Guido Campiglio is a guitar player who has chosen to release this instrumental album. Although focussed around his guitar work there are also electonic arrangements included. Some of the ”song” titles are totally meaningless to anyone other than the artist – ”C.D.T. Symphony” and ”Butterfly suite Op. No 1” for instance, whereas others do at…
Sista klubbspelningen någonsin. Ett Slutsålt The Tivoli i Helsingborg. The Ark är inne på sista svängen på sin avskedsturné. Sorgen och ilskan stramar emot över vetskapen om att ett avslut är nära. Att bokens sista kapitel är skrivet. Hoppet om en framtid med The Ark på scenen och en ny Ark-skiva känns grusade… Så fort…

The first things I noticed at Bloodstock this year was the minor changes from previous years. The basic setup was the same, but lots of little details had been improved – better fencing around VIP camping, food available in the VIP area, improved access routes and so on. Lots of little changes that over the…
När Machine Head släppte ”The Blackening” 2007, så gick den varm i min spelare. Det kändes som en av de mest kompletta metall-skivorna i modern tid. Många är artisterna och banden som släpper plattor tätt, Machine Head låter arbetet ta tid, när man lyssnar på deras nya skiva förstår man varför. Efter att ha lyssnat…
There are some new bands that stand out. Every year I get a lot of music for review, and I tend to think I´ve heard it all before. But every now and then a new band proves me wrong. THE ANDROID MEME hails from Toronto and are not prone to standard solutions. The bow to…
När Nomads drar sitt första riff är det glest i lokalen men det fylls snabbt på med gamla rockrävar som sett dem förr och gillar vad de ser. Nomads har blivit lite segare med åren och låtarna från den kommande plattan, med arbetsnamnet Solna, var inte fullt lika ösiga som man är van vid när…
The Dirty Youth are a young rock band from South Wales. Depsite the fact that they are yet to release their debut album they have already had a video played on Scuzz and appeared at both the Download and Bloodstock festvals. ”Fight” is the title track and is a storming anthem that I’m sure will…
White Wizzard are a band who have suffered from too many lineup changes, and this album shows no sign of changing things. Former vocalist Wyatt Anderson rejoined the band and recorded the vocals on ”Flying Tigers” but since recording the album he’s already been replaced. Musically if you havent listened to White Wizzard before, they’re…
Tonight’s show at the IndigO2 was Dr Jimmy Cliff – a Reggae legend, familiar to reggae lovers and to fans of movies including ”Cool Runnings” which featured him singing ”wild world” and ”I can see clearly now”. There was no support act but instead we had a DJ till shortly before the main event. The…
Hell is a band with a long history – or to be more accurate a band with two short histories. The band was formed in the early 80’s and actually signed to Mausoleum records shortly before it collapsed. The band split and was then reformed in 2008. Since reforming they have signed with Nuclear Blast…
