Axenstar – Chapter VIII (Inner Wound)

Just over 20 years since Swedish Power Metal mainstays Axenstar released their impressive debut “Perpetual Twilight” the band has racked up a number of equally attention-grabbing and unapologetically bombastic Metal albums, arriving in 2023 with their eighth offering (if only… Continue Reading →

Evil – Book of Evil (From the Vault Records)

Denmark’s Evil are regarded as one of those classic bands, a 1999 re-issue of their ‘Evil Message’ EP with Sortilége helped their heritage, I am sure. Following a bumpy attempt of resurgence in 2015 with ‘Shoot the Messenger’, sole original… Continue Reading →

Adamantis – Far Flung Realm (Cruz Del Sur)

After a self-released EP in 2018, Cruz Del Sur have now waded in and unleashed American Power Metal band Adamantis’ first full length album “Far Flung Realm”. It’s an album with its feet firmly fixed in the finest Power Metal… Continue Reading →

BattleroaR – Codex Epicus (Cruz Del Sur)

BattleroaR (still persisting with the capital R at the end of their name so lets humour them and not spoil things eh?) don’t do anything by half. It amazes me that it’s taken them until their fifth album to get… Continue Reading →

Estate – Mirrorland (Mighty Music)

Russian Symphonic Melodic Metal band Estate have had a bit of a re-assess in the past 4 years. “Fantasia” was a more than credible Symphonic/Melodic/Power Metal debut, relying as it did on good tunes and memorable melodies, but possibly lacking… Continue Reading →

Iron Fire – Among The Dead (Crime Records)

Still keeping alive the fine tradition of German Power/Heavy Metal are Iron Fire…from Denmark. Well, it’s near enough, and they are no strangers to the scene either, this being their eighth full-length studio album and first for Crime Records. The… Continue Reading →
