When those fabulous first chords and tones of FM’s latest record “Synchronized” emanate from the speakers, you just know that you are in for a treat. Melodically rich and ridiculously catchy not to mention exceptionally well-played, the British rockers are firing on all cylinders here and this is an exciting and inspired release that beautifully…
When John Milton wrote his timeless classic he could not foresee that he would energize one of the most creative, versatile and eclectic bands in heavy metal. And just like "Paradise Lost" (and "Paradise Regained") inspired much Christian (not necessarily biblical) tradition, Paradise Lost birthed two powerful genres: doom/death (along with Anathema and My Dying…
Looking at the cover of the Belgian progressive hardcore/metallers’ 4th full length I wonder which meaning of the word "bear" do they associate their band’s name with: the carrying of loads or the wild animal, although, if the musical content is any indication, it’s probably both and therein is the ingenious simplicity of the moniker.…

Except for Graveir’s "King Of The Silent World" it seems there have not been any interesting black metal albums lately, but then again, I haven’t been really looking around for them, so the 7th offering by the English quintet Winterfylleth really took me by surprise, with the excellent mix of old Emperor and Dimmu Borgir-ian…
LED ZEPPELINs Celebration Day Strømmes Eksklusivt På YouTube i En Begrenset Periode Fra Førstkommende Lørdag, 30.Mai
It could be argued that bands such as Arsis, Revocation and The Black Dahlia Murder, while starting out as melodic death metal bands, because of their incredible instrumental prowess and their ability to seamlessly meld different genres, ended up creating what can be called a new, as of yet unnamed, style, roughly technical melodic death/thrash.…

MARATON – first ever full production live streamed concert
Noted rock journalist Susan Masino has written some very cool books revolving around Hank Williams, KISS, and Van Halen, but the one that we shall discuss and focus on here is an updated edition of her work on AC/DC that the ever-awesome Omnibus Press published quite recently. The chronicle of the marvelous AC/DC is obviously…
Gus G. has made a name for himself over the past 20 years with his superior skill on guitar and songwriting second to none. He’s spent time in Dream Evil, Arch Enemy, and most notably in Ozzy Osbourne’s band, but his primary project and focus has always been Firewind, an act that has truly come…

Pønkrockbandet ASTROBABES slipper sin tredje EP "Forfall" idag
The solo artist extraordinaire Hayk Ersemerci presented just this one eponymous EP for our amusement and consumption but, sadly, I cannot find any info on where the man comes from. Perhaps, it is better this way so that we can focus on the music at hand which is very good, indeed. While Hayk makes progressive…

TALES AND SHADOWS OF OLD – AN INTERVIEW WITH ANCESTRAL LORE
And the Grammy award for the weirdest sludge/doom metal record goes to "Sanctuary", Alkymist’s 2nd album after "Element" EP (2018) and eponymous LP (2018). On the guitar basis a’la Entombed’s "Wolverine Blues" or any Vallenfyre’s record a growling vocal a’la Nicholas John Arthur Holmes (Paradise Lost, Bloodbath) or Gregor Mackintosh (Paradise Lost, Vallenfyre) drives mid-era…
