    STRATOVARIUS – Enigma: Intermission II

    It feels strange to discuss a compilation in regards to a new album but it seems that Stratovarius has put a considerable amount of work into what could have been a bullshit compilation release. Hold on, lets go back. Stratovarius is a Finnish power metal group who has...

  • BOUND BY FLAMEBOUND BY FLAME
    Does anyone remember “Of Orcs and Men”? It was, aside from being a totally mediocre game from small-time games company “Spiders”, one of my earliest and most mediocre reviews. It’s also a game I swore to forget, hence my beginning this review with a question. I think it was probably a poorly-written slipshod effort whose flighty moments of interest were overtaken in an arid, un-inspired badland by the twin demons of poor writing and inconsistent design. That could, of course, be because that’s what their latest game is like, and...

  • A SOUND OF THUNDER – Time’s ArrowA SOUND OF THUNDER – Time’s Arrow
    Fair warning. I have had a lot of problems with female vocals. While this sounds like a large blanket statement, female vocals within the realm of heavy metal, personally, are usually met with me poking a fork at it while sitting sullen at the dinner table. To be honest, I enjoy female metal vocals when growled, shrieked, and even gurgled. Additionally, I enjoy female vocals pretty much anywhere else aside from heavy metal. Clean female metal vocals however are different. There is something about the symphonic female tempo which is...

    As we approach the fourth Peplum review it is important to note that we will be skipping in continuity. I understand that the adventures of Hercules, played by different actors and with non connecting storylines, may already feel disconnected, but for the sanctity of criticism we will mention the break in sequence. Ercole al Centro della Terra, translated Hercules in the Center of the Earth but for some reason titled, Hercules in the Haunted World, is the 6th film released in the Hercules series. Our hero is played by another...

    I was somewhat hesitant when I first began to review epic metal. It is not that I do not love taking up arms and charging headlong into the front line of whatever goblin ranks stand in my way, rather that I have never actively listened to vast amounts of power and folk metal. So far it has been going along swimmingly and by the end of listening to The Wandering Midget’s newest record From The Meadows of Opium Dreams, I think I have found a comfortable station in life.
