CD review CRAZY LIXX "Crazy Lixx"

Veröffentlicht am 20. November 2014 von Markus W. in Crazy Lixx, Hardrock, Rock, CD Review, News, Def Leppard, Kiss, Motley Crue

CD review CRAZY LIXX "Crazy Lixx"

(8/10) Crazy Lixx are big fans from bands like Kiss, Mötley Crüe and Aerosmith. At least listening to their music gives you this impression. The band from Malmö, Sweden plays sleaze rock that brings you back to the glorious days in the 80's. Not for nothing...

CD review RATED X "Rated X"

CD review RATED X "Rated X"

(8/10) I think that the term 'supergroup' is overused and I also think that Rated X isn't one of those. But they are a bunch of very experienced and passionated musicians that have proven their musical capabilities in many hardrock/metal projects. Karl...

CD review MAGNUM "On Christmas day" EP

(8/10) Right before the winter tour of Magnum the band released a new single. The name is "On Christmas day" which fits perfectly in the season. The song is a typical Magnum track with all the trademarks of the legendary hardrockers from the UK. It is...

CD review GAELERI "Gates of Rome"

(7/10) gaeleri from Sweden is back with a new album. The band that started in 1992 released albums during the 90's and had the latest release in 2002. It was "A bright day" that has been the last album before the band disbanded. Now a jump in time. Ten...

CD review FOO FIGHTERS "Sonic highways"

(8/10) The excitement is big when Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters release a new album. Eventhough he title is "Sonic highways" the longplayer can't be seen as the soundtrack of the eight episodes covering series with the same name. But there is a link...

(8/10) "Let us burn" is the new live release from Dutch symphonic rockers Within Temptation. The set includes 3 dics - one DVD/BluRay and 2 CD. The story around this release is an interesting one. One of the DVDs contains the "Elements" show in Antwerp...

CD review WHITESNAKE "Live in 1984 - Back to the bone"

(*/10) My first thought was 'another live album from Whitesnake'. And in one or another way this is also correct. But there is a thought behind "Live in 1984 - Back to the bone". It was 30 years ago, in 1984, when Whitesnake released their "Slide it in"...

CD review NIGHTINGALE "Retribution"

(8/10) There is no Yin without a Yang. This goes also for Dan Swano too. The musician from Finspang, Sweden lives out both parts in his music. If the Yin is the death metal he played/produced with bands like Bloodbath and Edge Of Sanity, it is the Yang...

CD review SPIDERS "Shake electric"

(9/10) Gothenburg seems to be a creative hub that brings so many new exciting bands up to the surface that it becomes almost scary. Spiders is on of those bands. And the band doesn't play death metal. Yes, there are Gothenburg guys playing other music...

(7/10) Khaos is a Swiss/American cooperation with the drivers Chandler Mogel and Mark Rossi. They have founded the Khaos in 2012 and have released with "Risen" a new longplayer. The band, actually it's a project, plays alternative rock/metal and the name...

CD review BULLETRAIN "Start talking"

(7/10) Helsingborg is a smaller town in the south west of Sweden with a nice smaller venue called 'Tivoli'. And Helsingborg is the hometown of Bulletrain. The band founded in 2006 by Mattias Persson (g) and Joan Tillheden (d). The guys completed the line-up...
