“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
The days are getting shorter and colder, the leaves are falling from the trees, and today is All Hallow’s Eve – also known as Halloween. Today is usually when kids get dressed up in silly outfits and go around knocking on doors and taking candy. This is...
Everyone’s favourite corpse-makeup band, POWERWOLF, set about re-recording some of their classic songs recently, and are releasing them as a compilation called The Best of the Blessed. The new songs sound – and there’s really no other word for it...
I cottoned on to a New York metal band called VIRGIN STEELE at the beginning of this year, thanks to basically random trawling through YouTube’s metal archives, and I haven’t been able to stop listening to them ever since. Now, these guys have a rather...

So there I was, cocking about on YouTube on a lazy day, listening to various metal songs, when I ended up clicking on this rather odd-looking thumbnail for a song by a band called HEIDEVOLK. The name sounded vaguely familiar… Where had I heard that one...
Longtime reader and friend of the blog Dire Badger had a very good musical recommendation to add to my epic Monday linkage and videos post, in the form of a new musical project called THE HU. Now, as far as I can tell, this is not a pun based on the name of one of the...
I do love me some power metal, but this is a bit too much cheese even for me: This is the inevitable and logical result of unleashing bands like ALESTORM, GLORYHAMMER, and GRAILKNIGHTS. God help us, what have we done?!?! THE WORLD SHALL DROWN IN GLORIOUS EPIC...
I was planning to start this post off with a couple of videos from a really great melodic black metal band – steady, boys, they’re actually very good – called BELZEBUBS. Now, I know this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea; they ARE a bunch of...
I did not expect to wake up this morning and discover that Andre Matos, who was possibly the most famous power metal vocalist in all of Brazil, had died at the age of 47: Former Angra frontman André Matos, who made his start with Viper in 1987, has died at age 47....
I’ve been listening to the latest album by German melodic death metal outfit PARASITE INC. on repeat for a few days now. This band is what IN FLAMES could have been if only they hadn’t… well… done every single thing that they’ve...
