My World of Music – est. 2013
(5/10) Like everything in life also being a reviewer means sometimes chicken, sometimes feathers. In the case of Follow The Cipher it's more feathers than chicken. The only hard thing was to get oneself through this album a couple of times. The 'forward' button was damn close and the temptation of skipping some songs was... Continue Reading →
(9/10) Thrash metal pioneers Overkill returned to Oberhausen, Germany for playing a show with a special setlist. 30 years after having done their first video in the same area as being part of the Metal Hammer Roadshow, the New Jersey-based metal icons focussed on the legendary 'Feel the Fire' album and the extremely good 'Horrorscope'...

(8/10) After having released two excellent records, spread out over the last years, expectations were pretty high when it comes to „Six Must Die“.

(7/10) Since quite some years I‘m fascinated by the irresistible energy '77 spreads on their releases and even more on stage. The quarter from Spain seems to inhale the rock‘n‘roll spirit and exhale pure rock power. The quartet shows this full-blast approach on four longplayers more than well and it’s record number five that’s supposed to... Continue Reading →

The trio was... Continue Reading →
(7/10) The first thing that I have to face when starting a review is the name of the band I‘m writing about, esp. when it‘s about bands haven‘t had on the radar till now. Angelus Apatrida is such a band. With all respect, the name is a curveball to me, hard to keep in mind -... Continue Reading →
(8/10) That Australia has a wider musical offer then solely AC/DC and Kylie Minogue is a well-known fact.

Parkway Drive is their moniker and it’s... Continue Reading →

(9/10) Shinedown’s story in rock is an impressive one. What began in 2001 in Knoxville, Tennessee evolved to one of the most influential rock acts in the here and now.
