Tower Hill – Deathstalker (No Remorse)

I’ve waited a while for this release. I was pleasantly surprised when it was announced that this Canadian band were signed to No Remorse, a perfect fit for the band. The band (or sole member [then] released ‘Fighting Spirits’ demo… Continue Reading →

Malamorte – Omen (Moribund)

Following on from last years ‘Mass Cult Suicide’, I am happy to say that ‘Omen’ is a marked improvement and fits with projects “tags”. You still have really strained vocals to contend with, but it’s much more straight ahead metal,… Continue Reading →

Firewölfe – Conquer All Fear (Limb Music)

Umlauts! Right there above the ‘o’ of Firewölfe! I don’t think it takes a genius to work out that Firewölfe are a Heavy Metal band. A serious, no nonsense, time honoured classic Heavy Metal band. Those two little dots above… Continue Reading →

Paradox – Heresy II – End Of A Legend (AFM)

Thrash/Speed Metal band Paradox are no strangers to the scene, and as the “II” by the title above may suggest, they are out to further cement that statement by revisiting what is possibly their best known release from way back… Continue Reading →

Blacksword – Alive Again (No Remorse)

Blacksword’s debut came out back in 2010 and not a lot has been heard from the band until now. I was actually totally unaware of said personally, so if like me you are new to the band – who and… Continue Reading →

Blazon Rite – Endless Halls of Golden Totem (Gates of Hell)

Philadelphia’s Blazon Rite released ‘Dulce Beillum Inexpertis” last year and received much underground acclaim. Afflicted with the current pandemic and the restrictions it brought, studio time and rehearsals were hard to find. However, the band went with the DIY approach… Continue Reading →

Herzel – Le Dernier Rempart (Gates of Hell)

This French band (spot the clue!) have been on my radar for a while, this is a highly anticipated release personally. Whilst gaining an awesome level of respect in the metal underground, Herzel will develop into one of those bands… Continue Reading →

Mystik – Mystik (I Hate)

I have been looking forward to this album for a while. The band formed in Sweden 3 years ago and they delve into the US heavy/speed metal category. Not only does the artwork give a great impression of the album,… Continue Reading →

Visigoth – Conqueror’s Oath (Metal Blade)

I’ll clear one thing up straight away, Visigoth aren’t Goth in any way. I was once misled in a similar way by Belgian Metallers Ostrogoth, who also aren’t Goth-like…but they do have a little in common with Visigoth ironically. Not… Continue Reading →

Burning Ground – Last Day Of Light (Minotauro Records)

Although this is Burning Ground’s debut full length album, they’ve been enriching the Metal scene in their native Italy since 2002. A few line-up changes have ensued, as they always do, but the longevity in the band’s history shines through… Continue Reading →

Cloven Hoof – Who Mourns For The Morning Star (High Roller)

Cloven Hoof have worked hard over the last 12-13 years re-affirming their place as legendary having been a part of the original NWOBHM movement. All classic material is well revered, having reformed and released a couple of releases in 2006… Continue Reading →

October 31 – Metal Massacre 31 (Hells Headbangers)

This latest offering from classic heavy metal fanatics October 31 is a slightly different affair to normal. Rather than being a new studio album with their own songs, the group have decided to pay tribute to the legendary heavy metal… Continue Reading →
