0 Maritime Metal – Marc Durkee – Remain In Stasis – “There is some great guitar work here, from heavy riffing in songs like the opening track “The Dark Dimension” and later in “A Great Distain” to the acoustic passages in “Not Without Sin” and “A Way To Escape”. Overall it’s a fairly mellow album with the heaviness spread out evenly throughout.”
“With a handful of EP’s and LP’s out since 2013, he is a one man band with a vision. A dark and depressing sound that is accessible to Metal and Rock fans alike. “Remain In Stasis” is his first full length album and all tracks are performed, written, produced, and mixed by Marc. There is some great guitar work here, from heavy riffing in songs like the opening track “The Dark Dimension” and later in “A Great Distain” to the acoustic passages in “Not Without Sin” and “A Way To Escape”. Overall it’s a fairly mellow album with the heaviness spread out evenly throughout.”

0 The Metal Crypt – Review: Ominous Eclipse – Sinister
0 November 2018 – Rock Hard Germany – Turbo Vixen
0 Metal Temple – Trollwar – Oath of The Storm
Overall, this was an outstanding album, for a band that clearly has a lot to offer. What I can’t figure out is why no one has signed them yet? The production is excellent. They have a sophistication and complexity in their sound that few others do, yet each track is very easy to listen to. It’s like you combined the best of the old, IRON MAIDEN, with the best of the new, WINTERSUN, and you have TROLLWAR, with their own unique flair. The melodies are both playful and dangerous, and the entire album is excellent from the opener through the closer. “Oath of the Storm” is a fascinating glimpse into the soul of the band, where they let it all out there for you to enjoy. And enjoy it I did! http://www.metal-temple.com/site/catalogues/entry/reviews/cd_3/t_2/trollwar-oath-of-the.htm
