Alk-a-line – Species & Specimens (Cheap Satanism Records)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    26 augustus 2019

It doesn’t happen much lately (except for the upcoming album from Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio) that I get excited about a new album. This one is like: Wham! Bam! Thank you! Right into the my heart! A cool mix of old and new and a band filled with talented people! No fillers, only hits and that...

Nemesea - White Flag (Napalm Records)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    20 augustus 2019

The Dutch female fronted band, Nemesea, famous for combining rock with electronica to stir up a dark and strangely addictive brew - have fine-tuned this musical combination to perfection on their fifth album White Flag. The guitars and Sanne Mieloos outstanding vocals continue to be the driving f...

  Van Muylem    12 augustus 2019

Apoptygma Berzerk have been very active in the last years, and in 2016 we saw the instrumental album Exit Popularity Contest hit the market (reviewed it), and together with remixes for Machinista, Peter Heppner and Page, APOP have also been playing concerts and festivals every year.

30 years! That’s how long this German Gothic Rock/metal band exists! Time for a double best of, some rarities and some tracks chosen by the band, with a few new tracks too!

Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio - Ménage à Quatre (Out Of Line Music)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    28 juli 2019

Life is a dark orgy, brought on a neofolk and ritualistic feel. This is in short the description of this Swedish band! I have seen them a lot of times on stage, mostly joined by Nicolas Van Meirhaeghe and now I review their music for my first time (next to their excellent gigs, off course).

Kezdown – Escape Lane (Wool-E-Discs)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    27 juli 2019

Kezdown is Didier Czepczyk (you might know him from TheBreath of Life), Matthieu Rousselet and Gaston Hollands. The album is a dark, retro-minded with synth’s and cool guitars, simple and effective piece of art!

Kirlian Camera - HELLFIRE EP (Dependent)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    15 juni 2019

Cold Pills is going to be the next record, but as a warm up we get this excellent EP (was originally just meant as a single, but things got bigger and larger). We welcome it! And yes: the title track comes from The excellent Lucifer series and is indeed a cover.

Herrschaft – Le Festin Du Lion (SEASON OF MIST)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    13 juni 2019

They are French, rock between metal and electro and I loved their album Les 12 Vertiges. Since then they changed a bit their line-up so I’m curious about how they sound anno 2019!
