My World of Music – est. 2013

Almost two years ago, in summer of 2017, Accept played a special show at Wacken festival. It was a set that featured next to Accept also the Czech... Continue Reading →
(8/10) It's not new era Swedish metallers Enforcer are heading towards, but the new album is a significant change compared to what the guys released previously to 'Zenith'. If you listened to the first single release of the new longplayer you noticed changes. 'Die For the Devil' is throwing a lot of 80's Sunset Stripe... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Grand Magus, that’s Heavy Metal hailing from the North since many years. The trio from Stockholm, Sweden started in 1996 and what was more Stoner/Doom in the beginning evolved to Heavy Metal rather quickly. The well-known ‘Iron Will’ album from 2008 paved the way for bigger success and in the meantime Grand Magus is... Continue Reading →
(8/10) To a certain extend German metallers Ketzer become more and more an unpredictable outfit in the fields of black metal. After having release two savage albums it was the third longplayer, ‘Starless’, that has been like a curveball. The guys from Cologne readjusted their sound rather dramatically by adding a lot of atmospheric elements... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Dark Blue Inc. is an interesting outfit in many aspects. First of all it's the band members, all with a longer track record in rock and metal. The band is the brain child of Bonfire and Sainted Sinner guitarist Frank Pané who teamed up with other well-known musicians. Göran Edman is known from bands... Continue Reading →
(9/10) Richmond, VA is the homebase of this powerful Metal band that releases with 'Sulphur English' their fourth full-length album in their 13th year of existence. Frontman Mike Paparo describes the new album as being 'definitely a fuck-you to people' and I think it describes this longplayer extremely well. 'Sulphur English' is a raging record...

(7/10) Hamburg-based Dragger Threat are an outfit that's rather new. The starting point was in 2016 and the band released to date two EP's. Fans had to wait a while for the debut, a time span that ends on April 19th. Dagger Threat releases their debut 'Gestaltzerfall' and it's a rageous premier. Dagger Threat, that... Continue Reading →
The formation of the beast we now call Exodus began in Richmond, CA in 1979, and although many started their journey as fans a few years down the line, there is no debating that the early 80's was a time for major growth in the world of thrash metal, especially in the Bay Area of...

(9/10) 1990 was the starting year for The Quireboys, at least when it comes to their debut album. In fact, first activities began even earlier. Jonathan 'Spike' Gray laid the foundation of the band that became one of the most constant factors in British Rock music. I can't remember having listened to a The Quireboys... Continue Reading →
(6/10) Swedish Devil's Gun fires with 'Sing for the Chaos' a salvo of solid metal on you. The Småland metal unit, hailing from Växjö, premiered in 2016 with 'Dirty'n'Damned' and after a longer search it was traditional Heavy Metal that gave most energy. Therefor it's not a big surprise that also the the sophomore album... Continue Reading →

The singer and guitarist premiered with 'Sugar Chocolate 7 in... Continue Reading →
