Our site is dedicated to everything rock and metal with a few sidesteps in music that appeals to the same music fans like synthwave, neo (pagan) folk, industrial,… But some of us do have a taste for music and art that goes beyond these limitations. Enter “GRIMM goes rogue”: where you’ll get a metalhead, punker, rocker,… who ventures into realms beyond their usual habitat with an open mind and give their honest opinion, views and experiences.

"A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open."

Album Reviews

Host’s debut release ‘IX’ is a very catchy album and has multiple complex textures and dark gothic themes as you will find yourself sprawling on the ground with sedatives. Nick Holmes & Gregor Mackintosh take a dark direction toward the electro gothic synth/rock music that is fully of catchy choruses and lush electronic textures. Released February 24 via Nuclear Blast Records.

Igorrr… music not for the weak-hearted and close-minded, but if you are able to open yourself up for his creations this masterpiece will blow you away!
