AGATHODAIMON The Seven

It’s indeed cool when some bands return after a long time of pause so the same has happened with German based gothic black metal band Agathodaimon. I have to say that I was a fun of this band since the very beginning since I could recall their glorious days but it was like 25 years…

DIAMOND KOBRA The Rise of Kobra!

Diamond Kobra is quite a new name for all of us although the band is out there already for some time of period. Since various very popular individuals from metal scene are involved in this particular project it time to present Diamond Kobra on our pages. I would like just to mention few bands like…

KEEP IT TRUE Blind Guardian Wurzburg 20.11.2021.

After almost two years of nothing we finally ended up on Keep it Ture. This was my first time ever that I have ever get a chance to visit this particular and legendary festival so it was like a double bonus. Of course, I was mainly interesting to see Blind Guardian after several years of…

SETH La Morsure du Christ

Prime black metal in its best form! Latest offering from Seth is something that has really moved the black metal scene. After countless singed and unsigned Bandcamps bands from various black metal promotion YT channels I’ve found finally something that counts as the most serious and most mature black metal work in 2021! I strongly…

STORMKEEP Tales From Othertime

I know that this band could stand as one of my favorites from 2021, but the things are slightly different. Of course, that the record has made an impact on me, it has some cool ideas, a mixture between melodic death and epic symphonic music but somehow they failed to empress me in the way…

HYPOCRISY Worship

After years and years of complete silence (at least when it comes to recording something) Hypocrisy has returned once more to rock the very foundation of earth perhaps for the final time, but anyhow Worship continues of what they are doing since Extreme Taste of Divinity which turned out no doubt to be their best…

OPERA DIABOLICUS Death on a pale Horse

Perhaps one of the best works that came from 2021. It took me longer since I have started to dig more into their latest work, since I was quite unfamiliar with the group but at the of the day it turn out to be really a great work, almost a little masterpiece. I could recall…

DIAMOND KOBRA the new single hymn „Rise of the Legion“

DIAMOND KOBRA delivers the new single hymn „Rise of the Legion“ with guitar wizard Frank Pané (Bonfire, Sainted Sinners) on guitars – the first track of their next album. Multi instrumentalist Tommy Geiger (ex-Palast) plays the bass guitar on this futuristic 1980s Heavy Metal track with strong Savatage and Crimson Glory influences. Otto Løfgren says:…

BLIND GUARDIAN Studio Report 3

During the late 2020 and at the very beginning of 2021 we did two separate studio reports about upcoming Blind Guardian album. Now, after a year and more after we have more information about the album since everything has been prepared for the releasing and the first songs (and single) was already released. But, this…

MYSTIC CIRCLE Mystic Circle

When we were still in our teenage years, probably 16-17 years old (or even younger), I could recall that we’ve heard about Mystic Circle from one CD compilation which was featured in Ablaze Magazine, it was named The Days of Final Frost or something like that. The song title was Kiss from a Vampire! Later…
