Pirates II: Armada
Over nearly 25 years and eight studio albums, VISIONS OF ATLANTIS have established themselves as the pristine epitome of symphonic metal.

In Gravity
Way back in the mists of 2020, SHRAPNEL released "Palace for the Insane", their third full-length album. It was, to put it mildly, a triumph. Previously tethered, and tightly, to the old-school thrash mast, the British band had outgrown their roots and become more sophisticated, more adventurous and...May 29, 2024

Phantoma
From the explosive opening seconds of their 2009 debut "Behold The Devastation", UNLEASH THE ARCHERS sounded like a band with big things looming in their future. Harder and faster than most of their power metal peers, the Canadians had the aggression and verve of a death metal band, and a singer — t...May 8, 2024

We all know it when we feel it: that euphoric rush that accompanies the arrival of a truly special heavy metal record into your life. Even in these jaded, desensitized and idiotic times, the very best heavy music can cut through the noise like a laser through dogshit. The fourth album from Sweden's...March 19, 2024

Really Good Terrible Things

The Catalyst
Contrary to popular opinion, AMARANTHE have never been a symphonic metal band. Throughout their 16 years of active service, it may have been a source of some irritation to founder Olof Mörck that his band have been so routinely and lazily lumped in with that particular subgenre. The truth is that AM...February 20, 2024

It Leads To This
Bruce Soord started THE PINEAPPLE THIEF a remarkable quarter-of-a-century ago. He almost certainly didn't expect the project to still be a going concern in 2024, and yet here we are, as Yeovil's finest continue reaping the rewards of their most recent transformation. There have been a few incarnatio...February 7, 2024

Freak Dreams
If nothing else, "Freak Dreams" makes a refreshing change. While many folk in the metal world seem unreasonably obsessed with the '90s, and the revival of every last shit-pot phenomenon that decade produced, SLOPE are making the rather more audacious move of bringing back the late-'80s funk-metal so...January 30, 2024

Hey Living People
A new heavy metal year demands a breath of fresh air or two to get the blood flowing. Led by vocalist Felix Heldt, who appears here as "Dr. Dead", DOMINUM are exactly that. Despite its loudly proclaimed themes of ghosts, ghouls and the undead, "Hey Living People" is almost intolerably upbeat, perky...January 4, 2024
