Everyone’s favourite “aerobic metal” band, AMARANTHE, is back with a new album. I just started listening to MAXIMALISM, and I have to say, it’s actually quite a bit better (so far- I’m only about four songs in) than its predecessor,...

Did you ever wonder what our favourite metal songs would sound like without all of that lovely distortion that gives really great heavy metal its eardrum-raping sound? No? Oh. Well, then, don’t wonder no longer: Bloody hell. That makes SLAYER sound like...

I had the immense pleasure of going to see SABATON play live the other night as they tour North America in support of their (awesome) new album. Now, if you’ve never been to see a SABATON gig, and you like their music, you need to do yourself the favour of...

Nothing serious to see here- other than some serious headbanging: (That song is catchier than herpes. I’m surprised the CDC hasn’t jumped on the banned-wagon for it yet.) And let’s not forget the girls- I am nothing if not fair-minded,...

SABATON’s latest album is finally out, and it is indeed very damn good. I find it difficult to choose the “best” track off the whole thing, but if I were pressed, I would probably pick the title track: It’s not often that you hear a metal band-...
