Devildriver – Trust No One
Devildriver, coming from the U.S, are one of those bands that I always had a small, warm place for, in my heart, ever since I’ve heard their debut album. They’re certainly not a favorite of mine, yet they’re not bad enough for me to give up listening to them every few years, to see if […]
Intronaut – The Direction of Last Things
I got acquainted with the American progressive/post-metal band Intronaut in 2013, with the release of their dense and atmospheric record Habitual Levitations (Instilling Words with Tones).

Fozzy – Do You Wanna Start A War
Fozzy’s the previous effort, Sin and Bones, turned out to be a turning point for the heavy metal formation. The record was received positively by the press and they gained a lot of new fans. Now, the American rockers, led by former professional wrestler Chris Jericho, are back with the album’s successor: Do You Wanna […]

With the aim to blend melodic metal with a taste of technicality, a group of American musicians from Nashville founded Inferi in 2006. Their efforts to create their own trademark sound resulted in two full lengths: Divinity in War in 2007 and The End of an Era in 2009. But alike some good foods, sometimes […]
