Hi! What inspired the strong focus on criticizing war and violence in “Auf zerfetzten Schwingen”? Hi, first of all, thanks for the interest in our new album. I think it’s much more than just criticizing war and violence in general. That’s an easy thing. Autumnblaze lyrics are often a bit tricky to understand because we try to hide the true meanings behind metaphors and symbols. This time we had the idea to take a look upon war from different perspectives. Over the last few years the world changed dramatically and we didn’t want to stay silent. Both Arisjel and me, we have families and children ..read more

9h ago
Frank Never Dies is an Italian psychedelic rock band. Formed in 2018, they record their first album Behind The Paradox, which was released in 2020. And now the time has come for the sophomore LP named Red Moon Rising. The album’s name, according to the band, was chosen because of red moon’s symbolism. “[…] worshipped or feared symbol: before it, the humanity reveals its most irrational aspect, between madness and adoration,” states the band.  Just like the mysterious and enigmatic atmosphere in this album. Unlike the previous, fully instrumental album, here the voices of guitarist Mirko ..read more

Last year we introduced you to MYTHRAEUM via the EP release, ‘Halls of Mythras.’ The San Diego-based Black Metal band won us over after beating out over 140 other artists vying to win the Wacken Metal Battle, competing at the prestigious German festival and showing so much potential. That potential while hinted to on the EP, is now becoming clearly defined as we present the first single from the group’s forthcoming new full-length. “Skies Torn Asunder” steps up from what was heard previously and further previews the barbarity, yet musical majesty that the quintet possesses sure to please fans ..read more

Interview with VIGIL

19h ago
Hi! What inspired the shift from Onera to Vigil, and how does …And The Void Stared Back album represent this evolution? Onera had run its course. There were some internal issues that made it not viable. At our age we don’t have the patients for conflicts. Justin and I (Craig), wanted to keep something going since we work well together. Onera does however have an unreleased full-length album that we have just never got around to getting out there. It has a guest vocal spot from Anneke van Giersbergen (the Gathering, Devin Townsend, VUUR) on an 18-minute epic song. Maybe someday soon. Can you s ..read more

Review: Ivory Tower “Heavy Rain” [Massacre Records]

I want to start with a little confession: I don’t like progressive metal in its pure form. I mean, I can appreciate playing techniques and sophisticated melodic lines but I personally define this genre as “music for musicians” therefore bands like Voivod or notorious Dream Theater are not in my everyday playlist. However, it’s a different matter when progressive mixed with some other genre like Nevermore, Evergrey and lots of other bands did. Now I can add another name to this list: power/progressive band Ivory Tower with their upcoming album Heavy Rain. I’ve never heard of this band, so let ..read more

Review: Rage “Afterlifelines” [Steamhammer/SPV]

2d ago
This year Rage celebrates the band’s 40 years anniversary. 40 years! Such numbers still impress me, while Judas Priest celebrated 50 years. Also considering an amount of Rage albums, we can only wonder where they get their ideas, the strength and the inspiration for their new records. And one more number: this year the founder, singer and bassist Peter “Peavy” Wagner turns 60! Wow. To celebrate the anniversary, Rage, shrank to trio again (Stefan Weber left the band in 2023) and release their new, 27-th album named Afterlifelines. A double album, I want to emphasize. “The first CD is entitled ..read more

3d ago
The last summer, the Danish death/black metal band Sturmtiger (now based in the United Kingdom) released their second studio album Transcendent Warfare after an almost decade-long hiatus, joining forces with the independent label Demented Omen of Masochism. Although it wasn’t complete silence from them, as they released several splits and demos during these nine years, fans were eagerly anticipating new material with good sound quality, meticulous artwork, and a sense of conceptual integrity. Sturmtiger, named after the German assault gun from the World War II era, by all definitions plays tha ..read more

Review: Devilpriest “In Repugnant Adoration” [Odium Records]
ANTICHRIST Metalzine
by Ilona Adhlactha
3d ago
At the end of 2022, the Polish death/black metal band Devilpriest released their sophomore studio album In Repugnant Adoration in collaboration with the local label Odium Records (now based in London). There was a significant pause from them; for a whole five years nothing was heard from the Devilpriest camp. The band decided to continue their flirtations with Satanism, cloaking it in a ritualistic conceptual canvas akin to a meditative state. So be cautious, if you adhere closely to Devilpriest’s instructions, don’t forget to check for demons before going to sleep. Devilpriest is a four-piece ..read more
