(9/10) 'Origami', that's the title of Jeff Scott Soto's newest album.

(8/10) Already the first notes of Fleshgod Apocalypse' fifth album are massive . The Italian orchestral Death Metal fanatics don't waste any time and start with 'Fury'.

(7/10) Martyrdöd's smashing seventh album is mainly built on two pillars. One of them are the hysteric sound vocals by Mikael Kjellman and the other one are the rather melodic guitar lines. Now, using the work 'melodic' might lead to a wrong impression since Martyrdöd has nothing to do with melodic metal or similar. The... Continue Reading →
