BILL & PHILL – Songs of Darkness and Despair

I am waaaayyyy too late when it comes to reviewing this little gem of an EP, but better late than never, right? This brilliantly executed and entertaining 6-track release by the living legends that are Bill Moseley (House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects) and Phil Anselmo (Superjoint, Down, Scour) is a moody exploration and…

BELPHEGOR – Spells of Reflection

    The pulverizing black/death metal horde from Austria known as Belphegor recently placed yet another sinister musical curse on us by means of the highly engaging and captivating album that is “Totenritual”. The band has been spreading its violent plague for decades now and is better and stronger than ever before. There is very little not to like about the brand new album and so naturally Eternal Terror Live simply had to have a chat with the great man himself, Helmuth (guitars, vocals), about the theme of the album, different sources of inspiration, life on the road, and just how brainwashing TV truly is. Read on, folks, and do not forget to check “Totenritual” out as it stands tall and proud as a brilliant and cohesive piece of work that will satisfy any bestial desire and craving you can possibly think of.     

HORRIFIED – Allure Of The Fallen

Just when you thought that all was said and done in melodic death metal, that the numerous clones of In Flames and Dark Tranquillity have murdered one of my personal favorites genres, in comes this majestic, beautiful yet still fairly extreme construct. I have to admit that the brilliant introduction to the album that came…

STEVE HOWE – Anthology 2: Groups and Collaborations

This amazing and beautifully packaged 3-CD release consisting of no less than 56 different compositions that are all somehow linked or attributed to legendary guitarist Steve Howe (Yes, Asia, GTR) is truly a treasure trove of great music. First of all, the album artwork by renowned artist Robert Dean is stunning. I have no idea…

GLENN HUGHES – Return of Crystal Karma (2CD Expanded Edition)

 The excellent albeit overlooked album by legendary vocalist/bassist Glenn Hughes entitled "Return of Crystal Karma" was recently reissued featuring the original studio album from 2000 in remastered form along with a kick-ass live show that was captured on tape in Brazil back in 1999. For some reason, the album never really received the recognition that…

WOLFGANG FLÜR – I Was a Robot – book

Former Kraftwerk drummer/percussionist Wolfgang Flür published this interesting and thought-provoking autobiography of his a number of years ago, which caused quite a bit of controversy in that many of the myths surrounding his former band were debunked and laid bare. Flür provided us with a unique access and insight into the inner workings and dynamics…

RONNIE MONTROSE – 10X10

The legendary and sadly missed guitarist Ronnie Montrose was not only a marvelous composer and musician, but also a visionary whose style of playing and way of crafting riffs were innovative and groundbreaking. Before he died, he was working on an album entitled 10X10 where the idea was to whip up ten songs and then…
