Artist: Serious Black Album Title: Vengeance Is Mine Label: AFM Records Date of Release:  25 February 2022 This is now the third release from Serious Black that I have reviewed within the pages of manofmuchmetal.com and it is safe to say that the results have been rather varied. 2017’s ‘Magic’ scored highly, as it delivered  Continue Reading »

Artist: Allegaeon Album Title: Damnum Label: Metal Blade Records Date of Release:  25 February 2022 I could have sworn that I’d reviewed Allegaeon in the past. I was certain of it. And yet, upon further investigation, I am grossly mistaken. Thank heavens I didn’t lay a wager on it, that’s all I can say. It’s  Continue Reading »

Artist: HammerFall Album Title: Hammer Of Dawn Label: Napalm Records Date of Release:  25 February 2022 I’m not entirely sure why I’m reviewing this record because it feels a little like a redundant exercise. Existing fans won’t care what I and others have to say for they will no doubt have the album on pre-order  Continue Reading »

Artist: Immolation Album Title: Acts Of God Label: Nuclear Blast Date of Release: 18 February 2022 It has been well documented on the pages of this website that I arrived late to the death metal party. My early years of extreme metal exploration tended to gravitate towards the genres and subgenres that offered me some  Continue Reading »

Artist: Veonity Album Title: Elements Of Power Label: Scarlet Records Date of Release:  18 February 2022 Veonity’s 2018 release, ‘Legend Of The Starborn’ was a bit of a power metal corker scoring highly on this very website. 2020’s follow-up, ‘Sorrows’ wasn’t bad either, but it’s fair to say that they did throw a bit of  Continue Reading »

Artist: Nightrage Album Title: Abyss Rising Label: Despotz Records Date of Release:  18 February 2022 My attention was first drawn to Nightrage back in 2003 when they released their debut album, ‘Sweet Vengeance’. Always on the look-out for a great slab of melodic death metal, I was drawn by the fact that the band was  Continue Reading »

Artist: Arjen Anthony Lucassen’s Star One Album Title: Revel In Time Label: InsideOut Music Date of Release:  18 February 2022 I’ve had a few struggles this year already with a couple of reviews, with writer’s block and a lack of clarity causing me to procrastinate and not know what to think or what to write  Continue Reading »

Artist: Pure Wrath Album Title: Hymn To The Woeful Hearts Label: Debemur Morti Productions Date of Release:  18 February 2022 It was back in 2020 that I came face to face with an impressive three-track EP by an outfit by the name of Pure Wrath. The EP was entitled ‘The Forlorn Soldier’ and it was  Continue Reading »

Artist: Dagoba Album Title: By Night Label: Napalm Records Date of Release:  18 February 2022 Never having listened to a single second of any of Dagoba’s previous seven albums, this review could have gone in any number of directions. However, the fact that I am offering my thoughts on it, should tell you that album  Continue Reading »

Artist: The Last Of Lucy Album Title: Moksha Label: Transcending Obscurity Records Date of Release:  18 February 2022 By all accounts, it doesn’t seem to matter one way or the other whether you’ve been a long-term fan of The Last Of Lucy when it comes to this review. I’m not familiar with them, having been  Continue Reading »
