Artist: Myrath Album Title: Karma Label: earMUSIC Date of Release: 8 March 2024 Somewhat unbelievably, this is the very first time I have ventured a review of a Myrath album. I’ve been aware of the Tunisian metal band for a number of years as friends and acquaintances have sung their praises since they released their  Continue Reading »

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 »

We’re halfway through 2022 already. How on Earth did that happen? It’s true what they say, that the older you get, the faster time seems to fly by. 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: 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 »

I’ve heard a smattering of songs here and there, but that’s about it. However, finally, in  Continue Reading »

Artist: Nasson Album Title: Scars Label: Frontiers Music Date of Release:  28 January 2022 Here’s a decent little find that was originally hinted at by a follower of my website. Inevitably, given their apparent march towards world domination, this release sees the light of day through Frontiers Music, so don’t expect any nice packaging or  Continue Reading »

Welcome to the latest post in my 2021 Album Of The Year 2021 Top 30 Countdown. I really can’t believe that I am at the Number 9 point already. It seems like only yesterday that I started compiling my list and writing the first post. But Christmas is arriving with increasing speed, so it means  Continue Reading »

Welcome to Day 14 of my ‘Album Of The Year 2021 Top 30 Countdown’. Thank you for all the support you’ve shown me and my endeavours throughout 2021, and during this traditional end-of-year curtain-closer. As I near the half-way point of this year’s countdown, I’m reminded in glorious technicolour, just how great 2021 has been  Continue Reading »

Artist: Eclipse Album Title: Wired Label: Frontiers Music Date of Release: 8 October 2021 For a number of years now, Eclipse have been one of the biggest names in melodic hard rock circles, and one of my go-to bands when a dose of hard rocking and hook-laden music is what I need. Released around a  Continue Reading »

Artist: Nestor Album Title: Kids In A Ghost Town Label: Nestor Prestor Music Group Date of Release:  22 October 2021 I have tried to get hold of a promo of this record for quite some time, even contacting the band personally in an attempt to succeed. Unfortunately, I drew a blank and were it not  Continue Reading »
