Despite the fact Lullacry has put out four albums to date you could be forgiven for not recognizing the name if you’re fairly new to the metal scene. The group consistently put out an album about once every two years from 1999 through 2005 and then went silent. Well, now the Finnish group, led...
When you picture a typical opera you rarely think of denim or leather clad figures sitting politely with their spectacles while massive operatic voices fill the auditorium. You also have a hard time picturing suit clad yuppies banging their heads to guitar solos, but when you think of some symphonic metal you see bands...
We Love Metal had done a lot of coverage of these American Power Metal/NWOBHM mainstays. Pharaoh has fascinated us with their ability to bring power metal to the American audience in a manner that blends all genres including the aforementioned with melodic and thrash.

Review: The Firstborn – Lions Among Men
