We caught up with them at the Backstage venue in Munich and saw it was good!

A very fun evening presented by Tuhdimmat Tahdit and Master Events.

Album Reviews

Grand Magus’ “Wolf God” is an excellent album and in my opinion this might be their best effort to date.

If Icarus Could Fly is another strong follow up to the band’s previous album, Haunt has legitimately contrived and persuasively managed to create their own sound without being musically close to any other band.

The roots of NWOBHM resonates throughout the whole album with zeal and passion.

If you only want distorted guitars, then Battle Beast’s latest is 50/50 for you. If you want to hear the art of composing and the use of different elements that are mastered by the band, then this album will most definitely touch you.

Pounder’s debut full-length album is quite refreshing and the band has managed to bring some energizing tunes without emulating other bands.

This album is yet again amazing. When you hear the music, you know it’s While She Sleeps.

Are you ready to enter the kingdom of Thorium to honour their king and their God?

Conclusion: “Clockwork Immortality” is a good album by Lovebites, definitely room for improvement in an own individual sound and storytelling. Definitely give it a couple of listens, you won’t regret it.
