Ritual Dictates – No Great Loss (Epic Post-Goth Power Metal)
I came upon Ritual Dictates by random chance when their first full-length was released to little fanfare, in fact it was more fanhate, there was little fare to be had. Consisting of two dudes from a slew of bands I don’t care to mention, it seemed sadly an aborted brainchild superpoop from a one […]

Shadowland – The Necromancer’s Castle (Heavy Metal Magazine in Metal Form)
Yay, congrats, Shadowland, you have the only album worth listening to that’s dropping this week. Everything else I think I puked all over. And yay, this is another rare instance where I give a positive review to epic heavy metal. But this one comes with more awesome than I could have ever imagined. Lead […]

Hrom – Legends of Powerheart Part II (Harmony of Harmonies Power Metal)
Hmm it seems I must take a former opinion back, though I think maybe not? I can’t remember much other than the fact that I’ve ripped on power metal for years because few can make it work. The reasons are too varied to consider in full here, but to be brief you’ve got the […]

Glacier – The Passing of Time (The Power Metal Crown Has Passed)
These dudes are so carefree, and it’s such a welcome, chill breath upon the skin. I knew they were chill when I checked out the band photo. Band photos can tell you pretty much 90% about a band and its music. So here we have these dudes just standing there, almost no emotion, against […]

Stonecast – I Earther (I Wanter More Space Metal)
Wow, what do you know, I was ripping on power/melodic and whatever else metal a week or so ago and here we are again. Is this the end? The artwork by Stan Decker would seem to suggest so, but I do have some kind words today, at least for Stonecast, and at least a […]

Black Viper – Hellions of Fire (Woah You Guys Do Power and/or Speed Metal?)
Sheah, we do power metal and/or speed metal on occasion. Got a problem with the gap in reviews? Huh? Deal with it (sunglasses drop), because most of it sucks hard. Too old school and/or not enough modern bite. Unlike thrash, which the majority of us can give a pass to regardless of how old […]

Victorius – Dinosaur Warfare Legend of the Powersaurus (Seriousaurus)
I joked about this one on Facebook when I posted one of the band’s promo photos. Some of you thought it was a meme I created, but it was not. And this critical review, too, is real. Victorius is one of several German bands over the past year that have left me disappointed, but this […]

Vaultwraith – Death is Proof of Satan’s Power (Olde Satan)
I’ve been thinking on this one for several weeks now. As is usual around here, that means something is confusing or unclear. In this case it appears to be neither. I’m fully convinced this is an “on purpose” but yet have no actual proof as the band remains obscure and seems to have no live […]

Aynsophar – Abysmal Secrets of Unknown (Too True)
I’m trying to think how I can best introduce this one without giving attention to the obvious. Okay let me just say it then. Aynsophar is the brainchild of Barbara Teleki, Hungarian-born guitar master and instrumentalist extreme. Yes, that’s right, she’s a woman. I mention this for only one reason. Far too often does one […]

Quick Reviews – October 2017
Alright here we go with another dose of Quick Reviews you scum. Quite a variety here, though I was hard hit by the country of Germany in October for some reason, not sure why. Out of all the stuff that wasn’t as visually pleasing these are the ones that made the cut for a little […]
