CD review 7 MILES TO PITTSBURGH "Seven Miles to Pittsburgh"

(8/10) 7 Miles To Pittsburgh is a bit of a strange name for a band but I must say that it stays in mind. I have no idea about what happens 7 miles outside of Pittsburgh and what triggered Andrew Elt, Martin Helmantel and Joris Lindner to go for this name,...

CD review 42 DECIBEL "Overloaded"

(8/10) The ones of you who saw AC/DC's live DVD “Live at River Plate” know that the Argentinean heart beats for more than purely tango music. The vibe in this crowd was just amazing, celebrating each of the hardrock classics from Down Under. Knowing this...

Live report DEEP PURPLE,  Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam, 02.06.2017

The title of Deep Purple’s fantastic new album “inFinite” leaves quite some space for speculation and interpretation, especially considering the capital ‘F’ as part of the album name. Does this mean that the iconic pioneers in rock will come closer to...

CD review HAREM SCAREM "United"

(8/10) Harry Hess and his band ended their five years hiatus in 2013. It was the 20 years anniversary edition of their awesome “Mood Swings” album that also included three new songs. Working on those felt like a re-energizer for the band, leading to the...

CD review INGLORIOUS "II"

(8/10) These five guys share a common passion for classic rock. Bands like Deep Purple, Rainbow and Whitesnake are present more than ones with some cross-references on Inglorious' new album. The debut, which was released in 2016, made it already very...

CD review AVATARIUM "Hurricanes and Halos"

(9/10) One of last years newcomers is definitely Swedish rock/metal outfit Avatarium. I can remember the moment when "Moonhorse", the first song I heard from them, just blew me away. The combination of atmospheric moments in a context of doom metal and...

CD review SNAKECHARMER "Second Skin"

(9/10) One of the first bands that brought me to hard rock music and metal later on was Whitesnake. "Trouble" was their first album I bought and it was a jaw-dropping experience. That Whitesnake became that popular was something you could guess at that...

CD review ROCK GODDESS "It's More Than Rock'n'Roll"

(6/10) It feels like the band needed ten years for each song on this three track EP. Of course this isn’t the case but it’s a fact that the London-based trio published a debut back in 1983 with two more records that followed. Rock Goddess is Jody Turner...
