My World of Music – est. 2013
(8/10) What came a bit of leftfield last week was the new album of Korn frontman Jonathan Davis. At least I haven’t had it on my list and the more I was excited to listen to the newest delivery of the charismatic Korn-frontman. Next to all his years with Korn, Davis also has a longer...

(8/10) Love/Hate was a not unsuccessfully operating American sleaze metal band in the second half of the 80's and early 90'. 'Wasted in America', the sophomore album, was a bigger success and also the following 'Let's Rumble' faced a chart entry. Unfortunately the quartet couldn't maintain their successful career in times when grunge and alternative... Continue Reading →
(8/10) One of last decade’s shooting stars in classic rock is Graveyard. The four Swedes began in 2006 and debut with a self-titled album the same year. It was Tee Pee Records and their great sense for new bands that led to the album number one. ‘Graveyard’ was the springboard for the band signing with... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Female-fronted powerhouse Liv Sin, successor of Sister Sin, added a new EP to their discography. The disc is entitled ‘Inverted’ and follows the debut 'Follow Me' from 2017. Three songs found a spot on the short tracklist of this mini album. These three tunes are the first output with a contribution of the entire... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Dizzy Reed is no less than the keyboarder of Guns’n’Roses, which he joined in 1990. He was part of the two legendary “Use Your Illusion” releases and is the meantime, next to Axel Rose himself, the most consistent member of Guns’n’Roses. Next to being part of this iconic rock band, Reed also worked with... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Subsignal allowed themselves two years of time to work on their next delivery. Work has been finished and the next longplayer is supposed to hit the shelfs end of May this year. “La Muerte” is release number five of a band that belongs to the spearhead of German progressive rock music. The band, that was... Continue Reading →
(9/10) Canadian death metallers Kataklysm finished work on their next studio album entitled ‘Meditations’. The title of this album led to a smile because the album is definitely no soundtrack for meditation. So, if you were worried about what this chosen name means for the band’s music I can comfort you – things are as... Continue Reading →
(8/10) If there is one band that seriously carries-on the heritage of death metal legend Death it‘s Gruesome. The band, founded by axeman Matt Harvey and drummer Gus Rios, with both being involved in the Death To All touring activity, debut in 2015 with a raw and brutal debut entitled „Savage Land“. Two EP‘s followed and... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Lunatic Soul is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Mariusz Duda. The very talented musician is known from his contribution to Riverside, a band he founded together with Piotr Grudziński, Piotr Kozieradzki and Jacek Melnicki. Next to Riverside Duda also works on solo releases. Duda started Lunatic Soul as a side-project to Riverside in 2008... Continue Reading →
(9/10) That 12 records and 27 years in metal doesn't equal routine and repetition, that is something Amorphis proves with their newest album 'Queen of Time' in a way that doesn't leave room for discussion. The Finns add these days with 'Queen of Time' a new longplayer to their discography that is as impressive as... Continue Reading →
( */10 ) I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with a band called Burn The Priest. However, a lot of you know Lamb Of God. Burn The Priest was the predecessor of Lamb Of God, having released two albums at the end of 90's. So Burn The Priest is the evil little... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Public Image Limited, also known as P.I.L., has a song in their repertoire entitled 'This is Not a Love Song'. This title came to my mind when I listend to the new album of Violation Wound, which isn't a 'love record'. It is though a record to love. The band is around since summer... Continue Reading →
(8/10) UK-based melodic rockers Vega are a regular guest on Markus' Heavy Music Blog and it's the band's fifth longplayer that leads to a next post. 'Only Human' is the title of Vega's new album and it's the opener that describes the album very well. 'Let's Have Fun Tonight' is the main credo on this... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Lords Of Black still belong to the group of bands that are rather new. The beginning of this Spanish metal outfit dates back to 2014, the year when the quartet premiered with a self-titled album. This first album led to some attention; also of Frontiers Music. The band inked a deal with the Italian... Continue Reading →
(6/10) One award is almost a safe bet when it comes to Lordi and their new album. The artwork belongs to the most stupid and pubescent ones in 2018. The five Finns were never famous for great cover artwork but this time they reached an all-time-low. My hope, that the music is better than the... Continue Reading →
