What would happen if you mashed together Alestorm, Aether Realm and Gloryhammer? Then threw it all into space? No one has ever asked that question before – well, until Wizardthrone anyway. Wizardthrone is a new international supergroup made up of several prominent members of aforementioned bands, most notably including Chris Bowes of Alestorm/Gloryhammer; and everyone […]

Nanowar of Steel – Italian Folk Metal
After the massive hits that were “Formia” and “Biancodolce,” Nanowar of Steel is finally releasing their long-awaited pop album. Except it’s sadly full of metal songs? Very disappointing! With this record metal’s most hilarious and clever band takes jabs at their local Italian music, fittingly calling the album ‘Italian Folk Metal.’ You may wonder why […]
A talk about, and with, Einherjer: North Star
A while ago, Einherjer released their 8th studio album “North Star”. So what does the album sound like and what are the thoughts of co-founder and drummer Gerhard Storesund on the album and the band? We went and found out! The album North Star starts with “The Blood and the Iron”. It’s a powerful track, […]
Warkings – Revenge
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 […]
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. […]
Gloryhammer -Legends from beyond the galactic terrorvortex
Some of you might know that I am a sucker for a good story in a record. When you look at the Gloryhammer records, the story continues in “Legends from Beyond the Galactic Terrorvortex”. And what a story it is. Have you ever killed a goblin on the moon? Have you ever rode an eagle […]
Månegarm – Fornaldarsagor
Månegarm have always been a key name in the Pagan/Folk Metal world. One reason is the sheer fact that they’ve been around since 1995 (which positions them basically as one of the pioneering bands) and the second is that they’ve managed to on one hand keep the core of fans loyal throughout the years, by […]
