Kyuss, Slo-Burn, Unida, Hermano, Vista Chino – yes, desert crooner John Garcia may rightfully be considered the ultimate incarnation of stoner rock. His first solo album from 2014 is still fresh in my mind, just like his gig in Ghent (in an overheated concert room) ...
Arkona is a fine female fronted Russian pagan/folk metal band. I have seen them twice on stage and it felt like a whirlwind passing by with the powerful vocals of Masha and her incredible stage act. With their ‘new’ album they return to their debut and inject it with new blood and new...

Elusion is one of the newest bands that you have to discover: expect cool melodic symphonic and female fronted metal from Belgium. This first EP has only 3 songs; but the word only says it all: can’t wait for more!
I must say that sometimes we get nice stuff from bands that approach us, this time it comes from the US, Minnesota! We hear some Symphonic Female fronted Metal that sounds like a mix between Nightwish and Within Temptation. With an emphasis on storytelling, AfterTime incorporates cinematic orches...
