Scott Stearns is definitely one of my favourite cover artists of this decade. His nasty, apokalyptic drawings can be found on releases from bands as, for example, Rue, Nunslaughter or Rammer and are perfectly suitable for brutal and heavy music...
I wouldn't have thought that UK's Hardcore Punk veterans BROKEN BONES are capable of recording such a strong album as their new one 'Fuck You And All You Stand For!', released in 2010 on their own record label Dem Bones Records. Founded in early 1983 by former Discharge guitarist Tony 'Bones' Roberts, BROKEN BONES achieved a good reputation very soon...
Hailing from Italy, Barbara Rubin is a classical trained musician and composer with a great predilection for rock. 'Under The Ice' is her debut in 2010 where she is complemented by a couple of guest musicians...
There's a new instrumental heavy rock band in Germany named BUDDHA SENTENZA, and 'Mode 0909' is their first self-released album.

Lorenzo Woodrose's musical output is quite impressive and best of all, it's always consistently good quality. His talent as musician and songwriter is noteworthy, and so it's no surprise that he's involved in several bands/projects such as Dragontears, Pandemonica, On Trial and, of course, BABY WOODROSE...
With their first 7" BLACK PYRAMID gave us a foretaste of their personal musicial vision that wasn't entirely new, but utterly convincing. The heavy riffs evoke the presence of Black Sabbath and Sleep as well as a few bands from the Maryland/DC area, such as Internal Void or Earthride, whilst the vocals are reminiscent of Sleep's Al Cisneros...
