ETERNAL TERROR webzine is looking for people with passion for music who would be willing to dedicate some of their time to writing review either for new releases or for live shows, or why not, both. The texts can be either in English or Norwegian and the only qualifying criteria is that you like metal…

WILDNESS – Avenger

RELEASE YEAR: 2025BAND URL: https://www.facebook.com/wildnessofficial/ Wildness released a great and well-written album back in 2022 titled Resurrection, which blended melodic rock/AOR and hard rock to superb effect, and ever since then I have been looking forward to a follow-up to said piece of work. Their new record, Avenger, picks up the musical narrative where its predecessor…

THE BIG DEAL – Electrified

RELEASE YEAR: 2025BAND URL: https://www.facebook.com/TheBandBigDeal/ The Big Deal hail from Serbia, and “immediately accessible” would be an apt description of what the quintet delivers on this twelve-track opus of theirs. They have certainly progressed as musicians and songwriters since the last time I listened to their stuff, which would have been the First Bite LP from…

AGUSA – Högtid (Remaster)

RELEASE YEAR: 2025BAND URL: https://agusaband.bandcamp.com/ Agusa is a most engrossing and delightful addition to the already impressive prog rock roster of Karisma Records. Formed in Sweden back in 2013 and having released several noteworthy songs and gems since then, this musically adventurous ensemble takes us right back to the late 60s and early 70s by means…

BONFIRE – Higher Ground

RELEASE YEAR: 2025BAND URL: https://www.bonfire.de/ I recall reviewing Bonfire’s Pearls all the way back in 2016 and loving their take on huge-sounding hard rock and classic heavy metal with heaps of groove and class to it, and Higher Ground, which is their latest output, is a statement of intent and shows that there is still a…

OAK – The Third Sleep

RELEASE YEAR: 2025BAND URL: https://oakinoslo.bandcamp.com/album/the-third-sleep It seems like only yesterday that I had the great pleasure of reviewing the previous album by these talented prog rockers, namely the stately The Quiet Rebellion of Compromise (2022). With its deep-seated melancholy, genuine sense of yearning, and utterly captivating songs, said output was something to be admired and a…

PICTURE ANN RELEASE THE “DESCENDING UPON RUINS AGAIN” EP

The 2-track EP titled Descending Upon Ruins Again by the musically deviant post-rockers/ambient experimentalists Picture Ann is out now via Floodgate Moods Productions and is guaranteed to leave you in either a foul or reflective mood. The overall theme revolves around the notion of failing in every sense of the cursed word, and whereas the…

THE FERRYMEN – Iron Will

RELEASE YEAR: 2025BAND URL: https://www.facebook.com/TheFerrymenofficial/ The Ferrymen impressed me greatly when they released their One More River to Cross opus from 2022, and with a line-up that is comprised of nothing but pure talent and skill in the shape of multi-instrumentalist and producer Magnus Karlsson, singer Ronnie Romero, and drummer Mike Terrana, that was arguably not…

LABYRINTH – In the Vanishing Echoes of Goodbye

RELEASE YEAR: 2025BAND URL: https://www.facebook.com/labyrinthitaly Truth be told, I was never really a huge fan of this Italian progressive power metal outfit as I found many of their earlier discs somewhat lacking in substance and longevity, or at least that is how it was for several years from my perspective. Having said that, their 2021 opus…

OCTOPLOID – Beyond The Aeons

RELEASE YEAR: 2024 BAND URL: https://facebook.com/octoploidmusic/ It has become almost a custom among heavy metal (and rock) artists that members of well-established and successful bands either make solo albums or join other bands while remaining active in their main abode. It used to be (80s and 90s), due to time and space constraints (both now…

RELEASE YEAR: 2025BAND URL: https://kryptograf.bandcamp.com/album/kryptonomicon One of Bergen’s finest and most prominent exponents of genuinely inspired stoner rock is back with a thrilling new album that is bound to please fans of the band both old and new. We are of course talking about the mighty Kryptograf, i.e. the dynamic and tight quartet who churn out…

SKELETAL REMAINS- Fragments Of The Ageless

RELEASE YEAR: 2024 BAND URL: https://www.skeletal-remains.com/ Except for my brief church choir stint and occasional singing for and with children as an English teacher, I am not much of a musician, however, even I can still make the claim, as an over 30 year metal fan, that it seems not a complicated thing to make…

SHUGGAH – debut single out

Post-rock and metal artist Shuggah emerges from the depths of South Africa’s underground music scene with her debut single and music video, Amas Veritas, the first release from her upcoming conceptual album, Her Chrysalis, out on the May 2nd, via Mongrel Records. Shuggah’s sound is a unique fusion of aggressive walls of guitars, punchy drums,…

LEDFOOT – slipper ny musikk

‘You play by the rules decided by the environment you’re born into.‘ sier Ledfoot selv om den første singelen. Ledfoots syvende soloalbum, ‘Plain Simple Honesty’ er nettopp det: En samling brutalt ærlige låter rett fra hjertet. Tekstene er små historier som tar lytteren med til menneskesinnets mørkere sider der nederlagene står i kø, men hvor…

IGORRR – to release full-length album in September

photo: Ophélie Legriffon Igorrr to Release “Amen” Full-Length September 19th via Metal Blade Records French multi-instrumentalist and producer Gautier Serre has been operating under the name IGORRR for twenty years now, yet each new record still resounds with a startling freshness and radical vitality. Steadfastly unclassifiable fifth album Amen, set for release on September 19th…

DJERV – ny musikkvideo

Foto: Jørn Veberg To uker etter låtslipp: Nå kommer den offisielle musikkvideoen til «Reignbreaker» Metalbandet Djerv er tilbake – og denne gangen med et visuelt opprør. Etter å ha sluppet låta Reignbreaker 14. mars, laget til det nye actionspillet med samme navn, følger de nå opp med en helanimert musikkvideo som tar det hele til…

W.E.T. – Apex

RELEASE YEAR: 2025 BAND URL: https://www.facebook.com/wetofficialpage/ Receiving a new album by the fabulous international constellation known as W.E.T. is always a treat and this fifth full-length LP of theirs is no exception. Their line-up is akin to a wet dream (see what I did there?) to lovers of fist-pumping melodic hard rock and there is nothing…

NIGHBLADE – to release new album

FORMIDABLE UK ROCKERS RELEASE THEIR FIFTH ALBUM SINCE 2020! Unstoppable Brit Rock combo, NIGHTBLADE, will release their fifth album in a remarkable five years. The rampant riff slingers reveal their aptly titled album, 5, on Friday 11th April 2025. NIGHTBLADE’s creative output stands in a class of its own. While the highly rated rockers have strict…

TRE SMÅ KINESERE – nytt album i april

NYTT ALBUM FRA TRE SMÅ KINESERE “KYSS I MØRKET”  Albumet har 12 ferske låter med gruppa som har holdt på siden 1988, med varierende besetning, men alltid med Ulf Risnes som hovedfigur.  Ulf har skrevet alle låtene, bortsett fra tittellåta «Kyss I mørket», som er skrevet sammen med Øystein Hegge.
