Triumph or Agony
If you were among those disappointed by BLIND GUARDIAN's streamlining of their sound this year, your luxury liner has come in. RHAPSODY OF FIRE have, if anything, gone even further off the deep end into operatic, cinematic, utterly bombastic and gaudy symphonic metal. Choirs swell, drums thunder, st...October 23, 2006

The Scattering of Ashes
Usually, throwing a whole shitload of genres together and trying to make them stick is a fool's errand. You either come across as a needlessly showoffy musical dilettante, being difficult for its own sake, or you just make a big unlistenable mess with something to alienate everyone. That's why it's...October 16, 2006

Ragnarok
Soaring, epic, majestic progressive Viking metal from the Faroe Islands – how come they're not on top of the charts already? Actually, TYR have been raising quite a ruckus with their "Eric the Red" album, properly released worldwide this year after initially seeing the light of day in 2003 on a tiny...October 9, 2006

The two biggest questions facing EVANESCENCE — and in particular, vocalist and co-founder Amy Lee — upon the release of its third album, "The Open Door", is whether the band could replicate the multi-platinum success of 2003's breakthrough "Fallen", and if Lee could still compose memorable songs wit...October 2, 2006

Sacrament
Consistency has been the name of the game for Richmond, Virginia's LAMB OF GOD. As one of the undisputed leaders of the American metal movement, expectations have always run high for the band to top its last release and so far LAMB OF GOD has risen to the challenge. Few can argue that 2004's "Ashes...August 21, 2006

Hrimthursum
It seems like an eternity since long-time Swedish deathsters NECROPHOBIC released an album. It's actually only been four years or so. The excellent "Bloodhymns" was unleashed upon the world in 2002 on the now-defunct Hammerheart Records and left a bloody wake with its lethal blackened death/thrash d...August 21, 2006
