Perhaps I expected something more from the second full-length of Evertale but still I sense only classic power metal in the most traditional way. Perhaps I could compare Evertale with Orden Ogan. So to say both bands preform modern sort of power metal and the main problem is that I still missing something in their…

Norwegian experimentalists Vulture Industries are back with their 4th full length entitled Stranger Times and the burning question is: have they succeeded in following their previous album? 2013s release The Tower have elevated their career without a doubt and changed their path from their first two albums that were a bit too much similar to…

Nattestid (1999) still remains the best ever recorded material from Hoest leader of Norwegian based black metal act known as Taake. Bjoergvin (2002) was actually different from the debut one but still it was a marvelous written work. Already with the third record the things start to change in one way or another. Later the…

Once they were very popular and one of the most innovative bands on the scene, very respected, and still they are, but time has changes and the audience has changed as well. As a matter of fact Samael has a cult status at the scene, since they are sort of pioneers when it comes to…

So I guess that the main reason why they are so relentlessly playing and…

Wow, I must admit that I did not expect an album of such quality from Ram! Make no mistake here, as Ram were one of the best bands from the Swedish revival of traditional Heavy Metal along with Enforcer, Portrait and In Solitude but I mistakenly thought that they have already reached their peak and…

Medusa could stand as a squeal to A Plague Within. More or less both records have the similar music base and idea so I guess that one could listen these two records in continuity. Both albums have significant touch from earlier PL career, but as far as I can notice Meduse is even more based…

Finnish heroes of folk metal Ensiferum are back with their seventh full length entitled Two Paths but there are not crossroads or different paths to be found on this offering – Ensiferum are firmly continuing down the path they have set decades ago now. Folk metal of their ilk has been true boom some time…

Swedish purveyors of true diabolical Heavy Metal Portrait are back with their fourth full length entitled Burn The World, three years have passed since their previous excellent album Crossroads and those of you who have already met Portrait can count on that they will now change their vision of musical art. No cheap gimmicks, no…
