72 Seasons

Despite being the biggest heavy metal band of them all, METALLICA have a tough time of it. "72 Seasons" arrives a forgivable seven years after the well-received "Hardwired… To Self-Destruct", and like each of its post-Black Album predecessors, it is destined to be praised and derided in equal measur...

Judgement Day

Dispatching the cynics with the opening seconds of their "Awakening The Abyss" debut in 2017, LOVEBITES have been an irresistible force from the start. Rarely has any power metal band been so relentlessly ferocious, particularly with the virtuoso chops to match. Subsequent albums "Clockwork Immortal...

The Majesty Of Decay

There is nothing quite like some rigorous independent thinking to make narrow-minded folk wet their beds.

Last year's "The P...

Seventh Rum Of A Seventh Rum

Remorselessly silly as they are, ALESTORM have been one of the biggest draws in European metal for the majority of their 18-year existence.
