CD review THE VINTAGE CARAVAN ‘Gateways’
(10/10) It's amazing what Island has in its offer. Not only that they have an awesome soccer team and an impressive nature, Island also has a very vital music scene. This time it's classic rock passionistas The Vintage Caravan that added a new longplayer to their musical vita, an album that screams for attention. 'Gateways'... Continue Reading →
CD review IAN GILLAN & THE JAVELINS ‘Ian Gillan & The Javelins’
(9/10) Ian Gillan & The Javelins has a history that goes back to the early 60's, a time when The Beatles and the Rolling Stones played some cover versions of songs of Chubby Checker and Chuck Berry. The Javelins is another band from this period and the guys were influenced by various pop-, soul-, country-,... Continue Reading →
CD review WILSON ‘Tasty Nasty’
(5/10) Detroit Rock City - is it Wilson's new album that can underline the statement? Not really. The band, that has its starting point in 2010, has released two quite successful records with the latest one being entitled ‘Right to Rise’. Three years later the band comes around the corner with a new longplayer and... Continue Reading →

The band, hailing from Los Angeles, California, was founded in 2012 and is a trio. Nick DePirro, Reilly Herrera and Aric Improta are the... Continue Reading →
CD review EPICA ‘Epica vs. Attack on Titan’ – EP
(8/10) Dutch symphonic metallers Epica entered partly unknown territory in 2017 when the band released a Japan-only EP with four songs that stretched the band’s frame of reference.

CD review MANTAR ‘The Modern Art of Setting Ablaze’
(9/10) A duo in metal is something that for sure doesn’t belong to the usual line-ups. Mantar, hailing from Bremen, Germany, is such an exception from standard. Hanno Klaenhardt (v/g) and Erinc Sakarya (d/v) founded the band five years ago and what the duo achieve in such a short period of time is rather impressive.... Continue Reading →
CD review SUBTYPE ZERO ‘The Astral Awakening’
(7/10) Some of you might be still familiar with the band name Cringe. Subtype Zero is the successor of Crinch after the band was forced to change the band’s name due to a legal dispute. Raider became Twix and Cringe became Subtype Zero. What both have in common is that the product itself stays the... Continue Reading →
CD review KING COMPANY ‘Queen of Hearts’
(7/10) King Company is the brainchild of drummer Mirka Rantanen. It was in 2014 when the idea of an own band was born and it’s four years later that the sophomore full-length album can be bought in the record stores. To realize this idea the drummer decided to work with musicians he knew from the... Continue Reading →

(7/10) American rock outfit Nothing was formed in 2010 and it was a self-released EP that brought them a contract with relapse Records.

CD review THE AMITY AFFLICTION “Misery’
(6/10) The first song that was revealed from The Amity Affliction’s newest album ‘Misery’ was ‘Ivy (Doomsday)’. Being more then solely a video clip the single is part of a sort of short movie that’s split in three parts. Already at this early stage of the review I have to say that some more time...

CD review AIRRACE ‘Untold Stories’
(7/10) Airrace is a UK-based rock outfit that was originally formed in 1982. The band that opened for Meat Loaf and the mighty Queen in the 80’s regrouped in 2009, a year that faced a re-release of the ‘Shaft of Light’ album and a show played at Firefest festival. This year the band launches their... Continue Reading →
