"Full Moon in St. Petersburg" is a CD/DVD pack capturing German heavy/power metal pioneers "Rage" live in Russia during their 2006 tour in support of their album "Speak of the dead" (2006)…

German metallers Rage have returned to the scene with their new album ‘The Devil Strikes Again’, the long-awaited follow up to their 2013 album ‘LMO’. The band has yet again changed its line up, with Marcos Rodriguez and Vassilios “Lucky” Maniatopoulos coming in to the band to replace Victor Smolski and André Hilgers respectively…

Of all of rock & roll's many comatose old tricks, few are hanging as tenuously to their life-support systems as that absolute relic known as the live album. Having said that, Rage's first such effort, From the Cradle to the Stage, benefits from a better premise (celebrating the enduring power thrashers' 20th anniversary), a better track listing, and a better overall recording quality than most half-hearted, contract-fulfilling entries into the format…

The German heavy metal outfit, Rage, originally formed in the early '80s, and although the group has issued albums on a steady basis ever since, lead singer/bassist Peter "Peavey" Wagner is the only original member still in attendance. First known as Avenger, the group issued a pair of recordings (Prayer of Steel and Depraved to Black) before switching their name to Rage, to avoid confusion with a British band of the same name. 1986's Reign of Fear signaled the group's first album to be released under their new name, as they continued on in the same heavy hitting musical direction on subsequent releases; although they used some orchestral flourishes on their late-'90s experimental albums Lingua Mortis (1996) and XIII (1999)…

A Traveler's Guide to Space and Time is a first box set by German power metal band Blind Guardian. It contains 15 CDs and covers the bands discography during the so-called Virgin years, between 1988 and 2004…

Many in the field of high speed German steel have come and gone since its heyday in the 1980s, but veteran speed/power metal fence-sitters Rage have endured long past most of the competition, and have been among the most prolific progenitors of the art form to boot…

Orden Ogan prove once more that reaching the top of the power metal chain is a walk in the park for them. Being it with mighty, catchy choruses or well-constructed instrumental parts, the Teutonic powerhouse managed to create an equally great effort here as their marvelous previous works…

THE ARTIST Gamma Ray, Germany’s power metal institution celebrate their anniversary! Gamma Ray immediately hit the spot with their debut album “Heading For Tomorrow” in 1990, released straight after Hansen decided to leave Helloween, the band he co-founded and with whom he enjoyed world fame, gold and platinum awards with records like “Keeper Of The Seventh Keys” (Part I and II) still among the best sellers for the metal genre. It was after the critically acclaimed “Land Of The Free” in 1995 that Gamma Ray became one of the top European Power Metal Bands and became widely known as a hard working band, releasing more than ten albums in twenty years and permanently being on the road with the likes of Iron Maiden, Halford, Hammerfall and Stratovarius…

Nostalgia is a powerful tool. It’s been 16 years since the release of the album, but I easily remember what those days surrounding the release of the record were like. The excitement, the ambition, the comradeship, the triumphant tour to come, it was all there, about to carry the band to another level, musically and journey wise. “Once” instantly became Nightwish’s watershed album.

Swedish power metal warriors Vandor have revealed the details of their new album ‘On a Moonlit Night’. In the band’s own words: “‘On a Moonlit Night’ feels without doubt like a highlight in our career: we took a look at everything we loved with our debut [2019’s ‘In the Land of Vandor’] and aimed solely at writing in that vein. We are proud that we managed to cover so much musical ground on this album, spanning from the anthem-sounding ‘Mountains of Avagale’ to the beautiful ‘Future to Behold’ and the intense warmongering tale ‘Fate of Eltoria’, and finishing with the almost 20-minute-long saga ‘The Sword to End All Wars’. This record is more Power Metal than our previous one, but we have also embraced Progressive Rock, which might not come as a shock for those familiar with our music. ‘On A Moonlit Night’ was written, produced and recorded at the Vandor HQ outside Gothenburg, Sweden by Alve Bjerde, Vide Bjerde & Jack L. Stroem. The album was mixed by Jason Carter at Wavelength Studio and mastered by Tom Nunes at Atomic Mastering (both located in Salem, Oregon, Usa). The album artwork was made by super talent Nele Diel and it captures an unknown world waiting to be explored, with different tales to be told from the land of Vandor.
