GIOELI-CASTRONOVO – Set the World on Fire

This glorious 12-track affair by the two incredibly talented gentlemen that are Deen Castronovo (Dead Daisies, Revolution Saints, ex-Ozzy Osbourne) and Johnny Gioeli (Hardline) is perhaps one of the best and most well-written melodic rock/hard rock/AOR outputs to see the light of day in 2018 yet. The two of them worked together more than 25…

THIS WILD LIFE – Petaluma

I am not quite sure why this 10-track album by This Wild Life ended up in my pile of stuff to review as it is so far removed from what we usually cover here at Eternal Terror Live that I simply feel a little out of my depth here in terms of describing and analyzing…

DEATHCULT – Cult of the Goat

The scummy purveyors of sinister Norwegian black metal known as Deathcult finally unearthed and unleashed their darkened sophomore opus very late last year and it has been worth the long wait (the debut offering was released all the way back in 2007). With the core line-up consisting of Skagg (guitars and vocals), Thurzur (drums), and…

MARILLION – Brave (Deluxe Edition)

Living legends Marillion are without doubt one of the greatest prog rock outfits of all time. The fact that they are still out there touring, releasing brilliant albums such as "FEAR" (2016), and staying relevant speaks volumes about how dedicated these gentlemen are to their exciting and moving brand of music as well as their…

Truchło Strzygi – Pora Umierać

The rather obscure Polish outfit named Truchło Strzygi is truly an underground gem and a very cool surprise to the unrefined taste of yours truly. These ugly fuckers offer a strong and excellent cocktail consisting of black metal and punk rock that is both entertaining and exciting to indulge in. The lyrics are all in…

MICHAEL ROMEO – War of the Worlds / Pt. I

That Symphony X shredder Michael Romeo is an insanely talented guitarist is pretty much a fact. Based on its title, one could be led into thinking that this 10-track solo offering of his revolves around H.G. Well’s literary classic "War of the Worlds", but that does not seem to be the case. However, just as…

GRAHAM BONNET BAND – Meanwhile, Back in the Garage

Legendary vocalist Graham Bonnet (Rainbow, Alcatrazz, MSG) is undoubtedly one of the finest singers out there in the world of rock music and he is as charismatic as he is cool whenever he hits the stage. These past few years has seen him touring pretty much constantly with his own group, the Graham Bonnet Band,…

KOSMOGYR – Eviternity

The most interesting part about this melodic black metal project is that Kosmogyr consists of just two guys, Chinaman Xander Cheng (bass, guitar) and Czech Ivan (vocals, drum programming) who had collaborated over the internet. Does it work? Kosmogyr surprisingly works very well. Ivan’s production is great, the atmosphere of the album is superb, the…

TNT – XIII

The renowned and long-running Norwegian entity named TNT recently released its thirteenth album via Frontiers Records and I must admit that I was quite excited about receiving a promo copy of the album as I was keen on listening to what the band’s new vocalist had to offer. After the split with former singer Tony…

CRIMSON DAY – At the Mountains of Madness

Crimson Day, named so after D-Day of Normandy, is a Finnish thrashing heavy metal band heavily rooted in Iron Maiden and Judas Priest but taking pages from Dream Theater, Megadeth, Trivium and even Dark Tranquillity. "At The Mountains Of Madness" is their second album and boasts excellent production courtesy of Jussi Kulomaa. The album’s lyrical…
