CD review BLOODBATH "Grand morbid funeral"

(8/10) That death metal and Sweden, esp. Stockholm, goes together very well is nothing really new. Bloodbath is one of those bands coming from the Swedish capital that gained a lot of international attention during the last years. Founded as a project...

CD review NEVERSTORE "s/t"

(4/10) The really good thing with this album is the production. Tobias Lindell (Mustach, Harcore Superstars) gave Neverstore an energetic and dynamic sound that rocks pretty well. And I wished Neverstore would sound like the mentioned bands. Neverstore...

CD review PINK FLOYD "The endless river"

(8/10) A new album from Pink Floyd wasn't something I expected. It was actually the moment when Richard Wright passed away 6 years ago that seemed to mark also the end of the rock dinosaur. Therefore it was a big and positive surprise when the news about...

CD review MACHINE HEAD "Bloodstones and diamonds"

(9/10) Machine Head has created a sound over time that stands out from most of the other thrash bands. If you hear a song from the Oakland, California based band you will recognise it immediatley. It is this quite unique thrash metal that is modernized...

(8/10) The eagle is on the road again. Next to the Saxon tour, taking place right now, the metal icons also released a CD/DVD package called "Warriors on the road". It is the continuation of "Chronicles" from 2001 and the focus is more on 'old and new'....

(8/10) "Let us burn" is the new live release from Dutch symphonic rockers Within Temptation. The set includes 3 dics - one DVD/BluRay and 2 CD. The story around this release is an interesting one. One of the DVDs contains the "Elements" show in Antwerp...

Live review OPETH / ALCEST, Amsterdam, 07.11.2014

It was very busy on the Arena Boulevard in Amsterdam that night. Linkin Park played a show at the Ziggo Arena and the mighty Opeth rocked the Heineken Music Hall. Both venues are just a few hundred meters away from each other which means that it was peak...

CD review KAIPA "Sattyg"

(7/10) Kaipa stands for rock from Sweden with folk- and prog influences. To be honest - I missed the band so far. It's maybe the same with you. So, let's have a look back in time. The band started already in the end of the 70's. It was in 1975 when they...

CD review WHITESNAKE "Live in 1984 - Back to the bone"

CD review WHITESNAKE "Live in 1984 - Back to the bone"

(*/10) My first thought was 'another live album from Whitesnake'. And in one or another way this is also correct. But there is a thought behind "Live in 1984 - Back to the bone". It was 30 years ago, in 1984, when Whitesnake released their "Slide it in"...
