(7/10) With hawk eyes the UK-based quartet observes the world and everything that going on these days. But let's take it step by step. Hawk Eyes started in 2004 and release three longplayers since then. An informal hiatus caused some radio-silence during the last years but now they are back with their next longplayer. Record...

(5/10) One of the most colorful German Rock band was Vice. Having a look on the artwork of the debut demanded sunglasses, so bright and garish the clothing has been. Steel Panther looks actually quite greyish compared to Vice’s artwork. Unfortunately the musical aspect couldn’t compete and as a consequence things slowed down dramatically. Era...

(8/10) UK Hardcore band Brutality Will Prevail comes out of the woods with their powering new release entitled 'Misery Sequence'.

The wait is over in September this year. ‘Orbis... Continue Reading →

(9/10) After having listened to Entombed A.D.'s new album 'Bowels of Earth' I had to think more than ones of the video for 'The Winner Has Lost', which was shot at Warpigs brewery in Copenhagen. Entombed A.D. and Warpigs' beer has a few things in common. Both aren't mainstream, both have edges, both have an... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Minimalistic when it comes to the amount of songs and maximizing intensity on the other hand is how the new longplayer of Danish Black metal outfit Orm can be described best.

(9/10) I don’t think that I need to introduce Tarja to you. The former Nightwish singer, celebrating big success with the Finnish metallers, is well-known. After having parted way with Nightwish, Tarja started to put a focus on her solo career, being at least as successful as the days with the Finnish Symphonic Metal masters.... Continue Reading →
(8/10) The more bands are busy with image, gimmicks and storytelling the higher is the risk of being distracted from paying attention to their music. In some cases this distraction is planned/welcomed but not in this specific case of Swedish dragon chasers Twilight Force. Three years after the six guys from Falun released ‘Heroes of...
