testament

What a prefect day for a metal festival. Overcast, a few sunrays, a nice temperature, some good bands and a lot of metal - perfect conditions for a great day out. However, the first challenge was to get to Eindhoven. This has nothing to do with the DMF....

(*/10) I have to admit that jazz normally doesn't belong to my favorite styles of music and when entering the world of free jazz even leads to confusion. However, this album is maybe the foot in the door to jazz music. It’s not that it's the songs itself...

New Year's Eve is an excellent moment in time to look back on the last 12 months and what's better than scrolling through photos made that year. I challenged myself in choosing my 12 favorites, which was not a too easy exercise. Anyhow, I've chosen these...

(8/10) Hard stuff, again from Gothenburg. It is not only In Flames who worked on a new album. Also The Haunted released a new disc with the title "Exit wounds". The five piece band has already a longer history since they released their first album in...

(7/10) Suicidal Angels is the number one thrash metal band in Greece. Pioneers in the country at the Mediterranean Sea. Since 2001 the band released a couple of EP's and four full-length albums. After they released "Bloodbath" in 2012 Suicidal Angels...
