Latest reviews

Epica VS Attack On Titan Songs
8.2
It's not often that metal and anime converge, and even more rarely does the union yield something with production values as high as this. Epica covering Attack On Titan themes seems a logical premise on paper, and, indeed, in execution everything went according to keikaku*.   Review by ScreamingSteelUS ››
The Quantum Enigma
8.0
Epica are back with a bang on their sixth studio release, the symphonic metal powerhouse abolishing any doubts that they can maintain their powerful presence within the genre.   Review by R'Vannith ››
