Ravenspell – Obsidian King

Metalcatto

I usually do everything in my power to dodge traditional Heavy Metal. It just feels like everything has been said and done a thousand times over. However, Ravenspell‘s Obsidian King claims there’s something more to say in the wacky, bloated history of the style. As you can tell, my hopes are buried somewhere below realistic, but the job is the job, right? It’s time to go on.

Ültra Raptör – Fossilized

Fun isn’t usually my thing. In fact, this review is only happening because Metalkitten (my three-year-old) saw dinosaurs and lasers in Ültra Raptör‘s promo and said, “that one has dinos in, so it’s cool.” With such crushing logic used against me, I had no option but to comply and give this Speed/Heavy Metal ride a chance to prove that it could be more than silly entertainment for the late afternoon. You see? I might be old now, but I still listen to the youth here and there.
