Well, grieve no more - Galladorn is here to deliver the heaviest metal for your longing soul. Galladorn is an emerging duo, formed in 2020. To this day this two-piece UK metal outfit has released two exquisite covers for Hammerfall’s “The Dragon Lies Bleeding” and Iced Earth’s “Dark Saga” (duh). But today we are going to highlight the band’s latest instalment entitled “The Cauldron Born”. This is a classic 5 and minute heavy metal epic, raised on the steady diet of Blind Guardian and Savatage but multiplied b...

        Galladorn – The Dragon Lies Bleeding (Hammerfall Cover) Release Date: November 19th, 2021 Label: Mariana Trench Records Format: single Length: 4:18 Genre: Power Metal Galladorn, a two-piece metal division, has unleashed a mighty furious cover version of a Hammerfall’s classic, Dragon Lies Bleeding. And it’s pure gold! Originally the song sets the highest bar for the genre, introducing the band to the pantheon of Maiden, Savatage and Blind Guardian. So Galladorn had little space to top it, but rather improve - and they did. The song still breathes the classic heavy metal spirit, but now with better sound. Everything is very close to the original, you can call the purist cover reimaging, because there is actually nothing new to the tune, but the production. Technically it’s flawless and I mean it: the guitar tone, the sound, the vocals and drums, it's an instant win on every level imaginable. I cannot imagine anyone who claims to love metal disliking ...

Picture Credit: Ignited Ignited - Steelbound Release Date: November 01, 2019 Label: Voice Music Format: Digital Length: 39:29 Genre: Heavy Metal / Power Metal Origin: Balneário Camboriú , Brazil "Steelbound" was recorded in 2019, two years after South East Brazilian band Ignited were formed. The quartet delivers ten hot tracks of powerful Heavy Metal with classic themes. A strong feature on this album is the massive sound that comes out of the speakers like a wall.The metal played by Ignited s broad, sonorous and heavy. Another striking feature are the vocals which change between melodic deeper chanting and extremely high falsettos. The latter is Heavy Metal as hell! The gang shouts that accompany the vocals from time to time add to the energy of the music on "Steelbound". Somehow it appears, as if the band got stuck in mid-tempo. The variety in speed unfortunately is very low and hence Ignited hardly break out of their sedatively stomping Hard Rock tempo. Thus, de...

Phil Mitchel Band - White Horse Rider Release Date: Noveber 14, 2015 Length: 04:51 Genre: Classic Rock / AOR Origin: Chicago ( Illinois ), USA The “White Horse Rider” is a powerful symbol in past, recent and contemporary imagery. Not to be confused with the White Walkers from Game of Thrones, the “White Horse Rider” has different meanings according to the cultural background there are used in. As the Phil Mitchell Band is from Chicago, Illinois, it is kind of obvious that the band refers to the very first president of the United States of America, George Washington. And hence, the “White Horse Rider” is depicted as a benevolent, prospective, and wise person with two open ears, two open eyes and a strong sense for a bright and happy future. The Phil Mitchell Band is providing us with an epic Classic Rock ballad praising heroic people who are fighting for a better future. The example of George Washington is of course a very American approach to this. But if you regard it figuratively...

Picture Credit: On War On War - End and Means Release Date: January 15, 2021 Label: selfrelease Format: Digital Length: 06:59 Genre: Thrash Metal Origin: Finland On War are a Thrash Metal band from Finland. Their band name was inspired by the novel “Vom Kriege” (German: “On War”), same as the lyrics’ themes. So, is it War Metal? I would not say so. The music that On War play is rather defined by a very rough combination of Thrash Metal Power Metal. You might find some traces of Groove and Death Metal as well. The first release by the Finnish band is the two-track EP “End and Means”. The digital release is quite a good start into the new year. The two songs are defined by a steadily moving rhythm that reminds of the treads of a tank making its way through the tundra. Despite the cold atmosphere on “End and Means”, On War are raging fire. Where this heavy war machine passes by, only rubble and ashes remain. On War present some very exciting playfulness with mood and melody on their debut...
