The are back. And what would you expect by them? Yeah right this darken, Heavy / Doom Metal they have been delivering over the centuries. It is here. again better than ever.

Angel of Damnation is not the kind of band that releases records that often. Since 2004 they have released an EP, a Split and their debut full length back on 2011. Yes 7 years have passed since then. And the time has come for the Angel to fly again…

Well the big deal with this band was always this very special atmosphere they manage to generate with each and every of their songs. And yes this atmosphere is here. And of course the voice of the one and only Gerrit P. Mutz.

It is obvious that each and every band that is blessed with THIS voice, would be transformed to something very special in zero time.

If you are familiar with Angel Of Damnation, you know what to expect. The riffing, the guitar melodies, the vocal melodies and the crawling rhythms. Everything is here. Again.

This album is an actual mystic journey to the world of dark arts. An obscure, tragic journey, through the music of those cult Germans. Yes if you are in for some obscure, dark and mystic Heavy / Doom Metal delivered in a straight almost minimalistic / ritualistic way, this is an album for you. Simply put the album to play and let yourself dive into the darkness. Angel Of Damnation will guide your poor soul…

All hail the Angel!

I breathe for music. And I am more than sure that my mission in this universe is to make everybody agree that "Awaken The Guardian" by FATES WARNING is the best album ever released, yes in all musical genres. My next mission is to feed homeless cats and when I am not busy with all this stuff I listen to US Prog / Power and Epic Doom Metal. And I cast spells in rituals in order to awake the old ones.

WARLORD: The legend of William J Tsamis lives – Interview and...

To tell you the truth I was a little bit skeptical when I first learned about the Warlord tribute project set by drummer and founding member Mark Zonder and singer Giles Lavery to honor the music and memory of founder guitarist William J Tsamis who unfortunately passed away back in 2021. I was looking at the facts very closely, reading announcements about forthcoming live shows, new line up and a new album. The response from the fans was massive including both positive and negative (or very negative) comments about the above facts. "How can Warlord exist without Bill Tsamis?", they were asking. One afternoon I got a call from Giles Lavery himself asking me if I wanted to do an advance review of the forthcoming Warlord album. I replied positively still being in this skeptical mood. It all went away after the first listen... William J Tsamis was there. His music, his legend, his compositions, evolved into complete songs. In total excitement I texted Giles a single message "Bill is alive". The very next evening found Mark, Giles and I talking about the album, about Bill, about the music and the legacy. It was late at night when we ended the call. I asked them if I can publish our conversation and they got no problem. So here it is again: Me talking with Warlord. The usual stuff I am doing the last 25 years for various reasons. But this time I would not call this conversation an interview. To my eyes this is a big ethical, artistic and soulful statement, by some people who want to keep the Dream, alive.
