Voodoo Highway/Rock´n´Growl VOODOO HIGHYAY may bring to mind bands like VOODOO X or even BADLANDS, but it is really DEEP PURPLE you should think of. These five gents from Italy have been around since 2010, by recording their first EP “This Is Rock´n´Roll, Cocks”. This effort generated some attention, not least from Craig Gruber of…
As you may know from the previous editions, the fest takes place in a soccer field and this third edition was no different, the organization brought some improvements such as a new roof above the seats in the right side of the field. since that in the previous editions dust was a real problem, they…

”Melody and Malice” is the fourth (and final) compilation album released by the UK’s Femme Metal Records. As with previous releases the album is aimed at making money for charity – the charity being helped here is the NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children), so its a great cuase, but the…
Darknote spelar underfundig och melodiös döds inför en mycket sparsam publik på The Rock den här lördagskvällen. Det är lite synd eftersom isländska band inte gästar oss så ofta men de som tagit sig till klubben bjuds på tekniskt sväng, suggestiva trummor och lekfulla gitarrer som låter improviserade men är väldigt inrepeterade och välskrivna. Darknote…

Back in the day they released a few demos and singles, and toured with the likes of OUTRAGE and SABBATH before calling it a day in 1988. Their creative break actually lasted till about now. Four guys and one girl, can´t…
Hand (or as they prefer to spell it, hAND) bill themselves as a ”3-piece Progressive Alternative/Gothic Metal band”. I’d describe them as a 3 piece prog band. There’s definitely little here to describe as metal. I have to admit I’ve seen hAND play live a few times and I’ve never been impressed – as a…
Since the last and first edition was a great success, the Fade in organization and the City Council of Leiria decided to continue the fest this year in the same spot: The Castle of Leiria; let me tell you a little bit about this magnificent piece of architecture: this medieval Castle was built by the…
