Winterstorm – Everfrost (AFM)

After four more than solid Power Metal albums, Germany’s Winterstorm have finally attracted the attention of a label worthy of their talents. In their new home at AFM the band are sounding more concise, more mature, more diverse and more… Continue Reading →

Brainstorm – Wall Of Skulls (AFM)

What can I say about Brainstorm? No, really, what CAN I say about Brainstorm??? I’ve personally reviewed their last 3 albums for Ave Noctum, heard every album since their impressive debut (and it’s follow up) with Markus Jurgens on vocals… Continue Reading →

Orden Ogan – Final Days (AFM)

It’s been a pleasure to watch and enjoy the musical path that Power Metallers Orden Ogan have been following since their impressive if slightly raw debut back in 2004. Whether it be the heavily Running Wild influenced early releases, and… Continue Reading →

Judicator – Let There Be Nothing (Prosthetic)

This is actually the fifth outing for American Power Metal band Judicator, a band formed around the core of guitarist Tony Cordisco and vocalist John Yelland who, as legend has it, met eight years ago whilst waiting to get into… Continue Reading →

Wind Rose – Stonehymn (Inner Wound)

When you see the cover, clock the image of the band and hear the intro you just know you’re in for a hefty slab of mighty Viking Metal from…errr…Italy. OK, well Italy isn’t hugely known for it’s Viking Metal (I… Continue Reading →

My Refuge – A Matter Of Supremacy (Bakerteam Records)

My Refuge have a record deal and an album out! After favourably reviewing their self-financed EP in 2013 it appears sanity has prevailed and someone has signed them up for their debut full length album…and here it is! Largely based… Continue Reading →

Lonewolf – The Fourth And Final Horseman (Napalm)

As the name suggests, Lonewolf owe plenty in style to original German Pirateers Running Wild (‘Lonewolf’ being one of RW’s better known tracks of course), which I have to admit is an area of Power Metal that I’m quite partial… Continue Reading →
