Instrumental music: you either love it or you hate it. Generally-speaking, it’s difficult for that type of music to win me over, which is why I wasn’t a huge fan of today’s band in recent years. But as chance has it, the Luxembourgish progressive veterans, Kitshickers, are returning to their roots and have a proper …

Fusion Bomb – Pravda
Little history lesson: about three years ago, there was a surge of new young bands emerging in the local scene and playing a lot of small shows. The vast majority of those bands were of the same genre: something-core; be it hardcore, metalcore or deathcore. A fact that I have nothing against, since I enjoy …
Soulhenge – Anachronism
One of the biggest new phenomena of the past ten years in the realms of heavier music is hands down djent. While its roots lie in even earlier times, there has clearly been a very steep increase in its popularity, and almost every new band seems to at least have djent elements in their sound. …
Sleepers’ Guilt – Kilesa
It’s been almost three years since one local band underwent a line-up change that made them go from “OK, I guess” to “Nice, I do declare!” in my book. This change was in the form of their lead singer, who was previously of the power metal variant, but was replaced with a growler and thus …
The Majestic Unicorns From Hell – A Matter Of Less In More
“How can less be more? It’s impossible. More is more.” Never has this sentence been more accurate and more false at the same time than in the intro of the new record by a band that is definitely in the top 4 of all the instrumental bands that we have here in Luxembourg. I’m a …

Sliver – No Idols/No Icons
The way I choose what to review is pretty easy: if it’s national, I’ll most likely write about it and if it’s an international one whose previous album I liked, they’ll probably also be featured on here. There are of course a couple of exceptions but that’s the, albeit slightly unfair, modus operandi. Well, with …
The Filthy Broke Billionaires – In God We Trust, The Others Pay Cash
A new year means new releases to look forward to, which is always nice…even more so when it’s a national release! The start of the annual Luxembourgish releases is made by the fairly new band The Filthy Broke Billionaires, that has their debut EP In God We Trust, The Others Pay Cash in tow! And …

Everwaiting Serenade – No Harbor
Ten years. Unless you speak of the earth itself, that’s a long time. Even more so if a band reaches that milestone in its existence, since in today’s music industry that’s becoming more and more rare, with many formations splitting up after a record already. Which is why I am delighted to write a review …
Mindpatrol – The Marble Fall
Imagine this: you start a musical project with your good friend, you write, record, produce and release it all by yourself in complete DIY fashion and it is met with with mixed to negative reviews. What do you do? I’ll tell you what you should do: dust yourself off, recruit some more like-minded individuals, start …
Adoptees – Adopt These
After a whole month of downtime, to recharge the batteries, it truly feels good to be back. And what better way to restart the machine than with a brand new local release? Adoptees, a Luxembourgish punk rock quartet, is actually releasing their (very) long-awaited debut full length, Adopt These, today at noon and I’m very …
