It’s time for another well-known Luxembourgish band: Abstract Rapture. These guys have been around for close to ten years and in 2011 they released the long-awaited follow-up to their 2008 album Democadencia. The rather fitting title they chose: Earthcrush. Please note that because of scheduling problems the release party for the album was only in […]

The Cabin In The Woods
I have to warn you: today’s review is going to be slightly different than the ones you’re used to. First of all, it’s not written by our resident movie junkie but by the “I like metalcore” guy, which means that it’s going to be a rather recent flick. Secondly, it will be rather short in […]
Desdemonia – Existence
There is one Luxembourgish band that probably everyone from the metal scene of the country has heard about and has most likely also seen live at some point. I’m of course talking about the death metal legends Desdemonia. This quartet has probably been the pioneer of heavy music in our little country and has celebrated […]
Trash Monday XXX
The “interesting” music is one thing, but what makes this so compelling is the music video…ladies and gentlemen I present to you: Crabcore. PS: Special mention for the scene at 1:17. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDzt6yI3Dw8]
Slipknot – Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)
In one of my previous reviews I said that I’d probably do another one like it, meaning that I’ll talk about the album and mix it with a bit of personal history. Since this is my tenth contribution I figured this would be a good time to do so. Which is why I’ve decided to […]
Pierce The Veil – Collide With The Sky
In October 2011 I went to see a show specifically for the opening band and they were worth every cent I paid. That band was Pierce The Veil from San Diego. Their by then already one year old record Selfish Machines had simply impressed me so much that I could not have missed that opportunity […]
Trash Monday XXVII
Those of you who remember my last Trash Monday post know where my trash taste comes from. Here’s another prime example of it…Gil. A German copy of Hanson that did indeed have a couple of catchy tunes but was pretty much forgotten in the turn of the millenium. Untypically for Trash Monday I have to […]
Nargaroth – Jahreszeiten
You don’t have to be my number one stalker (you know who you are) to know that, at least nowadays, I mainly listen to metalcore and things that go into that general direction. However, I pride myself in the fact that I listen to a lot of different genres and that I can usually at […]
Dreadnought – Demon
To most Luxembourgish metalheads that visit local shows the name Dreadnought will at least sound familiar since they’ve played quite a few shows in recent times. Now they’re finally here to invade your living room with their demo Demon which they released on June 16th! For those of you that don’t know: Dreadnought play melodic […]
Memphis May Fire – Challenger
Memphis May Fire is a band that I first stumbled upon around May 2011 because Danny Worsnop, singer of Asking Alexandria, tweeted one of their lines and I ended up looking them up. The lyrics were from their back then fresh album The Hollow, to which I listened to countless times in the following months. […]
