There are certain things in life that technically don’t belong together, but they end up working so well in tandem that your mind is blown; like pineapple on pizza (fight me), peanut butter and jelly or, in today’s case, metal and europop. When Luc François, the mind behind this insane project, first told me about …

Blame Emeraude – Blame Her
A little less than two years, my social media algorithm repeatedly showed me short clips of an artist I had never heard of. At first I kept (doom)scrolling, but after a while I clicked on it and I a) found out that the artist was from Luxembourg and b) made music that I had never …
Kakumori – Coalescence
In the past, I’ve talked about how diverse and large the Luxembourgish (alternative) music scene is; especially once you dive a bit further past the well-established names. I came across today’s band toward the end of the dark-times-we-do-not-talk-about-anymore a few years ago, and I’ve had the chance to see them perform live a handful of …
Aeonik – The Roamer Of Heaven And Hell
While the Luxembourgish metal scene does have numerous bands with a fairly diverse sound, it is not rare for one musician to be in multiple bands, sometimes even playing different instruments. The same phenomenon is true for today’s review topic, Aeonik, who entered the Metal Battle in 2025 as a fairly fresh band and came …
Blanket Hill – When Fire Learns To Speak
Today’s review is going to be quite brief, since it’s about a fairly short EP and the band’s previous release dates back barely two years. However, I could not pass up on it completely so here we go: Blanket Hill‘s When Fire Learns To Speak! The band has definitely found the sweet spot for their …
Rotten Soil – I Worship Death
About twenty years ago, when I started diversifying my taste in metal, I was quite into thrash and death metal, but over time I moved away from it, because the modern genres appealed to me more. However, it’s always kept a steady place in my heart and whenever I’d hear new records of those two …
Marcy – Backwoods
Today I have the great pleasure of writing about a genre that is severely underrepresented in our local music scene, at least to the best of my knowledge: alt-pop! Marcy has been around for about three years but in that short amount of time she has managed to hit quite a few milestones, with the …
Abstract Rapture – Ascension To Downfall
Believe it or not, but this time around it only took six years instead of eight for Abstract Rapture to release a new album! But rest assured, just as last time, it was worth the wait! Ascension To Downfall is going to be released this Saturday, October 18th, and I had the opportunity to spend …
Argon – Vigor Sorority Decay
I like to think that I am fairly in touch with what is going on in the non-mainstream music scene here in Luxembourg, but when I first read about Argon around five months ago, I was completely unaware of their existence. But it turns out that they have been around for nearly a decade without …
Gofai – Safety, Always Off
Noise rock is among one of the genres that I have gotten into more recently, as in more or less five years ago, and it is definitely a gift that keeps on giving. Today’s band is a perfect exemple of what I like about the genre, and even of what I dislike about it. But …
