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: Grave Digger Album Title: Symbol Of Eternity Label: Rock Of Angels Records Date of Release: 26 August 2022 Where do I begin with this, my first ever review of one of the most well-known and longest-serving bands within the world of heavy metal? Although I have been a reviewer for various outlets over the  Continue Reading »

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?

Artist: Fellowship Album Title: The Saberlight Chronicles Label: Scarlet Records Date of Release: 15 July 2022 A brand-new UK-based power metal band? Yes please.

Artist: Seven Kingdoms Album Title: Zenith Label: Distortion Music Group Date of Release: 17 June 2022 For a few years now, I’ve been meaning to check out the band Seven Kingdoms but something has always got in the way. I’ve heard a smattering of songs here and there, but that’s about it. However, finally, in  Continue Reading »

Artist: Wind Rose Album Title: Warfront Label: Napalm Records Date of Release: 10 June 2022 I have taken a listen to this mainly because I was asked to by a loyal and supportive reader of manofmuchmetal.com. If it hadn’t been for this request, it’s quite likely that I would have let this album drift past  Continue Reading »
