Forming the band after his unceremonious sacking from Hawkwind (following an unfortunate narcotics misunderstanding at the Canadian border) then naming them after the very last song he wrote and recorded with the space cadets, Motörhead mainman and force of nature, Ian Fraser Kilmister, or Lemmy to the world, gunned the accelerator and wheel spun his very own ‘Silver Machine’ into the fast lane of the UK singles and album chart, leaving on-lookers spitting dust from gritted snaggleteeth! Through varying line-up changes and more ups and downs than a spin on the Whacky Goldmine, Motörhead have released some of the most influential Heavy Metal Rock N’ Roll known to any sub-human, and in doing so, have been widely regarded as spawning the illegitimate genre that became known as ‘Speed Metal’...

THE VON HERTZEN BROTHERS new single and video LET THY WILL BE DONE preceding the release of ’The Best Of’ in June via Spinefarm Records

They may sound like something from a dark fairytale, but the Von Hertzen Brothers are Finland’s No. 1 rock band – three siblings (vocalist/guitarist Mikko, guitarist/vocalist Kie & bassist/vocalist Jonne) with a formidable live reputation plus the ability to produce challenging music that never smacks of being specialist or niche.

And now, with latest studio album (‘Stars Aligned’) charting No...

Young British rockers Jettblack are back with their second album – Raining Rock. Their first album ”Get your hands dirty” gained them a load of fans and established them as a band to look out for, so this second album is eagerly awaited.

I’m not going to describe all the songs on the album – I’ll leave you to wait and listen to the album yourselves to hear what they’re like, but I will make brief comments on a few of the songs.

The first single to be released from the album is the title track – Raining rock, which is an absolutely superb rock song, and coupled with a great video I’m sure it’s going to have fans really excited about the forthcoming album...

Dark Princess are a Russian Symphonic/Gothic metal band that was formed in 2005. Their debut album, ”Without you” was released in 2005 and was followed by ”Stop my heart” which was released in 2006 and was a hit with fans, particularly in Germany. Since then they have released the album ”Crying game” which was made up of Russian language versions of songs from the first two albums.

The band’s new album, ”The world I’ve lost” is the first to feature their new singer Natalia.

Before getting this album to review I hadn’t come across Dark Princess before so I was very happy when I hit play and listened to the album – it’s fantastic. It’s always a nice feeling to find a new band that makes music that you love, and that’s certainly the case here...

Pardise Lost på KB – Malmö, är ett efterlängtat återbesök sedan deras senaste vända två och ett halvt år sedan. Vad har hänt under den tiden då? Förutom att de precis släppt en ny platta – Tragic Idol, så är allt precis likadant! Förvänta man sig något mer än några nya Paradise Lost-typiska låtar så skulle man bli besviken.

Det visuella är enkelt och Nick Holmes är prydligt klädd och överlåter scenframträdandet till sina musiker som levererar.

Malmöiten Adrian Erlandsson är ett energiknippe utav dess like! Han pumpar bandet fullt med energi och röjer stenhårt bakom trummorna. Nick Holmes röst lämnar däremot mycket att önska och ibland undrar man om micken är för lågt mixad eller om han inte alls tar i...

Back to the roots by a media covered ”divorce” from former vocalist Jack Russell and the addition of the voice of XYZ. GREAT WHITE had their best sales back in 1989, with the slick and sticky “…Twice Shy album”. What many seem to forget is that they started out already in 1977, around vocalist Jack. Guitarist Mark Kendall was there already, and the pair were joined by bass player Don Costa, of OZZY OSBOURNE fame, and Tony Richards, who was later found in WASP. The band, then known as DANTE FOX, found a manager in Alan Niven, and opted for world domination with the EP “Stick It Out”. A self-titled debut followed in 1984, which won them a support slot opening for WHITESNAKE...
