(9/10) Rival Sons is one of the rising stars that constantly shone brighter over the last 10 years. The quartet premiered in 2009 and since then each new longplayer scored better than the previous one. 'Hollow Bones' was the latest and greatest in Rival Sons discography with chart entries in many countries. Now it's up... Continue Reading →
(9/10) Flight is hailing from Oslo, Norway. The band was founded in 2012 as a trio before the guys added with Kristian Ingvaldsen a second guitarist in 2013. The Norwegian quartet premiered in 2015 with a self-titled album, acting as a springboard for inking a deal with High Roller Records. ‘A Leap Through Matter’ is... Continue Reading →
Hallows' Eve in Haarlem and the first band that enters the stage comes with the moniker of The Zombies - what a match. Now, if you're a bit deeper into rock music and 50+, you know that The Zombies has nothing to to with Helloween and scary sounds (spoiler alarm: those came later). The Zombies... Continue Reading →

(7/10) If you just listen to the music of Naked Six without knowing anything about the band you could locate them in the greater Seattle/Portland area. The alternative rock the trio plays has definitely some references to grunge. The unconformity and the wildness of bands like Nirvana and the doom passion of Soundgardeleadds to exciting mix...

(8/10) If there would be an award for ‘Most live shows in one year’ I guess vintage rockers Earthless would be a more than a nominee. The guys have toured extensively in 2018 and what is more obvious than arranging some recording equipment and tape a show. The moment this idea turned into reality was... Continue Reading →
(8/10) What makes more sense than the real ‘Spaceman’ recording an album entitled ‘Spaceman’? Exactly, nothing makes more sense. Kiss founding member Ace Frehley is the first ‘Spaceman’ of Kiss and will ever be. Although Frehley isn’t part of the multi-selling hardrock outfit since 2002 he is still active as Ace Frehley with really good... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Berlin-based Kadavar is a band that really gained momentum over the last years. Their latest studio album, Rough Times', belongs to the best records the classic rock genre recently added to the offer and after having done some excellent studio albums the band decided to go for a second live record. Kadavar, that's Christoph... Continue Reading →
(7/10) Brant Bjork’s musical history is a long one and it’s legendary Kyuss that was, next to the success of the band itself, a springboard for new adventures in the fields of rock.

(7/10) Swedish Iron Lamb will release their newest longplayer end of October. ‘Blue Haze’ is the crucial album number three in the bands history and follows ‘Fool’s Gold’, which saw the light of day in 2015. The new record isn’t an album that’s extremely overloaded with songs. Actually it’ a rather limited amount of music... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Uriah Heep are real veterans in rock. Having a band up and running for 47 years is an impressive endeavor. In these almost five decades Mick Box and band released 24 studio records and it is 'Living the Dream' being the next one that sits right in the starting blocks. It goes without saying that...

(8/10) It’s not by conincidents that Dream Child sounds very much like ‘Dream Evil’. The moniker is inspired by the Dio album and “Dream Child’ was Goldy’s nickname from these days. So far so good, but let’s begin from start. Dream Child is a new metal formation that comprises of some scene veterans and like... Continue Reading →
(9/10) Doom masters The Skull premiered not that long ago. OK, it was in 2014 when “For Those Which are Asleep’ hit the record stores, an album that was equally acclaimed by fans and media. One of the reasons for success was and is an experienced gang of musicians that came together to do what... Continue Reading →
