Tsjuder – Antiliv
Let me start by saying… holy shit. Antiliv is THE most fierce black metal album to come out this year so far. From sounds…
old school
High Spirits – You Are Here
High Spirits‘ You Are Here is resolutely old-school ’80s hard rock/metal, and if that’s your bag (baby!) it’ll definitely do you. I like the cover…
On Top – Top Heavy
Overall barring the vocals this is a well done album, where fans of this style will find enjoyment. The guitar work is excellent, the vocalist has his moments of greatness, and the songs are catchy enough. This isn’t the best traditional metal release you’ve ever heard, but it does have some worth.
Hirax – Noise, Chaos, War
By Jason Wellwood This is a ‘catchup’ album of sorts for those of us who didn’t pick up the EP’s released in 2001, 2006…
Keep of Kalessin – Reptilian
Wow, what an absolute scorcher of an album this is after the so-so Kolossus release of a few years back
