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!!
Steel Druhm
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).
Bedemon – Symphony of Shadows Review
Are you wearing a vest? Well, since Steel Druhm feels like he’s found the Holy Grail of doom metal, you best get to the tailor and get fitted for an old timey one. Actually, better make it two because this is big!!
Emerald – Unleashed Review
We haven’t done power metal in a few weeks, so here’s some from Switzerland, home of the mighty Krokus. SHUT UP, they are MIGHTY!!
Deadly Remains – Severing Humanity Review
More tech-death you say? Maybe that’s the new re-thrash! Hmm, what kind of tank does one drive to support tech-death? It better be something brootal!
Necrovation – Necrovation Review
Not your dad’s Swedish death! This has enough odd ideas and influences to make you sit up and spit out your beer (or a nice white zinfandel if you prefer).
Testament – Dark Roots of Earth Review
Testament is back with a big thrash album that may or may not be based on Gears of War. Only the most high-end skull tanks will do for this event!
Korpiklaani – Manala Review
The fiddles, the flutes, the thrash-polka: what more could you meade?
Heretic – A Time of Crisis Review
From the depths of metal obscurity, old schoolers Heretic stop by to say hi before vanishing into eternal oblivion with this lackluster effort.
