I like Italians speak English sing with this certain accent or. I also like it when they pose with EROS RAMAZZOTTI glasses and come along like leather-like. I also like this Italian prog metal band?

“The Prophecy” is actually the first album of the band GEMINY after they gave out a promo in 2006 with five songs and 2010 PreProduction with four tracks. And find these titles are all back on the 2012er album, “Temple Of Heroes” twice. So why buy the album then? Because it still contains a few new tracks. Provided, of course, the sound like at all

The Resistance are a new band but in reality the all-star extreme metal project from Sweden consisting of vocalist Marco Aro (The Haunted, Face Down), the former IN FLAMES  guitarists: Jesper Strömblad and Glenn Ljungström, and Chris Barkensjö on drums. The debut four track EP is merely a taster of things to come (full lenght album due in May). It’s straight ahead, uncompromising, Stockholm

ENVINYA – INNER SILENCE 2013

Another lesson learned. I should pay more attention to the promo material and the music when previewing a band for review. As to the former, the press material states that Envinya, another female-fronted metal band, and their debut album Inner Silence, is traditional metal with a modern touch. I should

The Hyper Actives are a Stockholm based band in it to restore the former glory of Rock´n´Roll. And to be able to do that they have to transform them self to 1960ies Marvel kind of comic book characters.
This could been a nonsense joke, by a bunch of lads trying to be funny, but!!! There are some sad things about the world of music today, that gives their comic book fantasy mission a legacy IRL.

Here’s something you don’t hear every day – a Swedish industrial metal band who have gone, well, all countrified! Yes, the three members of one of Sweden’s top industrial metal meisters, Raubtier, have dragged in a bonus member (Kenneth Seil from Scar Symmetry) and taken it back to, well, someone else’s roots under the guise of the hard drinkin’, hard fightin’ and decidedly American Bourbon Boys.

Jorn – Symphonic 2013

I was skeptical at first, possibly even stupefied: adding a symphonic orchestral layer to songs that weren’t arranged that way in the first place. Why did Jorn agree to this and who put him up to it? It seems it was a spontaneous notion that came to life in rather quick fashion.
