Moments like these always bring a smile onto my face, because it means that I’ve been doing this for a while, since one of my first reviews I wrote for El Gore was about the second album of today’s band: For All Those Sleeping! A bit more than two years later, they have just released …

Slaves – Through Art We Are All Equals
Today’s review is about another very promising “newcomer”, even though I don’t really consider the quintet to be true newcomers since their lead singer is very well-known and him being famous definitely helped to put the band in the spotlight. However, I can’t hold it against Slaves for making use of that initial boost, since …
Trash Monday CXXIV
Possibly the cheapest music video in the history of music videos? [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruAi4VBoBSM]
Battleghost – Transient
Let’s face it: pop punk has been around for years and while there are a lot of bands in the genre, not a lot have what it takes to stand out from the mass. Today, I’m going to write a bit about Battleghost and their most recent EP Transient. The quartet plays a rather classic …
Trash Monday CXXII
I’ve broken the tradition of choosing terrible songs for Trash Monday a couple of times in the past…and I’ll do so again today. I actually love this Dio cover by Killswitch Engage and I am very aware that the cheesiness of the video is on purpose but it makes me laugh every time, especially seeing …
Everybody Looks Famous – Earth
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m a sucker for pop punk with female vocals. No matter how good or bad the band is, I feel like I have to check them out and give them a chance. In the case of the UK-based Everybody Looks Famous that was actually a smart …
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 …
Miss Fortune – A Spark To Believe
Let’s face it: post-hardcore is one of the most over-saturated genres out there and there is no end in sight. Each year sees new bands pop up which are quite literally a copy-paste of what was cool a year prior. While I’m all for people trying, to me, as a listener and reviewer, it is …
Trash Monday CXIX
Sometimes you come across a video that just leaves you speechless…this is one of them. While I’m strongly against making women hide their faces in the name of religion, this actually encourages it in a way. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK7CVNyBALo]
Miles To Perdition – Blasphemous Rhapsody
Before I start reviewing today’s record, I have to admit that I haven’t really been interested in Miles To Perdition in the past. I had seen them in 2010 as the opener for Avenged Sevenfold and I wasn’t too impressed to be honest…at the beginning of this year I saw that they were about to …
