I bet that when someone hears about a new metal super-group their mind goes to ill-fated releases by some really hot metal names. It’s true that I don’t have the best opinion about the so called super-groups, either. But before we throw all efforts to the recycle bin we must first hear what they have to say. That was the case with Reverence. I approached them with caution at first but then I was floored by the musicianship and the metal quality of the album.
As the frontman of Queensryche, he has sold over 20 million records and received four Grammy nominations.
With an undeniable musical history including fourteen studio albums, GEOFF TATE will release his sophomore solo album on October 29th 2012. Appropriately titled "Kings & Thieves", this will be TATE's first solo album in more than a decade and his debut release for InsideOut Music.
Shadow Kingdom Records has announced that ALTAR OF OBLIVION's "Grand Gesture of Defiance" will be released on September 11, 2012.
Label owner Tim McGrogran has this to say about the album:
Swedish doom metal icons WITCHCRAFT have revealed the cover art of the band's forthcoming album, "Legend", which marks the bands first after a long 5 year hiatus.
Commented singer/mainman Magnus Pelander: "A friend of mine had an idea about a cover for "Legend". I developed the idea and gave it back to my friend who then passed it on to another friend who happened to be a designer. The designer then pushed it in a new direction. The result is already legendary".

Oh dear, god, why ME? I suppose the masochist in me, was seeking some kind of punishment, probably to make amends for whatever crimes, I may have ever done, so I sought out the task to review the latest Manowar album. Now to some this might have brought joy, while to others it might have seemed dismal, but I must say that in the past, I did indeed enjoy, Joey De Maio & Co’s works, however simplistic and cringe worthy they might have been, since they were both pretty honest and actually catchy, in their simplicity - but above all else, because Eric Adams, was able to just “cough” - and make it sound EPIC.
