Fates Warning – Theories Of Flight
Fates Warning have been pioneering their brand of progressive metal for more than 30 years now. Band’s latest album “Theories Of Flight” might be their best since 1997’s groundbreaking “A Pleasant Shade Of Gray.” The main composer guitarist Jim Matheos is firing on all cylinders, with his guitar tones both sweepingly beautiful and crunchingly heavy…

Batushka – Litourgiya
Amazing black metal album by three Polish musicians who wants to keep their identities secret. They are said to be well-known in the music scene so basically they are Ghost of Black Metal. Litourgiya is a killer album with no fillers included. Seeing them live at Steelfest only confirmed just how brutally good they are!…

Fatboy-Moments

Def Leppard – Def Leppard
This latest self-titled release captures the same fine spirit Def Leppard had when they dominated the charts during the 80s. The first single, Let’s Go, and Man Enough, which comes very close to Queen’s Another One Bites The Dust, for example, will easily stand shoulder to shoulder with all those old Leppard’s hits. Great to have…

Avatarium – The Girl With The Raven Mask
Avatarium have released their second album “The Girl With The Raven Mask,” which ranks as personal favourite of 2015. Their self-titled debut record in 2013 already raised the stakes but this time, they have moved up to an even better level. Candlemass’ bassist Leif Edling’s familiar style of song writing, 1970’s sound with modern touch,…
