Being, as I am, an avid fan of both Depeche Mode (especially of the Alan Charles Wilder era) and heavy metal, I often wonder what the two would sound like combined, something Depeche Mode themselves came close to on the classic "Songs Of Faith And Devotion" (1993) album, and which they sadly never continued. On…
I forbindelse med RHAPSODY OF FIREs andre runde av europaturneen The Eighth Mountain Tour har Norge, etter mange år endelig havnet på reiseruten til de smått legendariske italienerne!
The Amblers reveal the video for new single Birds and the Bees
How much originality does the modern death metal have? Is the genre on the roundabout with constant view to the past, back where things were great and innovative? On their 2nd album, the French quintet proves that death metal can still sound fresh and daring without having to reinvent the proverbial wheel. Having formed in…
As its title so neatly suggests, “ The Complete Misfits Discography” is essentially an overview of the countless official and unofficial releases by the legendary Misfits that are circulating out there in today’s market as well as those by associated acts such as Danzig, The Undead, Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein, Samhain, Michale Graves, Dr. Chud,…

FIGHT THE FIGHT ARE ABOUT TO PULL THEIR “TRIGGERFINGER”. THEIR “DELIVERANCE” COMING IN SEPTEMBER
Det er herved klart til avduking av ferdig program for Norway Rock 2020!
The tragic loss of Tom Petty in 2017 was a devastating blow to rock ‘n’ roll music and the fact that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (i.e. the band) is gone for good is truthfully quite an awful thing to contemplate. The group was unique and so was Petty himself; not only did he craft…

Ørland Rockfest 2020
Gigantisk artistslipp fra publikumsfavoritten Tons of Rock!
Gothernburg’s trio BARRENS premieres first single from upcoming album
The Spanish black/death metal squadron Abisme offers a blistering take on aggressive yet melodically rich extreme metal that clearly owes a lot (and in some respects pays homage) to Swedish acts such as Sacramentum, Necrophobic, Dissection, At the Gates, and Dismember. Relentless and punishing, “As Fear Falls In” shows depth and skill with respect to…
It’s been a while since I have reviewed a hard rock/heavy metal album, much less a good one. Although this Swedish construct is fairly new, Battering Ram show a notable potential with their debut album, somewhere between British and Scandinavian Arena Oriented Rock, on one hand, and New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, on the…
SABATON live at Spektrum Scene, Oslo, Feb 2020 Photo by Anette Skutevik Cold Sunday evenings in Oslo are a good time to attend concerts, especially when it’s the last one of a rather big tour, namely "The Great Tour". The tour started mid January 2020 and consists of Sabaton as headliners, and Amaranthe and Apocalyptica…

Norsk band Hogstul ga ut en ny single
The sadly missed Gary Moore (Thin Lizzy, BBM) surely needs no introduction; the guy revolutionized the blues and did wonders for hard rock and classic too, and let us not forget that he played a pivotal part in crafting Thin Lizzy’s “Black Rose” (1979) LP. Recorded at the awesome Islington Academy in London back in…
What does annihilator do? Annihilator annihilates, that is, destroys everything in its path without a second thought or prejudice. In the case of the Canadian thrash/heavy metal Annihilator it is all too true on the so aptly named "Ballistic, Sadistic". Many legendary thrash bands claim return to the initial "old school" form and some deliver…
Connect The Circle ute med ny singel
Cleveland’s Frayle made some waves in the doom fraternity with their 2018 “The White Witch” EP, their ethereal blend of doom metal and post-metal a breath of fresh air amongst their peers. Female-fronted doom (and the occult rock revival) were already in vogue, but Frayle had an interesting, even balance of sound and dynamic that…

Even though all three of the original Peaceville Trinity (Anathema, My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost) started out as death/doom projects, all fairly equally dividing the death and doom, already on their 2nd album (the legendary masterpiece "Turn Loose The Swans" by many regarded as their best) My Dying Bride showed a great gothic metal tendency,…
The brilliantly titled “A New Day Yesterday” by Mike Barnes is a magnificently in-depth study of British 70s prog rock and bears all the trademarks of a true labor of love on the part of the author. This warm and funny account of one of the most marvelous and often-times misunderstood musical eras is sufficiently…
Hard Rock Night – Trondheim (14/2)
I fucking love Blaze Bayley! His songs and records are so ridiculously underrated and overlooked that it hurts. The two LPs that he did with Iron Maiden (“The X Factor” and “Virtual XI”) are magnificent and the ones released under the Blaze and Blaze Bayley monikers are generally pretty damn fabulous too. This upcoming “Live…
HEAVEN SHALL BURN release video clip for "My Heart And The Ocean" taken from "Of Truth and Sacrifice"
A suffocating sense of impenetrable darkness envelops the listener the very minute those huge, crushing chords and mournful soundscapes emanate from the speakers, and from that point on there is no turning back. The Oslo-based Dwaal revel in various different genres and styles of expression such as doom metal, sludge, post-black metal, and claustrophobic ambient…
