New Metal Leader

It has been several years since I've really given much of a shit about MANOWAR. Not that I don't appreciate what they do; I just kind of lost interest some years back, but still cherish golden 80s albums like "Fighting the World", "Hail to England", and "Kings of Metal". As such, I was marginally in...

Black Faith Inquisition

I really struggled with this one. I'd go back and forth between assessing "Black Faith Inquisition" as an epic tour de force of melodic black metal and a painstakingly long, verbose black metal album that tries to do too much. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. There is no question that...
