Doom Side of the Moon is obviously a reference to Pink Floyd’s legendary "Dark Side of the Moon" opus, and, as the name suggests, it is a doom metal tribute to the prog rock masterpiece. Actually, it is more akin to stoner rock than doom metal, to be perfectly honest with you, but let us…
The Norwegian trio named Ohmwork quite recently unleashed this new bombastic effort of theirs, "Alyssa Drone", via Rob Rules Records and the result is generally a satisfying one. The album consists of eleven tunes (twelve if you count the radio edit of "Requiem of the Fallen") of which the majority are cleverly written and nicely…
The Italian doom metal outfit named In Aevum Agere recently re-released this 2007 demo opus of theirs entitled "From the Depth of Soul" albeit in remastered form and including a pretty decent bonus track. So far, so good. Strong melodies, crushing riffs, melancholy, and a foreboding sense of doom and despair are what is on…
The sickening industrial metal outfit known as PORN (brilliant name, eh?) have returned from beyond the barren fields of human waste and graced us with yet another full-length assault, this time their third such cursed opus. Inspired by the works of the infamous Aleister Crowley, Porn takes us through the darkest recesses of the human…
The hard-hitting Swedish rockers known as Mustasch laid siege to the city of Bergen on a dreary Wednesday night and drew a pretty decent-sized crowd who were there to have their asses kicked six ways to Sunday by the quartet. The band walked on stage and launched into the dynamic “Double Nature” and from…
German hard rockers Scorpions looks back at a history of over 50 years and now in 2017 they embarked on a Crazy World tour that started back in September and so far has covered USA and the Russian Federation. After 11 days break, tour started again in Oslo, Norway and it was actually a good…
Trondheim Calling har hvert år viet plass i festivalprogrammet til musikk av det hardere slaget fra norsk undergrunn innenfor hardocore, punk og metal. Dagens artistslipp representerer både albumaktuelle og publikumsfavoritter i flere undersjangre.
The infamous and highly talented Nikki Sixx (Motley Crue) published his drug-riddled memoir entitled "The Heroin Diaries" ten years ago, which was a compelling yet disturbing journey into madness, despair, and abuse, but it was also a story about hope, recovery and redemption. The biography, or diary, if you will, was rather hard to absorb…

At first inspection you see the aztec/ maya inspired cover artwork and then you may think this is another South American band -as far too many bands have attempted to bring pre-columbian themes into metal with varied degrees of success. Then you read the song list and if you have any remote knowledge of spanish…
The Story of the Kinks: You Really Got Me by author Nick Hasted is a balanced and well-written biography on the legendary British outfit that is The Kinks.

Det lille, men allikevel store, bandet fra Brighton var duket for å avslutte helgen i Oslo med konsert på Sentrum Scene. Basert på oppmøtet alene var dette en enormt etterlengtet tilbakevending, for her er det ikke plass til en eneste sjel til. Heller ikke overraskende var gjennomsnittsalderen kanskje 24, og majoriteten var danseglade kvinner. Når…
The vicious and violent black metal ensemble known as Scour has graced us with yet another EP following last year’s “Grey” release. This brand new six-track offering is appropriately titled “Red” and contains roughly sixteen minutes of face-melting darkness. Featuring Phil Anselmo (Superjoint, Down), John Jarvis (Pig Destroyer), Chase Fraser (Conflux), Derek Engemann (Catle Decapitation),…
Jeff Lynne of ELO fame is a living legend. Of that, there can be no doubt. The man has inspired and influenced countless musicians from all kinds of different backgrounds for decades and continues to do so. There is a reason why Axl Rose (Guns N’ Roses) cites ELO as one of his favorite bands…
Det ble dessverre ingen flammer i dag. Det er nesten på dagen 11 år siden jeg så dem første gang, og som en langtidsfan av In Flames hadde jeg enormt høye forhåpninger til showet. Dessverre ble jeg litt skuffet In Flames, Oslo Spektrum // Foto: Aleksander Espelid Jeg må starte med å si at bandet…
A cold Norwegian November evening is the perfect setting for a sold out indoor concert where the happy and on-its-way to high intoxication level crowd makes sure you stay warm and intimate with those nearby. This is the reason why I spent a good deal of the first songs from The Pretty Reckless trying to…
With the release of their second full-length album, "Egocidal Path" on Dark Essence Records, the 3RD ATTEMPT have released a video which give fans an insight into the sound of the album, and it also features a voice-over by frontman and lyricist Ødemark himself, describing to fans the concept behind each track.
This awesome 3CD version of Glenn Hughes’ 2003 album named "Songs in the Key of Rock" is another treat for all you lovers of world-class hard rock with depth and substance to it. As with the other Glenn Hughes remasters by Cherry Red Records and Purple Records, this one is filled to the brim with…

The 2001 release entitled "Building the Machine" by the ever-awesome Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Country Communion, Black Sabbath) saw the legendary voice of rock combine his kick-ass hard rock with his love for soul and funk music to great effect, which is nothing new really, because Glenn has more or less always combined those…

The German heavy metal scumbags that are Inner Axis recently released this ten-track effort of theirs entitled "We Live by the Steel" (which sounds like something Manowar might have come up with!) via Fastball Music and we are talking about pure heavy metal inspired by Accept, Iron Maiden, Manowar, and Judas Priest here. Actually, it…
Vanish is a progressive power metal act hailing from Germany that have been at it for more than ten years now, but I must admit that I had never come across or heard about these guys until this third full-length opus of theirs, which is entitled "The Insanity Abstract", showed up in my mailbox one…
Mustasch, et av Skandinavias feteste hardrockband, gir ut sitt niende album og setter kursen over grensen til Norge.
Deep Purple@Oslo SpektrumPhoto by Aleksander Eilertsen There’s always mixed feelings before attending a concert of a band whose musical career is older than you and who are out on their Long good bye tour as most of the members are close or have already passed the age of 70. They are a big part…
The nasty Norwegian fuckers that are Filthgrave recently spat forth this rather ugly and interesting 4-song demo entitled "Desecration" containing roughly twenty minutes of somewhat simple, murky, and catchy black metal, and the result is quite good and worth exploring in more detail. The music conjured up by Filthgrave is firmly rooted in old-school black…
Track premiere for Swedish grim black metal RIMFROST who is returning with a wondrous, closer to 11 minute long single, a year and half after the release of their successful self-titled third full length. The single will be dropped under the banner of Non Serviam Records.

This superb 149-page book entitled "Sex Pistols: 90 Days at EMI" by former EMI PR executive Brian Southall provides us with an exhaustive study of the rather tense, problematic, and ultimately incompatible relationship between the notorious Sex Pistols and the well-respected and revered EMI. The Sex Pistols/EMI coupling was an odd one to many; why…
Harakiri For The Sky – new album “Arson” is ready and European tourdaes confirmed for end of 2017 and beginning of 2018!
Taake is a compelling and highly interesting musical entity for a number of different reasons. Not only has the band, which is spearheaded solely by multi-instrumentalist Hoest, become better with time, but Taake never fails to amaze or captivate me whenever it spews forth a brand new opus. It is not that it is the…
For some reason this 2016 effort entitled "Metamorfosis" by the French death metal combo named Mezcla did not end up in my mailbox until quite recently, so this is not exactly a brand new album or anything like that, but still, let us see what these guys have to offer, shall we? Musically, Mezcla is…
Order live@Folken, Stavanger Photo by Irmina Lunnøy Photography Selv om Order ble dannet så sent som i 2013 har de rukket å oppnå mye popularitet. Det er ikke akkurat overraskende tatt i betraktning at medlemmene i bandet er prominente musikere fra det norske metal miljøet. Vokalisten Messiah og trommisen Manheim var tidligere i Mayhem,…
