With apologies to German purists, and seeing as how symphonic metal band XANDRIA just got rid of their third singer, I figured it might be time to indulge in a little more than the usual dose of extremely nerdy classically inspired symphonic metal. I’m not...

I came across a new band today called BROTHERS OF METAL, who sound… well, pretty damn interesting. Imagine taking the death metal growling and Viking imagery found in the work of AMON AMARTH, the power and melody of TYR, the folk-metal groove of FINNTROLL or...
