Album Of The Week
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. __________
Album Of The Week – FLOTSAM AND JETSAM – ‘I Am The Weapon’
FLOTSAM AND JETSAM have GOT IT GOING ON. This album kicks serious butt. You need to hear this album. You need to crank this sucker up loud. You need to not give a damn about offending anyone. You will be doing a public service. __________
Album Of The Week – TIMELESS FAIRYTALE – ‘A Story To Tell’
I've been waiting for this album's release so I can sing it's praises. This takes me back to the classic mid-to-late 80s. The songs are energetic and well paced, the vocals are great and understandable, the guitar work is on-point. __________
Album Of The Week – ELLENDE – ‘Todbringerin’
This is probably the most diverse Black Metal album I have ever heard. Not so fast blackness, screamed vocals, intertwined with haunting piano and acoustic passages that belies the blackness of most of the rest of the album. It is a trip. It is a trip you should take....
Album Of The Week – NECHT – ‘The Prophecy Of Kamifor’
Okay, so this is full-on. NECHT are an Epic Black Metal band from Canada. Their album, 'The Prophecy Of Kamifor' is an excursion into a dark world by being pummelled repeatedly by epic tracks, all done with good sound quality, by the way. __________
