When I first heard the name Betraying The Martyrs back in late 2012, I didn’t really pay much attention to the band. In early 2013 I saw them live for the first time and their energetic live show convinced me to give their debut album Breathe In Life a chance. I haven’t regretted it to […]

Sliver – Disobey Giants
A few weeks ago I went to a local show and since I was there quite early, I got to witness the soundcheck of the opening band Sliver. Having never heard of them, I was severely impressed by the two half-songs they played and I figured that I had to feature them on here and […]
Not Scientists – Leave Stickers On Our Graves
Not Scientists is one of those bands that confirms my belief of going to smaller shows, even if you don’t know all, or even any at all, of the bands that are playing that night. I got the chance to see them perform a little intimate gig here in Luxembourg and I was so impressed […]
MWTE – Attraction To Light
I’ve been following the career of electronic trio MWTE from Metz quite closely for a while because I’m a huge fan of their first release, and on Friday two weeks ago I finally held their second (and first physical) EP in my hands: Attraction To Light. The artwork left the first fair impression. There is something […]
Sipping – 49.25/6.20
France is known for many things. Like losing wars, being romantic and Louis de Funès but metal is not a big export it can claim. While they do have a handful of really good and even well-known bands that made it internationally, they are mostly know musically for their pop and rap. Today’s review is […]
Mr. Oizo – Amicalement
Expect the unexpected, kids. You never really know what Mr. Oizo a.k.a. Quentin Dupieux‘s up to when it comes to a new release. Except that it’s gonna be electronic, trashy and yet geeky as fuck. Amicalement‘s got every ingredient disposable that characterizes Mr. Oizo‘s sound and there’s still room for a surprising collaboration with Marilyn Manson on the second track Solid, which […]
Trash Monday LXXIV
Listen to this great song and watch the most epic metal video ever shot! Suicidal Black Metal takes on a completely new meaning. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIEb3t0jm_U]
Trash Monday LXVIII
There’s this peculiar thing in human behaviour I just don’t understand. If it were rugs made by exploited children in India, everyone would be appalled and disapprove such perversity. Jordy on the other hand, had a number one hit in France with the tender age of 4 years. Good thing he could keep the earnings […]
BUTE – Crustatomic
Crustcore/Punk, Powerviolence have re-gained a lot of „popularity“ over the last years and like every time something gets popular, cool and trendy the market becomes congested and newbies find it difficult to distinguish and to pick up the best stuff (although this is subjective most of the time). If you are an amateur when it […]
Trepalium – H.N.P.
As teased yesterday, here’s the review of the second opening act that night: the French band Trepalium! A lot of people have probably heard them before without even knowing it since back in 2006 their song Sick Boogie Murder raised a lot of eyebrows because of its interesting sound. In 2012 the quintet released a […]
