Release Reviews

SaaR - The Last Day (Own Label)
Experimental (but not nearly enough)
Masterplan - Novum Initium (AFM Records)
A new beginning...
U.D.O. - Steelhammer (AFM Records)
More of the same sure, but you won't find us complaining, oh no sir...
New Device - Here We Stand (Southworld)
Nice, spritely modern metal from Sambora approved young hopefuls...
Suidakra - Eternal Defiance (AFM Records)
If you've ever wondered, where are the tributes to Welsh mythology? Look no further, as Suidakra's Eternal Defiance depicts 'The Dream of Macsen Wledig' apparently...
Mechanical Swan - Black Dawn Romance (Bakerteam Records)
A surprising triumph!
Kaledon - Altor: The King's Blacksmith (Scarlet Records)
More of the same from these Italian veterans...
Tesseract - Altered States (Century Media)
Ditch the peanut goggles...
Rusted - Rock Patrol (Own Label)
The great white North strikes again!
The Kolmas – Kolmas Testi (Ektro)
The minimal of minimal.
