ALBUM REVIEW: Hideous Destructor runs the rule over the new album from International metal collective Burning Witches...

It's hard not to possess a sneaking regard for International metal conglomerate Burning Witches, who now feature American guitarist Courtney Cox among their number; Their safe, airbrushed take on the sort of power metal made popular by German metal Queen Doro Pesch is never less than diverting, and....

Ya gotta feel for today's rockers… it’s a tough life for sure… I can see Markus (Großkopf, Helloween bassist and founder) looking quite relaxed with what appears to be a beach umbrella behind him… Markus, where are you right now? ‘I’m hanging out on the Baltic Sea, since we can work fro...

ALBUM REVIEW: Gavin Strickmann welcomes Swedish AORists Roulette - SWE back to active duty...

After opening up with three polite exercises in solid - some might say stolid - AOR, Sweden's Roulette finally hit paydirt for the first time on new album Go! with track four, the muscular Strangers. After that they maintain a high cruising speed, in the process unfurling some of the classiest melod...

FEATURE: "It's hard to fully encapsulate the legacy this giant of 'our kind of music' leaves behind..." Vale, Ozzy Osbourne

The world of heavy metal has lost its most iconic figure. John Michael “Ozzy” Osbourne, the seemingly indomitable front man of Black Sabbath and a trailblazing solo artist, passed away on July 23, 2025, at the age of 76. With a career spanning over five decades, Ozzy’s influence on music, cult...

ALBUM REVIEW: Chris Arrowsmith puts himself in the firing line of the new Panzerchrist album...

Panzerchrist have been tearing up the Danish extreme metal scene since the nineties, and with Maleficium Part 2, they’ve delivered a second instalment of their ambitious double-album concept that’s as savage as a Viking raid and as cinematic as a descent into Dante’s inferno. Following hot on ...

ALBUM REVIEW: Alf-Inge Ingesson asesses the new album from symph-prog maestros Scardust...

At their most opulent - the toweringly accomplished Searing Echoes, perhaps - or even at their most straightforward (although straightforward is a relative term when applied to this band) on Touch of Life I - In Your Eyes, Israeli symphonic progressives Scardust carry all the hallmarks of genuine Wo...

ALBUM REVIEW: Darrel Treece-Birch's ATLANTEA project keeps the prog feels flowing on new album Life, says Gavin Strickmann...

Keyboarder extraordinaire Darrel Treece-Birch - do I really have to tell you again that he's a mainstay in Brit pomp veterans Ten? - returns with a new album under the Atlantea banner, and if it isn't as immediately captivating as it's predecessor, it still packs a mighty prog rock punch that leaves...

ALBUM REVIEW: Dutch metal veterans MARTYR have returned with some of their best work yet, says Ferry Templeton...

Dutch metallers Martyr were hailed as something of a trailblazer in their formative years, being one of their country's first exports via appearance on the legendary Metal Massacre series; However they failed to capitalise on that early notoriety at the time, putting out a couple of albums on minor....

ALBUM REVIEW: Nightwish fans will be pleased to hear that Tuomas Holopainen's other project Auri is going from strength to strength with their new album, according to Ferry Templeton...

A cynical person might say that Auri exists simply to allow Nightwish mastermind Tuomas Holopainen to harvest some extra publishing money from tracks that haven't made it on to albums by the 'day job'; However those curmudgeons find their arguments knocked into a conveniently-placed cocked hat by tr...

Sentinel Daily - Metal for Grown-ups...

“Basically, I was tired of writing about bands I had nothing in common with, and whose music I was growing to despise”.

So says Sentinel Daily editor Scott Adams of the end of his relationship with his former web-based metal magazine, Metal as F**k. He continues: “I wanted to write about bands I was genuinely enthused about, bands that generally seemed to have been around in metal’s glory days in the eighties. That’s where the idea of ‘metal for grown-ups’ came from. People my age, in the mid forties to mid fifties age bracket, didn’t really have a web-based magazine aimed at them apart from the big corporate titles that seem happy to cover the same mega bands all the time. At Sentinel Daily we’ll cover those bands of course, but there’s a whole new generation of bands playing classic metal that we want to shine the spotlight on as well. Bands that we love that we think other people of our vintage will too”.

That idea came in late 2015 and now, nearly one million visitors later, Sentinel Daily is staying true to that original ideal. Come along with us for the ride!
