(9/10) Betontod is one of these bands that are gaining momentum more and more. One year after having released their latest longplayer “Traum von Freiheit” the band comes back with a brand new record. “Revolution” will be available on January 13th, a longplayer...

(*/10) Soggy is from France and there is one thing for sure, these guys have nothing to do with traditional chanson. Beb, Eric Dars, Francois Tailleur and Olivier Hennegrave are more inspired by bands like MC5 and The Stooges. The guys started in 1978...

I got Social Distortion on my radar when the guys released “Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell”, an album that saw the light of day in 1992. Mike Ness and his gang filled this record with awesome rock songs. “Cold Feelings", the opener, is still one of...

(8/10) Fans can look back on three decades of Sick Of It All - an anniversary the band celebrates together with their fans by releasing a new EP with five tracks that are reflecting Sick Of It All with 100%. The New York hardcore dinosaur stays true to...

(7/10) As already reported earlier, Wakrat is the name of a cooperation of one American and two Frenchmen. Tim Commerford is the bassplayer of this trio, known from the iconic Rage Against Machine and the ground winning Prophets Of Rage. The four-stringer...

(6/10) To be honest, I haven’t heard about Stiffy Jones before and I had to get myself up to speed when it comes to the outfit from Scandinavia. This four-piece band was founded in 2005 in Stockholm and it’s Johan Keskitalo (v/g), Calle Sällström(v/g),...

(8/10) I guess that this review isn’t of great interest for some of my readers since it’s about a punk band from Germany that sings in their 1st language – German. However, this new album “Doofgesagte leben laenger” came out of leftfield and I was more...

To my surprise German fun punk band Abstürzende Brieftauben are quite active again. There's a new album and the guys are on tour as well. Probabaly not pure heavy metal but a lot of fun connected to some memories. 04.11.16 Würzburg Posthalle // Support...

When death metal and grindcore started in the mid 80's things began slow, but not easy. And it wasn't a silent start either. These extreme styles in heavy metal have been like a blast wthin the existing metal scene, adding a new shade to heavy music....

(9/10) I think that 'simple' and 'puristic' are two keywords that characterize Darkthrone's newest album "Arctic Thunder". It might be that 'simple' has a negative meaning but not how I use it in this context. The beauty of this blackened release is the...

Grave Pleasures from Finland will release a new 7" called "Funeral Party" on November 18th, Singer Mat McNerney states: "We’re surfing the apocalypse again and this time with the reverb button back on. Back to the new old sound and back to a Finnish lineup....

(8/10) I assume that "With Regrets" is more than just a name for a record. I think it's also Expire's way of saying goodbye after seven years of hardcore punk. In those years Expire grew to an important band that reached a wider fanbase, still beloning...
