CD review KING MOTHERSHIP ‘The Ritual’
King Mothership is brainchild of Spencer Sotelo, known as frontman of the progressive powerhouse Periphery. The roots of 'The Ritual' go back far in time, days between the first and the second Periphery albums. It was in 2011, when Sotelo started to work on song that didn't really fit to what Periphery is into. This... Continue Reading →

CD review ROBERT PLANT ‘Digging Deeper – Suberranea’
To introduce Robert Plant is a totally unnecessary thing since if you ended up reading my blog, you are into rock music for sure. The legendary Led Zeppelin frontman has a long musical vita, with Led Zeppelin, but also when it comes to solo releases of which 'Picture at Eleven' was the first one that... Continue Reading →
GAUPA, exciting music from Sweden
The other day an album crossed my path that might has been a bit under-represented this year. The moniker of the band is Gaupa and the guys are from Sweden, from Falun to be precise. Gaupa is a quintet, consisting of Erik Jerka-Sävstroem (b), Jimmy Hurtig (d), Danial Nygren (g), David Rosberg (g) and Emma... Continue Reading →

CD review BROTHER FIRETRIBE ‘Feel the Burn’
Brother Firetribe started their ear-candy production again and the result is their fifth longplayer called 'Feel the Burn'. That the guys are on fire when it comes to catchy Rock songs is what they showed on their earlier records and the new release didn't bring a change of musical direction.

CD review GAZPACHO ‘Fireworker’
Norwegian Art-Rock veterans Gazpacho are for sure belonging to spearhead of progressive music, hailing from the Scandinavian country.

CD review AYREON ‘Transitus’
A release that has carved the moniker Ayreon on the cover artwork is always more than merely a longplayer.

The latest album was the 2017 release 'The Source', followed... Continue Reading →
DVD review FLYING COLORS ‘Third Stage: Live in London’
The inflationary usage of the term ‘supergroup’ is why I’m hesitantly using the expression. In case of Flying Colors though, ‘supergroup’ describes the band in an excellent fashion. There is no other way to summarize a musical powerhouse that includes Steve Morse, Neal Morse, Mike Portnoy, Dave LaRue and Casey McPherson. The band's release pattern... Continue Reading →
CD review DEREK SHERINIAN ‘The Phoenix’
Hard Rock and Metal, that means guitar riffs and a roaring rhythm section, all with an iconic frontman in the center. Often placed in the background and away from the spotlight are keyboarders and their instrument. All the more it is important that top line keyboarders step out of the shades to promote instrument and... Continue Reading →
