7 / 10 |
| |
Power metal historians SABATON have returned with their eleventh studio album. The Swedish quintet closed their two-part chapter on their foray into World War One with The War to End All Wars. They are now embarking on a lesson on historical personages of interest. Appropriately titled Legends, the new record shines a light on illustrious characters such as Joan of Arc and Julius Caesar (...) |

March Of The Unheard |
- The Halo Effect |
7 / 10 |
| |
The Halo Effect's "Detonate" (...) promoted upcoming band's new album "March of the Unheard" that was released just few days ago. The band was formed in 2019 by former members of In Flames. So if anyone knows anything about In Flames or know at least that they are coming from Sweden, then probably will be almost sure that music recorded at The Halo Effect's new album would be melodic death metal or something close to this. And that would be good opinion(...) |

Ash Of Eternal Flame |
- InnerWish |
7 / 10 |
| |
InnerWish's fans had to wait eight years for another album from their favourite band. Although Greeks usually release new albums at longer intervals, his time that period was the longest in thair 29 years long carieer. But finally new album, "Ash Of Eternal Flame" was released on November 1st 2024. And at that point some questions must be asked. Is new album worth of waiting?(...) |

War hearts |
- Frozen Crown |
7 / 10 |
| |
In recent months I’ve been mulling over the virtues of concise songwriting. Thanks to its inherent pop appeal, power metal benefits most from diligent self-editing. The style’s inclinations towards grandeur and virtuosity mean that short-form power metal is uncommon, yet tasteful restraint can lead to breathtaking gut punches of concentrated genre excess. On their fifth LP, War Hearts, Frozen Crown seems to agree.(...) |

Trollslayer |
- Wind Rose |
8 / 10 |
| |
One of new entries on week 121 (...) was Wind Rose's "To Be a Dwarf". It was just a new single from upcoming new album and while I was listening to it I was expecting just another symphonic/power metal album as many released this year. "Trollslayer"(...) was released on Oct. 4th 2024 and I had some doubts putting italians new album into my player. And the facts that W.R. are playing together for 15 years now and they released 5 studio albums during this time gave me some hope for good album(...) |

Yesterwynde |
- Nightwish |
7 / 10 |
| |
(...) Even though I knew that Human. :II: Nature. was shaping up to be a divisive album, I was still surprised at the sheer volume and intensity of ‘passionate discourse’ in the aforementioned review’s comments section, not least because I just didn’t think it was an exciting enough album to get worked up over in any direction. (...), so there were suitably lowered expectations this time around for Yesterwynde.(...) |
