So this, the 10th Annual Metal Storm Awards, have come to pass. The awards have continued to grow, with numerous categories surpassing 1000 votes cast, despite a lack of big name clout. For point of comparison, Therion was the biggest vote getter in our first ever awards, racking up 191 for Lemuria. In 2014 they barely would have cracked the Top 25. And that is only if Kvelertak doesn't score two more votes as I type this during the waning hours of the month. That is some growth. While in general this lack of big names in many genres lead to some closer contests, as with each of the prior... (by BitterCOld) Read more ›› |

The last day of the cruise was upon us and after finding those toothpicks to prop my eyes open I ventured outside. Atrocity was supposed to be playing on the Pool Deck Stage, but since they had a gig scheduled in Denver upon my return, I was just going to watch them while having my morning coffee and a smoke. And there I saw it for the first time - the weather. (by D.T. Metal) Read more ›› |

Day three of the self-proclaimed "World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise" is the day the ship's anchor gets dropped in a pre-determined port somewhere nice and warm. Costa Maya, Mexico, a man-made cruise port about 200 plus miles south of Cancun, was the voted on destination. (by D.T. Metal) Read more ›› |

Being a Metal Storm Staff member can tend to get you a varying frequency of messages to your inbox from people wanting you to edit the guest reviews they've submitted for the site. They want to know if everything's in order, if there wasn't too much fanboyism in their writing, and so forth. While I'm certainly not annoyed by these messages, I thought it would be a better idea to offer people suggestions on how to develop their own reviewing styles, rather than walking them through the process step by step according to a "right" way of how to do it.

Yaotl Mictlan - Guerreros De La Tierra De Los Muertos (2006)
It's always great when you toss an unknown CD in your player and end up receiving a blasting experience; this is the first time I ever hear the name Yaotl Mictlan, (a saddening fact because they are very good) when I saw the cover I thought "cool concept" but I was hesitant because the band call themselves "Aztec Black Death Metal", the genre turned-on my "wankery" alert but I still wanted to give these guys a chance. The album starts with an intro wrapped in pre-Hispanic...

Warmen
The first three albums (Unknown Soldier, Beyond Abilities, Accept The Fact) all contain samples from the movie Amadeus (1984), the story of Mozart and Salieri:
- Introduction (Unknown Soldier, 2000): "Occasionally, it seems to have ehm... What do they say... How shall one say directly?" - "Too many notes, your Majesty" - "Exactly, very well put. Too many notes".
- Beyond Abilities (Beyond Abilities, 2001): "The young man's trying to impress beyond his abilities. Too spice... too ehm... too many notes".
- The whole monologue in Confessions (Beyond Abilities, 2001).
- Accept The Fact (Accept The Fact, 2005): "If the public doesn't like one's work... One has to accept the fact gracefully".
- Return Of Salieri (Accept The Fact, 2005): "One day I will laugh at him. Before I leave this earth, I will laugh at him".
A sample from the same movie was also used on Children Of Bodom's Hatebreeder.
