Last year, when I received this DVD from Rainman Records, Dickie Peterson was alive and nobody reckons with his dead. In October 2009, he suddenly and unexpectedly died in his residence in Erkelenz, Germany, and a lot of fans and musicians were shocked by this sad news. So ...
Since 1993, Italy's BULLFROG totally dedicate themselves to the culture of 1970's hardrock. They started as a cover band, playing songs from bands like Bad Company, Free, Mountain or Grand Funk Railroad until they realized it was more fun to play self composed songs. It seems logical that their ...
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. Sometimes I ...
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 ...
Suisound/C.T.S. Productions, a new small label headquartered in Athens, Greece, brings us the debut of a new Greek instrumental band that is named BROTHERHOOD OF SLEEP. The first thing that strikes one about this album is the tastefully decorated cover artwork, a custom textured digipack with gold etching and additional booklet. ...
BLOOD ISLAND RAIDERS/AMONG THE MISSING (Blessed Are The Dead) Split CD
Originally released in 2005 as a limited 12" on Withered Hand Records, this is an enhanced CD re-release from the same label. Even if you own a copy of the 12" it could be interesting to buy this CD because it contains seven exclusive live tracks in addition to the original ...
This is the self-released debut album from a young Canadian band, and it has definitely some very good moments, especially when BROKEN OHMS try to find their own musical identity that lie somewhere between early Soundgarden and early QotSA. Well, that maybe that doesn't sound very exciting, but BROKEN OHMS have ...
Here we have the second album form Portland's aggro-wreckers BLACK ELK that has been released by Crucial Blast in 2008. I never had the chance to listen to their debut album, but 'Always A Six, Never A Nine' confronts the listener with a load of heavy dissonant riffage, delivered with the ...
It's been two years ago, when I wrote a review about the debut release from the Swedish band BLOWBACK. This was a split album with Asteroid, but I wasn't filled with enthusiasm about their songs. The performance was good and solid, but I missed an own identity or something to remember ...
This unearthing of a lesser known Hellhound Records band proves once more that Hellhound were the most important Doom Metal label in the 1990‘s. Originally released in 1995 the BLOOD FARMERS injected a massive dose of early 70‘s heavy rock into their brute vision of Black Sabbath-styled Doom Metal and created ...
