ALBUM REVIEW: Sentinel Daily reviews the new album from Lithuanian blackthrash unit Night Slasher...
The self-titled album will be released through Sliptrick Records on February 6th!
Lithuanian blackthrashers Night Slasher are a smart bunch it seems; they've certainly got the leather, studs n'Satan schtick down pat, but they are sensible - and skillful - enough to take their music far beyond cookie cutter speed metal tropes. There's a classy dollop of early Mustaine in a lot of....

Releasing their new album under the wings of Svart Records, Livgone emerges as a newly kindled flame of emotional doom metal.

ALBUM REVIEW: Sentinel Daily reviews the new album from iconic guitarist Ace Frehley...
10,000 Volts will be released on February 23rd through MNRK Heavy!
bum-bumbum-bum... thud THUD thud... budda-budda-budda... bum-bum-bum... THUD THUD THUD... Hear that? It's a recording I made a little while ago of the jungle drums firing up. Loosely translated, they were saying 'Ace is back, um, and he told you so'... After a while the noise was deafening. IT'S HIS...

ALBUM REVIEW EXTRA: Sentinel Daily reviews the new album from NWoBHM stalwarts Saxon...
Hell, Fire and Damnation is out now through Silver Lining Music!
Nobody - make that NOBODY - of trad metal's old guard makes music in 2024 - or for the last decade and a half, really - that stays as true to the spirit of the genre as Barnsley Big Teasers Saxon. Not for them triple albums full of bloated journeys into prog, not for them

ALBUM REVIEW: Sentinel Daily reviews the new album from Swedish Occult rockers LUCIFER...
V will be released by Nuclear Blast on January 26th!
Swedish act Lucifer are a clever bunch; Tagging their music 'occult rock' and playing with a raft of scary imagery, they actually pack their songs with earworm hooks and feelgood, memory-taunting nostalgia. At one point, on theatrical closer Nothing Left To Lose But My Life, vocalist Johanna Platow....
ALBUM REVIEW: Sentinel Daily reviews the new album from Canadian rockers Honeymoon Suite...
Alive is set for release through Frontiers Music srl on February 16th!
It's getting on for six years to the day since we last reviewed some Honeymoon Suite 'product' - their enjoyable Hands Up EP - so to say I've been waiting eagerly for this new album, Alive, to surface would be something of an understatement. Was it worth the wait? Oh yes... Absolutely yes! I'll conf...
ALBUM REVIEW: Sentinel Daily reviews the new album from Danish metalheads Manticora...
Mycelium will be released by Mighty Music on January 26th!
Danish veterans Manticora have made a fair name for themselves as purveyors of thoughtful, punchy power/prog metal over their quarter of a century of existence; They even put out a novel to accompany their last two concept albums, but with Mycelium they go back to simply delivering blistering, melod...

Well, 2024 is now fully ensconced, and what better way to welcome in the new year with a new round of our popular Metal Origins series? To kick off, we have not one, not two, but three sets of recollections as Stygian Crown's bassist Eric Ryan, guitarist Andy Hicks and drummer Rhett A. Davis take

ALBUM REVIEW: Sentinel Daily reviews the new album from Canadian flautist Ember Belladonna - Musician...
The Grove will be released on February 9th!
At under half an hour in length and peppered with instrumental passages, The Grove doesn't give you a lot in the way of real 'songs' to get your teeth into; However there is enough going on here to suggest that Canadian flautist Ember Belladonna might be worth keeping an eye on moving forward. The m...
NEWS: Aussie dark folk exponents Suldusk release a new album through Na**lm Records in March - but you can hear music from the record here now!

ALBUM REVIEW: Sentinel Daily reviews the new album from Canadian metallers Striker...
Ultrapower will be released by Record Breaking Records on February 2nd!
Aaah, Striker. If there's one band to get SD editor Scott Adams out of his classic metal-induced funk it's these canorous Canadians and their shredtastic approach to 'our kind of music'. They released six albums in eight years in a staggering blaze of creativity in the early part of their career, bu...
ALBUM REVIEW: Sentinel Daily reviews the new album from throwback metallers Ps¥cho Ward...
Committed will be released through productions on January 12th!
When Psycho Ward's new album, committed, comes rumbling in on an impressively huge-sounding riff from guitarist Miguel Angel Lopez Escamez and a Bachian growl from vocalist John Ward, you'd be forgiven for thinking you'd fallen asleep and woken, John Simm-like, in 1988. The song in question, Crazy A...
NEWS: Canadian rockers Honeymoon Suite are back with a new single - hear it here!

ALBUM REVIEW: Sentinel Daily reviews the upcoming new album from Sweden's Metalite...
Expedition One will be released through AFM Records on January 19th!
I know the general consensus in 2024 amongst people who concern themselves with such things is that, in the digital age, the concept of 'the album' as a linear method of listening to records is essentially dead; People just don't listen to albums from start to finish, especially when streaming platf...
ALBUM REVIEW: Sentinel Daily reviews the new album from American rockers Hearts & Hand Grenades...
Where I Begin will be released by Eclipse Records on January 26th!
After turning in two superb albums within the space of twelve months in 2021, American rockers Hearts & Hand Grenades return, thankfully, in 2024 with more of the same. But whilst that 'more of the same' tag might be, in the case of other bands at least, a signifier of a creative drying up of the
ALBUM REVIEW: Sentinel Daily reviews the upcoming new album from US metal stalwarts The Rods Fan Page...
Rattle The Cage is set for release through MASSACRE RECORDS on January 19th!
