Album Reviews
The pillars of truth: let’s smash them down with heavy guitars, energetic drums and strong vocals. This is what As We Suffer, from Ottawa (Canada), is doing with their debut album.
What does The Quill from Sweden, do when they can’t perform due to a worldwide pandemic? They create a killer ninth studio album!
You can’t miss Diamante Azzura Boveli when she passes by with her sapphire hair. But you can deffinitely not ignore (nor forget) her once you hear her sing. She is only 24 years old and she’s already crushing it. After her debut album in 2018, she made a killer rock album all independently.
Australian Butterfly brings us a traditional heavy metal album filled with retro sounds that go from hard to soft and back hard again!
The Dead Daisies is definitely breathing Hard Rock through and through. They want to prove that Rock is alive and well and here to stay, well, they just proved that.
Holy Mother’s new album was recorded because of their love for the music, the fans and in loving memory of their bass player Randy Coven.
Prepare for some explosive American hard rock coming from the debut full-length album of Hearts & Hand Grenades!
The word I find myself using a lot here is power. King Creature is at its best when they go all out and produce nice hardrock with balls.
Ladies and gentlemen, The Night Flight Orchestra will now start their on board service for their latest album ‘Aeromantic’ with a wide selection of cheesy campiness from the eighties.
Santa Cruz is back with a new line-up and a new sound. You can read the review of ‘Katharsis’ here.
