I have to admit I wasn’t familiar with this Ukrainian band before now, despite Scythian Stamm being their fifth full‑length release. Formed in 2005 under the name Hellion and rebranded as Hell:On in 2007, the band has clearly been active for quite some time....

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated September 09, 2021 4204 1 2

Three years have passed since Trond Holter released his excellent rock opera Dracula - Swing Of Death, featuring Jørn Lande on vocals. The original plan was to leave Swing Of Death as a one-off project, but the success following it's release convinced Holter to...

Those of you with musical preferences within the AOR/melodic hard rock genre, Harem Scarem is probably a familiar name since these Canadians have been around for thirty years now. Forming members Pete Lesperance (guitars) and singer Harry Hess are still going strong, rejoined by...

Hideous Divinity has been through several line-up changes since the start back in 2007 with Enrico Schettino (ex-Hour Of Penance) as the only remaining member from the original line-up. Their previous two albums were both quite good, but with their latest effort entitled 'Adveniens'...

HATE - Crusade Zero Hot

9.0

Album EK Even Knudsen February 02, 2015 6867 1 1

Two years have passed since Polish death metallers Hate released their eminent 'Solarflesh' album, but finally the highly antisipated successor is here. I do consider Hate as a death metal band, but to be fair there's a good protion of black metal in their...

8.0

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated December 04, 2014 3976 1 1

Italian technical death metaller's Hour Of Penance are back with their sixth studio album and I must admit that I was really excited about this one since these guys have released some great stuff before, like the death metal masterpiece 'The Vile Conception' from...

HELL Curse And Chapter Hot

9.0

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated December 04, 2014 4515 3 1

‘Human Remains’, the previous album from British band Hell, hit me like lightning from a clear sky and it proved to be one of the best heavy metal albums released in 2011. Therefore my expectations to this much anticipated successor were extremely high and...

HATRIOT Heroes Of Origin Hot

Album EK Even Knudsen Updated December 04, 2014 3464 0 1

I must admit that I had never even heard of Hatriot when I received this album, therefore I pushed the play button with absolutely no expectations at all and I didn't bother to read the press note either. Ten songs later I was sitting...
