Scream Aim Fire-Somewhat softer than The Poison
Well,”Scream Aim Fire” is an album full of surprises,I’ll tell you that.The title track, “Scream Aim Fire”,bangs with a very thrashy,power metallic drum intro.To keep it simple;very Bullety,very thrashy,lots of combos,amazing vocals,no need to say more.Literally a banger!!”Eye of the storm” too keeps the gas pumping,keeps the momentum up,indicating the album is going to be one [...]

The Ten Commandments of Rock Journalism
To start with,being a metal journalist is completely different from being an ordinary music journalist.Unlike the music journalist who would review the latest Jazz album to hit stores,over coffee by the fire,the metal journalist would rather like to find themselves in a pit in Wacken or shouting out “Maiden! Maiden!” alongside another fifty thousand metal-heads at [...]
