This week I’m going to review a very fresh demo by a still rather unknown band from Finland. On September 4th Balegard released their second demo called Tbst completely for free via social networks and I decided to check them out. Let me begin by giving you a general idea about the genre: it’s black …

Stone Sour – Stone Sour
Today I’m going to review another CD that will most likely stay in my top 3 of all time forever. Ironically, it features two members from this album…ladies and gentlemen, I give you Stone Sour and their self-titled debut album. Stone Sour have their roots in 1992, way before Slipknot, but only saw mainstream success …
Trash Monday XXXII
Back when I first saw this music video, I remember bugging my mom about having a pea truck…needless to say she never gave in. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfN-pXD5MDw]
Abstract Rapture – Earthcrush
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 …
