(*/10) Almost to the date four decades ago the legendary Pink Floyd released with “Animals” and album that belongs to the milestones in the band's rich discography. The record is now, after twenty years, available again in a vinyl version and is the last...

(8/10) The title says it all. This album is the second part of the "Prayers For The Blessed" session. The first album was released in spring this year and volume 2 includes another 11 songs from this fruitful session. In case you think that this means...

(7/10) Broken Hands are a UK-based band, playing rock music that fits somewhere between Britrock a la Oasis and alternative rock. “Turbulence” is the band’s debut that tries to enlighten our grey November days, an ambition that partly works in reality....

(7/10) Heartbanger is a nice wordplay and it describes the music of this Barcelona-based project, very well. Xavi Mendez and his project is more about the heart than about headbanging. Instead of raw riffing the guy puts their focus on some nicely done...

(7/10) I start this review a bit upside down. "The Book" comes with an additional bonus CD that contains the best of Graham's long history in classic rock music. The two Rainbow classics "All Night Long" and "Since You've Been Gone (a Russ Ballads cover)...

(*/10) There is a clear sign that Christmas waits around the corner - a new Trans-Siberian Orchestra release. Also in 2016 isn't exeptional. "The Ghosts of Christams Eve" is the newest release of this well-established rock opera project. Is it really...

(9/10) Glenn Hughes is belonging to a group of musicians that can be looked at as being dinosaurs of rock music. It was in 1970 when the singer and bassplayer appeared on the scene and since then he was involved in so many bands and projects that it's...

(7/10) "La Curandera" is the newest output from Clutch and it features eight songs of this four-piece which have been released already earlier in time. It was in 2015 when this record hit the market, at that time being meant as a support for a beast cancer...
