SOULFLYSavages Nuclear Blast Entertainment (2013)Rating: 7/10 I’m pretty sure that every time Max Cavalera’s Soulfly releases an album, a whole generation of diehard Sepultura fans sigh in disappointment.

US death metal kings Master have been around for many years now, emerging from the underground scene of the early 80s, yet they’ve always remained a cult […]
WARRIONAwakening The Hydra Pure Steel (2013)Rating: 8/10 Pure Steel Records are really upping the ante in their quest for heavy metal domination and Warrion are the latest bunch of headbangers to be signed. Now, if you were impressed with the likes of Texas metallers Aska then you’ll be pleased to know that their vocalist George […]
