Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/inhuman-condition-mind-trap-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Inhuman Condition – Mind Trap Review</a></p><p><i>By Tyme</i></p><p><strong><span>Inhuman Condition</span></strong><span> has been repping 90s-era Floridian death metal since 2020. Comprised of former </span><strong><span>Massacre</span></strong><span> members Jeramie Kling, Taylor Nordberg, and Terry Butler, </span><strong><span>Inhuman Condition</span></strong><span>‘s debut, </span><em><span>Rat°God</span></em><span>, was the best thing </span><strong><span>Massacre</span></strong><span> never recorded post </span><em><span>From Beyond</span></em><span>, garnering a 3.5 from our overlord and hater of over raters, </span><span><strong>Steel</strong></span><span>. Presumably rushed was 2022’s sophomore effort, </span><em><span>Fearsick</span></em><span>, which saw </span><strong><span>Inhuman Condition</span></strong><span> take a step backward despite sporting additional guitar appearances from Rick Rozz himself. With a freshly gory, revamped logo by Mark Riddick adorning yet another beautiful cover by Dan Goldsworthy,<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/inhuman-condition-mind-trap-review/#fn-218565-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1</a> </span><strong><span>Inhuman Condition</span></strong><span> returns with its third offering, </span><em><span>Mind Trap</span></em><span>. Will this outing see </span><strong><span>Inhuman Condition</span></strong><span> walk a path of redemption and assume its own identity, or will it stumble again and continue suffering </span><strong><span>Massacre</span></strong><span>‘s curse of ever-diminishing relevance? </span></p><p><span>Eschewing technicality and bouts of blistering speed, </span><strong><span>Inhuman Condition</span></strong><span> remain flagbearers of groovily mid-paced, thrashy death metal. Having simmered for a few years, however, </span><em><span>Mind Trap</span></em><span> feels fully cooked, more akin to </span><em><span>Rat°God </span></em><span>than</span><em><span> Fearsick </span></em><span>as </span><strong><span>Inhuman Condition</span></strong><span> further distance themselves from overt </span><strong><span>Massacre</span></strong><span> clone-ialism. Suffused with a renewed sense of immediacy, Nordberg’s re-energized guitar work features plenty of Rozz dives into the whammy pool (“Severely Lifeless,” “GodShip”), as well as serpentine solos and a multitude of chuggy-chunk riffs (“Chaos Engine,” “Obscurer”). His Royal Bassist, Terry Butler, continues to lay down a fat-bottomed low end that adds weight to Nordberg’s muscular machinations and hangs meatily on the hooks of Kling’s pounderous drumming, whose vocals, too, hit that brutal yet discernible sweet spot. For </span><strong><span>Inhuman Condition</span></strong><span>, simple is as simple does, and though </span><em><span>Mind Trap</span></em><span> adheres smashingly to the groovy, cavemanic formula perpetuated by the likes of </span><strong><span>Six Feet Under</span></strong><span> and </span><strong><span>Jungle Rot</span></strong><span>, it’s got the legs to outrun the pack.</span></p><p></p><p><em><span>Mind Trap</span></em><span>‘s thirty-one-minute runtime whisks you along faster than an In-N-Out Burger drive-thru and is full of bite-size death metal bits, most of them sirloin, but some filet mignon. One such morsel, lyrically penned by </span><strong><span>Cannibal Corpse</span></strong><span>‘s Paul Mazurkiewicz,<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/inhuman-condition-mind-trap-review/#fn-218565-2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">2</a> and an album highlight, “Face for Later” is a viscerally speedy and satisfying death metal romp with up-tempo riffs, crazed solo work, and a chorus that will earworm its way in and haunt your corrupted brain. Also of note are the grower, not show-er riffs and quirky tempos of “The Betterment Plan,” which improved for me with repeated listens, and the mildly atmospheric “Recollections of the Future,” sporting a “King Con”-ic intro and guest vocals from Jonas Kjellgren (</span><strong><span>Carnal Forge</span></strong><span>, </span><strong><span>Scar Symmetry</span></strong><span>). Intact since inception, this stalwart lineup has defied its </span><strong><span>Massacre</span></strong><span>d beginnings through sustained continuity. </span><em><span>Mind Trap</span></em><span> reflects an </span><strong><span>Inhuman Condition</span></strong><span> stepping further into their own, and more importantly, back in a positive direction. </span></p><p><strong><span><br>Inhuman Condition</span></strong><span> once again took up arms and recorded at Smoke & Mirrors Productions, with Kling’s mix and Nordberg’s master suffusing </span><em><span>Mind Trap</span></em><span> in a rich warmth that gives every meaty riff, beefy bass line, and brawny beat the space needed to thrive. Yet, even excellent production cannot overcome limp songwriting, and not all the tracks on </span><em><span>Mind Trap</span></em><span> stand out. With its doomy, <strong>Sabbath</strong>ian trilled intro and straightforwardly speedy and boring midsection, “Mind | Tool | Weapon” did nothing to rouse my fist to pump or my head to bob. Then, the awkward riffs and sloppy guitar runs of “Science of Discontent” came across as amateurish and were not only a poor way to conclude the album but also an example of the material’s inferiority.</span></p><p><span>Unlike </span><strong><span>Gruesome</span></strong><span>, who are happy to release quality albums that mimic their influences, </span><strong><span>Inhuman Condition</span></strong><span> continues to stitch a unique niche in the tapestry of OSDM and, in doing so, leave their </span><strong><span>Massacre</span></strong><span> ties further behind. </span><em><span>Mind Trap</span></em><span> is a fun, not too serious, attention-deficit-friendly death metal album that further exemplifies </span><strong><span>Inhuman Condition</span></strong><span>s growing coalescence. Among this trio’s other projects, of which </span><strong><span>Obituary</span></strong><span> (Butler), </span><strong><span>Deicide</span></strong><span> (Nordberg), and </span><strong><span>Goregäng</span></strong><span> (Nordberg and Kling) are just a few, it seems these guys genuinely enjoy playing together as </span><strong><span>Inhuman Condition</span></strong><span>. </span><em><span>Mind Trap</span></em><span>‘s got plenty to sink your teeth into, and I’m sure songs like “Face for Later” and “Obscurer” will go over well in a live setting. I was glad to hear <strong>Inhuman Condition</strong> returned to form here, and I would recommend you give </span><em><span>Mind Trap</span></em><span> a few spins this summer yourself. </span></p><p></p> <p><strong>Rating</strong>: 3.0/5.0<br><strong>DR</strong>: 11 | <strong>Format Reviewed</strong>: 320kbps mp3<br><strong>Label</strong>: <a href="https://www.hrrecords.de/Home_2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">High Roller Records</a> (Europe)<br><strong>Websites</strong>: <a href="https://inhumancondition.bandcamp.com/album/mind-trap" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a> | <a href="https://www.inhuman-condition.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">InhumanCondition.com</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Inhumanconditionband/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide</strong>: June 27th, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/30/" target="_blank">#30</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/american-death-metal/" target="_blank">#AmericanDeathMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/death-metal/" target="_blank">#DeathMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/high-roller-records/" target="_blank">#HighRollerRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/inhuman-condition/" target="_blank">#InhumanCondition</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/jun25/" target="_blank">#Jun25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/jungle-rot/" target="_blank">#JungleRot</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/massacre/" target="_blank">#Massacre</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/mind-trap/" target="_blank">#MindTrap</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/six-feet-under/" target="_blank">#SixFeetUnder</a></p>

Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/katagory-v-awaken-a-new-age-of-chaos-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Katagory V – Awaken a New Age of Chaos Review</a></p><p><i>By Dolphin Whisperer</i></p><p><strong>Katagory V</strong>, not to be confused with any band called <strong>Category 5</strong> or <strong>Five</strong> or any variation thereof, has been rollicking with power chord and falsetto vocal abandon for the better part of a quarter-century. Not continuously, though, as founding bass-slinger Dustin Mitchell put the riff-train on pause from 2014 to 2023 after struggling to fund the release of 2015’s <em>Resurrect the Insurgence</em>. With roots in a progressive and riff-heavy attitude that mirrored the doom-weighted Swedish power metal sound of (then) contemporaries <strong>Memory Garden</strong> and <strong>Tad Morose</strong> but with a stronger foot in early USPM <em>prog</em>enitors like <strong>Fates Warning</strong> and <strong>Queensrÿche</strong>, <strong>Katagory V</strong> carved a niche within a niche in the American underground. And now with a reunited vigor for overdriven and melodramatic riffcraft, <em>Awaken a New Age of Chaos</em> hopes to stir in wanting loins the tingle of amplified bravado.</p><p><em>Awaken a New Age</em> sees only a couple of line-up shifts from the <strong>Katagory V</strong> early days, with <em>Resurrect</em> vocalist Albert Rybka (<strong>Acracy</strong>, <strong>Empyrean Sanctum</strong>) returning to the mic—his more “modern” prog/power croon had previously shifted the sound towards a big chorus focus. As a band with minds set to reverence for a faded style, <strong>Katagory V</strong>’s emergence in the early ’00s put them beyond the tail end of their target audience, so a little change went a long way. Wielding classic tones, playful rhythms, and meaty guitar drives, the working man, angsty escapades of 2001’s <em>Present Day</em> or 2007’s <em>Hymns of Dissension</em> could have sat comfortably alongside the <strong>Sanctuary</strong> and <strong>Morgana Lefay</strong> CDs in a 12-disc changer with a slot to spare. But with Rypka at the vocal helm, a great world of vocal possibilities held the potential to unfold across <strong>Katagory V</strong>’s earnest and downtrodden societal observations.</p><p>For whatever reason, though, Rypka has chosen the path of the Ripper<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/katagory-v-awaken-a-new-age-of-chaos-review/#fn-216553-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1</a>, often relying on a shaky, low-power talk-sing that bursts into glass-shattering falsetto to imbue this new outing with extra metal force. While the shrill technique has earned a place in the hallowed halls of heavy metal, Rypka’s particular tendency on <em>Awaken </em>to jump from hobbling refrain to cloud-crashing wail derails the midtempo riff-groove of far too many tracks, “Legacy in Blood,” “Night Wing,” and “I Miss You” being the most screechy offenders. The kind of steady-drive prog/power in which <strong>Katagory V</strong> exists depends on a song navigating swiftly through its narrative dips and dives. And though Rypka can pull off plenty of smoother mic-twisting contortions against thrashy accelerations (“Empire of Ignorance,” “Prophet of Sorrow”) and moody, progressive growers (“Through Fate’s Eyes”), his theatrical and treble-abusing antics make continuous enjoyment difficult.</p><p></p><p><strong>Katagory V</strong>, however, glues enough runtime together with a tight rhythmic chemistry, which keeps <em>Awaken</em> from succumbing to its more grating qualities. From the classic piano-to-drum tumble of “Absolution Divide” to the <strong>Iced Earth</strong>-galloping “Blood Siphon” to the <strong>Death</strong>-worshipping bridge of “Prophet of Sorrow,” <strong>Katagory V</strong> can carry a mighty thump and rumble. At their most epic and progressive on “Through Fate’s Eyes” and “Escape to Beyond,” they even approximate the kind of sweeping heavy metal of a power-to-prog transitioning <strong>Fates Warning</strong> in a way few bands attemp in this modern age. Though <em>Awaken</em> doesn’t wear this level of success at every step, the brief walk along this road that reclaims the glory of <strong>Katagory V</strong>’s youth shows that the fire for metal remains.</p><p>As an act like <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/inner-strength-daydreaming-in-moonlight-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Inner Strength</strong></a> has shown, the sounds of the past can live anew in hands dedicated to iteration, refinement, and exploration. With <em>Awaken a New Age of Chaos</em>, the idea of growth within this aged style of heavy, progressive metal from a pre-<strong>Meshuggah</strong> world,<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/katagory-v-awaken-a-new-age-of-chaos-review/#fn-216553-2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">2</a> leans far closer to a thoughtfully executed jam session of remembered riffs than it does towards finding its own brand of melancholy. <strong>Katagory V</strong> never, unfortunately, got the chance to make much of a mark in the annals of the developing prog frontier. And while a grander level of success is normal in the dreams of hopeful musicians—and in light of <em>Awaken a New Age of Chaos</em> not being likely to accelerate their ascension—<strong>Katagory V</strong> can still stand proud with their dusty contributions to the history of the Utah underground.</p><p></p> <p><strong>Rating</strong>: 2.0/5.0<em><br></em><strong>DR</strong>: 7 | <strong>Format Reviewed</strong>: 320 kbps mp3<br><strong>Labels</strong>: Metallic Blue Records (USA) | High Roller Records (EU)<br><strong>Websites</strong>: <a href="https://katagoryv.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">katagoryv.bandcamp.com</a><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/katagory-v-awaken-a-new-age-of-chaos-review/#fn-216553-3" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">3</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KatagoryV/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">facebook.com/KatagoryV</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide</strong>: May 16th, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/20/" target="_blank">#20</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/awaken-a-new-age-of-chaos/" target="_blank">#AwakenANewAgeOfChaos</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/fates-warning/" target="_blank">#FatesWarning</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/heavy-metal/" target="_blank">#HeavyMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/high-roller-records/" target="_blank">#HighRollerRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/iced-earth/" target="_blank">#IcedEarth</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/inner-strength/" target="_blank">#InnerStrength</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/katagory-v/" target="_blank">#KatagoryV</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/may25/" target="_blank">#May25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/memory-garden/" target="_blank">#MemoryGarden</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/metallic-blue-records/" target="_blank">#MetallicBlueRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/morgana-lefay/" target="_blank">#MorganaLefay</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/power-metal/" target="_blank">#PowerMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/progpower/" target="_blank">#ProgPower</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/progressive-metal/" target="_blank">#ProgressiveMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/queensryche/" target="_blank">#Queensryche</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/sanctuary/" target="_blank">#Sanctuary</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/tad-morose/" target="_blank">#TadMorose</a></p>
Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/phantom-tyrants-of-wrath-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Phantom – Tyrants of Wrath Review</a></p><p><i>By Tyme</i></p><p><span> Vampires and castles and axes, oh my! In addition to a love for the video game <em>Castlevania</em>, these are some of the favorite things for Guadalajara, Mexico’s </span><strong><span>Phantom</span></strong><span>, reflected in the cool Meagan Lemay cover art.</span><span> I had a fair amount of fun with </span><strong><span>Phantom</span></strong><span>‘s 2023 debut album, </span><em><span>Handed to Execution</span></em><span>. It’s a tasty little slab of thrashy speed metal that took me back to the halcyon days of </span><em><span>Kill ‘Em All</span></em> <strong><span>Metallica</span></strong><span> and </span><em><span>Show No Mercy</span></em> <strong><span>Slayer</span></strong><span>. When I saw </span><strong><span>Phantom</span></strong><span>‘s follow-up, </span><em><span>Tyrants of Wrath</span></em><span>, floating around in the sump pit, I waded into Castle de AMG’s mucky moat, battling tentacled meanies and dodging <span><strong>Grier</strong></span>‘s <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/wisdom-fools-prophecy-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">skid mark-ruined speedos</a> to retrieve it. I was eager to find out if </span><em><span>Tyrants of Wrath</span></em><span> would fill me with war lust and have me storming the gates or leave me non-plussed and in my cups, lazily slumped next to a fire. </span></p><p><em><span>Tyrants of Wrath</span></em><span> sounds straight out of 1985 and finds </span><strong><span>Phantom</span></strong><span> tweaking the more straightforward formula used on </span><em><span>Handed to Execution</span></em><span>. Carryover traces of early </span><strong><span>Metallica</span></strong><span> and </span><strong><span>Slayer, </span></strong><span>with some </span><strong><span>Kreator</span></strong><span> and </span><strong><span>Razor</span></strong><span> bits thrown in for good measure, remain intact as forays into trad-metal, second-wave black metal, and atmospheric organ/piano interludes attempt to expand </span><strong><span>Phantom</span></strong><span>‘s overall sonicscape. JC Necrohex and Harel Mortem fly across fretboards in flurries of furious riffs and chaotic lead work, imbuing early tracks like “The Tower of Seth” and “Violent Invasion” with raw, thrashy, speed metal intensity that lands just this side of completely unhinged. The chorus to the </span><strong><span>Midnight</span></strong><span>-fueled banger “Thunderbeast” will have you pounding your chest, eager to make war, not love. JC’s vocals remain on point for the style, pairing blackened growls ala </span><strong><span>Kreator</span></strong><span>‘s </span><em><span>Endless Pain</span></em><span>-era Ventor mixed with high-pitched screams that would put a smile on Tom Araya’s face. Rair Tavizon provides pounding bass lines, and JP Alatorre rounds out the rhythm section, turning in a serviceable drum performance that mostly corrals </span><strong><span>Phantom</span></strong><span>‘s chaotic acrobatics, but not always. With more expansive songwriting and experimentation, </span><em><span>Tyrants of Wrath</span></em><span> is the product of a young band broadening its musical horizons. </span></p><p></p><p><span>The ambition of </span><strong><span>Phantom</span></strong><span>‘s vision exceeds the resources available to execute it successfully. While the front edge of </span><em><span>Tyrants</span></em><span>‘ sword does positive damage, holes in the castle’s defenses start to show when “Nimbus” rolls around. Meant as a traditional nod toward old-school influences like </span><strong><span>Manilla Road</span></strong><span> and </span><strong><span>Heavy Load</span></strong><span>, the track suffers from weak instrumentation—its strongest pulse some </span><strong><span>Maiden</span></strong><span>-esque dual guitar leads—and clean vocals that never stretch from their narrow baritone range, hobbling with broken wings, a track meant to soar like an eagle. Add in the amateurish, Egyptian-tinged “Lost in the Sands,” where the guitars and drums fall entirely out of sync and distract rather than charm, to the very awkwardly performed, ill-flowing piano interlude “Nocturnal Opus 666,” and it’s clear </span><strong><span>Phantom</span></strong><span> is unable to stretch far enough to fulfill </span><em><span>Tyrants of Wrath</span></em><span>‘s intended goal. </span></p><p></p><p><span>With a runtime of just over forty-eight minutes, </span><em><span>Tyrants of Wrath</span></em><span> is far from the brevity of </span><em><span>Handed to Execution</span></em><span>, which is disappointing because the unrealized gains of </span><strong><span>Phantom</span></strong><span>‘s experimentation lead to this bloat. That’s not to say </span><em><span>every</span></em><span> experiment fails, as the spooky intro, spunky-punk bass, and tremolo strumming of “Dance of the Spiders” works in a mostly non-</span><strong><span>Phantom</span></strong><span> way, and closer “Dark Wings of Death,” an excellent amalgamation of speed-thrashy chugs and trad-heavy, war horse galloping riffs make for a trver representation of what an evolved </span><strong><span>Phantom</span></strong><span> is capable of. I’m happy my active listening of “Dark Wings of Death” allowed me to reach that conclusion since, sadly, the fatigue I felt during my initial, traditionally linear listening sessions left me apathetic to this last song’s successful charms. </span></p><p><strong><span>Phantom</span></strong><span> is a fun and very young band, which works in their favor as they continue to evolve and find their footing. </span><em><span>Handed to Execution</span></em><span> was a nostalgically compelling and raucously promising debut. While I think </span><em><span>Tyrants of Wrath</span></em><span>, despite its expansive intentions, sees </span><strong><span>Phantom</span></strong><span> take a step back, there’s a lot to look forward to as well. I commend these youngsters for having the courage to look beyond the relative success of their previous effort to do something exactly as they want. There are glimpses on </span><em><span>Tyrants of Wrath</span></em><span> of what a more mature third </span><strong><span>Phantom</span></strong><span> outing could sound like, and you can bet I’ll be there to listen to it. </span></p> <p><strong>Rating</strong>: 2.5/5.0<br><strong>DR</strong>: 10 | <strong>Format Reviewed</strong>: 320kbps mp3<br><strong>Label</strong>: <a href="https://www.hrrecords.de/PHANTOM-Tyrants-of-Wrath-LP-LTD-MULTI-SPLATTER-DIE-HARD_1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">High Roller Records</a><br><strong>Website</strong>: <a href="https://phantombandgdl.bandcamp.com/album/tyrants-of-wrath" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide</strong>: April 25th, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2-5/" target="_blank">#25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/apr25/" target="_blank">#Apr25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/high-roller-records/" target="_blank">#HighRollerRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/kreator/" target="_blank">#Kreator</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/metallica/" target="_blank">#Metallica</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/mexican-metal/" target="_blank">#MexicanMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/phantom/" target="_blank">#Phantom</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/razor/" target="_blank">#Razor</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/slayer/" target="_blank">#Slayer</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/speed-metal/" target="_blank">#SpeedMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/thrash-metal/" target="_blank">#ThrashMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/tyrants-of-wrath/" target="_blank">#TyrantsOfWrath</a></p>
Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/morax-the-amulet-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Morax – The Amulet Review</a></p><p><i>By Steel Druhm</i></p><p>Way back in 2019 we reviewed the Norwegian thrash act <strong>Inculter</strong> and lavished much praise upon their <em>Fatal Visions</em> album. We then somehow slept on 2023s <em>Morbid Origin</em> completely because mistakes were made. Now we get the solo project by <strong>Inculter</strong> guitarist/vocalist Remi Andrè Nygård and it’s an altered beast of a different color. Rather than another crazy thrash attack, <strong>Morax</strong> is Remi’s one-man, do-it-all-yourself vehicle for exploring his love of classic 80s heavy metal sounds. In particular, that sweet spot where <strong>Mercyful Fate</strong> rubbed up on NWoBHM and style. Throughout <em>The Amulet</em> you’ll be transported back to 1983-84 and reminded of a variety of early metal acts, but it’s those <strong>Fate</strong> albums that get the bulk of the hat tips as gloriously catchy old-timey riffs fly left and right. With these caveats, you should know what to expect here. Riffs, and MOAR riffs, all from the golden age of metal.</p><p>After a very table setting, 80s-centric intro piece, the real fun begins on “Belial Rising” which is 5-plus minutes of 80s-soaked guitar heroics forced together into an epic song. The riffs here are aces, with one sharp, hooky lead after another as Remi threads the needle between various 80s acts with a rowdy, raucous <b>Mötörhead</b>-adjacent energy bouncing off classy, smooth NWoBHM leads and solos that reek of <strong>Satan</strong>. It’s a wild ride with so many cool, vintage guitar moments that it’s impossible not to enjoy for seasoned geezers like me. The segment from 3:17 to the end is easily my favorite piece of music this year and it keeps me coming back for more. “A Thousand Names” is also first-rate, full of badass riffs and harmonies as Remi warbles and raves as best he can. You could easily imagine this coming out in the early 80s and it comes from a sincere love for the time period.</p><p>Unfortunately, the songcraft is a bit inconsistent as <em>The Amulet</em> plays out. There are a ton of good ideas and slick, memorable <strong>Mercyful Fate</strong>-esque moments in the 8 minutes of “Seven Pierced Hearts” but it definitely runs too long. Cuts like “The Snake” and “Phantom Sleeper” are good with great moments but can’t rise to the level of the album’s first few cuts. Things improve for the epic denouement “The Descent” which feels like a flight through the <strong>In Solitude</strong> and <strong>The Night Eternal</strong> catalogs (i.e. new takes on <strong>Mercyful Fate</strong>’s classic style). If the writing was just a little more consistently strong, this thing would be a contestant on <span><strong>Steel</strong></span>‘s Best of 2025 Hunger Games Elimination Derby. As it stands, it’s an enjoyable nostalgia bomb with several totally killer tracks. At a concise 40 minutes, <em>The Amulet</em> plays out briskly, with only “Seven Pierced Hearts” bogging things down slightly. Remi’s production is 100% authentic to the era it’s inspired by, and he couldn’t have made it sound any more like a product of the past short of releasing it on 8-track.</p><p></p><p>Remi handles everything here, from guitars to bass to drums, and does a pretty damn impressive job. His guitar work is the star, of course, and he shows himself to be a true lover of 80s metal, crafting so many smoking riffs I can imagine rocking out to in my bedroom back in 83-84. This is one of those albums worth hearing for the riffs alone, even if they don’t always translate into great songs. He does a lot to invoke the Sherman/Denner dynasty of amazing dual axe warfare but incorporates enough outside influences to keep things a little unpredictable. His vocals are raw and unpolished but mostly get the job done, though he’s limited in his range and ability. He almost sounds like a mix of Brian Ross of <strong>Satan</strong> / <strong>Blitzkrieg</strong> and Schmier of <strong>Destruction</strong> which is a unique spot to land in.</p><p>As a veteran of the 80s metal wars, I can’t resist albums like this and I had to fight my worser angels who wanted me to overrate <em>The Amulet</em> just because it was so damn vintage. There are some very good to almost great moments here, but the overall package is just shy of a higher mark. I’ll be returning to this in the future though and those high moments make it a rewarding spin. <strong>Morax</strong> is onto something cool and I hope this isn’t a one-and-done for Remi. If you want to marinate in the sounds of the past and attend a few dangerous meetings, <strong>Morax</strong> has the <em>Melissa</em> biscuits you need.</p><p></p> <p><strong>Rating:</strong> 3.0/5.0<br><strong>DR:</strong> 10 | <strong>Format Reviewed:</strong> 320 kbps mp3<br><strong>Label:</strong> <a href="https://www.hrrecords.de/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">High Roller</a><br><strong>Websites</strong>: <a href="https://morax.bandcamp.com/album/the-amulet" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">morax.bandcamp.com/album/the-amulet</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/morax6669" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">facebook.com/morax6669</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/moraxmoraxmorax/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">instagram.com/moraxmoraxmorax</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide</strong>: February 21st, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/30/" target="_blank">#30</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/feb25/" target="_blank">#Feb25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/heavy-metal/" target="_blank">#HeavyMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/high-roller-records/" target="_blank">#HighRollerRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/in-solitude/" target="_blank">#InSolitude</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/inculter/" target="_blank">#Inculter</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/mercyful-fate/" target="_blank">#MercyfulFate</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/morax/" target="_blank">#Morax</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/norweigan-metal/" target="_blank">#NorweiganMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/satan/" target="_blank">#Satan</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/the-amulet/" target="_blank">#TheAmulet</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/the-night-eternal/" target="_blank">#TheNightEternal</a></p>
Angry Metal Guy<p><strong><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/capilla-ardiente-where-gods-live-and-men-die-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Capilla Ardiente – Where Gods Live and Men Die Review</a></strong></p><p><i>By Dolphin Whisperer</i></p><p>The only thing more metal than the glimmer of bloodied blade in the setting sun is the barbaric howl that reverberates afterward as a determination of victory. Early in heavy metal’s history, that kind of bravado embodied by the epic escapades of <strong>Iron Maiden</strong>, marching jams of <strong>Manilla Road</strong>, or the regressive rambunctiousness of <strong>Manowar</strong> separated that true spirit from burgeoning radio-friendly sounds in similarly incepted acts. In the modern day, the epic tag has carried on through the spirit of traditional heavy and doom-leaning acts—the <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/acerus-the-caliginous-serenade-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Acerus</strong></a>es and <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/stygian-crown-funeral-for-a-king-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Stygian Crown</strong></a>s of this world, among others. <strong>Capilla Ardiente</strong> too has carried the flag, with their 2019 opus <em>The Siege</em> harboring both the explosive nature required to wield steel and the patience to strike for killing impact. Less restrained in title, does <em>Where Gods Live and Men Die</em> possess the same battlefield tact?</p><p>If <em>The Siege</em> drew inspiration from a raid while the walls still stood in defense, <em>Where Gods Live and Men Die</em> finds itself amid the breeched fortifications. <em>The Siege</em> saw Felipe Plaza Kutzbach’s (<strong>Procession</strong>, <strong>Scald</strong>) barrel-chested, <strong>Bayley</strong>-intonated<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/capilla-ardiente-where-gods-live-and-men-die-review/#fn-204967-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1</a> roars soar through the wade and gallop of <strong>Candlemass</strong>ive riffs and aggressive <strong>Solitude Aeturnus</strong> charges against the heavy load of full gain bass <em>thwonk</em>—a tone far more common in stoner doom than in the moistened-loins epic world. Now, <em>Where Gods</em> sees an increased guide of wailing leads as histrionic intros and episodic transitions in its four episodic, long-form pieces. No matter the guitar tone, low and modern for rhythms or high and cutting for shredding hours, Claudio Botarro Neira’s monstrous four-string work never hides, finding its way to a tasteful clanging solo (“Not Here. Nowhere.,” “As I Lie on the Summit”) and dancing, progressive transition all the same.</p><p>For an act focused on building layers of harmony on mountains of riffs, <strong>Capilla Ardiente</strong> has chosen a robust and unsubtle production style for <em>Where Gods Live and Men Die</em>. From the opening notes a wall of distorted bass, modern-toned chords, and low-end harmonized riff lines ring in voluminous glory. Each line rings through with enough compression to allow clarity in assault, and maintains a pleasant warmth, particularly in ringing chord breakaways that segue various moments on this time-testing journey. Against Neira’s devouring bass presence, a gargantuan tone that in the wrong hands would be a recipe for <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/hatchend-summer-of-69-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">bulldozed guitars</a>, it’s no easy feat for riffs to maintain their own separate weight, and the amount of volume it takes to keep palm-muted touches crispy and trills defined can wear on the ears. But still, <strong>Capilla Ardiente</strong> plays around with enough higher frequency accents—<strong>Maiden</strong> worship roto tom fills, neoclassical melodic guitar quips—to keep the soundstage from collapsing in its own power.</p><p></p><p>Kutzbach’s well-framed vocal charisma remains equally important to the winding structure that defines <strong>Capilla Ardiente</strong>’s works. Many of his parts have a roundabout way of finding note resolution. The call-and-response vocal-guitar solo break in the midway point of “The Hands of Fate Around My Neck,” where many words fall just flat until descending into a double-tracked harmony or paired arpeggio, would be a hard sell if not for the backing triumph of the riff run that led up to it—and the blazing solo that follows it, for that matter. And Kutzbach himself holds the proper belief that a well-placed falsetto can raise the intensity level, with key breaks from his burly, tightroping baritone-shattering listening defenses as necessary. Truthfully, I’m not certain a more accurate voice<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/capilla-ardiente-where-gods-live-and-men-die-review/#fn-204967-2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">2</a> could match the sword-clashing spirals that present in “Envenomed” or “As I Lie…” as the frenetic nature of the tempo accelerations and subsequent crawls spell for chaos not calculation. Just as in battle, it’s the last swing that matters, and Kutzbach knows this.</p><p>Through the various bouts I’ve had with <em>Where Gods Live and Men Die</em>, <strong>Capilla Ardiente </strong>continues to come out with sword raised high and head hanging low. Though their take on epic, progressive doom metal eschews the horrors of skirmish by focusing on the path necessary to rise above, its sullen dips into Peaceville aesthetics reminds us that the battlefield is not a jubilant place. Much like the music that <strong>Capilla Ardiente</strong> produces, navigating a dive into the fray requires careful attention to its twists. <em>Where Gods Live and Men Die</em> is a challenge, but not one without its spoils.</p><p></p> <p><strong>Rating</strong>: 3.5/5.0<em><br></em><strong>DR</strong>: 7 | <strong>Format Reviewed</strong>: 320 kbps mp3<br><strong>Label</strong>: <a href="https://www.hrrecords.de/Home_2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">High Roller Records</a><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/capilla-ardiente-where-gods-live-and-men-die-review/#fn-204967-3" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">3</a>.<br><strong>Websites</strong>: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CapillaArdienteDoom/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">facebook.com/capillaardientedoom</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide</strong>: October 18th, 2024</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2024/" target="_blank">#2024</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/35/" target="_blank">#35</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/blaze-bayley/" target="_blank">#BlazeBayley</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/candlemass/" target="_blank">#Candlemass</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/capilla-ardiente/" target="_blank">#CapillaArdiente</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/chilean-metal/" target="_blank">#ChileanMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/doom-metal/" target="_blank">#DoomMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/epic-doom-metal/" target="_blank">#EpicDoomMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/high-roller-records/" target="_blank">#HighRollerRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/iron-maiden/" target="_blank">#IronMaiden</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/oct24/" target="_blank">#Oct24</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/procession/" target="_blank">#Procession</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/progressive-doom-metal/" target="_blank">#ProgressiveDoomMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/progressive-metal/" target="_blank">#ProgressiveMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/scald/" target="_blank">#Scald</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/solitude-aeturnus/" target="_blank">#SolitudeAeturnus</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/the-siege/" target="_blank">#TheSiege</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/where-gods-live-and-men-die/" target="_blank">#WhereGodsLiveAndMenDie</a></p>
Angry Metal Guy<p><strong><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/ironflame-kingdom-torn-asunder-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Ironflame – Kingdom Torn Asunder Review</a></strong></p><p><i>By Holdeneye</i></p><p>It’s a little known fact that traditional metal is scientifically proven to possess therapeutic qualities. While anecdotal, you should consider my own experience to be even more authoritative than any evidence that science can produce. Whenever I’m feeling down about my work, my home responsibilities, or just life in general, putting on some tunes about warriors valiantly battling in the name of duty and honor usually kickstarts my heart and returns the gleam to the eye of my tiger. <strong><strong>Ironflame</strong></strong>, the traditional metal platform of <strong>Nechochwen</strong>’s Andrew d’Cagna, was formed in 2016, and since that time, the project has released four stellar platters of classic heavy metal. The name <strong><strong>Ironflame</strong></strong> has twice graced my year-end list, so upon the announcement of fifth album <em>Kingdom Torn Asunder</em>, I almost gave in to the urge to reserve the record a spot on my 2024 contenders list. I ultimately decided that I should probably listen to the music first.</p><p><strong><strong>Ironflame</strong></strong>’s approach to trad-metal has always been formulaic, but I certainly don’t mean that in a derogatory way. I love formulas. I love knowing that if I plug an input into a formula that I can count on the result being pure and true. So it goes with <em>Kingdom Torn Asunder</em>, but I had very little doubt that the album would be well executed and enjoyable. First single “Soul Survivors” demonstrates that the band’s sound hasn’t changed one iota; it still sounds like latter-day <strong>Iron Maiden</strong>, if Bruce and co. specialized in concise, energetic metal anthems instead of bloated monstrosities. The track’s driving rhythms and layered vocals have had a way of burrowing into my mind, where they’ve squatted rent-free for weeks.</p><p></p><p>Of <em>Kingdom Torn Asunder</em>’s eight standard-version tracks, all eight hit the target. Barn-burners like opener “Blood and Honor,” “Standing Tall,” and “Majesty of Steel <del>Druhm</del>” hit hot and heavy, while the band’s penchant for killer mid-paced numbers is reprised with the likes of “Mistress of Desire,” “Shadow of the Reaper,” and the amazing “Sword of a Thousand Truths.” The way the band approaches the latter, a song inspired by perhaps my favorite <em>South Park</em> episode of all time, in such a deadly serious way, is the embodiment of what traditional heavy metal is all about for me. Pure gold.</p><p></p><p>I don’t have anything to complain about here. The performances, production, and aesthetic are all killer, and the songwriting matches that quality. As usual, d’Cagna handles everything except the solos, and, as usual, he demonstrates that he’s a one-man medieval fantasy army. His drumming thunders like the hooves of an oncoming Steppe horde, his rhythm guitar bites harder than a dwarven battle axe, and his vocals resound with an incredibly high charisma score. There’s not a single song here that fails to speak to my warrior soul, and that includes my promo’s two CD version-only bonus tracks. The standard version’s eight tracks go for about 40 minutes, and it is simply *chef’s kiss*.</p><p><strong><strong>Ironflame</strong></strong>’s last album, <em>Where Madness Dwells</em>, was a top-10 inclusion for me, and if you put a sword to my neck and forced me to choose, I’d say that <em>Kingdom Torn Asunder</em> is even stronger. D’Cagna has molded <strong><strong>Ironflame</strong></strong> into one of the coolest representatives of the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal, and these tunes of honor and glory will be lifting my sword, and my spirits, for the rest of the year.</p> <p><strong>Rating:</strong> 4.0/5.0<br><strong>DR:</strong> 5 | <strong>Format Reviewed:</strong> 320 kb/s mp3<br><strong>Label:</strong> <a href="https://www.hrrecords.de/Home_2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">High Roller Records</a><br><strong>Websites:</strong> <a href="http://ironflame.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ironflame.bandcamp.com</a> | <a href="http://facebook.com/ironflameusa" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">facebook.com/ironflameusa</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide:</strong> July 26th, 2024</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2024/" target="_blank">#2024</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/40/" target="_blank">#40</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/american-metal/" target="_blank">#AmericanMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/heavy-metal/" target="_blank">#HeavyMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/high-roller-records/" target="_blank">#HighRollerRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/iron-maiden/" target="_blank">#IronMaiden</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/ironflame/" target="_blank">#Ironflame</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/jul24/" target="_blank">#Jul24</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/kingdom-torn-asunder/" target="_blank">#KingdomTornAsunder</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/nechochwen/" target="_blank">#Nechochwen</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a></p>
