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…

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…
