CD review BONEYARD DOG "Bluesbound Train"

CD review SISTER "Stand Up, Forward, March!"

(7/10) Wohoo. What a storm breaks loose on Sister's new album "Stand Up, Forward, March!". "Destination Dust" is more than an opener. This song is a wake-up call. The Swedish metal gang from Stockholm obviously didn't choose for a slow start into their...

Live review OPETH / SAHG, 013, Tilburg, 18.11.2016

It seems like I’m only visiting shows of Swedish bands over the last weeks. Dark Funeral, Grand Magus, Amon Amarth, Europe and now the mighty Opeth. However, in the end it shows the variety and quality of Swedish rock/metal music and that's what counts....

Live review EUROPE / TAX THE HEAT, TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, 14.11.2016

I think that the summer of '86 was one of the peak moments when it comes to highly melodic hardrock. Bon Jovi released their mega-seller "Slippery When Wet" which was something to expect since the guys had already some hits on the first two albums. The...

CD review GRAHAM BONNET BAND "The Book"

(7/10) I start this review a bit upside down. "The Book" comes with an additional bonus CD that contains the best of Graham's long history in classic rock music. The two Rainbow classics "All Night Long" and "Since You've Been Gone (a Russ Ballads cover)...

CD review GLENN HUGHES "Resonate"
