Should we let you in on a dark secret? DarkTribe‘s last record, Voici L’Homme, never quite synced with us. Apart from the pretty snazzy title track, the piece was a true struggle to review. Meaning, well-elaborated but always kinda bland in nature, the record was always one small step away from generating a rant. Which, in all honesty, it did not deserve.

Fast forward to 2025, and Forgotten Reveries just made it onto our review pipe. First listens revealed the typical DarkTribe sound yet again. Soaring Power Metal roaring in on the mother of all smooth productions with … [...] Click to raid more!

Elettra Storm - Evertale - Album Cover

After all that galivanting about old records and esoteric undercurrents, it’s time to speed our metal up once more. Power Metal is on the menu, and it’s the Italian kind that took our fancy this time. And methinks they make them en masse over there, furnished ready to go with some built-in stereotypes already blearing. Fast, furious, but also easily recognizable.

Elettra Storm is the band’s name, and their 2024 record, Powerlords, must have sailed right past our review pipe. The act seems to be in a rush, too. They came into being in 2023, and already Evertale, … [...] Click to raid more!

Sabaton - Legends - Album Cover

Hehe. The n00b machine has regurgitated a new candidate. Yet another established band that somehow never appeared on this zine. Sabaton is its name, and war-like tall tales are its game. They’ve been around for a long while and have been active at the outer fringes of the RMR aural perception. Same as their Viking brethren of Amon Amarth, these guys till the blood-soaked fields of conflict and merciless conquest. Only that Sabaton here are navigating modern waters more often than not. Whereas the latter praise the ferocious forces of the Norse. Y’know, the ones that endlessly ravaged … [...] Click to raid more!

Terra Atlantica - Oceans - Album Cover

The album cover talked to us first. Poseidon, are you calling again? Late in 2024, we had you on a banger of a record. Full trident power on stark display. So, here the Olympian Gawd ov The Sea (and other mischief) reemerges from the North Sea. Or something.

Terra Atlantica are on the prowl again. To our chagrin, steampunk seems to be out the door, and Oceans are their theme with a penchant for pirate lore. A fact we kinda guessed when looking at the cover.

But with moving things into the Pirate Metal realm comes big responsibility. Legion … [...] Click to raid more!
