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!

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).

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!

Hell yeah!!! A new album from the Unguided is always a party and always something special, just as the great artwork for the album! Lust and Loathing sounds like the perfect title for this one! But it’s also time to think about sad stuff that happens and changes one’s life in the blin...
