The Scorched Earth Orchestra - Plays Cradle of Filth (2006)

The Scorched Earth Orchestra - Plays Cradle of Filth (2006) Tribute/Orchestral/Metal “The Scorched Earth Orchestra has paid tribute to the epic sound that was the basis for hit records like Damnation and a Day by taking the "symphonic" part of "symphonic metal" to heart. Songs like "Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids" and "Her Ghost in the Fog" have been taken to their epic zenith in a manner best-suited for anyone who has meticulously followed...

Vanir - Onwards Into Battle (2012)

Vanir - Onwards Into Battle I’m pretty sure that you can name several Viking Metal bands out of pretty much each of the Nordic Countries. I dare you. Nothing for Iceland? OK, admittedly, the Icelandic scene is a little enigmatic, but just check out SKÁLMÖLD and you have your entry. Denmark? Some of you might name Folk Death Metallers SVARTSOT, but after that I must say there is not much coming to mind, unless you’ve come across this friendly...

Dark Sky - Empty Faces (2008)

Dark Sky - Empty Faces   When it comes to music, I’m certainly not biased. I know people who ‘hate’ German rock and metal bands, because they sound typically ‘teutonic’, as it were. I couldn’t care less, as long as quality is getting delivered.I have always seen potential in Dark Sky and with their last album, “Living & Dying” (AOR Heaven, 2005), I welcomed them into the first league of German melodic rock bands, already populated by...

Phavian - Meridian II (2013)

Phavian - Meridian II "Meridian II" is the sophomore album from Californian prog metal band Phavian, the second part of an ongoing four act saga of Tolkien-styled medieval fantasy. Although being lumped in the modern progressive metal movement, Phavian in fact have very little in common with the common progressive metal staples of Dream Theater and Symphony X, bringing influences from gothic and folk music to create a much more diverse sounding...

Tristania - Widows Weeds (1998) Russian Edition CUE LOG FLAC

Tristania - Widows Weeds Gothic Metal. Sounds pretty abstract, doesn’t it? With Melodic Death Metal, you can pretty much guess it’s Death Metal with melody included. But what's Gothic Metal? Simply, Metal which has that beautiful dark atmosphere defined as ‘gothic’, something which pervades this entire album. I once read someone saying something along the lines of ‘Widow’s Weeds was the first and last Gothic metal album ever, and miles better...

XIV Dark Centuries - Skithingi (2006)

XIV Dark Centuries - Skithingi This album has it all. There are countless infleuces here, from Humppa (Ahnenland), to folk (any of the Bardensang- tracks), pagan metal and a combination of folk and pagan elements all in one. There are driving double bass beats, various vocal styles, synthesizer-induced atmosphere, and excellent guitar work. The guitars are especially important, as the other instruments lay the foundation with which the guitars...

Sacred Steel - Reborn in Steel (1997)

Sacred Steel - Reborn in Steel Even if you’ve never heard a single song by Sacred Steel you’ve probably at least heard stories of their singer. Gerrit P. Mutz, to many, has one of the worst singing voices in Metal, but to others, he gives the band plenty of character and a unique sound. I’m sort of in between, but that will be discussed later. I think the most important thing to do, for the time being, is look past the vocals and concentrate...

Theater of Tragedy - Inperspective (EP) FLAC CUE LOG (2000)

Theater of Tragedy - Inperspective (EP) Inperspective is an ironically titled EP featuring some remixes and random recordings from Norway's Theatre of Tragedy. Although this band is most often the point of comparison for any metal band featuring male death vocals paired with clean female singing, Theatre of Tragedy has toiled away in the land of highly generic music for pretty much their entire existence. Certainly they have been capable of...

Dark Sky - Living & Dying (2005)

Dark Sky - Living & Dying Some of you out there will remember that I was ‘charmed’ by “Edge Of Time”, the second album from German melodic rock band Dark Sky, which was released by GoodLife Records in the autumn of 2002. The follow-up, called “Living & Dying”, is the first for new label AOR Heaven and it marks another huge step forward for this sympathetic fivesome from the south of Germany. The recordings took place in the Bazement...

Sky of Rage - Sky of Rage (2012)

Sky of Rage - Sky of Rage Sky Of Rage is an interesting band name which inspires notions of the sky erupting with crushing riffs, a pummelling barrage of drums and intense vocals. Not this band though, whilst they aren't super heavy Sky Of Rage present more of a balance of stirring heavy rock/metal and speed, than an all out destructive metal blast fest that the name Sky Of Rage may suggest. This new group was formed by guitarist Joachim Nordllund...

Skadika - Frozen Legends According to the accompanying blurb with this album, Skadika sound like they have been constantly changing and evolving since their inception back in 2005. The only constant across the 7 years has been frontwoman Jule who appears to be the driving force here.This album was recorded on the back of three members leaving the band in 2012, but Jule has managed to gather together a fine group of musicians to provide her...

XIV Dark Centuries - ...den Ahnen zum Grusse (2003)

XIV Dark Centuries - ...den Ahnen zum Grusse This album is absolutely amazing. From start to finish I love every bit of this album. These Germans have churned out some fucking excellent pagan metal. I can't believe this band is not well known, they certainly deserve some credit for this great album. Being from a town in Germany that was around before the horrid Christians took over, they certainly have pagan roots, which influence the entirety...

Tristania - Beyond The Veil (Limited Edition FLAC) 2001

Tristania - Beyond The Veil  Review Summary: Dark, symphonic, gothic metal that reeks in anger and despair. One of the crowning jewels to be found in the gothic metal genre and particulary one album that shouldn't be taken lightly. It goes without saying that Norway has played more than a pivotal role in developing extreme metal. Their contributions to black metal are extraordinary and can be felt by audiences as far as America to Asia....

Battlelore - Where the Shadows Lie (2002) APE

Battlelore - Where the Shadows Lie From Finland hails a new band called BATTLELORE, which offers us their first album "Where The Shadows Lie". The boys and girls have fully devoted themselves to the imagery of J.R.R. Tolkien, beginning with the song-titles, over the cover up to the band itself, which has put itself fully into the "Lord Of The Rings", with each musician depicting one creature from this epos. Of course with the suiting pseudonyms.Musically...

Theater of Tragedy - Aegis (1998) FLAC CUE LOG

Theater of Tragedy - Aegis I could definitely see myself absolutely hating this as recently as a year ago, but after discovering Tears For Fears' surprising non-crappiness and developing a fondness for some early 80's MOR (Yacht Rock, you have much to answer for!!) my hatred for 80's new wave/goth/music in general has pretty much disappeared. The soaring vocal lines! The awesome bombasticness of so much of the stuff, the love of super digital...

Dark Sky - Edge of Time (2002)

Dark Sky - Edge of Time Loyal readers will remember that I was quite impressed by Dark Sky’s debut album “Believe It”. In Rock Report # 47 (spring 2001) I rewarded it with no less than 85/100 and so, I coupled my review to an interview with all band members in that same issue. We’re now one and a half year further and what I have in my CD player, is an advance CD-R of the soon to be released (Oct. 1) second studio album “Edge Of Time”. Earlier...
