Artist: Temperance Album Title: Melodies Of Green And Blue Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 19 February 2021 I’m normally one of those cynics when it comes to releases like this. An acoustic EP, largely comprised of re-recorded songs from a previous album. These records smack a little of cashing in on the loyal fan  Continue Reading »

Artist: Dragony Album Title: Viribus Unitis Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 15 January 2021 Keen to redress the balance of last year, when power metal seemed to fall of the face of the planet…or at least quality power metal releases at any rate, I have actively kept a weather eye on any potential albums  Continue Reading »

Welcome to instalment number fifteen of my 2020 ‘Album of the Year Top 30 countdown’. That means that I’m exactly halfway through this year’s countdown. Thank you so much to you all for reading and commenting on my choices because it gives me the impetus and the hunger to continue with it. I never learn,  Continue Reading »

Day two of my 2020 ‘Album of the Year 2020 – top 30 countdown’ is here. Quit your moaning at the back, please! 2020 may have been one of the worst years of our lives for many of us, but in terms of music, we have been blessed with some amazing releases. It proves that  Continue Reading »

  Artist: Draconian Album Title: Under A Godless Veil Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 30 October 2020 If you’re looking for a musical pick-me-up, the aural equivalent of chasing the last rays of sunshine before winter takes an icy grip, then this is most definitely not the album for you. In fact, given the  Continue Reading »

Artist: Hinayana Album Title: Death Of The Cosmic EP Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 28 August 2020 I can bet that there are not many readers of this website who are already familiar with the name Hinayana, despite the band being alive and well since 2014. Naming themselves after the Sanskrit term literally translated  Continue Reading »

  Artist: Unleash The Archers Album Title: Abyss Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 21 August 2020 Even with a moniker like Man Of Much Metal, I cannot possibly be across all bands, all genres and all styles of metal all of the time. Sadly, I’m not omnipotent, as hard as I might try. It  Continue Reading »

Artist: Wolfheart Album Title: Wolves Of Karelia Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 10 April 2020 When you’re a prisoner in your own home, on lockdown during the icy grip of a pandemic that is claiming thousands of human lives every day, it seems fitting to be listening to music that is dark and aggressive.  Continue Reading »

Artist: Serenity Album Title: The Last Knight Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 31 January 2020 In the recent past, most notably within my review of 2017’s ‘Lionheart’, I have boldly proclaimed that Serenity were one of my very favourite bands within the melodic metal sphere. Both ‘Lionheart’ and its direct predecessor, ‘Codex Atlanticus’ took  Continue Reading »

Artist: Temperance Album Title: Viridian Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 24 January 2020 I want to start off 2020 in positive fashion, so I will refrain from complaining about record labels who insist on only offering streams of albums for review purposes. I won’t mention the fact that it makes it almost impossible for  Continue Reading »
