Album Reviews

The popular metal outfit Trivium is back with album number 8 “The Sin and the Sentence” to prove that they’re the epitome of modern metal!

This album has the Black Veil Brides sound that you know. It won’t disappoint you and it won’t surprise you. But it will amaze you.

Are you in for a trip to the unknown? The horrors that hide in the unknown is exactly what we’re after! A slice of industrial horror metal by Killus to quench your thirst for music to lose your mind to.

Classic metal band Anvil is ready to release a new pounding record to the world. Quality heavy metal at its best.
