Anneke Van Giersbergen, Jaded Star (Gazarte, Athens, Greece – 5/10/2022)
There are some artists or bands that have created a weird and mutual love affair with the greek audience that withstand in the years. I can name a few like SCORPIONS or MADRUGADA. Another example of such artist is Anneke van Giersbergen, who right now is touring throughout Greece (9 different shows in 9 cities). […]
ALESTORM (Gagarin 205 Club, Athens, Greece – 12/7/2022)
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 […]

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 […]

Amorphis – When The Gods Came
AMORPHIS need no special introduction. A few months ago they released their new album, “Halo”, and needless to admit, every audition to this album seems to be a very beneficial one.

Avantasia – A Paranormal Evening With The Moonflower Society
Year: 2022 Total Time: 53.58 Label: Nuclear Blast Tobias Sammet’s AVANTASIA is a group that fits my musical preferences, but I have never had the chance to pay much attention to their music, apart from some occasional encounters with songs from their rich discography. Their ninth album gave me the reason to dig deeper to […]
Cyanide 4 – AmaΛgama
Year: 2022 Total Time: 43.00 Label: Perris Records Some new friends from the greek metal music community gave me the chance to get to know musically (and personally, in some occasions) many professional musicians, who actualize the phrase “he lives off his hobby”. With the term “professional” I do not mean those who make enough […]
Darkthrone – Astral Fortress
Year: 2022 Total Time: 40:00 Label: Peaceville Records DARKTHRONE is one of the few bands of Norwegian Black Metal that has established a conviction among their fans, that every two or three years, at the most, they will be releasing new music. So, the fact that the Norwegians announced that this year, only one year […]
Deathspell Omega – The Long Defeat
Year: 2022 Total Time: 44:11 Label: Norma Evangelicum Diaboli “You will not find the borders of the soul, whatever path you follow, so deep is its essence.” Heraclitus.

Epica – The Alchemy Project (EP)
Year: 2022 Total Time: 53.58 Label: Atomic Fire Records When I first heard that EPICA, the symphonic metal pioneers, are preparing a new EP I was curious to find out what their new songs would be like. They are one of the bands that never cease to amaze me with their experimental nature in vocals, […]
Fear Factory – Recoded (Compilation)
Year: 2022 Total Time: 53.06 Label: Nuclear Blast And now it’s time for FEAR FACTORY to close the Burton era with their first remix album after 25 years! It was preceded by the legendary mcd “Fear Is The Mindkiller” of 1993, where the leading Industrial band of the planet, then and now, the Canadians FRONT […]
Lamb Of God – Omens
Year: 2022 Total Time: 40:59 Label: Epic Records/Nuclear Blast Twenty two years have passed by, since the day LAMB OF GOD introduced themselves to the world, with their debut full length “New American Gospel”. The truth is that the record made no impression and the band had to wait for three more years and the […]
Lorna Shore – Pain Remains
Year: 2022 Duration: 61:01 Label: Century Media Two years after the release of the amazing “Immortal” the US masters of (symphonic) Deathcore are back with their fourth full-length album, “Pain Remains”. Of course, if you are a fan of Deathcore and LORNA SHORE, specifically, you know that the band was far from silent during these […]
Meshuggah – Immutable
Year: 2022 Total Time: 66:00 Label: Atomic Fire Records Six years after the awesome “The Violent Sleep Of Reason”, the Swedish gods MESHUGGAH return with their tenth album “Immutable” to show us once again how to play this game. For those who do not know what MESHUGGAH is, we are talking about one of the […]
Ratos De Porão – Necropolitica
Year: 2022Total Time: 31:32Label: Shinigami Records RATOS DE PORÃO have been around since 1981 and they are one of the key factors in the shaping of the Hardcore Punk sound and, later, of Crossover Thrash Metal. Highly politicized and politically active, they are once again drawing their anger and rage from the current far-right government […]
Sodom – 40 Years At War-The Greatest Hell Of Sodom
Year: 2022Total Time: 01:06:06Label: Steamhammer 2022 is a very important year for one of the biggest Thrash Metal bands of the planet, the German SODOM, as this year marks forty years since they introduced themselves to us with the demo “Witching Metal”. The continuation was extremely impressive and the band managed after seventeen studio albums, […]
Sign Of Death – Revival
Year: 2022 Total Time: 23.20 Label: Self-Financed If there is something that German people excel at in music, it is Thrash Metal. Fast, speedy and powerful Thrash Metal. SIGN OF DEATH from Ladenburg, a relatively new thrash metal band does precisely that. They were formed in 2019, but only last year they took their current […]
Stratovarius – Survive
Year: 2022 Total Time: 58:04 Label: earMUSIC Sixteenth full length album for the pioneers of the Power Metal scene STRATOVARIUS, after the mediocre in my opinion “Eternal” of 2015. Never before have we had to deal with a wait of so many years from the Finns, so holding in my hands the beautiful digipak edition […]
Swallow The Sun – Moonflowers
Year: 2021 Total Time: 52:40 Label: Century Media SWALLOW THE SUN is a death/doom metal band from Jyväskylä, Finland. “Moonflowers” is the eighth full release of the band, which has a twenty-year (and more) course and this proves that they prefer quality over quantity, a fact that is also evident from the band’s refined approach […]
Thyrathen – ThanatOpsis
Year: 2021 Total Time: 1:00:23 Label: Van Records THYRATHEN is the new proposition in the already acclaimed domestic Hellenic Black Metal sound, being the brain child of JACKAL’S TRUTH drummer Corax and KAWIR guitarist AZ with valuable help in the narrations from Stefan Necroabyssious of VARATHRON and Alexander of MACABRE OMEN. From the first […]
