  Hailing from Antwerp, this five track E.P. from Wings Of The Fallen has been out for a while now but I must admit, was one that had slipped under my radar, until now. The first thing that impressed me was the fact that this release is the result solely …

The definitive live performance, captured.   As the band head into the recording studio to begin laying down the tracks for the forthcoming sixth studio album (as yet untitled), this release ( 2DVD/3CD or 2BLU-RAY), may seem a bit of a stop gap affair. Far from it though, as the …

I had a chat with the guys from Kontrust a short while after their set at this years Metal Female Voices Festival. In many ways they were a band who divided a lot of opinion amongst the crowd, a good percentage (myself included) liked them but a percentage also didn’t, …

A superb closing day to an excellent festival.   A slightly later start to the final day meant that a few sore heads could be nursed before heading back to the arena to catch another ten bands rock the crowd. First on stage were L’Endevi(7/10) from Valencia, who despite being …

An amazing day and night of Female Fronted Metal One thing that definitely can not be said about MFVF is that the fans do not get value for money. As the second day beckoned, we had twelve bands and fourteen hours of music to absorb. If you’ve not been to …

Impressive Symphonic Metal debut. Hailing from Hungary, Sorronia have been quietly honing and evolving their sound and style since their formation in late 2011. Now that everything is in place the band have released their debut offering ‘Words Of Silence’. Falling neatly into the Symphonic Metal bracket, Sorronia have come …

Excellent follow up which has class written all over it         The German based six piece return with “Black Is The Colour”, their second album, which follows on from the very well received debut offering “Music Of Light”, which saw release in 2011.   A difficult band …

‘Paradise’ = noun, “a place or condition of great happiness, where everything is exactly as you would like it to be”. A description never more apt.       Continuing their relentless march towards conquering the globe, Within Temptation throw out this four track E.P. ahead of next years highly …

    The Finnish Druid/Folk/Gothic Metal band have been a bit quiet in terms of new material over recent years, this being their first release since the excellent “The Enigma Of Immortals” , which surfaced in 2008. The band return though, with all cylinders firing in the form of “Dark …

Elupia deliver a masterpiece.     Elupia, a four piece band from Japan are possibly one that have slipped under your musical radars before now, so it’s my pleasure to bring them to your attention. As with a lot of contemporary Japanese rock bands the level of technical ability is …

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.. To say I’ve been chomping at the bit to get hold of this album to listen to is an understatement, one of Gothic Metals best loved bands are finally back on the scene with their sixth album …

A sad but fitting end to the Trail Of Tears story.   My love affair with Trail Of Tears began with the release in 2007 of the amazing ‘Existentia’, an album I stumbled upon whilst hunting out new Gothic bands for my collection, they were also one of the main …

‘Tales’ is a Gothic masterpiece, one of the genres best albums of the year so far.   The bands roots lie within the beautiful borders of the Canary Islands, where their earlier recordings were a much more Doom Metal affair. Although  Tears Of Martyr have retained aspects of those earlier …

Japanese Metal is on the up and this band are at the forefront.   The internet can be blamed for a great deal of the worlds evils that’s for sure, however one thing it can be proud of is the not inconsiderable part it has played in opening the ears …
