Barcelona, known for soccer and sunny beaches, also has a quite vital metal scene. Even death metal has a home in the sunny city on the Mediterranean coast. One of the bands having their homebase in Barcelona is Decapitated Christ. Some of you will be familiar with the name, while others will shrug their shoulders.... Continue Reading →
Go Ahead And Die is a kind of family business; better said another father and son project. Max Cavalera and his son Igor are the driving force of this project which also includes Johnny Valles (d). The latter replaces Zach Coleman and delivers his debut on 'Unhealthy Mechanisms'. Go Ahead And Die released a first... Continue Reading →
Duff McKagan can be considered one of the real greats in music business without a guilty conscience. From small smoky clubs to the big arena shows, McKagan has experienced everything in his career. With Guns'N'Roses he enjoyed the big successes and with Velvet Revolver another successful band followed. With 'Lighthouse' the songwriter and bassist releases... Continue Reading →
Creeper were previously unknown to me and I was surprised that the band already sold out the Roundhouse. The band, founded in 2014, celebrated the greatest triumphs in their home country, where they stormed into the top 20 of the charts. After only two full-length albums, 'Sanguivore', the third release of the Brits, hits the... Continue Reading →
Somehow I always have the feeling of a relatively young band when it comes to Angelus Apatrida. Well, at least as far as the time span in which the foursome is active is concerned, it should be said that the band has been of age for quite some time. Formed in 2000, it is now... Continue Reading →
Berzerker Legion is a collaboration that began in 2016. Tomas Elofsson and Alwin Zuur started the band and very quickly found some euphoric comrades-in-arms in Fredrik Isaksson, James Steward and Jonny Pettersson. Together they released 'Obliterate the Weak', a debut album that hit record stores in 2020. Certainly, the upcoming pandemic wasn't exactly conducive to... Continue Reading →
The musical spectrum of guitarist Greg Mackintosh is diversified. On the one hand, there is the central mosaic piece called Paradise Lost, with which Mackintosh enjoyed and celebrates his greatest successes. Next to it is Host, a project in which the guitarist, together with Nick Holmes, gives free rein to the influences of the 90s... Continue Reading →
It took five years until fans of Sulphur Aeon can finally hold a new album in their hands. After the extremely accomplished 'The Scythe of Cosimc Chaos' the expectations were high and it wouldn't be surprising if the guys from North Rhine-Westphalia had felt a certain pressure. Well, if you listen to 'Seven Crowns and... Continue Reading →
Theocracy is not exactly what you might call a new band. The band's founding year was many years ago. It was 2002 in Athens, Georgia when guitarist and singer Matt Smith formed Theocracy and a self-titled debut album came out a year later. Since that moment, Theocracy has been a steady force in the heavy... Continue Reading →
Amorphis needs no long introduction, as the band has been an integral part of the metal world for many years. These days, with 'Queen of Time (Live at Tavastia)' a new live album of the Finns will be released and it is a little bit different than the usual live releases. When the world was... Continue Reading →
Michael Voss is a real Status Quo fan. It was the sound of the band and especially of their guitarist Rock Parfitt that impressed a young guy from Germany in 1979, when Status Quo played a show at Halle Münsterland as a part of their ‘If You Can’t Stand the Heat’-tour. Voss was a 14-year-old... Continue Reading →
‘Midnight Junction’, that is the title of the sixth album from Eric Sardinas which will hit the stores these days. The Florida-born guitarist moved to around in his homeland before landing in California in 1990. At this time of his career, Sardinas played on the street and in small pubs to make his living. Known... Continue Reading →
Each new release from Ronnie Atkins is a little treat, considering the circumstances and Atkins' tireless fight against cancer. Since the diagnosis in 2019, the exceptional singer from Denmark has released two successful albums and wastes no precious time at all. Live shows with his own band and also quite a few shows with Avantasia... Continue Reading →
Poland's sludge/doom band Dopelord have a new album in the pipeline.
