Pokolgép - Vissza Sose Nézz

 

Genre: Heavy/Speed
Country: Hungary
Year: 2024

1. Vissza Sose Nézz
2. Tilos Csillagon
3. A Hatodik Nap
4. Tiszta Hitem
5. Szabad, Aki Szólni Mer
6. Ég Veled
7. Áldomás
8. Neked
9. Fogadj El
10. Utolsó Szívdobbanás

15th album by Pokolgép, 9 years after their last one. It is a consistently great album! Kukovecz and fellow guitarist Zalán Kiss have stuffed the album with great riffs and lead guitar and the songwriting is so memorable and fresh that it never feels like you’re listening to a band well into the fourth decade of its career.

Aardvark - Tough Love

 

Genre: Heavy
Country: Australia
Year: 2024

1. Ankh
2. Tough Love
3. Don't Call Me A Liar
4. Fire
5. Destructor
6. Fight Back
7. Killer
8. The Dream Is Nearly Over
9. Too Old To Cry

Debut album by Aardvark. There’s a tight, cohesiveness to their music that’d make one think they’d be seasoned vets, and not on their first album. 9 tracks of early '80s heavy metal worship, 'Tough Love' seems to be dipping their toes into the NWOBHM more so than the American scene of the early '80s.

Medieval Steel - Blood Moon

 

Genre: Heavy/Power
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2024

1. Death Neves Dies
2. War Cry
3. Pain Maker
4. Eye Of The Raven
5. Viking Wishing Well
6. Sword Of The King
7. Death Or Victory
8. Blood Moon
9. Eternal Enemy
10. Into The Madness

3rd album by Medieval Steel. The band sounds sharp and tight, vocalist Bobby Franklin can still get it done, and that classic US metal sound is solidly in place. That said, the songwriting is weaker this time out, with more repetition and vocal lines that are not as good to start with and don't benefit from being repeated too many times. This is not a bad album, but it can't match what this band has done before.

Ice War - Feel The Steel

 

Genre: Heavy/Epic
Country: Canada
Year: 2025

1. Feel The Steel
2. Venom
3. Red Fire
4. Memories
5. Choice Is Ours
6. Shine Bright
7. Life In Waste
8. Lost To The Void
9. Damnation

7th album by Ice War. You can hear some Maidenesque gallops, some hard rockish and even rock-style melodies that take you back a few decades, some '80s-style more commercial melodies can be found here as well, very catchy stuff. But there's an undeniable epic heavy metal feel throughout most of the album, and that will immediately remind you of a number of more modern epic heavy metal bands that have been gracing our ears in the past 15-20 years.

3. Ättestupan
4. Vi är mörkret
5. Träldom
6. The Waves, The Sky And The Pyre
7. The Last Step

9th album by Ereb Altor. It is full of epic heavy metal with mainly clean singing supported by occasional harsh vocals. They work well together and there are huge, ferocious guitars and drums designed to lay waste to everything in their path.

Dragon Skull - Chaos Fire Vengeance

 

Genre: Heavy
Country: Greece
Year: 2025

1. Brethren
2. Dragon Riders
3. Skull Crusher
4. War Drums
5. Nampat
6. Skeleton Hand
7. Shield Maiden
8. Blood And Souls

Debut album by Dragon Skull. Across these eight smartly compact songs, Dragon Skull moves seamlessly between more epic-leaning doom pacing and speedier crushers. The album over all is boisterous, electrifying, and just straightforward heaviness. It dips into fantasy stories about war, emperors, gods, etc.

Century - Sign Of The Storm

 

Genre: Heavy
Country: Sweden
Year: 2025

1. Sacrifice
2. Children Of The Past
3. Necromancer
4. The Chains Of Hell
5. Fallen Hero
6. Sign Of The Storm
7. Fly Away
8. No Time For Tomorrow
9. Possessed By The Night
10. Sorceress

2nd album by Century. Century may sound like coming directly from the early '80s but the band is not living in the past, instead they try to open new paths and pave them with their own vision of heavy metal music. The past lives, and it conquers, with 'Sign of the Storm' – if 'The Conquest of Time' had you hooked, its follow-up is a must-have!

Captain Hawk - Ghosts Of The Sea

Genre: Folk/Power
Country: Greece
Year: 2024

1. Northern Winds
2. Into The Storm
3. In The Captain's Quarters
4. The Crone
5. Get The Pistol!
6. Ghosts Of The Sea
7. Father
8. Diamonds, Emeralds & Rubies
9. Daughters Of The Ocean
10. Coming Home

Debut album by Captain Hawk, a project by Bob Katsionis (Outloud, ex-Firewind, etc.) and Elina Egglezou (Goditha). It’s very much the kind of album, a rock opera, that works best when treated as a whole, and with lyrics on hand, as the story and vocal performances (7 different vocalists) are the highlights, followed closely by the folk and symphonic elements, while the metal portions are well done.

10. Drug Lords
11. World War
12. Mic Contract

6th album by Body Count. It took Body Count a while to finish 'Merciless', but the result is worth the effort as we can expect a typical Body Count album. The fusion of rap and metal, hardcore and punk is the musical melting pot that makes Body Count’s music stand out.

Year: 2024

1. Starfire Maelstrom

4th album by Bewitcher. If you are looking for an album full of solid riffs with a killer oldschool black/speed metal performance, then look no further than Bewitcher’s brand-new album 'Spell Shock'. It’s a great testosterone driven experience that will satisfy anyone who is heavily into bands like Speedwolf, Midnight, Hellripper, Wraith, Bütcher, etc.

Chainsaw - Satan

 

Genre: Black/Thrash
Country: Greece
Year: 2024

1. Mentor Of The Tormentor
2. Burn His Corpse
3. Boiling Cauldron
4. Death By 69
5. Cry Blood
6. Satan
7. Go For The Throat
8. Amok
9. The Dead Watch You
10. Full Of Evil

3rd album by Chainsaw, 7 years after their last one. Thick bass lines, energizing guitars and hooligan vocal lines along with intensely maltreated drums set the pace, all so well thrown in the boiling cauldron in which Chainsaw composed the ten tracks the album features that makes 'Satan' an almost 40 minutes of aggressive pleasure, a crescendo of brutality and thrash 'n' roll.

Auriferous Flame - The Insurrectionists And The Caretakers

 

Genre: Black
Country: Greece
Year: 2024

1. The Insurrectionists
2. The Caretakers
3. An Oration To The Storm

3rd album by Auriferous Flame. The songs here are very much in line with second-wave black metal, recalling Emperor or early Satyricon with sprawling arrangements and some moody interludes. It’s explosive in it passion and storming in its black/thrashing intensity, but also remarkably elaborate, technically eye-popping, and at times surprisingly atmospheric.
