We’re only halfway into the first month of the new year, and already a solid, superfun metal release is with us. On January 5, the awesome new album from Magick Touch was released: “Blades, Chains, Whips & Fire.” I learned a hilarious new genre term from Angry Metal Guy’s review of the disc: “DAD METAL.” […]

Sophomore slump? Ha! For those unfamiliar with this colloquialism, it implies the lack of ability to follow up an endeavor, contribution or event. This affliction is an albatross for some who sell their fortune on their debut and then either disappear or their “sophomore” effort doesn’t hold a candle to the maiden effort, but this […]

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover. Or something As we’re amongst friends here, MV will make a confession. We took one look at the cover for this record and didn’t expect to be reviewing it.

Joe Miller 7/10 When most metalheads think of Norway, the first image that comes to mind is that of corpsepaint clad dudes with a lust for satan, vikings, and the bitter cold. After all, this was the country where black metal rose to infamy. But what if I told you that hidden among the frostbitten […]
If I tell you that this band’s last album was called Blades, Chains, Whips and Fire and that their new album, Heads Have Got To Rock ‘n’ Roll has a cover adorned by a guillotine dripping blood, then I think you can guess we are talking serious rock…and Magick Touch delivers both in spades. This […]
Hva har så den magiske trioen fra Bergen klart å dra opp fra tryllehatten på sitt tredje album? Kaniner eller fete riff? Heldigvis det sistnevnte og mer til. Trioen fortsetter i samme gate som før med ganske så uimotståelige låter lettere inspirert av gamle storheter som Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, Deep Purple osv. Men det er […]
Sometimes, I feel I’ve already used up my best lines. Take Magick Touch, for example. Getting on for three years ago I reviewed their second album. And I wrote a huge thing about how I thought with a name and the artwork meant they were one of those boring occult metal bands, but over the […]
