Accept is on a roll lately, and here’s guitarist Herman Frank’s second solo outing. Not only is it Acceptable, it’s also pretty ballsy (to the wallsy).
Chaosweaver – Enter the Realm of the Doppelgänger Review
Another Finnish band worth hearing? Now they’re just getting greedy!
Record(s) o’ the Month – June 2012
Last month I debuted a new Record o’ the Month format, and I thought it was pretty good. With a bit of input from the folks here who review at Angry Metal Guy, we were able to put together a good list of shit that was competing for the top position. While June is not as strong, there were still three records that tied for score and I, Angry Metal Guy, decided that a shared throne was necessary. So here it is, your Records o’ the Month!
Kråke – Conquering Death Review
Kråke have chosen to play with the big boys by entering the symphonic black metal arena. Unfortunately, the big leagues are maybe a tad too hard for ’em.
Burning Point – The Ignitor Review
Easy breezy power metal with enough testosterone to lift serious Finnish I-ruhn.
90s Metal Weirdness: Fight – War Of Words
Cast your minds back to a time when metal music was not cool. Nay, indeed, a time when metal was anathema to all that was considered to be “chic” and “in.” A time when your favorite bands were actually encouraged by the music industry to play slower, cut their hair, and write sensitive lyrics about their childhoods. Yes, this unfortunately really happened.
Our new semi-irregular feature “90s Metal Weirdness” focuses on albums released between 1992 and 2001 and which we all probably would rather forget. But in the service of publicly shaming the musicians involved, we have pushed forward. — AMG
Harpyie – Blindflug Review
The harpy eagle has the strongest grip in the animal kingdom; it talons apply more pressure than the jaws of a wolf. Do Harpyie bring the same kind of crushing force?
Vintersorg – Orkan Review
Last year when Vintersorg released Jordpuls I wasn’t expecting that 15 months later I’d be writing another review of a new Vintersorg record. But earlier this year, Matte Marklund (the guitar player) showed up on the Internetz and said something surprising: there was a new record on the way, right on the heals of Jordpuls, and it would be called Orkan which means “Hurricane.” And now that record is here…
Earthen Grave – Earthen Grave Review
A progressive doom metal with a bunch of surprises? Steel Druhm likes surprises (that don’t result in him getting stabbed or shot).
Angry Metal Guy Speaks: On Things that Make Being Angry Metal Guy Hard
I would get the material sooner if I was a pirate. And that is fucking pathetic.
