Norwegian/American hardrockers TNT will release a new album. It's not a studio record, but it is a live recording which reflect on the three decades of the melodic rockers. Supported by the Trondheim Symphonic Orchestra the band performed highlights from...

(8/10) Richie Kotzen, guitarist from Reading, Pennsylvania, which I guess doesn't need to be introduced to most of you. The 44 years old gitar player has a long history in rock and metal and can look back already on a long history. But he also was looking...

(9/10) "Songs from November" is the new album for music mastermind Neal Morse. The multi instrumentalist is well known from bands like Spock's Beard and Transatalantic. He belongs to the established musicians in the prog rock scene and this is what I...

(8/10) X-Drive is a new project with partly well known musicians. Funny enough it's only the founder of the band who is not known - yet. His name is Jeremy Brunner, a guitarist from Oregon, who found his way to California. Without knowing anybody in LA...

(9/10) Bernie Marsden is one of my heros from my early days in rock. Whitesnake was one of the bands I really liked in the beginning of the 80's and the man at the six string guitar was nobody else as Mr. Bernie Marsden (together with the unbelievabl...

On April 4, 2014 a lot of well known musicians gathered in the Royal Albert Hall in London. The reason for this happening was a sad one. It was the death of keyboard legend Jon Lord. The show was under the header "Celebrating Jon Lord". One of the songs...

(6/10) To start with the annoying thing is maybe not the best topic to begin a review with, but when I look into the songs and the music of Adrenaline Rush I must say that the vocals are the weak part on the debut of the band. Singer Tåve Wanning hasn't...

On September 26 Audrey Horne will release their new studio album "Pure heavy" followed by a tour through Europe together with 77 and Pet The Preacher. Sounds like a cool package AUDREY HORNE Support: 77 Opener: PET THE PREACHER 26.11.14 Germany Essen...

(7/10) Blood God is the heavy metal version of death metal band Debauchery. But except of the music things don't seem to be that much different. Fake blood and girls combined with heavy riffs is the focus of the 'new' band from Thomas Gurrath, alias Mr....

(8/10) Our blond guitar wizard from Bochum, Axel Rudi Pell, released his newest album "Into the storm" a few months ago (see review link at the end of this post). End of August SPV will publish a deluxe version of the album. Next to the ten original tracks...

( 8/10) Paul Gilbert is one of the most important shred guitarists from the eighties and he still keeps this status till today. The albums from his band Racer X speak a clear language. Esp. the debut is still one of my all time faves. Next to those more...

(9/10) Blues Pills is one of the most talented bands in the over-crowded retro trend. For me they belong to the top three ones. Unfortunately their debut album comes pretty late into the stores, but I hope, that this doesn't limit the attention for the...

(9/10) Oh man. Skid Row rocks. This is what the five guys from New Jersey prove again. It seems that the band is like wine - the older the better. Eventhough they had their biggest successes in the 80's I think, that they are even better today. Skid Row...
