It happened at last. Helloween‘s newest concoction, Giants & Monsters, successfully made it onto our review pipe after all those years. The grandads of the Metal o’ The Light finally obtained lamestream n00b status over at the RMR Review Desk. Meaning, despite their verified existence since 1983 and their undisputed influence on the shaping of Ze Art ov Power Metal in general, the band never officially landed a review over at the office tower. The culprit holding us back usually was those slippery, pinkish, sugar-laden surfaces slathered in molten cheese that got in the way. But things changed, and

Fer de Lance - Fires on the Mountainside - Album Cover

Colossus whet our appetite. This was Fer de Lance‘s first entry ticket into the World o’ Metal. The RMR crew wasn’t mightily impressed but intrigued enough to let this one roar.

No doubt the creatures on Trick or Treat‘s newest album cover look kinda worried and mighty lost.

Or, perhaps, it’s some sort of omen of what’s to come here. Because the RMR crew did a lot of headscratching on where these Italians are taking their newest concoction. After all, the band’s last record, Creepy Symphonies, kinda landed on our better side … [...] Click to raid more!

It looks like they learned something from Fleshgod Apocalypse. Placing your classically trained female fighter up front and straight into action pays, doesn’t it? It led to great things for the aforementioned band on this zine. But how did Aexylium fare with their newest piece Myth of Mankind?

This band appeared on our list of reviews since it hit the metal road with Tales from this Land, after all. If anything, they’ve grown in metal power and coherence ever since. So, what’s it going to be this time? Ancient myths or a metallic history lesson. Let’s see
