Remember last week when eight year old Juliet released her first hardcore song? Of course you do; you were one of 14 million people (!) who watched her video. Maybe you even bought a Juliet t-shirt (?!?). And remember back in October when a full band of British eight year olds - The Mini Band - [...]

"I'll take Metal Bands for one thousand," The card slipped away and there it was, "Daily Double!" Alex Trebek said, "You have $5,100, Frank, how much do you wish to wager?" I thought for a moment. I was behind the leading contestant by $4,800 and time was running out. "Hell. it's not like it's my money. I've got nothing if I lose. Metal bands, hmmm, should be easy for an old metalhead," so I exclaimed, "All of it, Alex." Trebek raised his eyebrows, cocked his head to [...]

I'm going to put about as much effort into writing this introduction as Jon Leon does to keeping band members in White Wizzard. First up today we have "Cult" from Evile. I think Evile are one of the better re-thrash bands out there, and I like that they now seem to be moving through the [...]

Symfonia - In Paradisum Release date: April 19, 2011 As far as European metal artwork goes, I think is pretty inspiring on a personal level. But even if I wanted to harp on it - this band has members of Stratovarius , Helloween , Sonata Arctica , et. al. - would I really want a bunch of power metal dudes having it in for me?
If you're unfamiliar with 70,000 Tons of Metal, it's pretty much the greatest thing on the planet. Over 5 days, over 2,000 metalheads hop on board a luxury cruise ship for the world's only metal fest on the open seas. Rob and his ragtag bunch of Injection staffers walked on board for the 2011 cruise, ...

Stratovarius Elysium Edel Music 14 January 2011 by Tom Dare There are returns to form, and there is cynically seeking refuge in the time people liked you and bought your records that leave you rather cold. With this, their thirteenth album, Stratovarius have firmly and triumphantly returned to form in the best possible way. Time [...]
Poland, Scandinavia, Russia and the U.S. provide this week's power metal.
Desde la marcha de Timo Tolkki -uno de sus componentes fundadores y, para mí, uno de sus pilares básicos- en 2008, Stratovarius no ha vuelto a ser el mismo grupo que sirvió de referencia en la escena del power metal mundial. Su último disco Polaris me dejó un tanto indiferente y es que no encontré en él ningún hit que destacase por encima del resto. Casi dos años después, más la gira correspondiente, la banda ha tenido más tiempo para encontrar su nuevo sonido. ¿Lo habrá conseguido en [...]
Slow blues, Jazz-fusion care of Zappa and some modern metal that ain't half bad.
