Battle Beast: Battle Beast

BATTLE BEAST: BATTLE BEAST
   If this album was anymore powerful, you would need a licence to own it. What a Beast this album is, its claws dig deep into your skin within the first few seconds of opening track, "Let It Roar". Every track is amazing and unique, even the instrumental sections are breathtakingly impressive.
   The unhallowed unity of metallic riffing and atmospheric keyboards, creates a jaw-dropping spectacle. It seems that Battle Beast have taken elements of Judas Priest and Helloween, added a sprinkle of their own creative magnificence, and created an album to contest for supremacy as the best Heavy Metal album of the century.
   Battle Beast do nothing by half measures. The guitar solos are show stealing displays of masterful musicianship. The vocals can range from slashing screams and wild wails, to throat scratching snarls and haunting howls.
   Tracks like "Out Of Control" and "Fight, Kill, Die", wield the muscular vocals and finger splitting solos that would turn a mosh pit into frenzy of hair and fists, while tracks like "Kingdom" focus less on speed and more on power. The albums highlight however, has to be the awe inspiring "Neuromancer". It contains all of the styles and sounds that make power and Heavy Metal the institutions of brilliance that they are.
   If you're a fan of Sabaton or Helloween, then you will love Battle Beast, but really there is no reason why anyone would dislike this album. In fact, its fair to say that Battle Beast, are destined for huge success, And albums of this quality will certainly strengthen their legacy.

EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA

  EXODUS: PERSONA NON GRATA         The Thrash Metal hierarchy has long been constructed around the mainstream success of the American "Big Four", dwarfing their peers outside of the clique with their mass popularity and stratospheric record sales. Thanks to bands such as Exodus, Testament and Overkill, a revolution has begun. The most recent releases from those bands comprising the Big Four have been good at best, while the latest albums from these previously mentioned outsiders have been breathtakingly excellent.    Persona Non Grata is a crushingly heavy slab of solid Thrash Metal. Gary Holt and fellow guitarist Lee Altus whip up a veritable storm of crunchy, Thrashing, whiplash-inducing riffs from start to finish. A superhuman barrage of drum battery is unleashed by Tom Hunting, accompanied by Jack Gibson's booming, thundering and raking bass notes. All the while Steve Souza sings, screams and snarls like a rabid and possessed vocal maestro....

MASSACRE: RESURGENCE

  MASSACRE: RESURGENCE      Like the walking dead, Massacre just keep coming back time after time. Refusing to stay down, this band simply won't die. To survive, Massacre takes on a new form every ascension, this time they have re-emerged as the Kam Lee band, with the legendary vocalist being the most consistent and regular member of the band over the years and through the numerous reformations.   The Massacre that we are faced with here on Resurgence could be considered as something of a Death-Metal supergroup. Comprising the band alongside Kam Lee; we have Mike Borders on bass guitar whom was previously a member of the band for short spell in the mid 1980's, alongside Jonny Pettersson of Wombbath (and countless other bands and projects) and Rogga Johansson of Paganizer (and possibly even more bands and projects than Jonny) on guitars, Brynjar Helgetun on drums, and Memoriam's resident riff-lord Scott Fairfax providing lead guitar. United this band of talented ...

NO NONSENSE METAL REVIEWS: THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2021

  NO NONSENSE METAL REVIEWS: THE TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2021     Despite lockdowns, travel restrictions and the cancellation of normality as a result of an ever present global pandemic, 2021 has been a very healthy year for heavy music. With the cancellation and indefinite postponement of tours, festivals and live music in general, bands and artists have been forced to explore alternative avenues and express their artistic visions and passions in other ways. The down time away from the road has left bands with schedules empty enough to write and record new material, some of which has proven to be exceptionally strong new albums, EPs and compilations. The phenomena of the "lockdown live album" as well as live streaming events and virtual concerts have also become a commonplace staple in many band's discography, showing defiantly that COVID-19 and the consequent restrictions enforced will never suffocate the breath of creativity or shroud the light of the soul. Making the be...
