Album Review: WIND ROSE – Trollslayer
For all its epic moments, there are points where Trollslayer feels a bit too familiar. Tracks like "Home of the Twilight" don’t quite rise above the already high bar Windrose sets for themselves.
Album Review: – ARCH ENEMY – Deceivers
This album might as well be called Deceived, because that’s exactly how I feel after listening to it. Better luck next time, Arch Enemy. Let's hope the next release isn't as empty as the black hole at the center of this one.
Album Review: ALESTORM – Seventh Rum of a Seventh Rum
Seventh Rum of a Seventh Rum is not just an album—it’s a nautical assault on your very soul. Alestorm has ascended to new levels of pirate insanity with this release, blending unrelenting metal fury with enough rum-soaked chaos to make Blackbeard himself raise a tankard and scream "YARRRR!"
Album Review: ROYAL HUNT – The Mission
The Mission by Royal Hunt is not just an album; it’s an unhinged rollercoaster ride through the absurdity of life itself. It’s a testament to the power of music to transcend the ordinary and fling you into the extraordinary.
Album Review: BEAST IN BLACK – Dark Connection
Beast in Black has undeniably taken metal to a new, futuristic realm with Dark Connection. It’s a ride full of synth-heavy anthems, bone-shattering riffs, and vocals that could wake the gods. It’s epic, it’s ambitious, and it’s a hell of a lot of fun.
Album Review: RUMAHOY – Time II Party
If Beethoven could rise from his grave and hear Time II: Party, he’d probably throw his own symphonies into the sea and join the crew. The composition on this album is an intricate tapestry of riffs, hooks, and raging sea shanties.
