The Unforgiving is the fifth studio album by Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation, released by Roadrunner Records on 29 March 2011. It was a concept album as one part of a transmedia storytelling project, which accompanied the release of three short films and a series of six comic books. The album followed the band's pattern of incorporating new musical elements on each release, this time marking a major transition point for the band and featuring more pop and 80s influences. Lyrically, the band focused on telling a story with specific characters, also present in the films and comic books.

Весь материал очень разнообразен и интересен. Грубо говоря, песни представлены в двух ритмах – быстрые и чудовищно медленные, прямо в думовом ключе. При более тщательном прослушивании группа ошарашивает тем, что многие гитарные партии – это передернутые и изуродованные классические хард-роковые, а то и блюзовые партии, помноженные на грайндовую агрессию. Да-да. Именно с этого альбома мы слышим порой откровенно стоунеровские риффы. Что-то вроде позднего Cathedral. Хотел бы я узнать список музыкальных фаворитов Дона Кочино (гитара). А песня «Games of Humiliation» сражает наповал своим полу акустическим финалом с надрывными стонами вокалиста! Вокал на альбоме предельно ироничен, ядовит и разнообразен, да еще и тянет в унисон музыке.

Прослушав весь альбом, до мозга костей проникаешься атмосферой, которую создают лихие ветры PRIMORDIAL. Название пластинки означает посвящение безымянным мертвым, павшим на полях сражений, закончившим жизнь на виселице, и вообще многим, кто пожертвовал собой ради высоких идей или захлебнулся в волнах тирании. Музыка ирландцев неповторима и уникальна – она навивает тревогу и беспокойство, но вместе с тем монолитна и гармонична. Риффы входят в резонанс с ментальными волнами человека и заставляют вдумываться.

Итак, альбом получился жёстче и минималистичнее, нежели их предыдущий "Spirit the Earth Aflame" и совсем уж сильно отличается от того фолк-дума на "Journey's End", главным образом из-за большего акцентирования блэковой составляющей... В итоге по духу мы имеем фолковый ирландский "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss"... Хотя такое сравнение ни коим образом не может точно охарактеризовать сей альбом, ибо аналогов здесь найти просто невозможно. Звук на альбоме стал более мясистым и жёстким, что меня в общем-то удивило, т. к. альбом писался в легендарной Academy Studio,

Ирландцы Primordial издали свой первый альбом еще в 1995-м, но переиздание в России настигло его только 14 лет спустя. За прошедшее время материал хоть и не стал классическим, лишним в биографии коллектива абсолютно точно не смотрится. «Imrama» справедливо относят к неординарным, исключительным произведениям своего времени. На десяти дорожках оригинального диска – узнаваемый Primordial: возвышенный, трагичный, никуда не спешащий, сочетающий в себе блэк-металическую колкость с эмоциональностью и пафосом, характерным для пэган-металической сцены. На данном диске материал еще немного сумбурен и от того только более очарователен, что, возможно, делает его наиболее подходящим для знакомства с отнюдь не самой простой и «доступной» командой. Ведь не зря ирландцы метко назвали свою первую демо-запись «Dark Romanticism», что как нельзя точно подходит для описания их музыки взамен тривиального «doom/pagan».

BIFF BYFORD’S SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS DUE FEBRUARY 21ST 2020. Legendary Saxon frontman releases first solo album Free, tough, uncompromising and supremely obdurate, the English North is everything you saw in Game of Thrones and more. It is the true heart of England, the region where its soul resides, and Biff Byford has earned the right to be considered its true heavy metal bard. The legendary Saxon frontman takes on not just tales and stories from his heart and soil, but also investigates the Middle Ages and Medieval history overall in his first ever solo album. Recorded by Jacky Lehmann at Brighton Electric Studios and mixed by Matts Valentin at Queens Street Studio in Stockholm, the album was produced by Biff Byford, vocals, with Fredrik Akesson on guitars, Christian Lundqvist on drums and Gus Macricostas on bass guitar. The album also features guest appearances from Phil Campbell, Nick Baker, Alex Holzwart and Dave Kemp. In all senses a classic, masterfully-constructed old school British hard rock album School of Hard Knocks is every aural inch a Byford storybook highlighting his passionate interests. From the spoken word of “Inquisitor” leading into the metaltation on the Spanish Inquisition of “The Pit and Pendulum” to the autobiographical, old-school ‘wheels of steal’ era thrust of the title track, you’ll get to know Byford supremely well over the 11 tracks which comprise School of Hard Knocks. School of Hard Knocks is destined to be one of the biggest, most entertaining metal-plated surprises of 2020.

Inimitable singer Russell Allen (Symphony X, Adrenaline Mob) and acclaimed Swedish guitarist, songwriter, and producer Magnus Karlsson (Primal Fear, Magnus Karlssons Free Fall) have collaborated successfully on three critically acclaimed albums where Russell dueted with Norwegian singer, Jorn Lande. After a break in their collaboration on said albums, where Timo Tolkki stepped in and oversaw an album, Magnus has returned to the fold, but with an exciting new twist to the formula. This time, Russell and Magnus welcome none other than the amazingly talented Anette Olzon (ex-Nightwish, The Dark Element) to the fold as Allens vocal partner and offer up an unbelievable new duets album.

He is one of the personifications of international heavy metal: with his distinctive voice, Udo Dirkschneider has been creating legendary rock anthems since the 80s. Nearly five decades on the world stage have made him an icon.
Despite a long history and the many ups and downs that rock life brings, Udo Dirkschneider continues to rewrite his own history in an amazing way. The same is true this year.
The new album of his band U.D.O. "Touchdown" was released on August 25. And once again, the title speaks for itself. Because just as in American football a "touchdown" means an important goal for players and teams, the same can be said about Udo Dirkschneider.

U.D.O. has been on a hot streak lately, ever since the early 2000's band ran out of steam with "Rev Raptor" and "Dominator" he reshuffled the deck and got some new players in, it reinvigorated the band. How this man can still churn out such consistantly good Heavy Metal music is a wonder. Hot on the heels of the excellent "Steelfactory" and "We Are One" comes this embarrassment of riches, yes, it runs for more than an hour but after about three listens you realise there is no fat here, every track deserves it's place. There is a strong 80's Accept feel to this album but I enjoy U.D.O. better than the current Accept as it is a lot more fun and his voice sounds fantastic here, as good as it ever was.

По словам Удо Диркшнайдера, объединяющий посыл альбома — показать, что если человечество не изменит свое поведение во многих аспектах, нас ждут непоправимые катастрофические последствия.
Диркшнайдер бьет в самый корень проблем. Если человечество не переосмыслит некоторые аспекты, это может иметь фатальные последствия. Например, сингл "Kids And Guns" рассказывает об увеличении продаж оружия и слабом регулировании оружейной промышленности в США, что также приводит к более высокому уровню насилия с применением оружия среди детей и подростков.

This is now the third release from Serious Black that I have reviewed within the pages of manofmuchmetal.com and it is safe to say that the results have been rather varied. 2017’s ‘Magic’ scored highly, as it delivered a very positive and enjoyable slab of melodic heavy metal. ‘Suite 226’, their 2020 offering didn’t hit the same level in my opinion and was ultimately rather disappointing. Always one to maintain an air of optimism, I refused to just turn my back on the band. Instead, I have checked out their sixth full-length release, ‘Vengeance Is Mine’, and have decided to bring you my thoughts on it subsequently.
