envinya-inner_silencenow

Another lesson learned. I should pay more attention to the promo material and the music when previewing a band for review. As to the former, the press material states that Envinya, another female-fronted metal band, and their debut album Inner Silence, is traditional metal with a modern touch. I should More»

The Finnish melodic power metallers closed almost five years without their natural mastermind,Timo Tolkki, and in this time they have released three full length efforts plus a double live album. Their experiment of "Polaris" showed that there is still life after Tolkki, while their first attempt with Matias Kupiainen left the best impression among their fans. The "Elysium" gave new life and a fresh new air to the More»

The Hyper Actives are a Stockholm based band in it to restore the former glory of Rock´n´Roll. And to be able to do that they have to transform them self to 1960ies Marvel kind of comic book characters.
This could been a nonsense joke, by a bunch of lads trying to be funny, but!!! There are some sad things about the world of music today, that gives their comic book fantasy mission a legacy IRL. More»

Here’s something you don’t hear every day - a Swedish industrial metal band who have gone, well, all countrified! Yes, the three members of one of Sweden’s top industrial metal meisters, Raubtier, have dragged in a bonus member (Kenneth Seil from Scar Symmetry) and taken it back to, well, someone else’s roots under the guise of the hard drinkin’, hard fightin’ and decidedly American Bourbon Boys.

I was skeptical at first, possibly even stupefied: adding a symphonic orchestral layer to songs that weren't arranged that way in the first place. Why did Jorn agree to this and who put him up to it? It seems it was a spontaneous notion that came to life in rather quick fashion.  More»

Beauty lies in the darkness of this heartfelt metal machine. With melodic/powerful vocals, shredding guitar solos, and driving bass and drums, a new monster arises from the deep. Power metal with both classic and modern tastes!
