Steel Druhm grew up a long time ago in a galaxy loaded with hardcopy music and big, colorful artwork. Like any old timer, he hates changes and uses this blog to shake his cane at the digital frontier. Now get off his lawn!!

Seremonia – Seremonia Review
More Finnish music you never heard of? Yep, and this time it’s vest metal! Seremonia brings you some doom rockin, acid ingesting, 60s influenced rock with creepy female vox and Finnish lyrics. If that patches your denim, then read on, flower child!
Khors – Wisdom of Centuries Review
Steel Druhm is a big fan of Khors (the band, not the watery, unbeer-like beer) and their melodic black metal. He’s especially taken with their Return to Abandoned opus. Find out how the new album stacks up and if he’ll need a stronger brew to wash it down.
Cryptopsy – Cryptopsy Review
Alex is here with a review of the new Cryptopsy that poses many existential questions we here at AMG are simply not qualified to answer. Is it death metal? Is it a sell out? Why are we here? Humbug!
Hexvessel – No Holier Temple Review
Explaining a group that calls themselves “Finnish psychedelic forest folk” is about as easy as completing the final course on Ninja Warrior whilst drunk on moonshine, but Steel Druhm gives it a go anyway. Assemble the trauma team!!
Steel Druhm Comments: On the Trials, Tribulations and Temptations of the Metal Music Reviewer
Steel Druhm takes you behind the curtain (despite the restraining order) and gives a rare glimpse into the glamorous world of unpaid blog writing. Be afraid.
Threshold – March of Progress Review
Threshold is the 800 lb. gorilla of prog-power and after a five year hiatus, they’re back to kick Steel Druhm’s ass, smash cars and eat tons of ape cake.
Grave Digger – Clash of the Gods Review
Year after year I’ve waited for Grave Digger to recapture the power and glory of the Rheingold era. Finally, they’ve stopped digging a trench of mediocrity and delivered the Rheingoods!!
Ex Deo – Caligvla Review
Ex Deo’s Roman death metal makes a triumphant return and they brought that super-sick Caligula character with them. You just KNOW that guy can party!
Grave – Endless Procession of Souls Review
Retro-thrash, retro-death, will the present ever stop being the past?? Well, at least it’s Grave doing what Grave does, so I shant complain. Nasty, slimy death from Sweden can always crash on my couch (after I put down some plastic).
