I am not normally a fan of dance music. I am even less so a fan of the abomination that we know today as “dubstep”, which I find extremely repetitive and boring and mind-numbing- and made even worse by the fact that many of the people who make it...

New song off the latest VOLBEAT album- when these guys get things going, they really know how to string together a great tune: VOLBEAT, of course, are known for this sort of thing- great catchy well-crafted songs with powerful, uplifting lyrics. See also: And, of...

New SABATON album on its way. Need I say more? Judging by their last two albums, this one is going to SLAY. This one has kind of the same sort of groove to it that “Hearts of Iron” did from Heroes, and that is one of my favourite songs by this awesome...

JACKYL are deep-fried Southern rock at its hillbilly best. I discovered them after stumbling across their album, Best in Show. It is one of the very few albums that I’ve ever bought just because I really liked the cover art. Turns out that it kicked all kinds of...

I’ve often thought that Tuomas Huolopainen- the mastermind behind NIGHTWISH, a.k.a. “THE best symphonic metal band there is”- has his head shoved up his own arse far too often for his own good. All you have to do is listen to tracks like “The...

Which he absolutely would have been: EXMORTUS were the opening act for the truly almighty AMON AMARTH last Friday night. Now normally, I could not care less who opens for bands like IRON MAIDEN, AMON AMARTH, or HELLOWEEN; I applaud them politely while mentally telling...
