Album Of The Week
Album Of The Week – MOB RULES – ‘Rise Of The Ruler’
From the North of Germany come MOB RULES, singing about a dystopian, Mad Max style future. The album is 'Rise Of The Ruler'. It's Melodic Metal done very well. __________
Album Of The Week – WARKINGS – ‘Armageddon’
The latest album from WARKINGS is out now and it's pretty cool. It's full of anthemic Power Metal songs about epic battles and moments in history that you've heard about before. Songs like 'Hangman's Night', 'Kings of Ragnarök', 'Circle Of Witches' and 'Genghis Khan'. You get the picture, right?...
Album Of The Week – KING WITCH – ‘III’
Today is the day. Scotland's KING WITCH have released their third album, creatively titled, 'III', and it is an absolute banger. From the first notes of 'Suffer In Life' to the last of 'Last Great Winderness' it is an epic journey in Metal. __________
Album Of The Week – FRANTIC AMBER – ‘Death Becomes Her’
Okay, so this band of ladies from Sweden rock, and rock very, very hard. They're listed as Melodic Death Metal, but to me they err on the side of way more brutal. WAY MORE. An excellent, punishing album of delightful little ditties based on various female serial killers. __________
Album Of The Week – HIDDEN INTENT – ‘Terrorform’
HIDDEN INTENT launched their latest album, 'Terrorform', upon us at an album launch show last Friday. I 've had a while to listen to it and quite simply, I will label it as the best Aussie Thrash Metal album ever. There, I said it. __________
Album Of The Week – LACUNA COIL – ‘Sleepless Empire’
This is REALLY good. Still has that trademark LACUNA COIL sound but seems a bit more attention grabbing, a bit more in your ear. __________
Album Of The Week – MAJESTICA – ‘Power Train’
As you would expect, the latest MAJESTICA album, 'Power Train', is a banger and should be listened to at the first available opportunity. __________
Album Of The Week – DRAGONKNIGHT – ‘Legions’
DRAGONKNIGHT are a Finnish Power Metal band made up of veterans that have joined forces to create an epic album of hard-driving songs that will satisfy your Power Metal needs. The epic songs just keep coming. The whole band is on point. Horns, and swords, UP. __________
Album Of The Week – THE HALO EFFECT – ‘March Of The Unheard’
After knowing how good the first album was, I was very keen to hear this one before interviewing Niclas a little while back. To say I was impressed is an understatement. __________
Album Of The Week – GRAND MAGUS – ‘Sunraven’
Sweden's GRAND MAGUS are back with a new album, 'Sunraven'. If you're a fan of Classic / Doom Metal you know you are in for a treat from the first notes of the first track, 'Skybound'. These guys have been around for a while, and it shows. __________
