Domovoyd - Oh Sensibility
Psychedelic Stoner Metal
Catchy grooves and trippy landscapes galore, the first full release from this Finnish four piece is definitely one of the better stoner efforts of 2013, as well as one of the best debuts. Has a very "lazy floating" type of feeling at many points, creating an atmosphere that's quite easy to fall back and get lost in. If that and the fantastic album art don't win you over, I don't know what will.
Turn on, tune in, drop out.

Good news from folk metallers Elvenking! On December 16th, the band will enter Domination Studios in San Marino to begin the recordings of the anticipated new album, the successor of Era (2012). Simone "Symohn" Morettin is going to record the drum tracks next week laying down the foundations of what the band already considers "the ultimate Elvenking manifesto". The new album is expected next year which means you won't have to wait that long. Also, the band is setting the bar very high on this one. (by Bad English) Read more ›› |

Blodsvept North America 2013, and Finntroll sure knows how to pick their support bands for this epic tour. Well, they didn't pick, but rather their booker, but nevertheless, the package worked on so many levels, with Metsatöll and Blackguard in tow. (by D.T. Metal) Read more ›› |

As the days get shorter and the air gets colder, this can only mean Damnation Festival is approaching once more. This year saw the ninth edition of the festival, and the biggest to date with Carcass leading the typically diverse line-up. Damnation Festival weekend is marked in everyone's calendar because of its tradition of bringing together the most eclectic collection of extreme bands and creating some great memories. As November rolls over again, it was time for people from across the country to make the journey to Leeds once more. (by Baz Anderson) Read more ›› |

God - Hell & Heaven (2006)
According to the promo sheet God (what a pretentious name!) have existed for 13 years by now, starting out in Romania as a gothic metal band that soon gathered a cult following. At some time the two brothers fronting the band relocated to Portugal and reformed with a new lineup and a "new" style. Well, the style isn't really new as God just jumped on the currently astoundingly popular pagan metal bandwagon; which raises the question why the band has dumped its oh so great gothic metal...

October Tide
Although released in 1997, Rain without End was originally recorded in 1995 and is the last album to feature Jonas Renkse's harsh vocals. Renkse wanted his vocals to sound even harsher for 1999's Grey Dawn but ended up straining his vocal cords, so they recruited Mårten Hansen from A Canorous Quintet to provide the vocals for that album.
