Bullet return with all guns blazing for their fourth album. The Swedish Hard Rockers are most definitely back, and back on top form as well, following what many consider the ‘treading water’ release in 2011 of ‘Highway Pirates’ , which although very good, failed to kick on from the brilliant …
Read More »DARKTRIBE – “Mysticeti Victoria”.
Formed in France in 2009 by brothers Anthony and Julien Agnello, this represents the bands full length debut. Stylistically I guess we can put the band under the pretty wide umbrella of Symphonic Power Metal, and indeed the band seems most adept at covering all base points within that particular …

Read More »DREADLINK – “Zero One”
Dreadlink serve up an almighty platter of modern Thrash/Death Metal which may well prove hard for others to match. A perfect blend of growl and clean vocals from Raphael Adamek and stunning, ultra heavy guitar work by Sascha Bruggert and Jannes Carstens-Behrens make this record truly memorable. Tracks such as …
Read More »DISINTEGRATE – “Parasites Of A Shifting Future”
Formed in Northern Holland circa 2005, “Parasites Of A Shifting Future” represents Disintegrates debut album proper, and a bloody good one it is too. 11 tracks of quality, modern Melodic Death Metal that is as unrelenting as it is refreshingly different.

I had to pinch myself earlier when I realised that these guys have been around since’99, seems like no time ago that they burst on the scene with “All Eternity”, an album I still give a whirl to now and again. However, following the equally as good “Wounds Wide Open” …
Read More »THE ORDER – “1986” cd review.
Without wanting to give my exact age away, I remember 1986 very well, admittedly a large section of it was viewed through a drunken haze but I remember it nevertheless. A time when mobile phones came with a free wheelbarrow to carry the battery pack in, Ford Capri’s ruled the …
Read More »DANIELE LIVERANI – “Eleven Mysteries” cd review.
Italy’s Daniele Liverani delivers an absolute belter of a solo record, with guitar work of the highest order.
