That band with one of the most epic sounds in metal return with a release that will definitely not please long time fans.
Album Review: Twilight Force – Dawn of the Dragonstar
Why bother baking that wheel of Brie or Camembert? This power metal spectacular is all the cheese you will need.
Wacken Open Air 2017: Our Adventures
Attending for my 13th festival, I can safely say now that I base most of my years plans around what has come to be the world’s largest metal festival, or from my humble perspective, Europe’s biggest party. It’s 75’000 metalheads, nearly 80 top notch bands, 1000’s of litres of beer, and simply a joyful occasion shared by all, no matter how bad the weather is. And for the last 3 years it’s been pretty bad.
Decapitated : The (Anti)Cult Classic
Decapitated. One of the biggest debates among metalheads, the absolute epitome of old vs new. Beginning at such a young age, these pioneers of Death Metal had a pretty rough and ultimately uncertain future ahead. In their inception the band would be more akin to the likes of Morbid Angel or Deicide. What would come next many deem as Death Metal royalty, Nihility, an album that is just as relevant to this day as it was back in 2001. Not stopping for anything the band forged ahead again, with The Negation further cementing their sound until their Death Metal zenith that was Organic Hallucinosis.
Stone Sour And Their (Hydrog)radical New Album
Stone Sour, a major player in the mainstream Metal scene the band are arguably one of the biggest in the scene. With it being four years since the release of their double album extraordinaire that was The House of Gold And Bones, lots has changed in the Stone Sour camp. Resolving to return in 2017, the band would set to work on their brand new album and first without long time guitarist and fellow Slipknot pal, James Root.
Orden Ogan Share Their Dark Western Fantasy On ‘Gunmen’
There are a million and one power metal bands from Germany out there, yet somehow Orden Ogan have managed to slam their flag into the top of the mountain that gets increasingly harder to climb. The band have continued to make an impression throughout continental Europe, and slowly the world. We spoke to the band about how they’ve managed to stand out in an over-saturated market, and how their upcoming album ‘Gunmen‘ stands against the rest.
When Buying Records Was All The Rage
In an exclusive video, Germany’s Rage get nostalgic with their look back into their own record collection with some of their first records they bought and their all time favourites. They definitely had good taste!
Ten Years Later : August Burns Red – “Messengers”
Metalcore, ah the lifesblood of the mid two thousands. What was once one of the biggest players in the Metal world, now seems to be falling somewhat by the wayside. Of course there are the likes of Pierce The Veil, Of Mice and Men etc… that are carrying the genres far reaching flag. Not forgetting Killswitch Engage but the genre is somewhat stale, save for one band.
