Winterhorde are one of those bands that when one hears them has to be impressed. This Israel based band offers fans a second album, and an exciting concept album that is stand alone impressive with the lyrics/ story just as much as it is with the music at hand… which is some very decent melodic black metal that stands out from the...

Symphorce is one of those melodic power metal bands who after some time, and much to fan chagrin, suddenly makes a turn around and tries something a bit different.

While there has been plenty of attention to bands such as Behemoth and Vader, this four-piece group do all they can to let the fans (and world) know that they are still active and ready to take on the metal world ever since 1991. It has been some time since anyone has...
