Conqueress - Forever Strong and Proud |
- Doro |
7 / 10 |
| |
(...)On October 27th, 2023 German vocalist Doro's new album was released. The Album titled "Conqueress: Forever Strong and Proud" is artists 14th studio solo album and brings the music that shows that Doro still likes what she does and does what she likes. (...) it was worth waiting to see that she really deserved a place in the pantheon of heavy metal stars.(...) |

Can't Find The Brakes |
- Dirty Honey |
7 / 10 |
| |
Dirty Honey sound like mid-70s Aerosmith, with a dash of Led Zeppelin due to Marc LaBelle’s vocals. Better still, nothing sounds forced. The only thing mannered is their wardrobe.
While no track on new album "Can’t Find The Brakes" is radically original, there’s still plenty to enjoy, not least opener "Don’t Put Out The Fire", a slow-burner with shades of AC/DC. "Won’t Take Me Alive" is pure vintage Aerosmith (not as sharp lyrically, but nice and ratty nonetheless),(...) |

Dark Parade |
- Cirith Ungol |
7 / 10 |
| |
Early doom and power metal based off The Lord of the Rings, Cirith Ungol have made their grand return with their 6th studio record Dark Parade. The band are named after the mountain pass Cirith Ungol in J. R. R. Tolkien's epic fantasy novel, 'The Lord of the Rings' and their lyrics are normally based on fantasy elements; particularly 'sword and sorcery.'(...) Deviating away from the 'sword and sorcery' elements (...), Cirith Ungol have instead focused on something of a Lovecraftian affair (...) |

Too Many Lies, Too Many Masters |
- Ronnie Romero |
7 / 10 |
| |
September 15, 2023 was the date when Ronnie Romero released his real first solo album. Artist known better for his cooparation with bands like Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Vandenberg, or Michael Schenker Group, (...). Now he gives us completely solo material and must be said that this is a piece of good music.
(...) That what his new album is - interesting vocal, interesting music, interesting guitar solos - everything what's important in hard rock and heavy metal |

The Sinner Rides Again |
- KK's Priest |
7 / 10 |
| |
(...)KK's Priest's first sermon may not have been a fiery exhortation to a congregation curious as to what the ex-Judas Priest string slinger, KK Downing, could produce after years away from the band that made his name; however, it was good enough to keep your interest as to what the band could produce in the wake of their first foray into the studio. The Sinner Rides Again answers this question with a defiant... meh: an album that is serviceable, but leaves you asking "is that it?"(...) |

Code Red |
- Primal Fear |
8 / 10 |
| |
Few days ago, on September 1st, 2023, German power-metal band Primal Fear released their 14th studio album - "Code Red". The band, formed in 1997 by ex-Gamma Ray vocalist Ralf Scheepers and bassist Mat Sinner, made fans wait for a new material three years after releasing their previous studio album "Metal Commando".For every fan it was definitely the period worth of waiting, especially that new record is pretty good.Maybe it isn't the masterpiece but certainly it won't dissapear in the mist(...) |

Memorial |
- Soen |
8 / 10 |
| |
Swedish prog metal band "Soen" has been extremely busy in the last years, creating diverse and fantastic sonic experiences that have taken the band to tour (...) across the world, as well as presenting (...) a re-imagination of some of their pieces in a semi-acoustic format that can be appreciated by everyone in their album "Atlantis”. Plunged into this brilliant and prolific streak, Soen is back once again to bring us “Memorial”, their 6th studio album—and 4th release in just over 4 years(...) |

6 / 10 |

Raven, like Saxon, Satan, and Iron Maiden, were part of the NWoBHM that conquered the world in the early 80s.(...) Some 42 years on and they’re still functioning and releasing new albums on a regular basis, making them part of an increasingly exclusive NWoBHM Survivor Series.(...) Now the angry birds are back with their 15th album, All Hell’s Breaking Loose and it’s Yours Steely tasked with analyzing their latest migration patterns.(...) |
