”The landing” is the seventh album from German heavy metal/power metal band Iron Savior (a name that really irritates me with its American spelling for Saviour). The band was formed in 1996 by Piet Sielck, Kai Hansen (Helloween & Gamma Ray) and Thomen Stauch (Blind Guardian), with Piet Sielck now the only remaining founding member….
Tre låtar in är man halvt medvetslös av överdosering av ursinnig mangel! Svenska dödsmetal-legenderna Arch Enemy med den tyska fanbäraren Angela Gossow i toppform, marcherar in på scenen och attackerar oss med bomber och granater från första ton. Mejeriet i Lund kokar och är nära på att explodera vid flera tillfällen. Känslan inne på Mejeriet…

Lion/Warner This band or project includes the vocal talents of Göran Edman (ex. YNGWIE MALMSTEEN), Mark Boals (ex. YNGWIE MALMSTEEN), and Carsten Lizard” Schoulz (EVIDENCE ONE).

Feedback Records/Doolittle Group/Sound Pollution DANNY NEUBECKER started his career in his teens, but has settled for pop/rock with catchy hooks. He is still in an early stage but seems dedicated to his music, and very focused on social medias marketing. Is the music as digital as his other plans? The tra-la-la factor of this kind…

An unknown at the time, Elias has had a lot of success with his main band, but a a solo artist he allegedly attracted the interest of the legendary STEVE VAI and chartered in the top ten…
Grá har gjort den perfekta skivan! I alla fall om man får tro Andreas ”Heljarmadr” Vingbäck, sång och gitarr, som bildade bandet tillsammans med Dimman Ljungi, trummor, för drygt ett år sedan. Idag, 2011-11-11 släpps första och självbetitlade fullängdaren och i samband med den en video. – Två av våra statister höll på att stryka…

För de som inte känner till Mahal så är han en legend inom bluesen. Mahal har haft ett stort inflytande när det…
”How to get your love” is the second single from the debut album from Red Sky July. The band are a new name to me, but when you look at the members you’ll see that there is a lot of talent and experience here – you have husband and wife team Shelly Poole (Alisha’s attic)…
Embodied tar steget ut I världen. Det är med stor nyfikenhet som jag sätter I Jönköpingsbandet Embodieds debut cd I spelaren! Jag har följt bandet under några år och sett utvecklingen, och jag kan direkt konstatera att debuten inte är något hastverk. Embodied killarna har verkligen gjort ett genomarbetat album, man presenterar 10 låtar och…
