Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler has revealed he and his bandmates were stunned by the success of their 1979 album, Heaven and Hell, despite its length and the shift in songwriting dynamics with Ronnie James Dio.
Battle Beast
Steelbound delivers a predictably potent dose of power metal, though some familiar tropes threaten to blunt its considerable force.
HAMMER KING
'Make Metal Royal Again' isn't just an album; it's a coronation. Hammer King have forged a monument to power metal, and it resonates with glorious force.
Fan-filmed footage captures Judas Priest’s full 17-song Warsaw set, including returning classics and a formidable closing run.
TAILGUNNER
A committed but ultimately unremarkable effort from Tailgunner, delivering flashes of promise without ever fully catching fire.
Bloodbound
A valiant, if somewhat predictable, quest through power metal tropes – Bloodbound’s 'Field of Swords' delivers heroic bombast but lacks true innovatio
Evergrey
Evergrey return with a masterclass in progressive metal, weaving intricate melodies and crushing riffs into an unforgettable tapestry.
Guitar icon Tom Morello is back with a new solo album, 'Everyone Gets Everything They Want,' arriving September 25.
Dynazty
A valiant effort, but 'Game of Faces' feels like a band treading water rather than forging ahead.
Avantasia
A sprawling, theatrical odyssey, *Here Be Dragons* offers moments of genuine grandeur but ultimately feels like a retread of well-worn fantasy tropes.
Following the release of "Ashen World", KAMELOT have unveiled a second single, “Godlike Alchemy”, from their upcoming album ‘Dark Asylum’.
The HU
A valiant, if somewhat predictable, second act for Mongolian folk metal titans The HU.
