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...

It’s 2017 and The Breath of Life are back to proudly announce the long awaited album Under the falling stars. With this 9th release, the band takes the listener back into their own specific realm of emotions. Mixed, produced & mastered by Gilles Martin (Tuxedomoon, Malaria, Wire, Minima...

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.

Liv Sin – Follow Me (Despotz Record)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    7 mei 2017

Despite great success, the band Sister Sin parted ways in late 2015 after a 13 year career. Now the former singer and major force, Liv Sin, from the former band, rises from the ashes with a new band and a whole new album co-produced by longtime ACCEPT and U.D.O. member Stefan Kaufmann and U.D.O. ...

Apocalypse Orchestra – The end is Nigh (Despotz Records)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    10 mei 2017

I’m honest in this: I have never heard of this doom/folk/medieval metal band from Sweden and ran a bit by accident into their music. I noticed bagpipes and that was already enough to give it a try. You can read the rest underneath:
