Throughout their twenty-seven-year course, East Anglian Cradle of Filth has not yet submitted his flag of rather unjustly underestimated British black metal. The British Black Metal may not have the snowy plains of Scandinavia, the pagan mythology of Vikings and the cold, dry and ominous sound of the music of the northern Europeans, but they […]
Although black metal is not my cup of tea, I decided listen to this band because I read very good reviews in other magazines. The fantastic mix of atmosphere and barbarity captured me and I decided to write something about Der WegEinerFreiheit. The album is called “Finisterre” and released on 25/08/2017 via Season Of Mist. First […]
Sorrows Path are a constant in the doom/prog metal in Greece. I had the chance to chat with the founding member Kostas Salomidis. We had a very pleasant talk about the past, Sorrows Path latest release “Touching Infinity” and what lies in the future for the band. D.P: I noticed that since the release of […]
” 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 […]
It is important to have in mind that Paradise Lost emits a feeling of a band that doesn’t feel the need to provoke to be noticed or just to prove a point. Having passed through the fields of doom, gothic and electronic sounds, they have managed to keep their sonic identity – and fan base […]
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. 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 […]
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 […]
