The pirate ship that goes by the name of ALESTORM has set sail for new quests in our country! With the first stop in Thessaloniki, it was the turn of Athens the following day (12/07/2022) at Gagarin 205 to drop its anchor. The crowd had started to gather quite early and everyone had at least […]
MESHUGGAH – ZEAL & ARDOR (Royal Albert Hall, London, England – 3/6/2022)
The concert season begins! Metalheads everywhere have the same question every summer: which of the bands we love will we see this year with a beer in hand and the hot sun beating down on us or the rain making us swear at everything that is divine like Scandinavian Black Metalheads! This year the concert […]
Powerwolf, Gloryhammer (Thessaloniki, Greece – 30/11/2019)
There are times that, no matter how experienced you are at concerts, you can still be pleasantly surprised, even from bands that do not match with “your sound”. Well, one of those times, was the first appearance of the German group POWERWOLF in our country, on Saturday 30th of November in Thessaloniki, with special guests […]

Septic Flesh – Modern Primitive
Year: 2022 Total Time: 38:45 Label: Nuclear Blast “Modern Primitive”. The title of SEPTIC FLESH’s new album, encompasses a contradiction which is obvious while listening to it. Metal compositions, symphonic passages and oriental sounds harmonize, yielding a solid, coherent sound result. This is the eleventh album of “Titans”, who are back, proving the maturity and […]
Amon Amarth – The Great Heathen Army
Year: 2022 Total Time: 43.50 Label: Metal Blade Records So, here we are, we have finally reached the 12th album of the Swedish “Vikings” of Melodic Death Metal, AMON AMARTH! A story that started 30 years ago, in 1992 in Stockholm, making this band a growing force in this genre, or for some others in […]
Crematory – Inglorious Darkness
Year: 2022 Total Time: 48:28 Label: Napalm Records Three decades of music for the goth metallers CREMATORY, a band that has released during its long discography few wonderful albums such as “Transmigration”, “Illusions”, “Awake” and “Act Seven”. And, despite the fact that the Germans are hyper-productive, always releasing one album after another in a short […]
Kirk Hammett – Portals (EP)
Year: 2022 Duration: 27.00 Label: Blackened Recordings Many years ago James Hetfield said in an interview that “if a member of the band begins a solo project, it will be as if he reduces the power of METALLICA” explaining (and cutting off any discussion) why there had not been any solo projects from any member […]
Kreator – Hate Über Alles
Year: 2022 Total Time: 46:16 Label: Nuclear Blast Records It’s already been five years since the last studio album of German Thrashers KREATOR, who are particularly beloved by the Greek audience. “God Of Violence”, which was released back then, is probably their most successful album, in commercial terms at least, something that raised the bar […]
Månegarm- Ynglingaättens Öde
Year: 2022 Total Time: 49.18 Label: Napalm Records Although they have been around for more than twenty-seven years, the Swedish band MANEGARM is not a name that is mentioned so often in folk metal, despite the fact that they are a quite good band of its kind in my opinion. With the release of their […]
Manowar – The Revenge Of Odysseus (EP)
Year: 2022 Total Time: 14.17 Label: Magic Circle Entertaiment Starting to talk about this new EP coming from the “Kings of Metal”, I knew from the first moment that it’s not going to be just another MANOWAR release. I realize from the first second I heard it that this is a different venture from MANOWAR’s […]
Mystifier / Lucifer’s Child – Under Satan’s Wrath (Split)
Year: 2022 Total Time: 33:06 Label: Agonia Records This year is offering us a Greek-Brazilian alliance with Greece’s LUCIFER’S CHILD and the Brazilian cult Black Metallers MYSTIFIER. The result of this alliance is the split release entitled “Under Satan’s Wrath”. MYSTIFIER was created in 1989 and has a very respectful name in underground through the […]
Rammstein – Zeit
Year: 2022 Total Time: 44.13 Label: Universal RAMMSTEIN is not just a band, it is an ideology or better a religion with millions of followers, either fanatics (to whom I belong) or ordinary ones. All of them can belong to various genres. From rock, metal to industrial, darkwave but also pop/disco/edm. In general, they have […]
The Troops of Doom – Antichrist Reborn
Year: 2022 Total Time: 47:05 Label: Alma Mater Records Latin America, and more specifically Brazil, has always had and still has a unique relationship with the extreme genres of our beloved music, as it has been a source of some very important and special extreme metal bands. So, gifted with this germ in 2020, THE […]
Varathron/Ungod – Apocalyptic Mysticism (EP)
Year: 2022 Label: Iron Bonehead Productions Total Time: 09:38 As we are patiently waiting for VARATHRON’s next album, the band thought to fill the gap with a small gift, releasing a new compilation split with German Black Metallers UNGOD. There is no need to make a special introduction about VARATHRON so let’s say two things […]
Volbeat – Servant Of The Mind
Year: 2021 Total Time: 61:15 Label: Vertigo/Universal I don’t know if it was the fans’ complaints, the cover of “Don’t Tread On Me” for the “The Metallica Blacklist” or if Michael Poulsen missed playing heavy, but VOLBEAT’s new album is the most Metal (and perhaps the best) they have released in almost 10 years. They […]
Ancient Settlers – Our Last Eclipse
Year: 2022 Total Time: 53.47 Label: Crusader Records ANCIENT SETTLERS was founded in 2020 by Carlos Chiesa-Estomba & Herman Riera (ex-Haboryn), Rene González (ex-Aesthesis), Emmy Reyes (Blackbeer, ex-Gamalyel) and Antony Hämäläinen (Meridian Dawn, ex-Nightrage), a group of musicians with more than fifteen years of experience in the European and American metal circuit. So there is […]
Archgoat – All Christianity Ends (EP)
Year: 2022 Total Time: 17:37 Label: Debemur Morti Productions The Finnish masters of Death/Black Metal ARCHGOAT, have returned with their new EP, which bears the very “polite” title, “All Christianity Ends”. The EP comes just five months after the release of their awesome album, “Worship the Eternal Darkness”. A move that has become a habit […]
Centinex – The Pestilence (EP)
Year: 2022 Total Time: 21:06 Label: Agonia Records Two years after the quite remarkable album “Death in Pieces”, Swedish Death Metallers veterans CENTINEX, return with their new EP “The Pestilence”, which is the connection between the 2020’s album and their upcoming release. The Swedes are a very decent band that since 1992, where they were […]
