Text: André, Pics & Video: Aidan and Alex It was already clear beforehand that this Kodex gig would be a special one: The quintet had announced somewhat cryptically via Facebook that after the home show in the Upper Palatinate, a break would follow. Only Trummer, Kreuzer and Co. know how long this break will last. […]
We are always glad when interviews that we publish on the Epic Metal Blog stimulate discussion among our readers. The conversation that my colleagues Anna and Igor had with Manuel Trummer (Atlantean Kodex) provided a lot of food for thought, especially regarding the question of how important the topic of protest is in our genre. […]
The Epic Metal Blog has been around for almost three years now – and we still haven’t published an interview with the best epic metal band of today: Atlantean Kodex.

We continue with our coverage of the Hell’s Heroes festival. Today our reader Michael Thomas Robinson reports on his experiences in Houston. We thank him for the great pictures we are allowed to use for this article. After reading this interview you will realise: Michael has excellent taste in music – and the Epic Metal […]
Today we would like to share with you our first Best of 2022 list. We start with our best live moments – more precisely with our 3 favourite festivals of the year and our 3 favourite concerts (We cheated a bit here, sorry). Basically, it is almost impossible to make a selection, because we have […]
Epic, atmospheric doom metal is the music that usually reaches me the most emotionally. So it should come as no surprise that Thy Listless Heart strike a chord with me with Pilgrims On The Path Of No Return. I am therefore particularly pleased to present to you today an interview with Simon Bibby, the creative […]
