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. At the first hearing, I realized that I was dealing with good, expert musicians who present something pleasant to listen to, but at the same […]
My interaction with Ereb Altor began, I confess, somewhat late, as they came into my attention only in September 2016, when I watched them perform live in Doom Over Greece festival in Athens. Their excellent appearance tthat night made me curious, so I listened to their releases and I did not regret it. Their ability […]
Mastodon did not let time fly to release the next album. Once again they satisfy their audience and perhaps win a few new fans, since their music is not considered exclusively metal but has a more relaxed approach to progressive rock. “Emperor Of Sand” was released on March 31st, 2017 via Reprise Records. Perhaps they […]

They sound as powerful as the first grand releases, while having fun and satisfy their […]

Undoubtedly, the musical space occupied by the post genre, where the beloved German act Heretoir moves, has a tendency to approach the mainstream side of metal and I do not know if this angers or pleases me. My selfish side thinks that it’s unfair for people like me who listen such music since the end of the 80’s, to […]
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 […]
Overkill, the New Jersey veterans strike again and it seems that their wheel keeps on turning. 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 […]

Spiritual Beggars opened a path which substantially walked alone, Witchcraft […]
