We close this week’s coverage of Hell’s Heroes with an article and great photos from Marcus Hettlage, who travelled all the way from Germany to Texas to experience this terrific festival – a second time. (Feature image: Greyhawk) André: Where are you from? And how long did you travel to get to the festival location? […]
In the fifth part of our coverage of Hell’s Heroes, for the first time a musician who was on stage himself has his say: Rüsty, whom many of you know from his other band Fer de Lance, was able to rock the fans in Houston with Midnight Dice. Rüsty kindly provided us with the pictures […]
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 […]
On 24 and 25 March 2023, the 5th edition of the Hell’s Heroes festival took place in Houston. The billing included numerous bands that are among the main Epic Metal Blog favourites: Morgul Blade, Gatekeeper, Spell, Visigoth and many more. Since a lot of our readers are based in North America, it made perfect sense […]

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. So it’s only fitting […]
It’s only appropriate to conclude our Epic Metal Blog Birthday Special with a trip to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is the home of the band whose debut album Aidan chose as his album of the year in 2021: Morgul Blade!
