(8/10) It was May 13th 2012 when Trondr Nefas, singer and guitars of Urgehal, sadly passed away; something that was the end of Urgehal too. However, the Norwegians decided to pay respect to the creations of Nefas and completed the recording of the final...

(8/10) Inglorious' music is deeply connected to70's rock, a time when bands like Deep Purple, Whitesnake and Aerosmith had their first peak. Nathan James, singer of Inglorious, obviously takes a lot of inspiration from this period and that's one reason...

(8/10) It's hard to describe The New Black's sound. The guys describe themselfs as a mixture of the Black Label Society with some Nickelback and Pantera embedded. I think it describes the new album pretty well. "A Monster's Life" is the bands fourth album...

(8/10) Gothenburg's Bombus positively surprised me with their uncompromissing last album called "The Poets and the Parrot". It was this creative ignorance of styles that was impressive. Bombus was and isn't made for stereotype thinking. Those guys merge...

(9/10) It's always a big moment when Canadian sci-fi trashers of Voivod come out with new songs. Three years after having published the last full length studio album "Target Earth" the quartet is back with a new EP called "Post Society". The disc contains...

(8/10) OK, Factory Brains might not that very well known till this day, but things might change. There are two points that gives me this idea. First of all they released with "Hard Labor" a pretty good new album and the guys got the chance to promote...

(8/10) The first time I came across The New Roses was three years ago. The guys released their debut "Without a Trace" and it sounded quite good. At that time the band wasn't that much known but step by step the guys get more and more attention. A lot...

That power metal legend Metal Chruch will release a new album in a few weeks isn't that new anymore. The metal community is already curiously looking forward to this album with Mike Howe on vocal duty. To promote the new longplayer Metal Church also announced...

(8/10) To introduce Magnum isn't necessary. After more than 4 decades in hardrock music the guys from England are a well know act all over the world. I still can remember when I heard "On a Storytellers Night" somewhere back in the mid eighties. It was...

(8/10) After having been very successful during the eighties, Australian actor, singer and songwriter Rick Springfield is back with good music. The last albums of the musicians from Guildford, New South Wales have been very promising and at least my expectations...
