(8/10) After having received Witchery's latest longplayer "In His Infernal Majesty's Service" in late November last year I actually expected a successor for 2022. Not that there was any specific reason more than looking on the frequency of Witchery albums...

(8/10) Stockholm is, at least when it comes to metal music, known for outstanding hardrock and sinister death metal. But there's a thrash scene either and one of the most known bands is Dr. Living Dead!. The group, featuring four doctors (Dr. Rad, Dr....

(7/10) Savage Messiah debut in 2009 with a first release entitled “Insurrection Rising”. In a regular fashion more records have been added to the discography and it’s “Hands of Fate” being longplayer number four in a time span of eight years. Savage Messiah,...

(7/10) Fozzy is one of these bands I followed on the side over the last years and even though the guys have a long track record I never went into detail into their music. However, 2017 is the year of Fozzy’s new longplayer “Judas” seeing the light of...

(7/10) Radio Moscow isn’t a Russian radio station. It’s actually a band that began to ‘broadcast’ rock music from Iowa to the world. In the meantime the trio moved to San Diego, California and releases their first album for Century Media; ten years after...

(8/10) One of the most exciting newcomers over the last couple of years have been Swedish Dead Lord. The band from Stockholm, with Smaland roots, appeared on the scene in 2012 when Hakim Krim and Adam Lindmark moved to the Swedish capitol to start a new...

(6/10) "Don't give a fuck about your feature in that magazine", that's one line in Eskimo Callboy's title track "The Scene", showing a band that seems to be fueled with self-confidence. It is great that the guys know what they want, making their journey....

(8/10) The Lurking Fear doesn't even try to bring much new to the table - and this is the joy of "Out of the Voiceless Grave". This album features raw and oldschool Swedish death metal that is captured in twelve brutal chapters. The Lurking Fear is chief...

(5/10) OK, you can like this stuff but you don’t have to. I guess this summarizes Man With A Mission very well. There’s nothing wrong with stretching the borders and there’s also nothing wrong with combining music and styles to something mind-blowing...

(8/10) Following the advancement of a band from their early days up to date is nice thing. For me, Danish Volbeat is belongs to this group of bands and Iced Earth is another one. It was at the end of the 80's when I received a demo called "Enter the Realm",...
