CD review WUCAN "Reap the Storm"

(9/10) German-based Wucan might be still fairly new to many rock music enthusiasts even though the band received excellent feedback on their debut "Sow the Wind". Starting to an exciting journey through rock music back in 2011, Wucan achieved quite a...

CD review GUN "Favourite Pleasure"

(8/10) Scottish Gun shouldn't be reduced to their early albums only. Yes, “Gallus” was an excellent sophomore album and “Swagger” used the momentum, becoming a great melodic rock album too. Last but not least it included with the Cameo cover version “Words...

CD review BLACKFINGER "When Colors Fade Away"

(8/10) The combination doom metal and Eric Wagner still works very well u-to-date. Wagner's voice enriched already earlier doom metal records, first and foremost to mention the Trouble releases that were and still are iconic classics in the slo-mo metal...

CD review WAYWARD SONS "Ghosts of Yet to Come"

(7/10) First things that gets into your mind while reading 'Wayward Sons' is the iconic classic rock anthem done by rock dinosaurs Kansas. I can't tell you if this tune was the inspiration for Toby Jepson when the question of naming for this outfit was...

CD review STEELHEART "Through Worlds of Stardust"

(8/10) After having had some wins in the early 90's the wheel of fortune didn't provide Steelheart with a lot of positive scores during the following months and years. The band, being the brainchild of singer Michael Matijevic, started as Red Alert in...

CD review H.E.A.T. "Into the Great Unknown"

(8/10) I actually think that Swedish rock outfit H.E.A.T. knows exactly where they are going to with their band. In contrary to the album title „Into the Great Unknown“ the guys continue their journey on the road of rock and they know that it will lead...

CD review CREMATORY "Live Insurrection"

(*/10) It's amazing to see how long German goth metal oufit Crematory's in business already. The sextett started 26 years ago and even though they could never celebrate a real break-through the band could build-up a strong fanbase that's extremely loyal....
