Christer og resten av gjengen i DIVIDED MULTITUDE har nettopp vært en tur over dammen og spilt konserter på verdens største metalcruise. Ombord på MS Liberty of the Seas fikk bandet oppleve en masse konserter, Jamaica, Karibien og selv spilte de to ganger på turen. På forespørsel har Christer sendt oss en liten notis om hvordan turen var og hva som videre står på programmet for DIVIDED MULTITUDE.
A German sextet performing in a style very familiar to those who love melodic metal release a 14 song album with "Love, Hate, Lies". I’d say their sound has a lot of 80’s characteristics – powerful riffing, strong metal grooves, and keyboards adding airy ambiance to the proceedings. Those who remember the early "Colour Temple"…
Finland’s Archgoat have always been a band who followed their own darkened path and their sound has therefore developed into one that is extremely developed and individualistic. Its roots lie in bestial death/black metal of the primitive school, but often played at doomy lower speeds. The overall effect is hypnotic and ritualistic, creating a heady…
‘Stranger’ is the second full-length from California four-piece Cretin. It featured on quite a few ‘Best of 2014′ lists, especially among the grind cohort. Having said that, the Cretin sound also contains a heavy dose of Death Metal, with Marissa’s vocals sometimes reminding me of early Chuck Schuldiner and the breakdown beats recall Autopsy at…
Up next is the re-release of the debut album from Colombian kings of Black Metal Inquisition. There is no difference to tracklisting or mastering and no bonus tracks but the cover has been considerably upgraded and the theme and artwork is planned to be continued on future re-releases this year. Inquisition are one of few…
Eternal Terror kan i dag by på en helt ny låt fra den kommende EP-en til MONOLITH DEATHCULT. Låta heter "Reign of Hell" og den blir å finne på "Bloodkults", som slippes av Season of Mist 23. mars.
Den siste headlineren er nå på plass hos TONS OF ROCK og IN FLAMES fans kan glede seg til juni.
Eternal Terror kan i dag by på en helt ny låt fra den fantastiske kommende skiva til DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT. Låta heter "Requiem" og den blir å finne på "Stellar", som slippes av Season of Mist 23. mars.
This Danish quartet play a musical cocktail of symphonic rock with metal and hard rock textures on this self-titled album. Nothing overly adventurous, but definitely rooted in the 1970’s/ 80’s scene – aspects of Deep Purple, Royal Hunt, Saga, and Styx come up most when taking in songs such as "Under the Sun" and the…
The fourth studio album for UK melodic death/thrash act Sylosis comes with a new drummer in Ali Richardson, and a lot of American attack nuances to keep the younger generation very happy. Josh Middleton’s caustic, Robb Flynn like roar cuts like a knife on tight picking numbers like "Victims and Pawns" and "Overthrown", while the…
Straight from their official Facebook page, Norway’s Sarpedon is ‘declaring war on progressive metal as we know it’. My first exposure to this act, they’ve been active since 2005 and put out two demos before releasing this debut album "Anomic Nation". We have here an 8 song album that is as heavy as it is…
The debut, self-titled album from melodic, bluesy hard rock act Devil’s Train back in 2012 made quite an impression on the scene, smartly putting together familiar players in the scene like Mystic Prophecy’s R.D. Liapikis on vocals and Lakis Ragazas on guitar, ex-Stratovarius drummer Jörg Michael on drums, and current Masterplan bassist Jari Kainulainen. Given…
Her er full lineup og spillertider til alle bandene som skal spille under årets BLASTFEST:
Førstkommende fredag (30/1) inviterer Negative Vibe Records til trippel releasekonert med BLODSPOR, SHAVING THE WEREWOLF og CAUSING THE EXILE på Revolver i Oslo. Gildet koster kun hundrelappen.
Når Taake er i Bergen, så møter det alltid et mannsterkt publikum opp for å ønske byens største black metal band velkommen hjem. Intet unntak denne gangen, Hulen var vel omtrent fullstappet. I det konserten begynner er det helt fullstappet i konsertsalen i Hulen, og som regel vil dette være lett å forstå. Beklagelig vis…
Code has been an interesting band to follow ever since it was first conceived back in the early 2000s, not only due to the quality of its full-length albums, but also the unpredictable and exciting twists and turns that the music and the band as a whole seem to have embraced wholeheartedly ever since the…
Belgisk black metal i Dimmu Borgir gata. Ancient Rites er et band jeg har hørt om i snart en mannsalder, men har aldri sjekket dem ut noe særlig. Det jeg har hørt av dem har ikke tent noen form for gnist i meg slik at jeg har hatt lyst til å sjekke dem ut grundigere.…
Ein kveld på Garage dedikert til målsaka vert sjeldan betre markert enn med Rammstein tributegruppa Rammsund. Eit publikum som er av det varierte slaget ser fram til ein nydeleg kveld med energisk musikk. Bandet kjem på scena. Dei ser alle ut som den klassiske arbeidarklassemannen, med eit veldig industrielt preg. Olje og sot på kroppane…
Normal bands would consider a 3 song effort an EP, and although UK progressive metal act Haken look at their latest release "Restoration" in the same regard, understand that you’ll get close to 34 minutes of songwriting for your time. Through three previous studio albums the sextet have asserted themselves with a melodic yet intricate…
Manchester er velkjent for sine to fotballag, men de har også mer å by på. Her i form av Ingested. Ingested er et death metal band av den brutale sorten. De har enkelte metalcore innslag i musikken sin. Alle som kjenner meg, vet at jeg absolutt ikke er en fan av akkurat metalcore, men brukt…
