English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    6 augustus 2017

Since our last interview I was getting impatient to get the new album. Today I finally got it (even a bit before it will reach the world, so I can be proud of this early bird) and I can only say that I’m delighted! The great thing is that she keeps on innovating and found two soulmates who ...

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    31 juli 2017

This one has a funny story: I asked my boss for the new Arch Enemy and got instead Art of Anarchy. I listened to it and got pretty fast hooked to their sound, unveiling a new band! Sometimes mistakes are good, right?

  Van Muylem    31 juli 2017

Sometimes a simple shout out is enough to get a new great EP from a band. In this case I was listening to Auto-Auto and got this one as follow-up by Gordon Schumway. Retro sound and lots of fun time as it was the whole afternoon on repeat before starting to actually review it and yes: I didn&rsqu...

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    14 juli 2017

Ye Banished Privateers describes themselves as a band, a crew an’ a soup kitchen playing sea shanties, bastardized Irish folk an' 17th century punk. And oh, yes: they are from Sweden. I have never heard of them before, but like Alestorm, so this one could be my cup of tea too, let&rsquo...

Blind Guardian is one of those bands figuring on my wish list of must see on stage.
