Reviews: MI Metal Shows & Albums
Here’s Our Opinion.
Temptation’s Wings – Skulthor Ebonblade
This epic, doomy, thrashy, stonery, and very Viking sounding band picks up the pace at points on this one. Right off the bat, this album sends you back in time to the battlegrounds, almost inducing marching and preparing you for this epic tale.
Tim Bowness – Lost in the Ghost Light
Lost in the Ghost Light, however, mines the steady, mid-tempo rhythms and more pastel and at times pastoral production of Marillion or more sedate Pink Floyd material.
Bonesteel – Epitome of Infamy
With a little rap metal style, Bonesteel’s music provides real-life lyrics backed by catchy, powerful hooks.
Iron Magazine – Queen of Hell
Queen of Hell sounds like it’s fresh off the time machine from the 1980s.
Altar of Betelgeuze – Among the Ruins
Among the Ruins will be in the top ten Stoner/Doom Metal albums of 2017.
Power Trip – Nightmare Logic
“Nightmare Logic” wastes no time..[s]ticking to their almost Testament sounding old school roots, and also showcasing their growth and evolution as a band by including a much needed sound in modern metal.
REVIEW AND EXCLUSIVE TRACK STREAM – Herida Profunda/Hellbastard – Split
Exclusive double track stream featuring Herida Profunda and Hellbastard, provided by Give Praise Records.
Haken – Aquarius and Visions Re-Release
The musicianship is exquisite and the songs feature gorgeous.
Deserted Fear – Dead Shores Rising
The riffs are simple but effectively heavy. No new ground is broken here. Deserted Fear appear content to drive the in the same wheel ruts that Amon Amarth and Dark Tranquillity did 10 years ago.
Ignis Gehenna – Baleful Scarlet Star
Baleful Scarlet Star is a violent entity released from oblivion and come to utterly destroy.
