(8/10) When a bunch of death metal maniacs comes together to start a new band, than this is something that needs attention. Firespawn is such a new band, founded by nobody less than Alex Impaler from Necrophobic, Victor Brandt and LG Petrov from Entombed...

(7/10) "Skeletons" is the name of Glenn Danzig's tenth studio record. It's a new release even though the singer with the unique voice worked on it already since many years. "Skeletons" isn't a regular studio album with new Danzig songs. Instead of it's...

And again Gothenburg. Here are Scumbag Millionaire, a band that released with "Gotta move" their second single. Inspired by bands such as The Hellacopters, the four guys just rock. I haven't heard of the band earlier, but when I listened to their new...

(9/10) "A Sort of Home Coming" is an impressive audio and video document of a group of musicians that started years and years ago as a doom band that came with quite some death metal influences. After such an entry into music Anathema moved step by step...

(7/10) Eventhough thrash metal is very much linked to the Bay Area and the Ruhrgebiet in Germany, there have been always thrash bands from the UK that made it into the spotlight. Onslaught is just one of them, but also bands like Sabbat and Slammer had...

(7/10) It wasn't too long ago when Swedish Fate's Right Band released their latest EP "Knucklebuster Hits". Now the guys from Umeå are back with a new five-track EP. "Smile" is a logical next step for the band, meaning that Fate's Right Band continues...

(8/10) The ones of you that like power metal and US metal are familiar with Cage, the band of metal siren Sean Peck and friends. The guys release a new album called "Ancient Evil"; a longplayer that is filled with a lot of real metal anthems. I was grown...

(8/10) If you want to mix an excellent drink you need the right in incrediences and the right way how to put them together. The new Skindred album reminded me very much to this metaphor. Skindred's crossover isn't new, at least the idea isn't something...

(7/10) The Shrine has with "Rare Breed" already album no.3 to their discography. Josh Landau, Court Murphy and Jeff Murray push again the pedal to the metal and released eleven new songs - all 70's and 80's based. The Shrine haven't had the intention...

(8/10) Swedish axeman Magnus Karlsson has a long history in metal. Most of you know him from his time with Primal Fear, but he also worked together with Magnum singer Bob Catley and the Kiske/Somerville project. In 2013 the guitarist published the first...
