Wolfsbane - Live Fast Die Fast (1989) - How to get a great rock and roll party started - 75% (07/09/11)

Wolfsbane - Live Fast Die Fast (1989) - How to get a great rock and roll party started - 75% (07/09/11)

Fear not, dear metal maniacs, "Live Fast, Die Fast" is not as superficial as its stupid title might suggest. Wolfsbane deliver in fact a quite entertaining and solid record somewhere between AOR, hard rock and heavy metal. The fast and short songs get...

Immanifest - Qliphotic (2010) - Bleakest symphonies on a blast beat battlefield - 85% (05/09/11)

I stumbled over this release by pure coincidence as a good friend of mine introduced me to this project and I decided to give the band's first EP a chance. Immanifest are a band from Tampa, Florida that play atmospheric symphonic black metal with many...

Kvelertak - Kvelertak (2010) - Too many cooks broil the broth - 60% (03/09/11)

Welcome to a new unjustified hype. Somebody told me about this new band from Norway on a forum as he had himself got the advice from somebody else to check this group out. I suggested the guy who introduced me to this band that we should sue his predecessor...

Senmuth - Light, Sound, Sacral Geometry & Energy (2008) - Four intellectual symphonies as keys to energy - 92% (01/09/11)

Senmuth - Light, Sound, Sacral Geometry & Energy (2008) - Four intellectual symphonies as keys to energy - 92% (01/09/11)

As Senmuth's first epic albums with overlong tunes entitled "Evolution: Exodus" was a rather calm, hypnotizing and often honestly said boring record, I didn't expect very much from his new epic output about the harmonious beginnings of the world's beginning....

Edguy - Age Of The Joker (2011) - A sincere letter to Tobias Sammet - 45% (26/08/11)

Dear Tobias Sammet, I would like to introduce myself as a long time fan of your main band Edguy and also someone that has always been very interested about your amazing Avantasia project. For me, you have always been the mastermind of European power metal...

Primal Fear - New Religion (2007) - Perfect compromise between heavy, speed and power - 85% (26/08/11)

Primal Fear - New Religion (2007) - Perfect compromise between heavy, speed and power - 85% (26/08/11)

Primal Fear had never really been able to convince me and to attract me more than any other European power metal band. I always thought that they sounded too much like Judas Priest and had not a quite unique style. Well, when I tried out their album New...

Moonsorrow - Tulimyrsky (2008) - It has its moments but it feels stretched - 78% (25/08/11)

Moonsorrow - Tulimyrsky (2008) - It has its moments but it feels stretched - 78% (25/08/11)

Moonsorrow is one of those bands that were introduced to me as a unique, epic and progressive band that did revolutionary works for the Pagan Metal genre. When I stumbled over their overlong Tulimyrsky EP with this beautiful epic cover artwork I decided...

Moonspell - Wolfheart (1995) - A revolution and a statement - 98% (25/08/11)

Moonspell - Wolfheart (1995) - A revolution and a statement - 98% (25/08/11)

Wolfheart is easily one of my favourite records of all time. It has anything I would expect from a great metal album. It has a lot of diversity. It has an intense and coherent atmosphere. It has interesting lyrics that fit to the concept of the music...

Communic - Waves Of Visual Decay (2006) - More emotional and diversified than the debut - 80% (24/08/11)

Communic - Waves Of Visual Decay (2006) - More emotional and diversified than the debut - 80% (24/08/11)

Communic surely made a big step forward with their second record. Their compositions are more complex, more thought out and more majestic. The band also sounds a lot less than Nevermore as they did on their debut record even if these influences are still...

Rush - Permanent Waves (1980) - A great record to start a great decade with - 80% (24/08/11)

Rush - Permanent Waves (1980) - A great record to start a great decade with - 80% (24/08/11)

Permanent Waves is one of the most accessible and commercial records that Rush ever made and I don't mean that in a negative way. The brilliant opening double pack "The Spirit Of Radio" and "Freewill" are catchy and easy to listen to but contain still...
