New Release Highlight: White Magician – Dealers of Divinity Review
Dealers of Divinity is a breath of fresh air into the modern heavy metal scene and does valuable work in morphing the sonic mold of modern heavy metal before it hardens and stagnates.

New Release Highlight: Eternal Champion – Ravening Iron Review
I can still safely say that Ravening Iron is primed to be my album of the year. Eternal Champion are one of the best active bands in traditional metal right now and this is simply another testament why.

New Release Highlight: Wytch Hazel – III: Pentecost Review
It is not easy to follow up a release like II: Sojourn and Wytch Hazel did it with grace.

Demo Dungeon: Whetstone – Ancient Metal Review
Just one look at the cover of the demo tape tells us everything we need to know. Scanning the artwork, you see an all black and blood-red aesthetic featuring a medieval warrior sitting upon a throne. Your eyes are drawn to the words “WHETSTONE” and “ANCIENT METAL”. Now I see something like this and it immediately gives me a certain expectation of the band’s sound and luckily, Ancient Metal sounds exactly like it looks.

Classics Appreciation: Witchfinder General – Death Penalty Review
What Witchfinder General does is that they fuse the bludgeoning, lumbering violence of Sabbath with the deceptively-lithe athleticism & agility of what the other NWOBHM bands were doing at the time
