  One of my favorite albums from 2013 was Månegarm‘s Viking metal epic Legions Of The North. Their 2013 album, released on Napalm Records, presents various perspectives on death, life, and the beyond. One day, this long-running Swedish band came up in conversation, and from that moment, this was an …

Crucified is the title of the self released album by Jizzy Pearl released today (13th January 2013). I started out reviewing Love/Hate’s latest album but then found myself reviewing  a Jizzy Pearl solo release when Jizzy re-branded Crucified after rumours of proposed litigation by former members of Love/Hate. The forthcoming …

Local band Twilights Embrace were first up.  They got the night off to a good start and as their set went on the crowd grew steadily as more people arrived so they got a good crowd and went down well.  Nice twin guitar metal sounds combined with a mix of …

Having had the pleasure of reviewing the duo’s debut album, “The Asgarda” a short time ago, I decided to try and get a better idea of what makes the band tick. If you read just one interview this month, make it this one, we all bemoan the music industry and …

"...solid and meticulous... dense, brutal and delivered with a simplistic ease..."

"...you cannot help but be captivated by the ugliness of what unfolds before you."

"...strident, confident songs and epic themes."

#PlanetMosh reviews the new album from Primal Fear - Delivering the Black.

"With a bluesy style riff on the lead guitar along with deep bass cords, this is one epic rock blues song you must hear. So why not go over to your stereo, iPod, or whatever you use and pour a little warm stoner blues milk onto your metal rock cornflakes!"
