The Graviators - Motherload
03.09.2014 | Stoner Doom

Old school style Sabbath/Pentagram worshippin' doom. Do I hear Jimi somewhere in the mix?

Derivative but awesome.

Crimson Shadows - Kings Among Men
17.08.2014 | Extreme Power Metal

An unpretentious mix of DragonForce, Amon Amarth and mid-career Ensiferum.

Extreme power metal done right.

10.07.2012 | Melodeath

Not reinventing any wheels here, just a wide variety of different takes on melodic-extreme metal combined into a homogenous, well executed mixture.

3 Inches Of Blood - Long Live Heavy Metal
24.05.2012 | Heavy Metal

You know what? This was a hard album to grow attached to. While it may not contain instantaneously infectious 3 Inches' anthem classics like "Deadly Sinners", "Trial Of Champions" or "Battles And Brotherhood", you'll find tracks like "Dark Messenger", "4000 Torches", "Leave It On The Ice" and "Men Of Fortune" still cram-packed with great riffs, which is, at their core, what this band is all about.

Excuse the fanboy moment.

17.05.2012 | Melodic Black Metal

Catchy Euro Power metal meets raging wall-of-sound black metal? Yes please.

Here's a taste.

No funny stuff. Just black metal with a face-vs-brick-wall type impact. Unbelievably loud & crushing.

Step In Fluid - One Step Beyond
20.03.2012 | Jazz Prog

There's not a lot of "funky" metal out there these days that doesn't sound like crap. Here's a great prog album that is as much jazz as it is metal.

10.03.2012 | Blackened Heavy Metal

Catchy heavy metal with a rough, razor-sharp black metal edge. A big thumbs up for those who love a little raw aggression in their melodic metal.
