Firewind – Stand United – Album Review

Artist: Firewind Album Title: Stand United Label: AFM Records Date of Release: 1 March 2024 Four years may have passed since they released their self-titled ninth album in 2020 but, for Firewind, the reality is that very little has changed. Returning with the same line-up and the same, familiar musical output with their tenth release,  Continue Reading »

Metalite – Expedition One – Album Review

Artist: Metalite Album Title: Expedition One Label: AFM Records Date of Release: 19 January 2024 It is the year 2055 and the world is in turmoil. A team of renegades headed by five ‘commanders’, plans to undertake a survival expedition to other planets, in the hope of transferring mankind from Earth to a new world.  Continue Reading »

Pyramaze – Bloodlines – Album Review

Artist: Pyramaze Album Title: Bloodlines Label: AFM Records Date of Release: 23 June 2023 Over the years, Pyramaze have slowly become one of my favourite bands, albeit in a quiet, understated manner. That’s not to say that their music is either quiet or understated, but they have managed to push their way further and further  Continue Reading »

Graveworm – Killing Innocence – Album Review

Artist: Graveworm Album Title: Killing Innocence Label: AFM Records Date of Release: 28 April 2023  I first discovered Graveworm via their 2003 album, ‘Engraved In Black’. I bought it blind and, apart from the odd song here and there, I listen to it very infrequently. In fact, after buying this record, their fourth full-length studio  Continue Reading »

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 »

Redemption – I Am The Storm – Album Review

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 »

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? I sure do, and so, with the sun beating down, and a glass of something cold in hand, it feels like the perfect time to  Continue Reading »

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 »

Serious Black – Vengeance Is Mine – Album Review

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 »

Brainstorm – Wall Of Skulls – Album Review

Artist: Brainstorm Album Title: Wall Of Skulls Label: AFM Records Date of Release: 17 September 2021 The catch-up continues after my three-month hiatus, with the latest release from German power metal band, Brainstorm. Entitled ‘Wall Of Skulls’, this is the thirteenth full-length album from the Heidenheim-based quintet, and it was released midway through September on  Continue Reading »
