Kamelot‘s 2023 piece The Awakening already gave us that notion of a much refined piece of metal, produced with nary a hair out of bounds. Tidbits of metal music that this crew already heard somewhere before, revamped, and served with gusto. Kinda, sorta what The Awakening‘s predecessor already had in store. Back in time, a sort of an infinity mirror on its journey to nowhere. This syncs with the progression of Magick Metal Sorceresses or something on Kamelot‘s covers in various poses. All of them are pieces of fine art, but none of them rocked this crew … [...] Click to raid more!

Last time it was Atlantis with Poseidon and his mighty trident in a rare lather. Quite the Power Metal piece set in some ancient fairy land, and with benefits. But now, the universe has undergone a sea change or something. Because – suddenly – KingCrown boasts of Moonfall. A catastrophe in the making with our trusty companion on a direct collision course? Looks like it.

So, no starships and galactic battles. Instead, we get some rapture of sorts, Power Metal style. Well, why not. It’s seething hot right now, so we might as well add some moon mushrooms to … [...] Click to raid more!

Over the past years, the band inevitably landed in our review pipe whenever the crew here picked up one of their concoctions. And it always was that Power and Heavy Metal mix that drew us to them.

And – the crew’s unsure if you noticed – there’s some (sturdy) progression going on in their storyline. They went from a blood-drenched victory, over a kingdom in mucho … [...] Click to raid more!

Mystfall - Embers of a Dying World - Album Cover

Greece’s Mystfall must have sailed straight past our outpost a few years ago. Their debut album, Celestial Vision, just didn’t register. But then, 2023 was a busy year, and the RMR crew is thus excused.

But now it’s time for some Symphonic and Power Metal fun of times long past. Yep, that genre again, one that’s hopelessly overcrowded with a felt 99% of wannabes and 1% of real stars of this very special slice of the metal multiverse.

I mean, we all still remember when this movement really took off in the early ’00s with the likes of Epica… [...] Click to raid more!
