CD review DEVILDRIVER "Trust No One"

(7/10) "Trust No One" is another wild ride on a modern thrash rollercoaster. You step into the cart, knowing that you're facing a wild experience to come. The first leg on "Trust No One" is called "Testimony of Truth" and it's like the cart being pulled...

CD review PARADOX "Pangea"

CD review PARADOX "Pangea"

(9/10) Paradox isn't one of these bands that have all the luck on their side. There aren't a lot of bands that went through tougher times than the guys from Germany. A view on the long list of musicians that have been part of the band shows all the ups...

CD review OMEN " Hammer Damage"

(5/10) A few days ago the news about a new Omen album made my day. In the meantime I have received the longplayer and I must say that Omen gave me a real curveball. In the meantime I have listened to the album several times and it's still hard to write...

CD review GAMMA RAY "Insanity and Genius" (Anniversary Edition)

(9/10) New cover, many extras and also a full remastering, done by Eike Freese, that's "Insanity and Genius" from Gamma Ray in the anniversary edition. I guess that the most of you are familiar with the album. However, here comes a short view back in...

CD review GAMMA RAY "Lust For Live" (Anniversary Edition)

(8/10) As a part of the 25-years party Gamma Ray re-releases their albums as an anniversary edition. The start of this series was already done a few months ago, followed now by the second wave. One of the real highlights in this cycle is "Lust For Live"....

Live review MAGNUM/VEGA, The Waterfront, Norwich, 16.05.2016

This is the second time I've seen Magnum within a few days period. After having had the pleasure of joining their show in Zoetermeer last week it's now The Waterfront venue in Norwich UK that hosts the five-piece tonight. Actually it's the first time...

CD review HELHORSE "Helhorse"

CD review HELHORSE "Helhorse"

(8/10) In a world where it is more and more difficult to find a new name for a band I think that 'Helhorse' sounds pretty cool. The guys from Copenhagen, Denmark, started back in 2006 under the banner of Dødning, a band that merged various influences...

CD review KATATONIA "The Fall of Hearts"

CD review KATATONIA "The Fall of Hearts"

(10/10) "The Fall of Hearts" is one of these albums in 2016 that I was curiously waiting for. Not only that the band is releasing one good record after the other, they are also constantly improving their sound. What is really smart is the fact that development...

CD review DEVINE ELECTRIC "Devine Electric"

(6/10) Australia, homebase of bands like AC/DC, Rose Tattoo and Airbourne. But the fifth continent has more to offer. Devine Electric is one of these bands, coming from Down Under that play hardrock too, without being known very well outside of Australia....

CD review ASSASSIN "Combat Cathedral"

(8/10) In one of my latest reviews, I think it was in the one about the new Protector album, I mentioned a revival of German thrash metal. At least the second wave of German thrash band from the 80's gain momentum by releasing new albums. During the last...
