My World of Music – est. 2013
(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. Next is the artwork that reflects a certain '80s vibe but besides all this it's the music that needs to do the job. While I was spinning this longplayer for the... Continue Reading →
I guess the artwork would qualify for being one of the 10 most embarrassing covers in metal in the '80s. However, the witches brew that's produced by the 'three witches' seems to have metallic firepower that can be transferred to musicians. According to the album title the brew makes you 'Stronger Than Heaven' and you... Continue Reading →
(9/10) Flight is hailing from Oslo, Norway. The band was founded in 2012 as a trio before the guys added with Kristian Ingvaldsen a second guitarist in 2013. The Norwegian quartet premiered in 2015 with a self-titled album, acting as a springboard for inking a deal with High Roller Records. ‘A Leap Through Matter’ is... Continue Reading →

With ‘Behold the Abyss’ the trio has a new album right in the starting blocks. It follows the 2015 release ‘To Below and Beyond’ and marks the band's premiere... Continue Reading →

(7/10) The fact that Finland is the home base for many interesting metal bands is well known. One of these bands is Outlaw, hailing from a city with a rather difficult name: Lappeenranta. Singer Lee Anvel and bassist John Kaiser started the band which grew to a five-piece. Guitars are handled by Jimmy Slashburner and... Continue Reading →
(8/10) It’s not that often that something else than black metal hits the plate when it comes to new releases from Norway. I’m not that much aware of many thrash- and speed metal band hailing from there, but here is one. Black Viper has its home base in Oslo and releases a first album mid-September... Continue Reading →
(9/10) Don’t get confused while thinking about Source from Sweden. There are two bands with this moniker, while this one here is the epic metal powerhouse. Source is the brainchild of former Portrait axeman Richard Lagergren. After having left Portrait in 2012 the guitarist immediately started to work on an own band – Source. To... Continue Reading →
(7/10) Gothenburg-based Armory is a metal powerhouse that grew out of the ashes of a band called Resurrector. The guys debut with an album entitled ‘World Peace … Cosmic War’ and now it’s time for second strike of Swedish speed metal. ‘The Search’, that’s the title of Armory’s sophomore record, features an eleven songs-comprising tracklist,...
