Lovelorn Dolls – Lament EP (Alfa Matrix)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    11 juni 2017

Kristell has been working recently on her solo project, but somehow felt the urge to return to her band: in full force! Brussels-based act Lovelorn Dolls rise from their ashes again like a phoenix and offer us a first and pretty noir appetizer to their forthcoming third album… Lament is pr...

Alestorm – No Grave But The Sea (Napalm Records)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    7 juni 2017

I always loved this Scottish band as it was always fun and with No Grave But The Sea (their 5th album) we get a brand new best off filled with great pirate folk metal tracks! Oh, ho: not really a best off, but that’s how I feel it!

Mildreda – Cowards EP(alfa matrix)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    1 juni 2017

I know this one since the 90’s. I was even the first one to get an interview with Jan Dewulf, back then a young & angry man with long and beautiful blond hair. Today most people know him from his remixes and from his other band Diskonnekted. Today he’s back with his first love: ha...

An Pierlé – Cluster (Consouling)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    27 mei 2017

An Pierlé launches a new album and worked on the path she started with Arches (working it out with a modern organ as lead instrument throughout the whole album). I saw her this week on stage in the Church of Laken and totally enjoyed the sound and the performance, time for a review and thu...

Altered Sky – Without Wonderland

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    23 mei 2017

I noticed this band thanks to Facebook, whilst making promotion for their new album and got caught in their sound. I must say I was a fan from the early years on of Avril Lavigne and somehow this band reminded me of her, so I couldn’t resist to it and asked If I could review their brand new...

Chemical Sweet Kid – Addicted to Addiction (Dark Tunes)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    23 mei 2017

Chemical Sweet Kid is a French band that started up in 2008 and describe themselves as: If Christian Death and Marilyn Manson had an electro project together, it would probably sounds like Chemical Sweet Kid. Well, I hear some other influences in it and despite the fact that many bands want to so...

Seven Kingdoms – Decennium (Napalm Records)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    17 mei 2017

Seven Kingsdoms was formed in Deland, FL in 2007. The band began to play shows, went through all the usual "underground band" ups-and-down; members came and went; numerous local shows; an independently released debut album; etc. Finally, once they had a more solidified lineup, the band ...

Kobra and the Lotus – Prevail I (Napalm Records)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    13 mei 2017

I heard so many good things about this female fronted Canadian metal band that I’m so happy that I can finally write my first review about them!

Gene Loves Jezebel – Heavenly Bodies (Westworld)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    11 mei 2017

I know this band vaguely and noticed they are touring with The Mission. After listening to some tracks I got hooked and must say that both bands blend in well. I’m not saying they both play Alternative gothic rock, but I feel the same emotional touch in their music, brought to us with passion.
