Artist: Redemption Album Title: I Am The Storm Label: AFM Records Date of Release: 17 March 2023 It wasn’t love at first listen when I first heard Redemption. In fact, it wasn’t until album number four, ‘Snowfall On Judgement Day’, released some six years after their self-titled debut saw the light of day, that I  Continue Reading »

Artist: Revocation Album Title: Netherheaven Label: Metal Blade Records Date of Release: 9 September 2022 For a band that seemingly creates new material faster than you can say ‘new release’, a gap of four years between albums is something of an unexpected headline. Nevertheless, this is the reality with which we are faced, in part  Continue Reading »

Artist: Blind Guardian Album Title: The God Machine Label: Nuclear Blast Date of Release: 2 September 2022 Never one to shy away from the truth, I begin this review by revealing that I have never been a huge fan of Blind Guardian. In the eyes of many, such an admission may be seen as heresy, made  Continue Reading »

Artist: Megadeth Album Title: The Sick, The Dying…And The Dead! Label: Universal Music Group Date of Release: 2 September 2022 For countless reasons, Megadeth have always been at the very top of my thrash metal list.

Artist: Witchery Album Title: Nightside Label: Century Media Records Date of Release: 22 July 2022 Swedish band Witchery have been around since 1997 – that’s twenty-five years, a quarter of a century – and for all of that time, they have remained at the periphery of my affections. Over the course of seven studio albums,  Continue Reading »

Artist: Hatriot Album Title: The Vale Of Shadows Label: Massacre Records Date of Release: 22 July 2022 Hatriot is one of those names in the thrash arena with which I am less knowledgeable than perhaps I ought to be, especially since they were formed over a decade ago by the Exodus vocalist Steve ‘Zetro’ Souza.  Continue Reading »

However, the good news is that it gives me an excuse to bring you a round-up post of my favourite albums that have been released in the  Continue Reading »

Artist: Municipal Waste Album Title: Electrified Brain Label: Nuclear Blast Date of Release: 1 July 2022 Seeing as I have finally embraced a greater love and appreciation for the thrash metal genre over the past year or two, I felt like it would be a good opportunity to listen to the new album from Municipal  Continue Reading »

Artist: Darkane Album Title: Inhuman Spirits Label: Massacre Records Date of Release: 24 June 2022 Ever since I discovered ‘Expanding Senses’ back in 2002 or thereabouts, I have had a soft spot for Swedish band Darkane. At a time when I was still very heavily into exploring everything that the melodic death metal genre had  Continue Reading »

Artist: Charlie Griffiths Album Title: Tiktaalika Label: InsideOut Music Date of Release: 17 June 2022 My love and admiration for the progressive metal band Haken is something with which regular readers of manofmuchmetal.com will be all too familiar.
