Prong – X-No Absolutes (Steamhammer/SPV)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    8 januari 2016

I absolutely loved Ruining Lives(2014) And at Snoozecontrol.be their next album was very much appreciated by Tom Kielemoes (the cover album The Black Hole), time to check if Tommy Victor and his mates still steal my heart with every released track!

Amaranthe – Breaking point B-sides 2011/2015 (Spinefarm/Universal)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    2 januari 2016

Over the years Amaranthe gathered a lot of B-Sides and added bonus tracks to certain regions, making it hard for some to get them and now they decided to release them all in one. Yes, finally the time has come to discover the rarities and prove to some that they have a lot of potential!

Ewert and The Two Dragons – Circles (Sire Records)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    1 januari 2016

Their previous record was released with the help of the I Love You Records and now they signed Sire Records A Warner Music Group Company! Isn’t that a gigantic step for an Estonian band? Do I have to remind you that Estonia has only a population of 1.3 million people?

Analfabetism – Av Hjord Är Du Kommen (Malignant Records)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    21 december 2015

It has been a while since I reviewed something that can be described as a mix between industrial and dark neofolk (genre No Festival of Light or even In Slaughter Natives). Sweden has always had that special touch with dark industrial and hellish soundscapes. Fredrik Djurfeldt (Severe Illusion) h...

English:Concerten
  Van Muylem    14 december 2015

It doesn’t happen much that I can go by foot to a concert and tonight it’s the try-out for the new Flesh & Fell tour. Not much people were aware of this and most of us got it directly from the band or from other followers of the band. Same goes for me and I live in Jette … ...

Draconian – Sovran (Napalm Records)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    11 december 2015

I saw Draconian at the last edition of the Metal Female Voices fest in Wieze (Belgium), Heike Langhans proved that she was worth her place as new female vocalist. She brought new and old songs as if she wrote and composed them herself! She’s a real nightingale and now is the time to unveil ...
