Beyond The Black
Brimming with promise from the start, BEYOND THE BLACK began their career sounding not entirely distinct from the rest of the big-budget symphonic metal pack. Debut album "Songs of Love and Death" was full of great songs and vocalist Jennifer Haben had power and charisma in abundance, but this was s...January 11, 2023

Mater Larvarum
Born as a DEATH SS tribute act, but now several albums along a glittering but shadow-shrouded path of their own, DEATHLESS LEGACY should really be much better known. Their sound is rooted in heavy metal horror, of course, but also in the razor-sharp power metal anthemry of bands like POWERWOLF, the...December 8, 2022

The Majesty Of Decay
There is nothing quite like some rigorous independent thinking to make narrow-minded folk wet their beds. JUDICATOR have been one of power metal's most potent forces for some time, with a sound that owed plenty to BLIND GUARDIAN without ever borrowing directly from them, and that sounded neither ove...November 23, 2022

Lightwork
The last few years have found Devin Townsend in a somewhat fractious mood. 2019's "Empath" was one of his most extravagant and unhinged releases to date: an epic prog metal monolith that threw an extraordinary number of disparate ideas together, with sublime but startling results. Last year's "The P...October 31, 2022

PARADISE LOST's GREG MACKINTOSH And NICK HOLMES Launch HOST Project
HOST, the new project from PARADISE LOST vocalist Nick Holmes and guitarist Greg Mackintosh, will release its debut album, "IX", on February 24, 2023 via Nuclear Blast Records. The music video for the LP's first single, "Tomorrow's Sky", a cascading, synth-laden track driven by an insatiable pop voc...October 21, 2022

Death, Where Is Your Sting?
After four acclaimed albums and nearly a decade of active service, the idea that AVATARIUM were ever just another side project for the endlessly prolific Leif Edling now seems ridiculous. If 2013's self-titled debut occasionally strayed a little too close to the CANDLEMASS mothership in terms of rif...October 19, 2022

Tales From Six Feet Under Vol. II
Two albums in it is more than apparent that Charlotte Wessels was always destined to be a solo artist. As frontwoman with DELAIN she presided over some of the classiest tunes to emerge from the symphonic metal scene over the last decade, but as she demonstrated with startling panache on 2020's "Tale...October 6, 2022

Army Of Dreamers
Armed with the kind of pipes that cause serious structural damage, Russell Allen can usually be relied upon to sing the living shit out of everything he records, whether with SYMPHONY X or any of the generally great collaborations he has explored over the years. Similarly, Anette Olzon has undergone...September 6, 2022

Westgate Under Fire
Not content with being a world-class frontman in the greatest festival party band on the planet (that's SKINDRED, fact fans), Benji Webbe returned to a rejigged DUB WAR in 2015 and "Westgate Under Fire" is the long-awaited result. The Welshman's former band briefly threatened to bother the mai...August 4, 2022

Brotherhood
After over four decades of relentless rocking, most people would have run out of ideas and found something less exhausting to pursue. Luckily, Mat Sinner is not most people. The German has been prolific and resolute for 40 years now, both with SINNER and the reliably steel-plated PRIMAL FEAR, and wh...July 13, 2022

Mirrorcell
Audibly happy to be confounding people that thought they had him pegged, Greg Puciato's second solo album adheres to the same principles of blurred-genre anarchy that informed the first, 2020's "Child Soldier: Creator of God". Sufficiently removed from anything he had done previously, that album bri...June 29, 2022
