Crustcore/Punk, Powerviolence have re-gained a lot of „popularity“ over the last years and like every time something gets popular, cool and trendy the market becomes congested and newbies find it difficult to distinguish and to pick up the best stuff (although this is subjective most of the time). If you are an amateur when it …

HATE CRIME
Independent filmmaker James Cullen Bressack‘s latest movie HATE CRIME was quite difficult to review for me. To be straightforward with you, James and his movie want to provoke, which sometimes works really well but unfortunately also fails quite a few times. To give you an idea of what we are talking about here: HATE CRIME is …
Fights And Fires – We Could All Be Dead Tomorrow
Fights and Fires remain true to themselves, not without refining their rock soup with some nice little ingredients. If spring won’t come in the next months then this will melt the snow just at the right time to start the festival season.

Wrath Of God – Holy In Hell
A few weeks ago Frantz from the desert rock band Dirty Crows, Denis and I decided, quite spontaneously, to go and see our friends from The Majestic Unicorns From Hell who were playing a gig in the centre of Luxembourg. I didn’t know anything about the other bands playing and to be honest, I also …
Type O Negative – Slow, Deep And Hard
This time around I decided to review an album I hold dear as I discovered it at the right time and connected with Pete(r) Steele and his vocals/lyrics instantly. So I apologize for the long emotional diarrhoea that is to follow. Type O Negative are a band that I first heard back in 1995. I …
Fights and Fires – The Proof That Ghosts Exist
The Proof That Ghosts Exist (or how I would say: “the proof that totally unknown bands selling totally cheap CDs can actually be pretty catchy!”) is the 2011 release by the 4 young Englishsmen Fights and Fires. “Fights and who..?” you might ask now. Well, the boys have started to build up some reputation in …

Heartbeat Parade – Burning Nantucket! EP
Well, what do we have here? Is it Postrock? Posthardcore? Instrumental Mathrock? Or everything together? Heartbeat Parade have been causing some noise for over two years now in the Luxembourgish music scene. Their Burning Nantucket! EP gives us a preview of what’s about to happen on their first long player scheduled for later this year. Postrock …
