Orden Ogan are the most promising band of the new power metal generation. After achieving international breakthrough with ‘To The End’ (2012), the German band now delivers their most impressive piece of work, an album that was in the making for more than a full year: ‘Ravenhead’. The result is more than impressive, as Orden Ogan continue to refine their formula of combining traditional power metal with a meaty up-to-date sound. ‘Ravenhead’ is the band’s most accessible and powerful record to date, displaying maturity, effective and rich songwriting, a huge production and the special something that only few bands possess. All eleven tracks on this exceptional album will convince traditional metal worshippers and fans of newer sounds alike.

The band Vexillum saw the light in 2004 in Pisa (Italy) from an idea of the guitar player Michele Gasparri. After some months, the singer Dario Vallesi joined in, replacing Michele at the Vocals and letting him focusing only on the six-chord shredding. “Unum” is a concept album, where Dario, as principal character, is accompanied through his quest by other singers that are Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian) as “The Sentenced”, Chris Bay (Freedom Call) playing “The Jester”, Maxi Nil (Jaded Star, ex Visions of Atlantis) returning as the Lady Thief, after being the Flame on The Bivouac’s “The Oak and Lady Flame” and Mark Boals (Malmsteen, Iron Mask, Ring of Fire) acting like “The Hermit”.

Steamhammer are set to start into the new year 2015 with a new promising US Metal band: Hailing from the city of Ventura an hour north of Los Angeles, Night Demon is a classic metal trio consisting of Jarvis Leatherby (bass, vocals), Brent Woodward (guitars) and Dustin Kithcart (drums) . The band has completed work on their debut full-length album Curse Of The Damned, featuring eleven brand new original tracks, and is slated for an early 2015 release on January 14 (Scandinavia), January 16 (Germany) and January 19 (rest of Europe) as CD, LP and download.

U.D.O. are the epitome of German metal! The band around iconic vocalist Udo Dirkschneider (ex-Accept) has just completed their 15th studio album, titled “Decadent”. Once again U.D.O. were able to create a masterful new longplayer which combines powerful, traditional heavy metal with an up-to-date sound. This recipe has worked very well for the band in the past already, most recently on 2013’s “Steelhammer” album, which became a bestseller and hugely celebrated by fans and press alike. “Decadent” surprisingly raises the bar by another notch and became one of U.D.O.’s finest works ever. The album was produced by Udo Dirkschneider and Mattes Pfeiffer (Redhead Audio Productions, Wilhelmshaven) in collaboration with Fitty Wienhold - just like the team worked for „Steelhammer“.

This is possibly on the list of best rock albums of 2014, and that's no exaggeration. Starset sure has come a long way to making their first debut album. They sure got noticed very well on the radio with songs such as "My Demons" and "Carnivore", which boosted their popularity very vastly. Two of the best radio songs of 2013 "My Demons" as well as Gemini Syndrome's "Stardust" sure helped both of these bands out, as botch showed off their album.

Считаются основателями жанра ню-метал. Они заложили основы музыки, являющейся смесью гранжа, фанка и грув-метала, к которым зачастую добавлялся индастриал и хип-хоп. После того, как по всему миру было продано более 3 миллионов копий их дебютного одноимённого альбома, изданного в 1994 году, Korn стали одной из самых продаваемых тяжёлых групп за последнее десятилетие, на 2013 продано свыше 10 миллионов копий их дебютного альбома во всём мире. В дискографии группы 11 студийных альбомов, акустический альбом MTV Unplugged и множество сборников с неизданными, живыми записями или каверами.

"Edge Of The Earth" второй полноформатный студийный альбом британской метал-группы из Рединга SYLOSIS, выпущенный в 2011 году на лейбле Nuclear Blast.

SYLOSIS are a forward thinking UK thrash metal band. Hailing from Reading, SYLOSIS set out to create a modern, epic new take on the old school thrash metal blueprint. The bands sound is comprised of fast, aggressive riffing, thunderous drumming, intricate guitar lines, shredding solos, fierce vocals and haunting ambience.
SYLOSIS’ debut album “Conclusion Of An Age” - set for release October 24th via Nuclear Blast - is a mammoth display of how modern metal should be done. The album twists and turns in every direction, one moment brutally aggressive, then blissfully epic the next. Lyrically, the album deals with many subjects but although this is by no means a concept album, the most prevalent theme is the idea of a struggle between mankind and the planet and how inevitably, nature will reclaim the earth. With climate change being a growing concern for all, the album really strikes a nerve.

A mere four years have passed since Sylosis' inception and they’re already on the cusp of releasing their third record – Monolith; an ambitious concept album from the young English quartet.
The almost 20 minute epic closer may very well be the jewel in the crown of Monolith; imagine the sound of the four horsemen of the apocalypse meets the undead spirit of 80’s thrash. Here’s a composition that weaves energetic and progressive technical chapters with delicate and emotive melodic tangents; complete with a two and a half minute interval, naturally. Beautifully innovative and covertly stylish, this truly is balls-to-the-wall metal in 2012. If you’ve never heard of Sylosis, you’re very, very late to the party; this is one of the greatest British metal bands of our time. For Christ’s sake.

Hailing from the UK, SYLOSIS is back with their fourth Nuclear Blast album “Dormant Heart”. It comes in with 12 tracks and is just under an hour of brutal and aggressive listening time.
“Dormant Heart” is not dormant by any stretch of the imagination. It is hard, it is aggressive, and it is a truth. The melody, the harmony, the impressiveness SYLOSIS has as a band; it is all here in “Dormant Heart”. This is without a doubt one of the best of the year.
