CD review CRYSTAL PALACE "Dawn of Eternity"

(8/10) Crystal Palace started back in 1994 which means they are more than twenty years in business and their debut "On the Edge of the World" dates back to 1995. However, the guys never had a real break-through and even the hymn for Berlin's icehockey...

CD review JORN "Heavy Rock Radio"

CD review RICHARDS/CRANE "Richards/Crane"

CD review JIM BREUER & THE REGULATORS "Songs From the Garage"

(8/10) Metal and comedy goes together very well. Bands like Spinal Taps and Steel Panther are good examples, the latter being still very successful by reaching a bigger crowd of metalheads. Bit there have been also comedians that got a slot on the billing...

CD review ZOAX "Zoax"
