Talk about boundless energy. I am listening to the 2015 3rd studio album Time Stands Still of Unleash the Archers. And holy shit, these guys take off like a fucking rocket on steroids. Only this is one of those hate/love affairs all over again.

Something is rotten in this record that has received mostly positives to date. When frankly, it is not all infinitive bliss. Yeah, you heard that one right: It is technically flawless, but looking at it as the sum of all parts? Not so sure.

Unleash The Archers perform a brand of Power and Speed Metal that is for sure not … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider Review - Wilderung - Sleep at the Edge of the World - Album Cover

Sleep at the Edge of the World of the Progressive Folk Metal band Wilderun is another one of these gems that – I am unhappy to say – somehow did not get on the RockmusicRaider review list in 2015.

And it is a disturbing piece of work.

You start listening and you cannot stop. This particular stretch of tune must be bewitched. Not that it is overly melodious. Well, no, it actually is. But then it isn’t – disturbingly isn’t. 

Have I confused you yet?

Wilderun‘s devilishly complex and self-released sophomore album Sleep at the Edge of the World will do that to you. It … [...] Click to raid more!

Never judge anything by its looks! I tell ya. Don’t. The garish album art of the newest Gloryhammer album Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards with its purple pinkish hue and green Lego monster just got my teeth hurting in a heartbeat.

And it is a good example of why not. 

Gloryhammer present you with insanely catchy lines, melodies that will stick to you like honey in your hair, presenting their parodical metal cheese with enthusiasm and energy that will wither away the mighty egos of other bands to nothing. By Loki!

In short, Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards will … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider Review - Sideburn - Evil or Divine - Album Cover

RockmusicRaider is having Swedish Rock and Metal week. We just finished a newsflash on Endbite. And now we’re ready to hit the folks from Sideburn and their 2015 album Evil or Divine. Not to be confused with the Swiss Metal band of the same name, by the way.

Sideburn are part of a very significant rock and metal community active in the land of stellar blond chicks, even better breakfast, ever-behaving citizens, and stringent speed controls.

Not so? Damn! In fact, the neat surface of this country hides this pretty exciting underground culture. Some big names, too: Draconian, … [...] Click to raid more!
