I’d argue that some genres just feel more appropriate during specific seasons, and one of those is doom metal. It just fits these gloomy and cold days perfectly, and the weather just makes you appreciate the music even more. Which is why Coldspine‘s new album Nullpunkt is the ideal travel companion for December. Let me …

Cat Piss Potion – Millenial Breakdown
A couple of weeks I mentioned that writing reviews about the same band can be repetitive, unless the band changes their style drastically. While I’ve never written about Cat Piss Potion, I have reviewed two other projects with the same singer: Godmorgon and Venlafvckscene. Despite those two projects being in different genres, they featured quite …
Venlafvckscene – Poetry
While I love writing reviews, there are instances where I’m not sure if there is a point to it. Not because the music is bad or anything, just because some releases are so short that the time invested in writing down my thoughts, is longer than just telling you to listen to it yourself. Which …
Godmorgon – Out Of Spite
Let’s face it: the heavy music scene is a massive sausagefest. I do have to acknowledge that the crowds have diversified quite a bit over these past twenty years that I’ve been going to shows, but the people on stage are still for the most part men, which tends to be more and more true …
Idle Class – Of Glass And Paper
It’s been a little over a year since I first discovered today’s band at all-day punk show here in Luxembourg, and after reviewing a split EP they were on in October, I’m excited to say that Idle Class are back with a full-length entitled Of Glass And Paper, that is going to be released on …
Fights And Fires/Idle Class – Split 7inch
A couple of weeks ago I went to an all-day skate punk show here in Luxembourg and out of the many bands playing, there was one act that stood out to me: the German formation Idle Class. Me being me I couldn’t help but chat them up and ask if they had anything coming up …

Nerveguns – Nerveguns
To clear one thing up right away: punk is not dead! Not in the music scene, nor here on El Gore, because today I’m going to whet your appetite for Nerveguns‘ self-titled debut album. The punk rock quartet hailing from Heinsberg, in Germany, is one of the many bands that do everything to keep the …
The Intersphere – Relations In The Unseen
Barely two years after their last album, The Intersphere is releasing a new one: Relations In The Unseen. One might think that such a short period of time might not be enough to evolve musically, but one couldn’t be more wrong! But let me elaborate that in the next few paragraphs. While the German quartet …

Trash Monday LXXIII
I remember being invited to Leo’s bungalow, 7 years ago. Friedrich, a German student in European School, got asked what he would think of the accomodation; to which he stoically replied: “Your Haus is too BRRAUUNN!” [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_-Qtz70_z4]
The Convois – Ocean’s Tale
Have you ever gone to a small gig to maybe watch some of your friends play, but aside from them you didn’t know any other band that was set to appear that night? Well, exactly that happened to me last Saturday when I went to Soul Kitchen in Luxembourg for the Locals Fest 3. As …
