(7/10) There’s always a lot of buzz the moment a new Rammstein album is announced and since ‘Liebe ist für alle da’ was released 10 years ago the level of excitement was even higher than usual. For many years it wasn’t a given that there will be another Rammstein album at all and now it’s... Continue Reading →
(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'. That's the title of the opener and it's more than only a four-letter word. 'Fury' is a deadly start into an album that combines harsh Death Metal, progressive... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Leathürbitch, already this moniker creates a certain level of attention, with the 'ü' being definitely more of an unusual letter in English language.

(7/10) London-based metallers Savage Messiah were busy over the last two years. Not only that the guys played a bigger number of shows, they also worked on a new delivery that’s ready to go.

(7/10) California-based Doom Metal veterans Saint Vitus have a new album in the starting blocks. Simply entitled 'Saint Vitus' the longplayer ends a seven years wait. Founding members Dave Chandler and Scott Ranger, together with their bandmates Henry Vasquez and Pat Bruders, that's the current line-up of the Doom legends. After having suffered from many...

(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 →

(*/10) Dogface is/was the deliverer of great Hard Rock records without having had the chance to enjoy a big break-through. The band premiered two decades ago after having found with Mats Leven an excellent frontman. With having Leven on board things gained speed, which unfortunately didn't last for too long. A sophomore album has been... Continue Reading →
