It’s Halloween! So what better way to celebrate the arguably coolest holiday of the year than listen to some spooky tunes, watch horror movies and have a couple of beers? I’ll try to provide at least the musical part with today’s review: Wednesday 13‘s recently released EP Spook & Destroy! Wednesday 13, who is known …

Omega/Ravencult – Straight Down In Hell/Deifier Of Necromancy
I finally got to check out the latest Omega offering after having the 7inch lay around for a couple of weeks. Omega are this awesome Blackened Thrash band from Greece and this is their 2nd official (not counting the demos which were not available to us mere mortals) release. As mentioned above it is a …

Trash Monday XL
This is what comes to my mind whenever I hear that an old band regroups again! Synthie bells and harmonica; what else could a nostalgic heart crave for? Well, as far as I have heard, Debbie Harry is the new face for TENA’s new product spectrum. Geriatrics is the new market niche… [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMRxeVPnqjE]
The Wizard
I’ve been into video games for nearly two decades now and I have to admit that I appreciate the good old Nintendo or Super Nintendo console over a Wii or a Play Station 3. This is mostly an emotional decision because (S)NES games always remind me of my great childhood and make me feel like I’m …
The Sword – Apocryphon
The Sword are getting mature, a development that lots of people use to lay back and relax a bit. The stoner-metal-heads from Austin, Texas have a quite different view considering matureness. Apocryphon is less thrashy than its predecessors: their stoner-metal is more straightforward, or let’s call it “easier to follow”, but still very agile and …
In Fear And Faith – In Fear And Faith
In April 2010 I discovered In Fear And Faith at a show and really enjoyed their set, so I talked to them after the show for a while and bought the two CDs they had put out at the time. However, they told me that they were about to release a new album called Imperial …

John Coffey – Bright Companions
A little hardcore/punk bastard entered my room, entered my turntable, entered my brain and left everything in a complete disaster. This dog’s teeth are sharp like razor blades. This John Coffey would surely have crushed that god damn rat with just one hand. Bright Companions was recorded in Sweden’s famous Gröndahl studio by Refused producer …
Down – Diary Of A Mad Band
Ok, so Down are playing in Luxembourg this month and I decided to give this band another chance to win me over. Having been a Pantera and Corrosion of Conformity fan since the early/mid 90s I did not exactly find out about the band recently, in fact I knew the first album by heart before …
The Devil’s Rejects
Before I decided to do this review I had the intention of writing a short essay about Rob Zombie as a director, screenwriter and producer. In order to prepare myself for this post I made the decision to re-watch some of his stuff. As I have seen The Devil’s Rejects a long time ago I …
