As more and more artists go solo (for more or less obvious reasons) with a band in description only, more such bands crop up, more or less innovative. Flowing Downward offers two such "bands" this year, both Indonesian: Dusk In Silence and Soulless. This review concerns the former and its debut album "Beneath Great Sky…
Now this one is quite extraordinary and a very cool addition to the post-metal/alternative rock/industrial music canon and something that possesses both heart and soul. We are of course in the company of the latest (and incredibly moody output) by the intriguing outfit CROWN and these mesmerizing, hugely creative, and utterly brooding soundscapes are simply…
THERE IS A WAR RAGING WITHIN – AN INTERVIEW WITH BLAZE BAYLEY
Given that this one was released a couple of months ago, I shall try to keep this little review of mine as short and concise as possible. The sixth melodic hard rock record by the skilled Norwegian singer Issa is a polished and slick affair boasting a pristine sound and some impressive vocals, but sadly,…
There is something about these Italians’ knack for crafting quality music that works like a delightful charm for me and their latest output is yet another excellent symphonic power metal album with an abundance of prog traits. "Lifeblood" is simply an epic piece of work that is large in scope and where a flurry of…
The Mighty One hail from Canada and churn out an energetic mixture of heavy metal and hard rock with groove and grit to it, and the raw affair is suitably unpolished and also sufficiently vibrant to evoke that wonderfully invigorating spirit of rock ‘n’ roll, which is obviously a good thing. In many ways, this…
Released in February this year, Lizzard’s latest record simply did not show up on my radar until now and for some reason I had overlooked it earlier on, but the important thing is that this fiery hard rock opus by the French trio gets a bit of attention within the virtual pages of Eternal Terror…

NIFROST launches new single from upcoming album
It just occurred to me that this particular CD, which showed up a few weeks ago for me to review, was released late last year, so I will keep it as brief as I can and simply say that the one-man musical entity known as Glädjekällor has crafted a moody and rather depressive black metal…

SAGNTID RELEASES THE RELENTLESSLY BLEAK EP
HELLOWEEN – release new single and lyric video for "Fear Of The Fallen"
The Swedish act Infinite and Divine turned out to be a most pleasant surprise to these ears and a good mixture of melodic heavy metal with symphonic leanings and hard rock, and there is a tinge of melancholy and sadness to the song material in general that I find quite appealing. The outfit is essentially…
INSOMNIUM – Release Brand-New Single & Video To “The Reticent”
Kvikksand klar med nytt album!
The Finnish black metal horde known as Wolves of Perdition is a quite interesting encounter in many ways and I am rather impressed with how intense yet melodically rich this 13-track torture trap of theirs is. While the sound and overall presentation of "Ferocious Blasphemic Warfare" is relatively old-school and traditional, there is something about…
The French metalcore/melodic metal combo Dusk of Delusion is back with a five-track EP where the hard-hitting music is accompanied by lyrics revolving around World War I, which is an incredibly interesting topic in and of itself. With sharp, aggressive riffs and varied vocals, these guys churn out songs that certainly deliver a solid punch…
UK hard rockers The Treatment are back with another slab of high-octane rock ‘n’ roll with heaps of energy and plenty of grit to it, and if you want an album that offers excitement and groove, you need not look any further as "Waiting for Good Luck" possesses all of that and more. There is…
