Release: 01/07/2022 I have already written several times on this blog that Lord Vigo is one of the greatest metal bands Germany currently has to offer: The outfit from Landstuhl, Rhineland-Palatinate, was founded in 2014 and has both an unmistakable style and an impeccable discography. This will not change in 2022, even if the current […]
Also this Sunday we dedicate ourselves to Manilla Road and Mark Shelton. This time Chris Latta from Indianapolis has his say. Many of you know him as a reviewer, but certainly also as a member of various bands. He currently sings for the doom outfit Lavaborne – we wish you an exciting read! André: When […]
In the 42nd part of our big Manilla Road Special, the Swede Peter Svensson, who is currently active in the international epic doom metal band Anchorite, has his say. André: Would you classify Manilla Road as an important source of inspiration for your music? Peter: I would definitely say so, from the more straightforward metal […]
After a little break, it’s time again to continue our Manilla Road Special. Today we are happy to present you an interview with Marko Novaković, the drummer of our Serbian friends Claymorean. Have fun reading! André: When did you first come across Manilla Road in your life? Marko: I think it was 2017 or 2018. I was […]

But I’ll even raise it to 3:0 […]
Release: 03/06/2022 As the hottest day of the year so far is predicted for this Saturday, at least in Germany, it makes sense to check out one or two records that might be suitable as a summer soundtrack. This is where the Swedes Pressure come in, whose promo landed in my mailbox some time ago. […]
Text: André; Pics: Aidan & Christoph If someone had told me a few weeks ago that I would be attending a Manowar club concert in mid-June with my two Epic Metal Blog colleagues Aidan and Christoph, I probably would have laughed out loud. But sometimes things happen that no one expects and that even, when […]
English version below Heute widmen wir uns mal einem Genre, das auf unserem Blog eher selten beleuchtet wird: Power Folk! Ihr könnt euch darunter nichts vorstellen?

Release: 20/05/2022 If you want to put together a doom festival at the moment that features the most exciting newcomer bands of today, you have to look towards Croatia: Thanks to Elusive God, this Balkan gem is playing in the top league of this genre.

Release: 13/05/2022 There is no question that man will eventually perish from his hubris. The conviction that we can tame nature and exploit it as we please will inevitably lead to our downfall.
