Collected reviews for “End of time” !!
If you don’t have the energy to read the entire reviews, here are some selected quotes.
A superb album that might initially be mistaken for a typical Power Metal release, heavy on keyboards—but it’s far from that! In fact, this album embodies the spirit of classic Heavy Metal, with instrumentation and production more aligned with Power Metal. It’s the most epic album I’ve heard in recent months.
Neptune is neither a band of followers nor just another Epic/Power Metal group. This is an album that demands to be listened to and loved.
My favorite album of 2023 has been HEAVY LOAD’s “Riders of the Ancient Storm”. Could it be that Swedish melodic metal will strike the most tender spot in my heart yet another year? Not unlikely, I’d say!
This sophomore release from NEPTUNE is a perfect musical continuation of their debut. If you enjoy catchy yet truly interesting heavy metal songs, with elements of power and even prog metal, blending European tradition with the finest of melodic US style, then DON’T MISS this album!
The album is NEVER boring; in fact, it hooks you from the beginning to the very end with no fillers at all!
This is the total opposite of the dullness of simplicity that many other albums suffer from.

Some recent fan quotes
1980s fast forward to 2020s. Very – very nice album. Greetings from Athens-GR
Like a Nordic Queensryche from the 80’s musically meeting Accept but looking to Manowar for lyrical and attitude inspiration. Works for me.
Neptune… next Wacken Open Air… Neptune must be there.
Sometimes it does not matter that it takes a while between album releases as it becomes more elaborate. The initial guitars made me shake all over. Wonderfully! Rock On!
Play it loud, excellent Fuckin sound and lyrics, that’s metal at its finest.
Review of our album Northern Steel
Quotes
New songs but NEPTUNE has immediately certified that they have lost none of their classic magic. They still taste like a melodic NWoBHM band or, accordingly, as a pioneer of the NWoSHM. Besides that, they prove that every song has a certain hymn-factor.
Northern Steel is a great album by Neptune, capturing classic metal and giving it a Viking twist for all.
The metal goes well in the ear, I think of a mixture of ACCEPT with pathos, RUNNING WILD after UJR, IRON MAIDEN, the bombast from MANOWAR and all that mixed with Swedish influences, this mix comes across as awesome and stands out pleasantly from some other releases…
If Sabaton is too belligerent for you or Hammerfall too commercial, Amaranthe too poppy, you should definitely listen to this album from Sweden.

Neptune is Widely considered by most heavy metal gurus as one of the best unsigned Epic Metal bands from Sweden in the 80’s. With an image and song writing style like a cross between IRON MAIDEN, BLACK SABBATH and MANOWAR. The band penned some great classic heavy metal tunes and managed to gain a cult status among demo collectors and underground metal fans around the globe. MAJOR WARNING! This is not just another Swedish metal band. This is KILLER majestic Swedish steel that deserves a place up there with the best.
These kind words are from Cult Metal Classics, the label who released our album Land of Northern. Now also live on Spotify and on Deezer.
The resurrection
Neptune worked long and well with their debut album in the mid 80’s. Several record companies showed great interest and the album were only signatures away from being released on vinyl as well as on CD. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen and the album ended up in the freezer for a very long time.
Something that the band wasn’t aware of was that there were “fans” who had managed to get access of parts of the recordings and other demos from Neptune’s glory days, which eventually found their way out on different forums and You Tube.
Late in the fall of 2017, some of these recordings came to Cult Metal Classics attention. CMC immediately showed interested. A complete recording from the 80’s that had never seen the day light was just in front of them . After some investigation with help from their Swedish representative Janne Stark. It didn’t take long time before the ink had dried and a release date was set. That for both CD as well as vinyl. Just as it was supposed from the very start for over 30 years ago. If you want to know more of the history of Neptune, make sure to read The True Story of Neptunes Rise, Fall and Resurrection.
The CD is now possible to order from Cult Metal Classics and other web stores.
