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...
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 … ...
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 ...
It’s the band's 6th album, released pretty short after their previous album Magic Forest. The sound is slightly different (lesser into musical and more into metal), they have evolved a bit. In my ears they sound much better and it looks as if they are ready to conquer the world and...
Liv Kristine is back, after her solo album last year (Vervain), presenting the 6th studio album of Leaves’ Eyes! I can tell you that she got the help of Atrocity, Simone Simons, Linda-FayHalla and so much more! It’s really worth your money!
The guy’s from Aktarum describe themselves as Troll Metal from Belgium and are clearly influenced by bands like Metsatöll, Fintroll, Korpiklaani … Expect heavy stuff, grunting, spectacular riffs and great stories about trolls! I loved their gig in Vosselaar (Biebob) as opening b...
It has been a while since I have been to Biebob. As for Arkona: I loved them already last time, Metsatöll was a must see for me (missed them due to traffic jam in Durbuy but ran into them and had a nice interview with them), Svartsot is a bit in the same line as Metsatöll and the Belgiu...
Rossetti's Compass presents us a new EP, with the help of TyLean, Martin Bowes and the team behind Sub Culture Records. All retro new wave lovers have to keep their eyes open and give it a try! I adored it (yet: once again)!
The Mexican pioneers of Hard Electro are back with a new album Ofensor. After more than two decades, the aggressive sound that Erk Aicrag and Racso Agroyam a.k.a. Hocico produce tries to hit us and knock us off with their primal force of beats, shouts, atmospheric sound sculptures, brutal cacopho...
Portuguese pioneers Moonspell first brought the dark flames to their native country – and then set the rest of the world aflame with milestones such as Irreligious or Night Eternal. Their eleventh studio album Extinct lets Fernando Ribeiro`s dark vocals collide with modern riffing, blackene...
