Review: Doodswens – Lichtvrees

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 

Review: Russian Circles – Blood Year

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 

I love the latest The Ocean song

I love the latest The Ocean song

Did you check out “Devonian: Nascent”, the latest song off the upcoming The Ocean album “Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic”. Even though the song, which has Kataonia-head Jonas on guest vocals, clocks in at eleven minutes, it never lets down in intensity. The Ocean evolve their sound (as much

Make distros a threat again

Ultha inked a deal with Century Media not long ago. The first result of this deal will be the release of “The Inextricable Wandering” in October. The band released a 14ish minutes long first impression of the new material, which totally blew me away. “The

which can’t compete with the one and only version out there.  Well, to be exact: the australian metalcore heavyweights just showed off their new album with one song, but while “Feels Like I’m Dying” does convince with its visuals, both music and lyrics left me 

Being As An Ocean release stunning new video for “Alone”

Being As An Ocean release stunning new video for “Alone”

When speaking of bands who evolve and change their sound during their career, the name Being As An Ocean has to come to mind. The band with the christian message showed on their latest release “Waiting For The Morning To Come” – which they released

BOSSE-DE-NAGE post first track of “Further Still”

I’ve never paid much attention to Bosse-De-Nage, even though the guys have been around for more than a decade by now. But their first track of their upcoming album “Further Still” caught my attention. It’s a solid, mid-tempo track with whirling guitar work and an

Empowerment deliver an important statement with their new video

We live in troubled times. We live in fucked-up times. I wonder how history will look back – and judge – on the early 21st century, but it can’t be with positive thoughts. We, the wealthy states of the northern hemisphere, don’t give a fuck
