CD review LYNCH MOB "The Brotherhood"

CD review THE QUILL "Born From Fire"

(8/10) Swedish rock and metal has, to a big part, a homebase in either Gothenburg or Stockholm. The Quill doesn’t call any of these cities their home. The guys founded the band in Mönsterås which is smaller town at the Swedish East coast. The guys aren’t...

CD review BLESSED HELLRIDE "Bastards & Outlaws"

CD review GHOST "Meliora"

CD review GHOST "Meliora"

(8/10) Unrevealed names of musicians isn't something original but it still gives extra attention. A can remember the hype about Mekong Delta in the late 80's when there was a lot of guessing about who stands behind this name. Ghost follows the same principle...
