Album Reviews
Lamb Of God is back again with their typical groovy and heavy sound on a self-titled release, though nothing too surprising really.
Last April, Nightwish released their latest album. Let it surprise you in a good way.
Aversions Crown released with “Hell Will Come For Us All” yet again an impressive deathcore album that slays!
Magnus Pelander, the man behind Witchcraft, made ‘Black Metal’ completely on his own, turning it into an extremely minimalist acoustic adventure.
‘Solitude in Madness’ highlights a notable shift in style to the mid-00s. Therefore there’s remarkable brutality and ultimate aggression.
Turmion Kätilöt is back with yet another release. Let it be a warning for you: they intend to go global with ‘Global Warning’!
‘Titans of Creation’ is a robust mixture of complex guitar work, aggression and above all, it’s the ultimate thrash metal record.
Ladies and gentlemen, The Night Flight Orchestra will now start their on board service for their latest album ‘Aeromantic’ with a wide selection of cheesy campiness from the eighties.
The founders of blackgaze, Alcest, are back with yet another opus!
This actually shows a different prospect of how Strigoi was formed, this is yet another vessel where Gregor Mackintosh exposes his creativity and talent.
