(*/10) Soggy is from France and there is one thing for sure, these guys have nothing to do with traditional chanson. Beb, Eric Dars, Francois Tailleur and Olivier Hennegrave are more inspired by bands like MC5 and The Stooges. The guys started in 1978...

(6/10) I guess that YouDash from Poland are fans from Swedish extreme metal outfit Meshuggah, at least you could get this impression while listening to the band's debut "Astrophobia". The four-piece from Poland came into the picture in 2012 when the the...

Pink Floyd continues with vinyl reissues of their back catalogue. In January 2017, on the 20st to be precise, it's "The Final Cut" and "A Momentary Lapse of Reasons" that will hit the record stores. Both longplayers have been remastered and are, after...

Swedish metal outfit Opeth will re-release the first three records; "Orchid", MorningRise" and "My Arms Your Hearse", as CD and in a 180gr. vinyl version. These re-releases will come via Candlelight Records and the date you need to mark in your calendars...

(7/10) Eternal Idol is the name of a new melodic metal outfit, hailing from Vicenza. "The Unrevealed Secret" is the name of the band debut that was published by Frontiers Music a few days ago. Even though this album is a debut, it's the musicians that...

(7/10) Crossbones isn't a new outfit of Italian guitarist Dario Mollo. He started with the band already back in 1981, but it was his cooperation with Tony Martin and Glenn Hughes that brought him more into the spotlight. Now, in 2016, Mollo returns to...

(8/10) Maybe the days when Night Ranger filled the very big venues are over, but this doesn't mean that the relevance of the band became less over the last years; quite the opposite. Jack Blades, Brad Gillis, Kelly Keagy, Eric Levy and Keri Kelly can...

Gojira will embark on a tour through Europe and the UK in spring 2017. It will be headliner shows and HERE are the dates.

(8/10) It's more and more that I take a shine on what's In Extremo doing. For many years I could really find my way into their music, something that changed with the latest release "Quid Pro Quo". Lucky enough it's this album that was the base for the...

(5/10) I wonder what's the purpose of this release. I guess it's a kind of Christmas present for Enuff Z'Nuff die-hard fans since it doesn't really come with new material. Actually it does, since the songs haven't been released earlier, but they are from...

(7/10) The other day I received a CD from a band called Goldsmith. Never heard from the guys before and after digging a bit deeper into the origins of Goldsmith I found out that the four-piece from Germany is the brainschild of guitarist Michael Goldschmidt....

(7/10) I'm not really sure what I should think about MF Ruckus sophomore album "Thieves of Thunder". The first thing is the artwork since this is another album that proves that you shouldn't rate a longplayer based on the packaging. In my point of view...

Looking back on the festival edition 2016, and looking forward to celebrating again with you in 2017! August 11 + August 12, 2017 @ Graz, Austria www.metal-on-the-hill.com ...
