Adversus - Winter, so unsagbar Winter (2002) - A piece of art you have never seen before - 96% (01/06/11)

Adverus is a band that doesn't sound like anything else. Their sound is very intellectual, diversified and sometimes almost schizophrenic. The band is mostly influenced by the Gothic genre with its dark and emotional lyrics, its harmonic male vocals,...

Marienbad - Werk 1 - Nachtfall (2011) - Dark tales in a unique and heavy radicalism - 85% (31/05/11)

Marienbad is an epic project about the small city in the western part of the Czech Republic and an ancient region of Germany of a similar but not exactly the same name as the band. The city has been flooded in 1961 for the creation of a storage and this...

Turisas - Battle Metal (2004) - A Finnish party mixture - 73% (25/05/11)

Turisas - Battle Metal (2004) - A Finnish party mixture - 73% (25/05/11)

The first full length record of Turisas is a truly epic soundtrack for any Viking battle with a lot of sound effects, bombastic orchestra passages, and some folk influences. The band sounds like a mixture of "Ensiferum" and "Korpiklaani" with the overambitious...

Edguy - Kingdom Of Madness (1997) - A forgotten masterpiece - 91% (24/05/11)

Edguy had already reached a standout quality at such a low age with their major label debut album which is "Kingdom of Madness" and this brilliant album justifies the band's rise to fame. The songs are surprisingly complex, professional and diversified....

HammerFall - Infected (2011) - HammerFail - 15% (23/05/11)

One more crime... What can be worse than faceless and repetitive power metal boredom as the band presented us on their last release "No Sacrifice, No Victory"? This album brings you the answer: faceless and directionless boredom. HammerFail had released...

Turisas - The Varangian Way (2007) - The soundtrack for horror castles and dark rides - 75% (17/05/11)

Turisas - The Varangian Way (2007) - The soundtrack for horror castles and dark rides - 75% (17/05/11)

Turisas' second strike is a lot more diversified and epic than the first record and slowly drifts away from the band's folk roots that become only one element amongst many others. The best folk passage is in the beginning of the fast and joyful "In the...

Eluveitie - Everything Remains As It Never Was (2010) - Quantity defeats quality on this compilation album - 59% (16/05/11)

Eluveitie - Everything Remains As It Never Was (2010) - Quantity defeats quality on this compilation album - 59% (16/05/11)

After the weak and unnecessary acoustic album "The Arcane Dominion", I was hopeful that Eluveitie would go back to the basics and create and album in the style of the very good "Slania". But instead of returning to the perfect mixture of melodic death...
