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 […]
To celebrate our second birthday, we held a tournament on Instagram from the end of September to 6 November, in which 64 albums that had played a role on our blog to date took part. In a very exciting final, our readers chose Morgul Blade‘s amazing debut Fell Sorcery Abounds, released in 2021, as their […]
Text: André, Pics & Videos: Aidan Even in your middle age, you can still get to know new concert venues in the Ruhr region that appeal to you right away. The rather alternative, cosy youth and cultural centre Emscherdamm is not located in the centre of Oberhausen, but even late at night this is not […]
Release: 22/04/2022 As announced, we present you two reviews of this album. Today it’s Aidan’s turn. In order to create a perfect record, a timeless piece of art, it is in my opinion is essential that it has an overarching atmosphere which in itself is conclusive and consummate. Due to this it is hardly surprising […]
You didn’t seriously think there would be an Epic Metal Blog Birthday Special for Aidan without Ryghär? If you did, you don’t know our blog that well… There is hardly any other band that my friend and colleague has been so intensively dealing with since the beginning of his blogging career.

As he did shortly after the founding of this blog, Klauf (vocals, guitars, synth) answered our […]
Release: 17/03/2022 Knight and Gallow came to our attention back in 2020, when the guys from Sacramento released their promising demo Men of the West. At the time, I was particularly taken with the title track – you really can’t go wrong with epic heavy metal that is lyrically set in Middle Earth. With For […]

Besides the quality factor, the “surprise factor” is especially important to us. Bands that appear on the scene out of nowhere are therefore particularly interesting for us in this context. […]
Release: 26/11/2021 English version below Morgul Blade gehören zu den zahllosen obskuren Bands, die ich dank Aidan schon eine Weile kenne. Wer mehr über die Jungs aus Philadelphia wissen möchte, sollte sich einmal das ausführliche Interview durchlesen, das mein Freund und Kollege vor fast genau einem Jahr mit ihnen für den Epic Metal Blog geführt […]
The last couple of years have revealed tons of very exciting young bands. This is epecially true for the vast lands of the US.
