Last band confirmed for the Metal Female Voices Fest in Wieze (Belgium): ANCIENT MYTH from Japan. Once again it's a bdn whom I have never seen, so it's pretty clear that the festival wants to show us a lot of special and fresh bands of bands that have never played in Belgium (and yes: eve...

  Van Muylem    30 maart 2016

Since the recent reboot of Purple Moon Productions and The Invitation we can say that the black scene has been enriched by experienced organisations. They hope the good vibe comes back and would love to see the scene florish again! Check out the calender and see for yourself:

White Miles – The Duel (Long Branch Records/SPV)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    27 maart 2016

I saw them as warming up band for John Garcia in Ghent, it was hot and they played like on fire so I absolutely wanted to review their next album! Well, here it is!

Rammsier - Blackflowers EP

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    23 maart 2016

Rammsier is a project by Ben Rammsier, to create music: altering mind and soul, and if needed, reality. Marilyn is the voice of this project and often reminds me of the title track from Twin Peaks. The music is pretty soft with a lovely and very gentle touch of dark wave.

Crematory – Monument (Steamhammer/SPV)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    17 maart 2016

I adored Antiserum, but the twelve tracks on Monument are more based on brute guitar riffs and hard-as-nails drum grooves, dark keyboard hooks and a perfect mix of growls and clear vocals (with a new singer): some in English, some in German!

Rhenium – Rise Above The Sea

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    16 maart 2016

Apparently some artists noticed that I make a lot of promotion for the Metal Female Voices Fest in Wieze, just as I review and interview as much bands as possible (who will play in October). One of the bands who also asked to figure on this festival is Rhenium and also contacted me (if I would re...

The 69 Eyes – Universal Monsters (Nuclear Blast Records)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    14 maart 2016

Your man already reviewed a lot of CD’s, interviewed the band and was looking forward to get some new stuff, well: here it is and for some it will be something fresh and catchy!

Freedumb – Feeding the Tapeworm (Tonehjulet Kräftpest)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    13 maart 2016

Freedumb has its origins in Østfold (Norway) and deliver intense punkrock / hardcore. Feeding the tapeworm is a bundle of stories about the destructive dark sides of humans, with lyrics dealing with intoxication, regret, blackout, suicidal thoughts and distance infatuation. Musically the b...

Skinsitive – Somebodies

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    26 februari 2016

Skinsitive is a French female fronted rock/metal band with influences From PJ Harvey and Nine Inch Nails. The lyrics jump from English to French (can’t hide the French tongue, honestly). Drama and melancholia are good fuel for this rocker!
