Review: Doodswens – Lichtvrees

I don’t like one-man-projects. Most lack depth and skill, both in songwriting (which often times profits from a collaborative effort) and execution. So I don’t bother to check out new projects created by single mind. Two-person-bands are a different matter, though. Mighty Mantar proves that

Parkway Drive offer a first glimpse of “Darker Still”

Back in the days, I totally loved Parkway Drive – I’ve attended several show of their first european tours, and watched them in small to mid-size venues, and was rocking out to their excellent live show at festivals. But as time went on, I lost

Ready for twelve minutes of pure blackened Speed Metal?

Marburg-based metalheads Knife released a three-track-EP via Dying Victims Productions. It features twelve minutes of raw, blackened speed metal, nailed down in one new tracks of cover songs of both Bathory and Venom. It comes in tape format, which I’m not a big fan of,

Review: Mass Worship – Mass Worship

If you’re hailing from Sweden and earned a name as a musician in the heavy guitar-kind of scene, it may feel odd to never have played in a HM-2-band. Dunno if that theory holds true, but Mass Worship may prove it. The dudes around Claes

Review: Sect – Blood of the Beast

Music-wise, my personal journey, socialisation, and (ongoing) transformation began with Swedish Death Metal. Thus, the Boss HM-2 played a critical role. And even though I discovered new genres and new favourites in the last twenty years, I’ll always love the buzzing sound of HM-2 (and

Review: Russian Circles – Blood Year

I kinda liked “Guidance” und “Memorial”, the last two albums by Postrock heavyweights Russian Circles, but never loved them as much as “Empros” (which has been written eight years ago… time flies, folks) and their earlier works. The albums didn’t click with me, even though
