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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

Release: 03/06/2022 Don’t Drop The Sword is undoubtedly one of the bands with whom the Epic Metal Blog has a very special relationship: If you take a look at our history, you will notice that the last output of the German epic speed metal formation, the single Prophecies Carved in Sand, was one of the […]
As you know, we want to use our blog first and foremost to introduce you to talented young artists. One of them is undoubtedly Max Pfaff, guitarist of the German epic speed metal band Don’t Drop The Sword. Last year, he dedicated himself for the first time to solo projects under the name Pfaff, which […]
Text: André, Pictures: Vinylian English version below Anmerkung: In diesem Beitrag steht die Musik im Fokus. Über alles andere habe ich bereits an anderer Stelle geschrieben. Wenn mir im November 2020 jemand gesagt hätte, dass das Logo unseres Blogs eines Tages auf einem Veranstaltungsflyer auftauchen würde, hätte ich ihn wohl für ziemlich verrückt gehalten. Dank […]
While we are collecting thoughts for our live report on the Epic Metal Night from last Friday, I would like to say a few basic words about “concerts in times of crisis”. Aidan and I already agreed on Friday that we would present you with a rather sober article without the usual “feel-good pictures“. We […]
Vor 1 Monat haben Crom mit Into the Glory Land eine großartige EP veröffentlicht, die Aidan und ich jeweils auf Platz 2 in unserer EP-Jahreswertung gewählt haben.
