The trio released with ‘With Man in Charge’ a remarkable debut that’s now followed by the sophomore longplayer ‘Dying to Live, Living to Die’.

A couple of week before starting 'The Sound of Scars'-tour, Life Of Agony asked local bands to apply for the opening slot for each of the German shows. The ‚winner‘ for Hamburg is Blast Bomb, a band with a sound that fits in a great fashion into the Hardcore/Metal context of this night. Some hard... Continue Reading →
(8/10) Swedish hard rockers Crashdïet are a band that didn’t take the easy way. Their journey, starting in 2000, was a bumpy ride with many ups and serious downs. The first stroke of fate hit the band in 200 when frontman and founding member Dave Lepard committed suicide. After some first thoughts of stopping with... Continue Reading →

(8/10) I wasn't really excited about Warrior Soul's latest album, which mainly had to do with the sound of 'Back on the Lash'. This deficit is swiped away with 'Rock'n'Roll Disease'.

(8/10) US-punk ambassadors Zebrahead had their foundation in the late '90s and it's 'Brain Invaders' being theirnewest delivery in the here and now. The quintet recorded 14 new songs with the first one being a real musical wrecking ball. I had to check the CD if it's right one that went into the player. 'When... Continue Reading →
(9/10) Backyard Babies was never a band that was known for quick deliveries. The quartet from Stockholm instead is known for excellent records that see the light of day in an unsteady pattern. The common denominator of each of the seven albums up to date is the terrific interpretation of hard rocking music, which the... Continue Reading →
(8/10) It’s not the first time that Shit The Cow appears on MHMB. The Swedish rockers release new EP’s on a very regular base, 12” that mainly features 4-6 songs.

(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...
