Saint Deamon – League Of The Serpent – Album Review
Artist: Saint Deamon Album Title: League Of The Serpent Label: AFM Records Date of Release: 21 April 2023 Here’s a band that I know almost nothing about, other than their name. Saint Deamon, as some of you will probably already know, are a Scandinavian melodic power metal band, comprised of four musicians of Swedish and Continue Reading »
Kamelot – The Awakening – Album Review
Artist: Kamelot Album Title: The Awakening Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 17 March 2023 My relationship with Kamelot has been a rocky one. My personal discovery of the band occurred around the release of ‘Karma’, thanks to the skills of the owner of the best record shop in East Anglia at the time. As Continue Reading »
Delain – Dark Waters – Album Review
Artist: Delain Album Title: Dark Waters Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 10 February 2023 In 2021, Delain disbanded, leaving fans wondering whether or not we’d seen the end of the Dutch symphonic metal band. I wasn’t one of them though, as I’d never been particularly enamoured by them, and the fact that they might Continue Reading »
Dynazty – Final Advent – Album Review
Artist: Dynazty Album Title: Final Advent Label: AFM Records Date of Release: 26 August 2022 Who doesn’t enjoy a good old slab of modern melodic metal every now and again?

A-Z (Alder/Zonder) – A-Z – Album Review
Artist: A-Z (Alder/Zonder) Album Title: A-Z Label: Metal Blade Records Date of Release: 12 August 2022 I’m well aware of the fact that the artwork of an album is not the most important thing.

Fellowship – The Saberlight Chronicles -Album Review
Artist: Fellowship Album Title: The Saberlight Chronicles Label: Scarlet Records Date of Release: 15 July 2022 A brand-new UK-based power metal band? Yes please.

Sinner – Brotherhood – Album Review
Artist: Sinner Album Title: Brotherhood Label: Atomic Fire Records Date of Release: 15 July 2022 When you consider how much Mat Sinner (real name Matthias Lasch) has suffered with his health over the past year or more, it is a cause alone for some celebration to hear Sinner back doing what he loves.

Fallen Sanctuary – Terranova – Album Review
Artist: Fallen Sanctuary Album Title: Terranova Label: AFM Records Date of Release: 24 June 2022 On paper, this album should be a home run. I’m a massive fan of Austrian melodic metal band Serenity, in particular the vocal stylings of Georg Neuhauser which are always out of the top drawer. I also found ‘Viridian’, the Continue Reading »
Wind Rose – Warfront – Album Review
Artist: Wind Rose Album Title: Warfront Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 10 June 2022 I have taken a listen to this mainly because I was asked to by a loyal and supportive reader of manofmuchmetal.com.

Battlelore – The Return Of The Shadow – Album Review
Artist: Battlelore Album Title: The Return Of The Shadow Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 3 June 2022 Am I the only one to get excited when a band returns from an extended hiatus?
