Almost 14 years ago, a dark sign of oppression and unfreedom was pulled down in Berlin. Ladies and gentlemen, the man who gets all the girls, the legend who unified two peoples and who destroyed communism. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ot_katYYiU]

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 […]
Trash Monday XXXIX
Another proposal from one of our dear twitter followers. Well…not much to comment on…it is kind of calming to know that you guys are at least as bananas as we are. Thanks to @x3nu_lu! [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvkYZ1RJFmg]
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 […]
Rival Sons – Head Down
Another chapter in the long book called “Modern bands that sound like old ones”. You may not be the kind of person claiming that everything was better in the past, but this certainly will have the potential to remind you of the good old times. I’ll really try not to make too many allusions to […]
Motorpsycho – Heavy Metal Fruit
Shame on the author once again, because it was only in 2010 when he came along the prog masters and songwriters from Motorpsycho. Heavy Metal Fruit is sometimes titled as a longer EP, a huge understatement considering the deepness and the length of over 60 minutes playtime. Their latest release The Death Defying Unicorn from […]
Trash Monday XXXIV
Ashland High, aka Trace Cyrus, aka Miley Cyrus’ brother, aka “if Travis Barker and Justin Bieber had a child”… Video is no longer on Youtube, so find it here.
The Intersphere – Hold On, Liberty!
When I discovered The Intersphere for the first time at this year’s Food For Your Senses Festival, I described their sound as a mixture between softer and harder post-core elements with Muse-ish riffs and clean Fall-Out-Boy-ish vocals. An impression that is confirmed throughout their 2012 release Hold on, Liberty!, combined with a solid touch of […]
Torche – Harmonicraft
Two-horned creatures puking rainbows in a pink candy-sky-land. One of those covers that just oblige you to buy the album, no matter how it sounds. The good thing in this case: it doesn’t just look like a drug trip becoming true, it also rocks butts right from the beginning. And I can’t believe that the […]
Fights and Fires – The Proof That Ghosts Exist
The Proof That Ghosts Exist (or how I would say: “the proof that totally unknown bands selling totally cheap CDs can actually be pretty catchy!”) is the 2011 release by the 4 young Englishsmen Fights and Fires. “Fights and who..?” you might ask now. Well, the boys have started to build up some reputation in […]
