(9/10) Music and art is the opposite of a soulless carrier of notes and tones. Music is a vehicle that transports feelings and emotion - from love to anger and back.

The quartet, consisting of Martijn Mansvelders, Mathijs Bodt, Mo Truijens and Jos Roosen, started Komatsu in 2010 and debuted in 2013 with ‘Manu Armata’. Komatsu plays... Continue Reading →
(8/10) If you’re a regular follower of Markus’ Heavy Music Blog (which I can recommend … hahaha), you recognised that I sometimes write about releases that might not be metal or sometimes even not rock music.
