Well I must admit as a shock rock/horror glam genre, MISSTRESS didn’t disappoint and kept true to the nature and feel of the genre. However with a few of the tracks I was at first a-taken back as it was a shock to the system but in the best way, I could not have asked … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Misstress – Resurrected
Europe undoubtedly showcases some of the best Power & Speed metal out there but emerging from the shadows, is a new contender to the throne.

Get your character sheet … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Nightshadow – Strike Them Dead
I was thinking that I’m beginning to have a special appreciation of the way the Dutch think about black metal. I wasn't sure what it is about that particular variety, but something captures a familiar bleakness. So I sat down and thought about it. Some time ago I reviewed the album The Comforting Grip of Misery … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Grey Aura – Zrwart Vierkant

It’s Andria … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Grimgotts – Tales, Sagas & Legends

They are a band with a legacy that is quite unlike any other. A legacy that is best summed up … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Motörhead – Louder Than Noise… Live in Berlin
It’s been a few years since I joined a Power and Symphonic Metal Appreciation group on Facebook. It’s been a great way to discover new bands whilst making new friends. One group that often popped up were FROZEN CROWN, I had heard the odd song or two and liked what I heard. I had never … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Frozen Crown – Winterbane
Cambridge Hard Rockers THE TREATMENT have been on my radar for the past ten years, blimey ten years. I was at university when I first listened to them and saw them live. AC/DC meets AEROSMITH were my first thoughts when listening to their debut album This Might Hurt. Fast forward to the present day and … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: The Treatment – Waiting For Good Luck
I often find myself in a strange place with death metal. I'll happily listen to fusion genres on a regular basis; Death doom, blackened death, death and roll and progressive death metal.
