Side projects. A lot of times band members like to exploit different genres or influences and venture off to different bands. That’s how special projects are born and about two years ago we were surprised by a band named Warkings. Behind a cloak of secrecy, this band plays power metal best described as a mix […]
Napalm Records
Warbringer – Weapons of tomorrow
When listening to heavy music in today’s age there are so many genres that have been blended together to get the sound of today’s modern metal bands. However, there is always one genre that seems to stick out in most bands compilations, and that is Thrash. One of the forefather genres of heavy music thrash […]

Me And That Man – New Man, New Songs, Same Shit, Vol.1
I can always admire when musicians have different projects covering various musical styles, and when being active several years in one genre it seems legit discovering new ground. In this case Adam Darski, also known as Nergal, from…. you might have guessed it….Behemoth must have thought the same. While being infamous with Behemoth and spawning […]
Nemesea – White Flag
Diverse, if there is only one word we may use to describe Nemesea’s latest album “White Flag”, it’s diverse. Now, this isn’t a bad thing, but with fourteen songs on the record, can diverse be a bit too much? In 2016 lead singer Manda Ophuis left the band, only to be replaced by Sanne Mieloo. […]

Månegarm – Fornaldarsagor

Nights are longer, leaves have started falling and temperatures has appreciably dropped. To much more bearable levels. The equinox has touched the Old World, a summoning of and to Inside. ‘Go inside and […]
Arkona – Krahm
A black and white album cover showing three hooded figures, two with knives. On the background a starry sky or maybe eyes in the darkness. A gateway to another world and ravens to show the way. These elements can be seen on the appealing contemporary artwork that is the album cover of Krahm, the eight […]
Heidevolk – Vuur van Verzet
If you have any familiarity with the folk metal genre, you will know Heidevolk. The Dutch band has been active in the scene for roughly 16 years and conquered its rightful place on countless tour posters and festival line-ups. Although the band’s own lineup has changed over the years, two pillars – drummer Joost and […]
