The time has come to kick out the jams - this time with the help of Italy's THE SADE. If one looks at the line-up of THE SADE, then the musical preferences are no real surprise because this power trio was founded by OJM guitarist Andrew Pozzy and that band has worked together with MC5 bassplayer Michael Davis (R...
Dear reader, did I ever actually tell you that I give a flying crap about techno and all its sub-genres? If not, then the time has come now to do this, because the documentary 'Last Hippie Standing' takes a close look at the hippie movement and its link with goa/trance music. I am highly critical of the whole hippie culture of the late 1960's/early 1970's, because it has been totally unworldly even if there was a little positive impetus on pop culture...
GORSE's first release 'Slumber Of Artemis' (review here) was definitely a promising debut and it's good to know that this English wrecking crew didn't broke up. But it gets even better, because with 'Old Certainties' (released by Waitstock Productions in November 2011) GORSE have dramatically increased...
ANGEL WITCH aren't my favorite NWOBHM band (those are Witchfinder General, Holocaust, Blitzkrieg, and Diamond Head in particular), but nevertheless I like their self-titled debut record that has been released in 1980.

The last Austrian band I've reviewed was Been Obscene and I didn't like them. The progressive rock/metal band METRUM is also from Austria and (you already guess what comes now...
To say it in advance: Bilbao's HORN OF THE RHINO deliver a sound that is at least as huge as the demonic cock on the cover. Released in 2012 thru Doomentia Records, 'Grengus' is a solid mix of death metal and sludge...
It gave me great pleasure when I found this 7" in my post box, because I'm a big fan of WHOOPING CRANE. I guess you're now wondering why I don't have mentioned the name STRANGE HAZE...
'Harmonicraft' is the third full-length album from Florida’s TORCHE, the follow-up to the 2008 album 'Meanderthal' and the mini-album 'Songs For Singles'. For all those who are familiar with these two releases: 'Harmonicraft' is the strict continuation of leaving behind the raw, slowly creeping sludgyness of their first releases, represented by the famous bomb-string approach, and instead steering full steam ahead into the waters of more fast-paced, melodious heavy rock...
