During the latest visit to Belgrade Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian) and Jon (Iced Earth) have filed the first video for the forthcoming third record of Demons and Wizards. So, I took the chance and had one nice chat with Hansi mostly about non-musical topics. So, if you would like to learn what Hansi thinks about…
Smoulder’s debut album “Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring” is one of the most promising debut offerings from any band in 2019. The band comes from Canada and they have variation of different traditional HM style well-crafted in their own musical structure. And since we are taking any chance to present some old school…
We are proud to present you one more band Protector (Germany) on Metal Sound pages. Of course, as always expect some traditional heavy metal stuff. And although Protector are veterans they still have very aggressive sound and devoted style! Although that protector is one veteran band please could you get us some info about the…
Here we have the second full length of Deutsch speed metal lunatics Vulture entitled Ghastly Waves & Battered Graves, and I must say at the very beginning that I am happy to see this band on Metal Blade who picked up this hot name to give them recognition they rightfully deserve. Vulture is relatively new…
Maudling brothers have returned with a brand new band, after the long-time pause with from latest Bal-Sagoth full-length. Those who have already followed the path of Bal-Sagoth are quite aware of the idea and existence of such a band and project already for soem years. So, here we are 13 years after the final Bal-Sagoth’s…
German based black metallers Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult are finally back with their brand new effort more or less after six years of waiting. Now we have the opportunity, for the very first time, to have one interview with them and to learn more about DNS activities during their past existence… After 6 years of pause…
If you ever wondered how the next studio album of mighty Bal-Sagoth could sound I guess that Kull is the answer. Well, the debut album from bothers Maudling (who stands actually behind the music of Bal-Sagoth) actually sounds like the second part of ”The Chthonic Chronicles”. Furthermore, some songs like ”A Summoning of War” really…
The last few years have been a really good time to be a Fates Warning fan. Not only the band itself is on the creative upswing, culminating with their best album in years entitled Theories of Flight, but they have also resurrected the legendary John Arch to celebrate live their immortal album Awaken the Guardian.…
I have to admit at the very beginning that this will be one very hard review to write. Why? Because I fucking worship Possessed, that is why! Their debut album Seven Churches was one of my very first extreme metal records back in the day, the one that started it all for me along with…
After the great “Pumpkins United” tour with Helloween, Kai Hansen in 2019 takes time for a few selected GAMMA RAY shows. We are delighted to have won the German metal legend as one of the headliners for our festival. Along with the 2015 addition of beaten second-singer Frank Beck will release her first concert in Germany since…
Well, I just recently (like a few weeks ago) have noticed this newcomer band, Witchlords, a group that arrives from Belgium. Witchlords has just released their debut offering –Demons in the Dark” and I think its already one of the most impressive and original works in 2019. Their music owns traditional heavy metal elements, but also…
Let’s get one thing straight from the gate: Norwegian pagan metallers Helheim are one of my favorite names to bring up when the discussions ‘’the most underrated bands in metal’’ arose, and rightfully so. Pushing the boundaries of Viking black metal for almost three decades, yet Enslaved got far bigger accolades for doing the similar…
