CD review THREE TRAPPED TIGERS "Silent Eartling"

(7/10) Oh boy, those three guys gave me a hard time? No, not because their music is a desaster, not at all. I was more thinking about how relevent Three Trapped Tigers are for the readers of my blog. However, I decided to post a review and here it is....

CD review THE TREATMENT "Generation Me"

(8/10) The first time I have heard songs from The Treatment was in 2011 in Zoetermeer, Holland when the guys opened for Alice Cooper. The Treatment wasn't that well known at that point in time but I liked the energy and the sound of the band. Now, 5 years...

CD review ENSIFERUM "Two Decades of Greatest Swords Hits"

(*/10) Also this "Best of..." album will not answer the question about the 'why'. It might make sense for collectors and rookies, but each fan normally calls the regular records already their own. This time it's Ensiferum that releases a "Best of..."...

CD review HAMMER FIGHT "Profound and Profane"

(8/10) It was three years ago when I heard of Hammer Fight the first time. The four-piece from New Jersey released their "Chug of War" album which wasn't too bad. Actually it was quite good tharsh metal that was raw, with a certain kick-ass attitide....

CD review RIDEAU "Rideau"

(8/10) Maybe it's only me, but till a few days ago 'rideau' didn't mean anything more to me than being the French word for 'curtain'. Then I got an album of a band named Rideau and the level of curiosity was raising. No idea what to expect; a feeling...

CD review JESUS CRÜSLER SUPERCAR "35 Supersonic"

(7/10) Sweden's car industry had a problem over the last years. Saab isn't existing anymore and Volvo's ownership isn't 100% Swedish anymore. But there seems to be a new brand gaining momentum at the moment, Jesus Chrüsler Supercar. OK, even though the...

CD review THE ENID "Dust"

(8/10) When I got The Enid's new album on my desk I was thinking for a second if this is really something to review for my blog. It's not really heavy stuff and it's not metal either. On the other hand it's damn good music that is worth to check-out....

CD review SOTO "Divak"

(8/10) Jeff Scott Soto is one of the best hardrock and metal singer. No doubt. The guy from New York can look back on great cooperations he did with guitar wizards such as Yngwie Malmsteen, Axel Rudi Pell and Brian May. But also his contribution to the...
