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.

Dalriada - Napisten Hava (2012)
The key to any truly successful folk metal album is balance. An accord must be established between all the elements utilised to give the metal base any sense of an authentic folk aesthetic. And this works both ways; so too this aesthetic needs to affix itself to a strong heart of metal. However it's what a band do once they hold this key that really matters; what they produce once the folk to metal equilibrium has been achieved. The doors unlocked with this key will ideally lead to memorable experiences.

Deep Purple
As of 2012, Deep Purple have not been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Toto guitarist Steve Lukather commented, "they put Patti Smith in there but not Deep Purple? What's the first song every kid learns how to play? ["Smoke On The Water"]...And they're not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? ...the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has lost its cool because of the glaring omissions." When asked what band he'd like to see inducted into the Rock Hall, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich lobbied for Deep Purple.
