Thirteen (written as Th1rt3en on the album cover) is the latest album from Megadeth. Their previous album, Endgame was released two years ago in late 2009. Since then Dave Ellefson has rejoined the album making this the firs album for ten years to feature him alongside Dave Mustaine. The album title, Thirteen reflects the fact…
The evening started with some bad news – Arkona weren’t going to be playing. We heard later that this was due to visa problems which prevented them getting into the country. Still this disappointment aside we still had a good lineup to look forwards to – Skálmöld, Trollfest, Alestorm, Finntroll and Turisas. The plus side…
I väntan på Graveyard så pratar några killar om att de inte har någon aning om vilka Graveyard är. Visst de har hört någon låt men inte mer. Jag är lika intet vetandes om Graveyard som dessa killar. Jag hade hört talas om dem och att de skulle vara ett riktigt grymt liveband, så nu…
Förband till Graveyard är inga andra än Spiders ikväll, som följer med Graveyard på deras Skåneturné. Likt huvudbandet är också Spiders influerat av 70-tals rock blandat med sydstatsstil! Här snackar vi långt hår, massivt skägg, maracas och munspel. Nämnde jag att sångaren är en kvinna? Coolt! Spiders går ut starkt med sin energi och attityd…
Tonights opening band was Winter in Eden playing their first London show. The band are a man short as their bassist has just become a father. Their brand of symphonic metal goes down very well with the fans. Singer Vicky has an excellent voice and really puts in a great performance. For anyone who missed…
Back to the 70´s Ett fullsatt TheTivoli i kyliga Helsingborg hettar snabbt upp hela kajen så det kokar över! Det är gubbarock för hela slanten. Trots det så är det en härlig skara blandad publik i alla åldrar. Unga killar och tjejer i In Flames T-shirts och en mognare äldre publik i flanellskjortor. Hela familjen…
Interview with Nemhain singer Amber Erlandsson: Festivalphoto: How would you describe your music for anyone who hasn’t heard anything by you yet? Amber: How about an infernal racket or Blues stained punk rock doom… Festivalphoto: Your excellent debut album, From the ashes came out last year. When can fans expect to see the next album…
Escape/Sound Pollution In the mid-seventies Childhood mates Richard Lowe, vocals, keyboards, and Rob Bendelow, guitars, formed LAMMERGIER. The line-up was completed by Steve Bettney on vocals, former folk rock guitarist Barry Yates on bass, and drummer John Thorne. The band was so successful that Polygram Records took them under their wings, but line-up changes followed,…
Frontiers/BAM 1989 marked the debut of HOUSE OF LORDS. The big sounding hair band sported the vocals of James Christian, guitarist Lanny Cordola (ex. FIFTH ANGEL), keyboard wizard Gregg Giuffria (ex ANGEL, ex.GIUFFRIA), bass profile Chuck Wright (ex QUIET RIOT) and drummer Ken Mary (ex.ALICE COOPER). One thing lead to another, changes and break-ups and…
Frontiers/BAM I actuallt had my doubts about how SEBASTIAN BACH would return, and if. Former SKID ROW vocalist has seen it all, fame, fortune, decline, and now, some sort of rise again. He still knew how to handle a crowd last time around at Sweden Rock, but his output was modest, or disheartening. Now he…
Massacre/Sound Pollution Austrian Old School death metal ghouls ZOMBIE INC. debut with “A Dreadful Disease”. The band feature former PUNGENT STENCH vocalist Martin Schirenc and guitarist Wolfgang Rothbauer of DISBELIEF et al. fame. The rest of the band is guitarist Gerald Huber (COLLAPSE 7), bass player Daniel Lechner (ex. LACRIMAS PROFUNDERE) and drummer Tomasz “Nefastus”…
Napalm/Sound Pollution VAN CANTO, the vocal mainstay of later years return with their fourth album in five years. No doubt boosted by their chart entries and attention from penalty shot covers of carefully selected top hits they steer clear of most instrumental parts, except Basti´s drums. This time around they opt for an eyebrow-raising cover…
