Metal Reviews

Album review: If you are a fan of any of the past albums, you'll love extreme Metal album Let There Be Witchery.It's another classic dose of Midnight by Ahtenar.@midnightviolators @metalbladerecords

Sabaton, The War To End All Wars. Swedish power Metallers Sabaton have carved out a unique niche for themselves in their twenty-year career.The War To End All Wars is another confident, classy slice of Power Metal.@sabatonofficial @nuclearblastrecords

Death Metal Album Review. Cryptworm release Spewing Mephitic Putridity, the debut full-length from the gore encrusted Death Metal duo.This thirty-three-minute festering offering is some of the dirtiest Death Metal you will hear.#cryptworm @extremelyrottenprod @pulverised @mesacounojo

Tears For Fears. The Tipping Point is an album that was over 17 years in the making and is just a glorious slice of musicality.Tears For Fears most certainly are not a Metal band, but The Tipping Point is a wonderful slice of melancholic prog/pop. @tearsforfearsmusic

Dwell In The Fog from the Swedish trio Firebreather, for me, absolutely hits the spot.A wonderful release to immerse and lose yourself completely, its an absolute must-have for Stoner/Doom Metal fans.@firebreathergbg @easyriderrecord

Not many modern rock bands have managed to gather a fanbase while fearlessly blending genres and even languages as Esprit D'Air have. In a time when too many bands are content producing background music, Oceans is something to celebrate and admire. @espritdairofficial @kahmel_farahani

Jizzy Pearl's Love/Hate raise their distinctive style again with the release of Hell, CA, with Golden Robot Records on 11 March 2022. With the Sunset Strip '80s debauchery a very distant memory, Pearl is flying the flag in some style. @jizzypearlofficial @goldenrobotrecords

Album Review: For over two decades, Sweden's Cult Of Luna have delivered an increasingly ambitious sound. The Long Road North is huge and filled with emotion. @cultofluna @metalbladerecords

Annihilator, legends of Thrash Metal from Canada, release Metal II on 18 February 2022. The overhaul of Metal, shows this is an album worthy of revisiting. @annihilatormetal @earmusic

Slash ft Myles Kennedy - 4 is a sonic benchmark for modern rock music. As an example of hard rock music recorded, played, produced and mixed to absolute perfection, 4 is going to take some beating. @Slash @officialmyleskennedy @kahmel_farahani

Rise Up (Live From Daisyland) is the first of four live tracks released from The Dead Daisies. The song was recorded at Rock City, Nottingham, on their recent tour. @thedeaddaisies @douglasaldrichguitar @glennhughesonline Photo: @rock_pixs

Beth Hart – A Tribute To Led Zeppelin is released 25 February 2022. There is arguably no finer singer around today to put her own soul into this selection. @officialbethhart @mascotlabelgroup @pmonkhouse1

Album Review: Doubtful that you'll hear a more seductive and heartfelt album than Nectar by Silent Skies all year. Tom S. Englund and Vikram Shankar work their magic on ten tracks that are breath-taking in their beauty.

Faster Pussycat may not have got to ride the commercially lucrative wave. But there was no doubting their credentials, attitude and most importantly, the songs. @fasterp_ssycat @brian_boyle_72

REVIEW: Carpe Diem shows that Saxon are at the top of their game with no intention of surrendering after all these years. Heavy Metal Thunder at its finest. @saxon.official @pmonkhouse1 @silver.lining.music

Arguably the biggest cult band in the UK, Hawkwind are both one of the most quintessentially English acts, but also the most underrated. Read the review of Dust Of Time. @_hawkwindoficial_ #Hawkwind

Entering their 55th year in existence, Jethro Tull are an evergreen presence in British rock music. New album The Zealot Gene is pure Tull brilliance. @jethrotull_

Arjen Lucassen's Star One to release Revel In Time. There really is so much to get to know and appreciate. If you love Arjen's work, Revel In Time will really hit the spot for you. @ayreon_official @floor_jansen_official @marcelabovio @cuijpersjohn
