Yes, I’m early, because you people send me too much stuff.
Suffering so you don't have to!

If you’re new in town—as our blog stats show—then you might think we never cover any virgin… I mean, any unicorn music here. It’s been a while, but why not review Xandria‘s Eclipse to break our dark spell and start looking into some Power/Goth Metal this year that actually doesn’t make me embarrassed of being a Metalhead? Or maybe I’m wrong, and this is more of the same happy depressing music. Let’s see.

There’s next to no Power or Folk Metal that can get past me without making me roll my eyes. The whole niche is so overdone, bland, and safe at this point—a dinosaur that refuses to evolve. But if there’s one band that can save the day, it’s Myrath. The band has been putting bangers out back to back for years now. Wilderness of Mirrors has some big shoes to fill, but if there’s one band that can restore my faith in this rotten subgenre, it’s this one. Let’s go.

Enough with all the edgy and depressing stuff. How about some epic Heavy/Power Metal to remind you that you were once an innocent child full of hopes and dreams before the world mauled you into the husk you are now. Triumpher‘s Priercing The Heart of the World opens with everything that promises to lift your spirits, right?

Explosions! Unicorns! Dragons! Now that I have your power metal attention, I should talk to you about Greyhawk‘s new album, Warriors of the Greyhawk. I assume they’re talking about themselves with this title. I’ll do my absolute best to give these guys a fair chance, despite my eternal disdain for anything that is remotely corny or happy. A reviewer needs to keep evolving; otherwise, we just become bitter old people like most. So, let’s start this riff extravaganza.

Edenbridge would be the kind of band Elyna would normally cover, but she’s on vacation, so you’ll have to settle for my snarky takes in the meantime. The big question from the start was simple enough: what can Set the Dark on Fire add to an already long and fairly successful career? I’m not sure the answer is entirely straightforward, but I’ll do my best to help with some balanced and absolutely not hateful commentary… who am I kidding? This is Power Metal, after all.
