SWEET & LYNCHHeart & Sacrifice Frontiers (2023)Rating: 8.5/10 Heart & Sacrifice heralds the return of the mercurial tag team of guitar god George Lynch (ex-Dokken / Lynch Mob / KXM) and Michael Sweet (Stryper) and as expected it’s another corker of an opus. This is the third full-length release from the talented duo and it […]
SHADOWSOut For Blood Sentient Ruin Laboratories (2023)Rating: 8/10 What a great little 80s throwback album this is. Shadows are a Chilean act that meticulously puts together numerous ingredients to create an atmospheric and authentic sounding album that has all the darkness and fiery aesthetics one would expect from 1986. Out For Blood smirks with a […]

GALLOWS RITESWitchcraft And Necro Desecration EP Helldprod / Sacrifice (2023)Rating: 7/10 Now is the time to get savaged by some Portuguese black thrash. Gallows Rites formed three years ago in 2020 and this five-song EP is their debut offering; a nasty spiky affair blessed with speedy yet well oiled axe work and a sneering vocal […]
ROADWOLFMidnight Lightning Napalm (2023)Rating: 9/10 I don’t seem to stumble across many Austrian metal bands so it’s nice to experience the second full-length album from Roadwolf. These dudes began life over a decade ago so it’s rather surprising that their debut album, Unchain The Wolf, didn’t emerge until 2021. What you get here is a […]
DARKLONThe Redeemer No Remorse (2023)Rating: 8/10 Greece has produced some fantastic heavy metal bands over the last few years and Athens-based combo Darklon is another outfit you can add to the list. The Redeemer is the second full-length outing from the guys and it will appeal to anyone who has a taste for heavy metal […]
FROZEN SOULGlacial Domination Century Media (2023)Rating: 8/10 I find it slightly odd that Trivium’s Matt Heafy should be drafted in to help produce this eagerly awaited sophomore outing from frosty death metal brigade Frozen Soul. The Texas band’s 2021 debut full-length outing Crypt Of Ice, even with its Bolt Thrower influences, was an impressive tome, […]
