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 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...
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...
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.
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 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...
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 …
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...
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!
Peter Slabbynck (EX-RZ) surprises us again, this time with the nice duet and cover version of a culthit (17 seconds from The Cure)! He sings together with Fenne Kuppens (Whispering Sons: they won Humo's Rock Rally)! Ages ago Peter reached with his former band Red Zebra the same finals, didn&#...
