"The album comes across as "childishly naive," because it speaks to you with virginally sincere enthusiasm, even though experience and mileage stand behind it. That very fact makes it clear that with this record Blues Pills have grown one…

"No two ways about it. Once again, this is the real Paradise Lost album: it sends sacral shivers down your spine and spins a demonically alluring magnetism with a touch of the kiss of death, in which the soul of frozen hopelessness…

"Evolution stopped a long time ago, but the formula is one of a kind, and these seasoned old foxes know exactly how to crank out a fresh batch of true-metal marches that will keep power metal fans under the spell of that primal German…

»On "Titans Of Creation" you'll look in vain for anything you haven't already heard from Testament, or for anything especially fresh, since it sounds very much like its predecessors "Brotherhood of the Snake" and "Dark Roots Of Earth". At…

As I Lay Dying are back with Shaped By Fire, and they came back in style. The rich production, with its powerful sound, only backs that up. It's an album made for the fans, no doubt. Whether AILD can keep up this quality going forward, only…

Older fans won't be interested in this album in the slightest. But then, In Flames aren't a young band anymore that has to pay the bills by playing small halls. Despite all the criticism, In Flames somehow hung on. It more than obviously…

With Quadra, Sepultura have proven once again that they're far from done. Quadra surprises with its punch, its variety and even its pomp. Definitely another album that will win Sepultura plenty of new fans.

"The new Nightwish album is a hugely ambitious piece of work, and it cements the shift in style and sound already noticeable on the band's last two records. As such, it's going to split their fanbase even further."

" The solo debut from Nightwish bassist Marko Hietala is, loosely speaking, an art rock album! It can even (conditionally) carry the prog label, and as some might wrongly expect, it's nowhere near a metal record. It's an outstanding…

"The third witches' gathering, dancing with the Devil!"

"Album "#13“ is a fresh, fascinating dive into classic hard rock, Gotthard-recipe style, which the band can't and won't deny. "

"Victor Smolski, whom we've always remembered in the best possible light, delivers a new top-shelf power metal read with the Almanac album "Rush Of Death". It's the hardest Almanac album yet, and in energy it sits close to the Rage-era…

"The album's pile-up of radio hits (from the golden age of AOR) is once again seriously huge, just like the outrageous bombastic hunger The Night Flight Orchestra keep cultivating, "Aeromantic" included."

"Michael Schenker crossbred with his "Flyin' V" electric guitar! Literally. The symbolic "fusion" of the iconic guitarist with his axe lives on with the new Michael Schenker Fest album, another artistic bloom and renaissance"

“I Loved You At Your Darkest” is without a doubt a record that newer fans will see as a career peak, but older fans will probably find it no better than average.

"While in every way a worthy successor to the last four Overkill albums, “The Wings Of War” isn't among the hardest, sonically sharpest and most possessed Overkill releases that remain burned into the minds of the band's longtime devotees.…

"All in all, the mission is more or less accomplished. Sammet sounds fresh again on the project's new release, even if it still holds a few things back."

"In many ways it's an even more aggressive and faster version of its excellent predecessor "Dark Roots of Earth", packed with some seriously fun surprises, and it keeps its pissed-off, totally vampiric nature from start to finish, so it's…

"Dark Roots of the Earth is without a doubt one of the strongest contenders for album of the year, and there's no way anything thrash-wise is topping this beast this year. Forget the Big Four (Dave Mustaine can go cry in Lars Ulrich's lap),…
