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. __________
Album Of The Week – OCTOPLOID – ‘Beyond The Aeons’

Album Of The Week – THE ETERNAL – ‘Skinwalker’
THE ETERNAL's latest album is 'Skinwalker'. It's an hour long soundscape into a dark metal world. Sure, watch the music videos, but do yourself a favour and sit yourself down and listen to the whole album. You WILL be rewarded. __________

Sweden's WORMWOOD, purveyors of fine Melodic Black Metal have done it again. Their latest release, 'The Star' is 47 minutes of melancholic metal that'll take you places. All killer, no filler. __________

UNLEASH THE ARCHERS don't muck around. The new album is 'Phantoma'. They have upped the game from the previous album , 'Abyss' and decided to smash us and also present a few new cards in the deck. __________
Album Of The Week – RIOT V – ‘Mean Streets’
The latest RIOT V album, 'Mean Streets', is an absolute belter. Rhythm section is rock-solid, guitar work is top notch and the vocals are crazy, with the effortless power of Todd Michael Hall. Check this puppy out. __________
Album Of The Week – ACCEPT – ‘Humanoid’
ACCEPT are back with 'Humanoid', an album full of songs that flow along nicely with the sing-along-while-punching-the-air choruses we've come to know and love. Guitar work is excellent and tastefully executed, with a bit of wah-wah, as you would expect. There's something here for all fans of Traditional Metal. __________
