We are always happy to present you playlists on our platform that befriended artists have put together for us. There will be many more of them in 2023! We start today with a very tasteful compilation by Pete Salatellis, guitarist for classic heavy metal band Zodiak, based in Montreal, Canada. Since Pete’s musical tastes are […]
Today we continue with our Best of 2022 series. This time, the focus is on our favourite songs. Two notes on this: There is no particular order here. In addition, we offer you a Tidal and a Spotify playlist this time. We continue to believe that Spotify’s market power is far too great and that […]
Today we would like to share our favourite artworks from the year 2022 with you in our Best of series. In the brackets you always find the name of the artist. Aidan 1. Horn – Verzet (Timon Kokott) 2. Dark Forest – Ridge & Furrow (Christian Horton) 3. Fer de Lance – The Hyperborean (Adam Burke) André […]
We continue with our Best of lists, which – as you can see – look a little different this year than they have recently: We have decided to avoid rankings and just present our top releases. When we show you our top albums, we will also write a short text for each record to explain […]

Release: 30/09/2022 If I were to draw a life motto out of the music accompanying me through this journey called life, it would probably be the verse “Searching for a distant chilhood dream“ taken from the song “On the Edge of Twilight” from Dark Forest‘s unexcelled fourth album Beyond the Veil. Having lived on the […]
Today we start the 38th round of our Manilla Road Special with Brandon Corsair, guitarist for Serpent Rider, among others. We hope you enjoy reading his very interesting answers. André: When did you first come across Manilla Road in your life? Brandon: As a young teenager, I was not particularly into anything other than extreme […]
It’s about time to continue our section Discography Check, which we started a year ago. We kick off with a band that means a lot to us: Seven Sisters. With this little feature, the Epic Metal Blog also thanks these artists for their just completed European tour, where they absolutely captivated many fans. We hope you […]
Release: 04/02/2022 If you look at the band name, the cover art and the song titles, you know: Knight’s Oath fit perfectly on the Epic Metal Blog. And – I anticipate – musically we also get our money’s worth. Even if I have something to complain about – but more about that in a moment. […]
