Interviews

A short talk with Scott about Alex leaving the band, writing music and touring in Europe!

We talked with vocalist Jake about the upcoming album and how they keep getting along after 10 years!

A nice little Skype talk with Amalie about the latest creation of her project “Myrkur” and sharing her nightmares with you…

We had an interesting talk with Ensiferum’s Petri Lindroos about touring, performing… and the upcoming new album ‘Two Paths’!

Moonspell is bringing a new album soon and if we may believe them, it’s going to be a rumbling one… More about that and other things from Pedro!

We talked with John Baizley about his music, new guitarist and dealing with constant pain in the rock ‘n’ roll life.

We had a chat with Niclas about touring, the changes in their music and bands from their homecountry.

A lovely chat at Graspop with guitarist Isaac Delahaye about their music, friends, lyrics and festival!

Album Reviews

Through a fissure between space and time comes crawling Abythic’s debut’ Beneath Ancient Portals’, an album that has been waiting patiently beyond our plane of existence since the Antediluvian age also known to us mortals as the nineties.

Reverorum Ib Malacht, although a catholic band, delivers one of the most haunting, insane and absolutely mind-bending records black metal has seen this year, pushing the limits of the genre even further.

California’s Barren Altar has been working their way up to their first full length of blackened death doom for the past four years through various EPs and a split. June, however, will finally see the release of their debut proper.

Burn The Priest is back! No, don’t worry: Lamb of God didn’t just recently quit. Don’t expect new work, just covers of the music that inspired these guys to make the music they do now.

It’s nothing short of a miracle a newYob record is seeing the light of day at all, as a complicated surgery had put frontman’s Mike Scheidt very life on the line last year. Yet here it is, the follow up to 2014’s’ The Path to Ascend’. Let our raw hearts rejoice!

The thrash metal killing machine from Brazil is back and they’re ready for the “Downfall of Mankind”! Get crushed by another brutal release from Nervosa!

Follow Skogen on their journey through the vast, dark woods of Sweden and their folklore

A Decade of Destruction left us wanting more, well here it is! Five Finger Death Punch’s new album! Come celebrate its release with a bottle of Sham-Pain!

Finnish melodic death metal band Mors Subita is back again with their third full length. 11 crushing tracks that fans of the genre will definitely enjoy.

De boodschap die August Burns Red ons meegaf, is dat Messengers na tien jaar nog steeds een relevant album is in het metalcoregenre!

Heavy metal? Hard rock? It doesn’t matter, as long as it’s heavy and grooves… Headbanger’s Balls Fest 2017 was again a great party!
