Metallica's legendary "Master Of Puppets" is without the glimpse of a doubt a record any true metal maniac should sooner or later have in his or her collection. Without questioning the great status of this record, I must though admit that the record has...

On this eponymous record after a eight year long break, Absu are back with a bang and play a quite addicting and original mixture of melodic death and black metal with a lot of thrash influences and some great progressive sounds. This is diversified and...

Theandric is a classic epic heavy metal one man band with lyrics that are normally influenced by the Catholic religion as can be heard on the enjoyable, epic, sacral and diversified harmony filled gem "Adoro Te Devote". Normally, I'm not a fan of white...

I stumbled over this band by pure lucky coincidence. I decided to try out their albums and got stuck on this one which seems to be by far their best one at first sight. "Of Sculptured Ivy And Stone Flowers" offers an epic mixture of doom, gothic and death...

Rwake play a strange mixture of doom metal with some sludge and black metal elements. They call themselves experimental but honestly said the overlong songs are quite redundant. A few atmospheric passages and acoustic parts awake some interest but apart...

Anubis Gate are without a doubt one of the most interesting contemporary progressive power metal bands in the world and as far as I am concerned the best metal export from Denmark. It's a shame that those guys haven't made their breakthrough yet especially...

More than five years have passed since the last official album release of the Russian heavy metal legend and many things have changed since. The band played a high number of concerts in Eastern Europe, they digged in their own past, re-recorded some old...

Fates Warning's first record is a mediocre mixture of heavy metal, power metal and a few smooth progressive metal passages that is actually easy to listen to but not outstanding enough to survive amongst many groundbreaking releases of the same period....

The music of Tony MacAlpine seemed intriguing enough to me to be tried out at least once as I read a few interesting reviews about it recently. I decided to go for "Premonition" for the simple reason that the song titles seemed promising and diversified...

"Rajas" is one of Senmuth's most important and profound albums about philosophy and spiritualism. It seems that especially Hindu and Bouddhism play an important role within this record. The Russian multi-instrumentalist mixes inspiring folk vibes with...
