Blutengel – Complete (Out of Line)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    14 november 2016

Blutengel is always in some kind of evolution, yet they keep their strength and keep on being very interesting. Their sound is richer and opens the eyes of the non-believers! Their new single is yet again a blast!And yes there will be more in 2017 as the new album has also been announced!

Kolmteist - Mustad Linnud

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    13 november 2016

I run into these Estonian folks via a friend of my wife, whose brother plays in this band and I must say: they absolutely surprised me! See them as a mix of Metsatöll (singing in Estonian, pagan metal-minded) and Sepultura (yup if you listen good even some Belgian Asociality).

Sirenia – Dim Days of Dolor (Napalm Records)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    11 november 2016

Sirenia was formed by Morten Veland in january 2001. Morten’s musical work was already well known through his work with his former band Tristania, a band he co-founded back in the mid-nineties. Being the main songwriter for this band he was a part of defining the gothic metal sound from a v...

Testament - Brotherhood Of The Snake (Nuclear Blast)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    13 november 2016

For over three decades, the Bay Area quintet - ChuckBilly (vocals), EricPeterson (guitars), AlexSkolnick (guitars), SteveDiGiorgio (bass), and GeneHoglan (drums) - has consistently delivered unadulterated, unbridled, and unbreakable metal in its purest form without compromise or any signs of...

Hell:Sector - The Violent Breed (Battlefront Audio)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    12 november 2016

I have been following this band for a while and they have never disappointed me. If you don’t know them yet: they play harsh electronics, detuned guitars and aggression to the industrial frontline.

Dubhfest: Here Be Flames, Whispering Sons, Der Klinke, Near Earth Orbit, Doganov, Freakangel & Merciful Nuns, JOC De Kouter, Poperinge, 5/11/2016: a dark trip in a heavenly way!

English:Concerten
  Van Muylem    7 november 2016

It’s my first time at this great festival. I must admit driving from Brussels to Poperinge without booking a hotel close by is a bad idea (it’s 130 km from my home). Over the past years I noticed great bands on the bill, but as I have 2 kids now (2 years and 8 years) it wasn’t e...

Diabulus In Musica – Dirge For The Archons (Napalm Records)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    11 november 2016

Diabulus In Musica is a great Spanish band who mixes symphonic metal, a heavenly choir/lead vocal with raw and brutal vocals in the best creative way. Since I listened to their previous album Argia I call myself a fan and now they emerge (after 2 years) with a brand new album that is bigger, bett...

Covenant – The Blinding Dark (Dependent)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    5 november 2016

I saw Covenant for the first time on stage in the 90’s and loved their sound. Back then they already had some hits and collected over the years more and more great hits like:  Stalker, Dead Stars, Call the Ships to Port, Figurehead, We Stand Alone …

Bleak – Dig two Graves (Screamlite Records)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    8 november 2016

It’s the first Bleak album I review (and basically their second one, first one went out in 2011 “..for the Good of the Nation” and was very well received), in the past I had the chance to listen to some of their tracks and I know that Anton also joined - for a while - the live c...

Huldre – Tusmørke

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    31 oktober 2016

I saw Huldre years ago during the fantastic Trolls et Légendes festival in Mons, Nanna Barslev also played over there with her 2 other bands (Asynje & GNY) and has stolen our heart. I was impatient to get their new pearl and listening to it feels like opening a treasure chest!
