Those who believe that rock 'n' roll is dead should listen to SPIDERS immediately. Their first full-length 'Flash Point' (review here) is one of the strongest counter-arguments one can find in current times...
If you know a little about Maryland's heavy bands, you may also be aware that Ron Kalimon is one of the veterans of that legendary scene. Since the late 1970's, he has made history with bands such as ASYLUM, UNORTHODOX and Internal Void, to name just a few...
Up until now, MIGHTY HIGH is a well-kept rock 'n' roll secret from Brooklyn, New York, but it seems that this will hopefully change with the aid of the new record 'Legalize Tre Bags' (review here). There is nothing new about it, but it's so well done that it's worth looking for, even if it's only for the explosive high energy riffage...
I have found a new highly-effective medicine against boredom and grief, which bears the name BLUES PILLS. Without the fear of overstatement, I can say that their 10" EP 'Bliss' (review here) is a magnificient debut...
Not many of the newer bands in the Doom scene did impress me a lot. But every now and then there is one band that releases one album that I really really learn to love...
Sometimes I ask myself: What would a record be without its cover artwork? What would music be without its concert posters and flyers? What would it all be without the wonderful work of some artists?

But there is no getting around the fact that the visual aspect plays a role that is not to be underestimated in the history of music whether it is punk rock, heavy metal, psychedelic rock, hard rock or rock 'n' roll to name but a few...
With their debut album 'Calling All Demons' (review here), Denmark's MOONLESS bring a fresh gust of wind, and a lot of talent and energy into the doom scene, even if their thunderous mix of doom and 1970's heavy rock is nothing entirely new. But they can write really good songs with an own individual flair, which are never lacking in variety and power...
I fail to understand how I could have overlooked San Francisco's ASSEMBLE HEAD IN SUNBURST SOUND in recent years (yes, shame on me). Fortunately the situation changed due to the last Tee Pee promo package, because it included their new and fourth studio album named 'Manzanita'...
More than two years have passed since I did my first interview with Pennsylvania's ARGUS. At this time, the band was in the final stages of recording and mixing their debut album which has been released by Shadow Kingdom Records shortly after...
Shortly before the upcoming tour of STONE AXE, Tony Dallas Reed has been kind enough to answer some of my questions. I really didn't expect that because he is always busy with his music...
