I have to admit that Metal Church have fascinated me ever since their debut album arrived in 1984. One of the key moments came in 2015, when Mike Howe (R.I.P.) returned to the band and stepped back behind the microphone. His voice had already helped define albums such as Blessing in Disguise and The Human Factor, so his... Continue Reading →
Review GRAVEYARD “Fever”
Graveyard, hailing from Gothenburg, are one of the bands that represent the musical diversity and creativity of Sweden’s west coast.

With Innocence... Continue Reading →

Review BOBBIE DAZZLE “Star Power”
Bobbie Dazzle is the stage name of Siân Greenaway, a name some readers may still associate with Alunah. Greenaway left the band in 2024 and opened a new chapter with Bobbie Dazzle — one that shares little musical DNA with her former outfit. With Bobbie Dazzle, Greenaway has turned her attention toward glamorous rock with... Continue Reading →
Review MICHAEL BORMANN´S JADED HARD “South West”
Jaded Heart is arguably the band that has mattered most to Michael Bormann, both then and now.

Michael Bormann’s Jaded Hard is more than a name that nods back... Continue Reading →
P.O.D. revealed a new video

You can watch the nerve-wracking video HERE. “OUTBREAK” was produced by Grammy-winning producer Will Yip (Turnstile, Code Orange, Circa Survive) and is the band’s first new... Continue Reading →
Review GHØSTKID “Follow the White Rabbit”
Ghøstkid are still a relatively young band. Sebastian Biesler started the project in 2020 after leaving Eskimo Callboy. The self-titled debut arrived that same year, and having Heaven Shall Burn frontman Marcus Bischoff contribute vocals to “Supernova” certainly helped put the band on the radar a little faster. After Hollywood Suicide landed in 2024, the third Ghøstkid... Continue Reading →

The song is accompanied... Continue Reading →
Review KONGH “Dissolved in Time”
Slo-Mo experts Kongh are back. Formed in 2004, the Swedish band set out to put its own spin on doom metal and went on to release several strong albums. After Sole Creation came out in 2013, however, things grew quiet around the band as Kongh stepped away for an extended break. Thirteen years later, they have returned... Continue Reading →

Review 7 MILES TO PITTSBURGH “Beyond Repair”
7 Miles To Pittsburgh hail from Eindhoven Rock City and got their start in 2017.

What began as a passion for sophisticated rock music wasn't originally intended to become a full-fledged band.... Continue Reading →
Review MEURTRIER “Messe De Fer”
A French album title and French song titles might lead you to believe that Meurtrier are a band from France. They’re not. These five musicians hail from Canada and are part of the metal scene centered around Quebec and Montreal. After taking a look at the relatively simple and somewhat cliché-ridden artwork, it’s time to... Continue Reading →
Review CLOVEN HOOF “Never a Prophet in Your Own Land”
Cloven Hoof is one of those band names that has been tied to heavy metal for what feels like forever. The story began in Wolverhampton, England, back in 1979, followed by a self-titled debut album in 1984. The band disappeared from the radar during the metal-unfriendly ’90s, but the passion for the music never really... Continue Reading →
