Frozen Crown - Call of the North - Album Review

Frozen Crown floated about the outer edges of our recordscape for a few years. And yet, their wares never quite connected with the cranky folks over at the review desk. But I’d like to stress that Frozen Crown‘s earlier records – The Fallen King, Crowned in Frost, and Winterbane – got duly checked out nonetheless.

So, Call of the North came along somewhat at the last minute. And once it hit our music machine over here, we just kinda sat there in a trance. It was one of those rare Holy Metal Cow moments. This record indeed … [...] Click to raid more!

As Light Dies - The Laniakea Architecture, Volume II - Album Cover

The RMR crew had their share of intricate metal pieces to review that strained to make sense. So, one day this early 2023, some RMR hands peacefully rummaged about the moldy lost corners of our review pipe. Just to discover that the Spaniards of As Light Dies brutally struck again.

Seven years ago, at the beginning of our endeavor, Bullethead felt like that Heavy Metal piece we ever lusted after over all these years. Little did we know that much more of such excellent material would be heading our way over the years. So, since their last piece got undue attention, Heavy Metal got forever reaffirmed in a genre that we thought was pretty much dead. Bears the question, will Metal Constructions VII stand the test of time? After all, … [...] Click to raid more!

Arch Enemy - Deceivers - Album Cover

Procrastination. Fueled by your fears of the consequences your actions could have. At least, that’s one of the definitions for this sometimes persistent lack of activity. And what does that have to do with the price of butter on a metal record? Well, read on – we’re getting there. Promised.

The RMR crew started on Arch Enemy with War Eternal. The debut album with Alissa White-Gluz after Angela Gossow left for bigger and better things. This record generated a mighty metal heap of enthusiasm over here. True oomph with a bobcat delivery of a new vocalist with an affinity … [...] Click to raid more!
