With latest releases StormSpell Records has proved to be one of the leading labels when it comes to power metal or traditional heavy metal in general. I’m not saying that they are the best ones, but I am quite sure that latest package of offerings from this USA label has definetely somethign very interesting to…

The quality has become a trademark for Carach Angren! 🙂 Comparing to their previous issue Carach Angren’s latest offering Dance and Laugh Amongst the Rotten is definitely less complex record but it doesn’t mean that it’s less good. It’s actually more catchy! While This is No Fairytale was quite a complex piece of work CA…

This is the 2nd issue from Below. Already with the first one the band has succeeded to achieve some goals. We could already conclude that Below has made even better record comparing with the debut one, although the debut issue was quite good. As a matter of fact Below comes from Sweden and the influences…

The war machine returns! We are all happy that Henri Sattler reconsidered his decision to put God Dethroned to rest and after three years of reformation we have new album entitled The World Ablaze in front of us.

I have become acquainted with Vampire ever since their demo hailed by Fenriz, soon thereafter debut album and Cimmerian Shade EP followed and while being very cool slabs of metal I…

Just recently British based Bal-Sagoth has issued once again their first 3 CDs. All 3 re-releases have different cover artwork, booklet and diffrent production (in fact, cover for Starfire Burning Upon the Iced-Veiled Throne of Ultima Thule is not so diffrent, rather there are some smaller changes made).

German HM veterans Grave Digger are once more back with their latest effort Healed by Metal. I have to admit that I was expecting much more from their latest effort, since their 17th full-length Return of the Reaper was quite a good release. Needless to say that I am a true fan of their previous…
