German melodic death metalcore monsters Heaven Shall Burn are back with their 8th studio album entitled Wanderer which simply continues their reign in their field, as simple as that. As opposed to their American counterparts who often dabble in some weak tendencies and commercial leanings, European ilk of metalcore is much more to my liking…

Primal Fear’s brand new album Rulebreaker has been already there for some time and the band has done already European tour. I met with the guys during their tour and…
As a matter of fact Nemesis Divina is one of the most important albums when it comes to black metal. It was very important record at that time for Satyricon, but also Nemesis Divina was a big step forward for the entire genre. Perhaps 1996 and 1997 were the breaking point, a period when black…

The Unknown is the sixth and the lastest full length from The Vision Bleak. Definitely different form the other records that the band has released so far.
