Review : HAVOK - "Time is Up"

Review : HAVOK – “Time is Up”

Rating: 4/5

I see a band that plays their guts out, improves their game, and has low tolerance for bullshit. “Time is Up” feels like the start of their true stride.

Review : DARKEST HOUR – “The Human Romance”

Rating: 2/5

If you enjoy melodic metal with a dash of arena rock and a side of core, this might be just what you’re looking for. But coming from a longtime fan, the only thing that amazed me is how much I was disappointed in “The Human Romance”.

Rating: 3/5

Sure, venture for the finest hooks possible, but know what you’re searching for, and “Red Silent Tides” may not be the best place to troll.

Review : CAULDRON – “Burning Fortune”

Rating: 5/5

This is an excellent release from Cauldron that uses the KISS method of heavy metal, and we’re not talking about face paint.

Review : MHORGL - "Antinomian"

Review : MHORGL – “Antinomian”

Rating: 4.5/5

Mhorgl isn’t your run-of-the-mill black metal band—not necessarily a good thing, because some of the genre’s best comes out of Australia and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. But they succeed in going beyond the black stump, and “Antinomian” is a great album.

Review : KORPIKLAANI – “Ukon Wacka”

Rating: 3/5

If the songs were a little more refined, diverse and complex, it would go a long way. I’ll direct my hope to the next album, for my love and respect for this band will always be strong as Koskenkorva.
