CD review PROJECTED "Ignite My Insanity"

(9/10) Wait a second. Catchy melodies and heavy guitar riffing, where have we heard this earlier? True, Sevendust made use of this principle since many years and Projected does the same. This isn't a coincidence knowing that Sevendust guitarist John Conolly...

CD review MAN WITH A MISSION "Dead End in Tokyo"

(5/10) OK, you can like this stuff but you don’t have to. I guess this summarizes Man With A Mission very well. There’s nothing wrong with stretching the borders and there’s also nothing wrong with combining music and styles to something mind-blowing...

LP review "IRON MAGAZINE "Queen of Hell" EP

(8/10) Iron Magazine isn’t a new rock magazine. It’s the name of a band/project that describes themselves as ‘boundary-crushing-finno-canuck hard-prog team-up’. It might sound a bit crazy, but it is what it is and it’s the right description of what you...

CD review WOVENWAR "Honor is Dead"

(8/10) Wovenwar got on my personal radar when they opened for In Flames on their 2014 tour. That was almost to the point two years ago and I can remember very well the power the guys unleashed. Their music electrified the audience in the 013 in Tilburg....
