I Hate/Sound Pollution I Hate kör vidare med sina återutgåvor av gammal och dammig öststatsmetall. Inte är den då glömd inte, för bandet återförenas för en spelning på Muskelrock i sommar. .. Denna recension gäller endast den tjeckiska originalvarianten, men i handeln kommer både den varianten, och den Europaanpassade engelska exportplattan att finnas på en…
Frontiers/BAM 1970 debuterade URIAH HEEP med klassikern “Very ´Eavy, Very ´Umble”. Succé och inte mindre än 30 miljoner sålda album är facit på de fyrtio åren. Men det har också funnits tider av sämre mottagna skivor, avhopp (David Byron, Ken Hensley, Lee Kerslake) och andra motgångar. Föregående skiva ”Wake the Sleeper” har jag hört blandade…

Frontiers/BAM 1984, det var startåret för KING KOBRA. Gruppen bildades av (redan då) erfarne trummisen Carmine Appice (VANILLA FUDGE, ROD STEWART, OZZY OSBOURNE), som samlade ihop ett ganska okänt gäng. Gitarristerna David Michael-Philips (senare i LIZZY BORDEN), och Mick Sveda (senare i BULLET BOYS), basisten Johnny Rod (senare i WASP) och sångaren Mark Free (senare…
Popadelica 7 maj 2011 Den lilla festivalen Popadelica hade sålt slut på sina 2000 biljetter redan innan portarna öppnades. Snart vimlade Huskvarnas Folkets Park av poppare uppblandat med diverse annat folk från framförallt Jönköpingstrakten. För även om den nu 6 år gamla festivalen försökt bredda sig lite med band som Graveyard och Royal Republic är…
Tonights show is going to be a busy night – five bands on one bill. Originally advertised as a Houston headlining tour, it was later changed to a Houston/Crashdiet co-headlining tour, but judging by the queue outside where most people seem to be wearing Crashdiet T-shirts then you could easily assume it was a Crashdiet…
Sensory Overload is the first album from Michael MOnroe’s new band. The lineup is impressive – Michael Monroe (Hanoi Rocks), Sami Yaffa (Hanoi Rocks & New York DOlls), Steve Conte (New York Dolls), Ginger (Wildhearts), and Karl Rockfirst (Danzig), but an impressive lineup doesnt always translate into great albums. Thankfully in this case though, it…
Explorer is the latest album from Welsh Singer-songwriter Cerys Matthews. Cery’s first rose to fame as the singer of rock group Catatonia, but since the bands split in 2001 she has released several albums of folk and traditional music. She is unusual in that she sings in a mixture of English and Welsh. The album…
”The Unforgiving” is the fifth studio album from Dutch Symphonic metal band, Within Temptation. For this album, Within Temptation have opted to release a concept album, so the album is accompanied by a comic book release and a series of short videos. The danger of this strategy is that while their hardcore fans will probably…
Napalm/Sound Pollution German band SERENITY plays symphonic metal, and has done so for a decade. They now release their third album, with a lot of symphony, enforced by guests like Charlotte Wessels (DELAIN), Ailyn (SIRENIA) and Amanda Somerville. This is an album about historic persons like Christopher Columbus, Casanova, and Sir Francis Drake. Is that…
