My World of Music – est. 2013
(8/10) Lunatic Soul is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Mariusz Duda. The very talented musician is known from his contribution to Riverside, a band he founded together with Piotr Grudziński, Piotr Kozieradzki and Jacek Melnicki. Next to Riverside Duda also works on solo releases. Duda started Lunatic Soul as a side-project to Riverside in 2008... Continue Reading →

(9/10) That 12 records and 27 years in metal doesn't equal routine and repetition, that is something Amorphis proves with their newest album 'Queen of Time' in a way that doesn't leave room for discussion. The Finns add these days with 'Queen of Time' a new longplayer to their discography that is as impressive as... Continue Reading →
( */10 ) I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with a band called Burn The Priest. However, a lot of you know Lamb Of God. Burn The Priest was the predecessor of Lamb Of God, having released two albums at the end of 90's. So Burn The Priest is the evil little... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Public Image Limited, also known as P.I.L., has a song in their repertoire entitled 'This is Not a Love Song'. This title came to my mind when I listend to the new album of Violation Wound, which isn't a 'love record'. It is though a record to love. The band is around since summer... Continue Reading →
(8/10) UK-based melodic rockers Vega are a regular guest on Markus' Heavy Music Blog and it's the band's fifth longplayer that leads to a next post. 'Only Human' is the title of Vega's new album and it's the opener that describes the album very well. 'Let's Have Fun Tonight' is the main credo on this... Continue Reading →
It's Prophets Of Rage that got quite some attention over the last months but there is another band that at least deserves the same level of notice: Powerflo. The band features musicians from Cypress Hill, downset, Biohazard, Fear Factory and Worst and it's these five guys that released a debut in summer last year. This... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Lords Of Black still belong to the group of bands that are rather new. The beginning of this Spanish metal outfit dates back to 2014, the year when the quartet premiered with a self-titled album. This first album led to some attention; also of Frontiers Music. The band inked a deal with the Italian... Continue Reading →
(6/10) One award is almost a safe bet when it comes to Lordi and their new album. The artwork belongs to the most stupid and pubescent ones in 2018. The five Finns were never famous for great cover artwork but this time they reached an all-time-low. My hope, that the music is better than the... Continue Reading →
(5/10) Like everything in life also being a reviewer means sometimes chicken, sometimes feathers. In the case of Follow The Cipher it's more feathers than chicken. The only hard thing was to get oneself through this album a couple of times. The 'forward' button was damn close and the temptation of skipping some songs was... Continue Reading →
(9/10) Thrash metal pioneers Overkill returned to Oberhausen, Germany for playing a show with a special setlist. 30 years after having done their first video in the same area as being part of the Metal Hammer Roadshow, the New Jersey-based metal icons focussed on the legendary 'Feel the Fire' album and the extremely good 'Horrorscope'... Continue Reading →
(9/10) At The Gates belongs to the spearhead of Swedish death metal, hailing from Gothenburg. Records like 'Slaughter of the Soul' belong to the timeless classics of death metal and it was the comeback album 'At War WithReality' that brought this legendary outfit back on the plate. 'To Drink From the Night Itself' is a... Continue Reading →
