I have to admit at the very beginning that this will be one very hard review to write. Why? Because I fucking worship Possessed, that is why! Their debut album Seven Churches was one of my very first extreme metal records back in the day, the one that started it all for me along with…
After the great “Pumpkins United” tour with Helloween, Kai Hansen in 2019 takes time for a few selected GAMMA RAY shows. We are delighted to have won the German metal legend as one of the headliners for our festival. Along with the 2015 addition of beaten second-singer Frank Beck will release her first concert in Germany since…
Well, I just recently (like a few weeks ago) have noticed this newcomer band, Witchlords, a group that arrives from Belgium. Witchlords has just released their debut offering –Demons in the Dark” and I think its already one of the most impressive and original works in 2019. Their music owns traditional heavy metal elements, but also…
Let’s get one thing straight from the gate: Norwegian pagan metallers Helheim are one of my favorite names to bring up when the discussions ‘’the most underrated bands in metal’’ arose, and rightfully so.

German heretics Ketzer are back with their fourth album aptly titled Cloud Collider, which will mark somewhat return to form after very weird spot in their career.

IRON FIRE is actually well-established power metal band. They hails from Denmark and they have just issued their 8th full-length so we took the chance to have one interview and do one chat about their biography and their brand new offering. Iron Fire is just about the release it;s 8th full-length Beyond the Void so…
Same as Exumer, here we have the band that has reunited after the initial short run and now they are on their 3rd full length after their second start but Antropomorphia is more vile and diabolical beast that those German old thrashers. These Dutch hate mongers have always been up to creating the most evil…
Here we have another hot signing for legendary Metal Blade, and for this time they have unearthed yet another purest metal jewel from the pits of the underground in order to get the recognition they rightfully deserve. Vulture are German thrashing speed metal troop who exploded on the scene already with their debut The Guillotine…
German cult thrashers Exumer have just shown to the world that they will not be removed from the scene so easily like they did in the 80s and their 5th full length aptly titled Hostile Defiance is a firm proof of that statement. The thing is, they have released just two albums in their first…
