The name Fleshkiller may not immediately ring a bell, but if i say that this is the new band of Extol guitarist and mastermind Ole Børud it should give you a fair idea of what this is all about. Alongside Børud Fleshkiller consists of...

Are you ready for some real traditional heavy metal? Well, then German band Forensick would be a good place to start. These young guys have certainly not reinvented the wheel with their second studio album since the formula is both well known and well...

Italy’s main force within brutal extreme metal are back with their third studio album entitled ‘Labyrinth’. If you liked the brilliant ‘Agony’ album you will for sure enjoy this one as well since it’s basically more of the same with the exception that every...

7.0

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated December 04, 2014 4041 1 1

The masters of "humppa" metal are back with the successor to their acclaimed 2010 release 'Nifelvind'. 'Blodsvept' showes Finntroll from a sligtly rawer side and the production is a bit less polished than on the previous album. The "humppa" still plays a dominant role...
