Purveyors of happy metal Freedom Call continues their crusade of being the most positive band on power metal scene with their 9th studio album appropriately titled Master Of Light, and that sentence sums up the album very nicely. Freedom Call is still the same themselves so if you heard the band before you know what…

A lot has been said about the legendary Darkthrone, and still they are enigma of sorts. Their career stemming from Soulside Journey all over to The Underground Resistance can be seen as a mirror of its two creators; Nocturno Culto and Ferny have always played what they felt like regardless of any trends, much rather…

Here we have the reissue of second album of Númenor, epic extreme power band led by our own editor Despot Marko Miranovic, and this edition is enhanced by some goodies that will come in handy for all true fans of the group. It should be said at the very beginning that Sword and Sorcery was…

It seems to me that Finnish defenders of melodic death metal faith Insomnium only get better with the passing of time: their 2014’s album Shadows of the Dying Sun saw them at their most brutal and catchy simultaneously, upping the ante on all departments.

Sad…

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…

Beyond the Veil is 4th full-length is the discography of UK-based Dark Forest. I was not so familiar with their music, but finally I have a chance to check them more closely. I have to admit that their cover got me in their music since it remains a lot on Skyclad’s covers in a way.…

37 years into the career and no sign of getting tired for American power metal legends Vicious Rumors as their 12th studio album entitled Concussion Protocol shows with an iron fist! This album tells a tale about the end of the world and for such topic the band has prepared slightly more aggressive album, which…
