Diamond Head – Diamond Head review
Messrs Mustaine and Hetfield will no doubt salivate at the trashy Shout At The Devil. It’s assaulting pace and fist-yielding chorus will leave you in no doubt why the band are held in such high esteem in the thrash metal genre.
Saxon – Eagles and Dragons box set review
Lights, Camera, Saxon!
Interview with Metal Legend and Saxon Vocalist Biff Byford aka Lionheart

Banshee – Mind Slave Review
I was already a big fan of George Call, and the work he has done here is some of the best in his career. His vocal approach is in the DIO mould, but he also manages to channel Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson, Tony Martin and others…
Tank – War Nation Review
the band have created something here that still pays plenty of tribute to their sound of old, but also steers a little closer to a traditional melodic metal sound, something that much better suits White’s vocal style…
Huntress – Spell Eater Review
HUNTRESS have accomplished something a little special here with SPELL EATER, and I think in all fairness they have the right sound to escape the ‘female-fronted metal’ tag…
