This album shows how much Asgrauw has grown over the years. They are one of the flagbearers of Dutch Black Metal and luckily, and well deservedly, have gained more and more recognition during the years.

Time goes fast. It is already twelve years ago that I got acquainted with Asgrauw. Their first full length offering “Schijngestalten” still makes a spin in my cd-player quite regularly. The same goes for the albums “Krater”, “Gronspech” and other titles. This Dutch band always managed to...

The festival season is over, and it’s time to dive back into live shows. It’s been over twenty years since I first saw Kamelot perform, and a lot has changed since then. Tonight marks the official start of their tour (the Drachten show didn’t count, according to the tour poster), and a whoppin...

What if you could listen to an album of greatest hits and deep cuts from one of your favourite bands, but have every song be new to you? While it took me a couple of listens to get it, that is what the experience of Nightwish's“Yesterwynde” is, with the added bonus of new elements and directions to look forward to in the future. It is familiar enough to be comforting and enjoyed by old fans, while avoiding sounding phoned in or directly recycling too much. A good balance for album number ten.

It was a Sunday afternoon some time in the summer of 2006, during a break fronm.m band practice. Our guitarist gathered us around the computer to show us something funny on Youtube, as was the custom at the time. I had no inkling then (or for some time after) how much my life was about […]

The Italian dwarven power metal army Wind Rose has returned, and they’ve brought with them an album that’s as massive and unyielding as the mountains their mythical personas inhabit. "Trollslayer", their latest release, is set to drop on October 4, 2024, via Na**lm Records, and it’s a joy from start to finish.

Mister Misery describes their genre as uncategorizable and hate to be put into one specific genre. After listening to their third album. I can totally agree with them. This album has songs that are very good standalones. But put together makes it the perfect combination for a metal lover with not a specific kind of taste.

From the land that brings you Ikea and Knäckebröd, comes the sensational and unique metal band Mister Misery with a brand-new album. ”Mister Misery”, the self-titled third album launched a day before their big Wacken Open Air performance. At Wacken our reporter Antonie spoke with the lovely fe...
