On January 25th, 2019, King Diamond will release a new DVD/Blu-ray, “Songs for the Dead Live”, via Metal Blade Records.

There is only one King Diamond, and for more than thirty years the great Dane has been dropping classic albums and putting on shows fans remember for the rest of their lives. Perhaps the only downside to having such a formidable catalogue is that there are just too many great songs to fit into a single set.

High On Fire have announced the Electric Messiah tour 2019 in continued support of their new LP released earlier this year.

High On Fire released “Electric Messiah” last month to some serious critical acclaim. The A.V. Club stated that “The bar for metal album of the year has been raised” and they couldn't be more correct. “Electric Messiah” has landed on both Revolver Magazine and Loudwire’s top albums of 2018 lists.

Hammerfall live in Athens 2018

Going in the club just a shy few minutes after seven, Armored Dawn were already on stage, numerous as they are, a sextet blasting out some pretty standard shouty power metal that might have had the best of intentions, but didn’t quite seem to resonate with most of the fans that were there by this point. Their frontman Eduardo Parras was trying hard to turn the tides, but I am guessing that despite their best intentions and efforts, it all seemed to be a little in vain.

Fifth Angel - The Third Secret

Submitted by rockavlon on Sat, 11/03/2018 - 00:27

Returning after heck 29 years, with an album and having only performed for the public for the second time in 2010 and without the original singer, Fifth Angel is a band that could and should have been big, since the talent that they had in their ranks was phenomenal… and they were on the branch of a multinational (ie Sony’s Epic label) yet mainly due to timing and nonmusical issues were held back.
