Looking back on 2013, there were many, many great Metal albums released; Metal albums that should always be hailed here, on Metal Odyssey. One such album is The Rise Of Resistance and the Power Metal brilliance of Heilbronn, Germany’s Circle Of Silence. This is a Power Metal album that MUST be heard, to understand it’s true potent thunder!

Yes, once again, we have album cover artwork that matches the Metal heard within like a Metal glove! Nick on vocals comes across as the ever confident and eloquent Metal frontman, as he exhibits an attitude and grandiose vibe of pure might, with every note. The duo guitar fretwork of Tobias and Chris is a sensation to take in; with the rhythm section of Björn (bass) and Pit (drums) only exemplifies why Circle Of Silence is a Power Metal force to adhere to.

Released via Abstatt, Germany’s Massacre Records, The Rise Of Resistance is just one of many numerous Metal gems that this legendary record label offered in 2013. Any rabid Power Metal and/or True Metal fan’s album collection is amiss without this recent Circle Of Silence offering. Circle Of Silence = Metal. Period. What makes any album memorable are the songs and Circle Of Silence surely has them on The Rise Of Resistance. Metal be thy name. – Stone

The Metal Warriors known across our lands as METAL INQUISITOR have a new studio album releasing this February 21st, via Massacre Records and it explodes with True Heavy Metal glory, speed, riffage, eye-popping guitar solo’s, kick-ass vocals, 10 memorable songs and an undeniable spirit of what Metal is ALL about! Ultima  Ratio Regis is a Metal album you MUST seek out and own! Praise the Metal Gods that Metal Inquisitor exists!

For ALL of you old school Metalheads out there, this is a True Heavy Metal album that you will ALL be telling your fellow Metal brethren to buy and hail! My Metal God almighty, does this band from Koblenz, Germany know how to shred, ignite the Metal senses and profess the True Heavy Metal gospel! Yes, Virginia, the album cover artwork does dictate just how outstanding the Metal you’ll hear within is!

El Rojo on vocals slams it home, while the entire band screams legendary Metal talent, through these 10 songs. I’m NOT blowing Metal wind out of my ass here, Metal Inquisitor have paid their Metal dues and are a True Heavy Metal band that has erupted ALL the Metal goodness that flows within my Metal veins. Ultima Ratio Regis is an album that I cannot recommend any more highly than I’ve already tried. Metal Inquisitor and Old school Metalheads shall know what I mean.

Metal Inquisitor and their new album will have fans of Witch Cross, Satan, Sinister Realm, Manowar, Grim Reaper, Crystal Viper, Iced Earth, (early) Judas Priest and (early) Iron Maiden, salivating at the mouth. I am incredibly psyched-out that the Metal sounds of Metal Inquisitor are in my Metal blood for the rest of my Metal life. Metal be thy name. – Stone
