RockmusicRaider Review - Marauder - Bullethead - Album Cover

Screamy vocals, lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass, drums – zero keyboards. At least not much of it. Well, this would usually be the recipe to make Heavy Metal. Right?

And truly so, the Greek band Marauder graces us with their 6th full-length studio album Bullethead carved out of a block of solid, steely metal.

Marauder seem to be mainly known in the Greek metal community after all these years of existence. There are also some other marauders, Merauders, and what have you in existence in other locations. Which again does not help things.

So, slaving away in relative obscurity, they … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider Review - IV: Stigmata - Album Cover

RockmusisRaider seems to be on the Power Metal train these days. It always amazes me that Cyprus seems to have this ability to churn out metal bands that keep on getting on my radar.

Arrayan Path is one of them and with their 2013 and 4th full-length record IV: Stigmata, they created another metal-laden delight that should for sure retain your attention. 

I just did a review on Unleash The Archers, which pissed me off to no end. Reason being that these guys endlessly rehash the same already badly executed concept. And they won’t realize that it does not [...] Click to raid more!

Unleash The Archers - Time Stands Still - Album Cover

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!
