” Urn “ will be released on October 27, 2017 via Season Of Mist and is not just a perfectly executed technical challenge, but a realization of feelings of peace and sometimes dynamism that the listener certainly does not expect. It’s just their third album, and although each is a masterpiece, I think ” Urn […]
The Swiss folk metallers Eluveitie return with “Evocation II – Pantheon“. Those who’ve been following the band know that in 2009 they released “Evocation I – The Arcane Dominion“. The sequel is the continuation of the folk melodies of the first one. Many acoustic vibes and the lack of metal elements continue to appear perhaps, […]
“Anticult” released on July 7th, 2017 is the title of the new album from Decapitated, maybe a bit different from their previous work, but I consider it an evolution to their sound. As we know, the band was marked by their drummer’s (Vitek) premature loss, but as nothing can be done, life is going on […]
Iced Earth, that is, Jon Schaffer, after constantly changing musicians , did not deviate from what Iced Earth were playing at the dawn of their career. With a singer who is approaching the voice of the great Matt Barlow they created another remarkable album entitled “Incorruptible” and was released on June 16th, 2017 via Century […]
The Low Spark is a surprising trio from Cyprus that released its debut album “Few But Many” on May 18st, 2017. The album contains eight songs of original progressive rock.

Perhaps they […]
Obituary have an amazing 30-year old course so far, which even them hadn’t imagined at the start of their career. The tenth studio album called “Obituary“, was released via Relapse Records on March 17th, 2017 and continues this upward course. They sound as powerful as the first grand releases, while having fun and satisfy their […]
Doomocracy are from Greece and specifically from Heraklion, Crete. From their debut it’s obvious that we refer to a big talent. On March 13 2017 they released their second album via Steel Gallery Records entitled “Visions & Creatures Of Imagination” and made me feel that it can easily stand next to well known groups of […]
Label: Napalm Records Release Date: 27 January 2017 Country: Germany Xandria’s new album reminded me the energy of good Nightwish and the sound of prior and good Epica releases. One hundred percent symphonic metal in every song. It may not reach the quality of the previous album “Sacrificium” but it’s more convincing compared to the new releases […]

Loyal to thrash metal but with groove components, they ‘ve created an album that can be compared with their golden years in the 90’s. Lets see the reasons that led them to such a quality result. The riffs are heavy and […]
