Here we have the 4th full length of Midnight, the name basically led by one and only hooded demon Athenar, and the only thing that has changed in his world is the new label. Everything else is basically just the same good old sleazy Midnight people grew to love years ago so if you are…

If you are at least a bit serious listener of melodic metal forms you know the story behind this troop so I do not need to waste many words about German institution Rage led by indestructible Peavy Wagner. Led by this man and his various line ups, this band has survived decades of various musical…

The Infernal Pathways definitely among the best records in 2019, if not the best one. The music is coherent and yet the band does not fear to step out from what we usually today know as black metal standards. But, we have to keep in mind that the best Norwegian bands during 90s were able…
