 ANACHRONAEON – The Oracle and the Keyholder

Stygian Crypt Productions

ANACHRONAEON is a band from Sweden that has been around for over a decade now and if we count the band’s existence under different monikers then we have to add a few more years. Why am I mentioning this in the beginning? Simply because I want to state that this is a veteran band that has had its time to form its sound and approach.

I have presented to you recently the solo work of the virtuoso guitarist Gabriele Bellini. He is a guitarist that moves in all the genres of rock and metal and because of that he has a sound full of variety. This release as you can notice from the title is based on the acoustic guitar and as the artist says, this is an album that he composed in a short time and more specifically in a month because of his inspiration. So let us see what this new album is all about.

LACUNA COIL - Broken Crown Halo review

 LACUNA COIL - Broken Crown Halo

Century Media Records

My first introduction to the band was with this album. The first 3-4 listens to I thought was all right, then I put it back on the shelf thinking "I'm going to let this one sit for a while." Well, after about a month of it staying on the shelf not being listened to, I began to grow strikingly into it. I'll tell you why... it's not because it's anything too fancy, though as I grew more into the reasoning why they put words to the music, I was drawn into it wholeheartedly. It's an album and concept that just grew on me. This band has been around for quite a while and just getting into them well I'm in, big time. I don't care what the album is rated by others because I think they did metal justice with this album.

DARK QUARTERER – Ithaca review

DARK QUARTERER is a band that I deeply appreciate. I think that it is a band that if it came from countries like England or Germany or the U.S. they could have made a huge name and following. The good thing though is that quality doesn’t depend on how famous you are. The band from Italy which started back in the 80’s has released its new album under the title “Ithaca”. This is an album which has a strong Greek scent and I don’t mean only the island Ithaca which is the title of it. Actually DARK QUARTERER seem to be a band with deep culture and their new album is a concept based on the poem Ithaca of the great Greek poet Constantine Kavafis. This is a poem that draws inspiration from the Odyssey, but it has a strong symbolism. In a few words this poem means that everything you do does not depend on how it will be in the end. It doesn’t depend on the final result, but the whole process from the start till the end is the essence of life in everything we do. I think you should check out this great poem and make up your own mind, but now let us talk about the new album of the legends DARK QUARTERER.

I think that the phrase there is only good and bad music is quite accurate, but also accurate is the statement that there is music I enjoy and music that I don’t. The album of Alessandro includes music that doesn’t belong to my taste, but for this reason only it would be unfair not to present it as it deserves. So, with respect to the work and the effort of the artist I will try to do my best to present this release and hope that he will excuse me for my lack of knowledge and understand that I didn’t do that on purpose.

TENTATION – Tentation review

 TENTATION – Tentation

Inferno Records

There are many temptations in the world we live in and each one of us can’t resist some of them. Traditional heavy metal is a temptation that I personally can’t resist. I always want to listen to more and I am especially happy when I find out a new good band in the genre. TENTATION which by the way in French means temptation were created in 2012 and they have set as their goal to create heavy metal songs that continue the music tradition of the French scene. This is their new release and I am very happy to present it to you….
