My World of Music – est. 2013
(7/10) 'One Night in Milan' isn't the first Frontiers Music live release that was recorded in the Italian metropol and I guess it will not be the last one either. This time it's hard rock veterans Quiet Riot that played a show at Frontiers Rock festival 2018, a show that has been recorded and is... Continue Reading →
(7/10) Kane Roberts is known for being the guitarist of Alice Cooper in the second half of the ‘80s and he’s also known for his ‘Rambo-like’ appearance that makes a guitar look like a tooth stick (although it was shaped as a M-80 machine gun). Next to the successful collaboration with Alice Cooper, Roberts also... Continue Reading →

(*/10) Steelheart will get all the credit for being a successful rock outfit in the early '90s. The guys released with 'Steelherat' and 'Tangled in Rain' to formidable hardrock albums that scored good success in the era of an upcoming grunge hype. Unfortunately, a drastic line-up change led to a new situation and the band... Continue Reading →
(7/10) Palace is pretty much of a one-man show. The rock outfit was founded by singer and multi-instrumentalist Michael Palace and the band is truly his brainchild. ‘Binary Music’ is the second album of Palace, done by Michael Palace in the lead and with Daniel Flores (d) as being the one adding the heartbeat to...

(*/10) It was in 2017 when singer Graham Bonnet together with the Graham Bonnet Band toured in Japan, promoting the latest release ‘The Book’. Since Bonnet is the founding member of the legendary Alctarazz the idea was born to add three Alcatrazz reunion shows to the Japan tour. What started as a thought became reality....

(6/10) Johnny Gioeli is one of the best singers in hardrock. and he enriched albums of Hardline and Axel Rudi Pell with his powerful voice. Next to the vocals, it's the stage presence that makes him stand out from the rest. As soon as the singer enters the stage he's like a wildcat you can't... Continue Reading →
(7/10) A bit more than a year ago, Ten released with 'Gothica' their latest album. It's a good one that showcased a band being back on track after having released the average "Isle De Muerta'. Beginning of November this year Gary Hughes and band mates return with their next strike, an album entitled ‘Illuminati’. Ten developed their... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Two and a half years ago Nordic Union all of a sudden appeared from nowhere and delivered a debut that was great. It clearly showed that the historic competition between Denmark and Sweden should stay history since a partnership obviously can lead to something by far greater. No less than Ronnie Atkins represents the... Continue Reading →
(7/10) Stephen Pearcy is the voice of Ratt. The frontman with the unique vocal style enriched hardrock milestones such as 'Dancing Undercover' and also hits like 'Round and Round' are closely connected to Pearcy and his way of singing. Next to the Ratt longplayers the frontman also worked on solo albums and his newest strike... Continue Reading →
(7/10) This album is a real curveball. The artwork shows the moniker Nazareth, but as soon as you press the button it sounds like another band. The thing is, that Nazareth's sound is so much connected to the unique voice of Dan McCaffery. The fact that the iconic singer had to leave the band in... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Three years, that was the waiting time of Impellitteri fans for a new longplayer of the guitar wizard from the US. On October 12th, the wait is offer. It's the day when the eleventh album of the six-stringer arrives at the record stores. Named 'The Nature of the Beast' the album comes with 12... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Swedish hardrocker Treat are a longtime player in the fields of melodic hardrock. The first and successful era ended with a split in 1993 before Treat reunited in 2006. The second era also included some good longplayer, starting with 'Coup de Grace'. I have to admit that the 1987 'Dreamhunter' album is still my... Continue Reading →
(6/10) Artwork and moniker remind of legendary Whitesnake and I think it's a planned thing and for sure drives attention by its visual similarities. However, it's also misleading since the band has not much to do with David Coverdale and Co.. Frontman Stefan Berggren was the singer though for Company Of Snakes, a band started... 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...
