CD review ANNIHILATOR "For the Demented"

(9/10) Jeff Waters and Annihilator are a constant factor in metal since many years. I still can remember the moment when the band's debut blew me away in 1989. The power and the punch that came with "Alice in Hell" was enormous and it's not a big surprise...

CD review SORCERER "The Crowning of the Fire King"

(9/10) In many aspects Sorcerer can‘t be equaled with ‚speed‘. This goes for their music as well as for the band‘s history. The metal Vikings, hailing from Stockholm, started back in the end of the 80‘s with two demos tapes ... and then came silence....

CD review SOULDRINKER "War is Coming"

(8/10) Sometimes it’s interesting what comparisons are mentioned in conjunction with a new release. In this case Pantera and Amon Amarth brought up and I wonder where the idea comes from. Souldrinker has, in my humble opinion, nothing to do with thrash...
