Chip Z'Nuff and his bandmates are releasing a new album called 'Finer Than Sin'. The band, which celebrated its first successes in the golden era of sleaze rock, had never stopped releasing more or less good albums. While other hyped bands of the time have fallen into troubled waters or ceased to exist, bandleader Enuff... Continue Reading →
Autograph's 1984 animation anthem 'Turn Up the Radio' catapulted the band into the charts. The song climbed to #29 in the US charts and Autograph were the talk of the town. With a title like that, radio airplay was guaranteed and something big could have developed. However, Autograph could not turn the initial triumph into... Continue Reading →
Nickelback is as successful as they are controversial. But if you sell more than 10 million records in the USA, as with 'All the Right Reasons', you seem to be doing something right. These days the four Canadians have with 'Get Rollin'' a new album in the starting blocks and the tenth studio longplayer starts... Continue Reading →

Tyler Leads were completely unknown to me in 2018. The guys were on tour together with Hank Von Hell (R.I.P.) and had the unpleasant task to play in front of an almost empty hall. Nevertheless it was impressive with which passion and energy Tyler Leads performed. Since the music was really impressive too, it was... Continue Reading →
When Ugly Kid Joe announces a new record, there is a certain anticipation, accompanied by a certain skepticism about what we can expect. These mixed feelings also came up when 'Rad Wings of Destiny' fluttered into the house. The quintet got off to a flying start with 'America's Least Wanted'. That was in 1992 and... Continue Reading →
That the new record from Skid Row is a great album comes as a surprise and was yet predictable. The band, which created a timeless classic with 'Slave to the Grind', has also been quite successful over the past few years.

It was 'Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones' that catapulted Black Veil Brides to the top of contemporary hard rock, especially in the USA.

One of the first white metal bands were Stryper. The California-based group started in the 80s and there were several things that made them the talk of the town.

David Ellefson and Jeff Scott Soto are well-known names in the rock and metal business. The connection between the two musicians came about in a broader sense through the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

In addition, the guitarist from Adelaide, Australia released a whole series of solo albums of which 'O' in 2020 is the most recent. These days, a follow-up, 'Rock Candy',... Continue Reading →
For many years Alter Bridge has been one of the most popular and successful bands in recent rock and metal history. A cornerstone for this successful career of the band is the consistent line-up.
