Despite being their self-titled album, Winterlore is actually not, as tradition would dictate it, their first full-length release (or even their first release overall). In fact, Winterlore has thus far produced two full-length records and […]
“Super-group” – the word has somehow lost its weight thanks to the overexposure, and let’s face it, thanks to long line of half-hearted super-groups. But to be honest, over the years we’ve also witnessed some […]
Brute Forcz is the side project of two American wrestlers (yes, you read that right) who goes by the names Slammer and Jammer, respectively. While I know nothing about their wrestling career, I can tell […]

I first became aware of Gojira during an interview conducted with Annihilator’s Jeff Waters back in 2007, where he praised them to such a degree that I had to give them a chance. Since then […]
Eisen is quite the secretive, yet very ambitious band. Among their influences they cite elements from bands such as Cradle of Filth, Meshuggah and Noisia. While I am a bit fussy around what elements influence […]
I don’t know why I’m always getting old materials for review, something released a few years ago? At least this is the case with the Serpent Warning’ self-titled album from 2014?! Nevertheless, here comes a […]
A couple of months ago the Italian quintet Perseus released their second full-length album (which is also their fourth overall release, counting their two Demos). They have done what they could to keep close to […]

2016’s High Noon, saw the return of Mark Fox as a frontman of Shakra after the band’s rather solid two-album run with singer John Prakesh. The return might not have been as strong as one […]

Ethir Anduin is a Russian solo act (up until recently, that is) that specializes in a mixture of Black and Doom Metal as his chosen genre. He does this, and has done so in various […]
In the early ‘90s Psychotic Waltz had an important part in taking prog metal (and metal genre in general) into a new direction, but while their impact on the genre and overall acclaim have never […]
