Musicians from successful bands who take solo flight can find themselves with a challenge on their hands. The same partly happened to Ian Gillan after leaving Deep Purple and forming his own solo project. Cherkazoo & Other Stories is his very early solo recordings, actually a debut solo album, containing 18 tracks recorded between 1973 and 1975. It also includes a hidden bonus track. Still, [read more]
Formed in Italy in 1994, band Arthemis has been around for many years now, delivering their deadly Heavy/Thrash Metal attack. Their latest offering is a full-length record entitled Heroes; an exhilarating high-powered metal experience in the vein of old-school masters Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Accept, Rhapsody, Megadeth and such. Despite of the undisputed high quality of this Italian outfit; they’ve not received a whole lot [read more]
Polish groovy death/grind metallers Sainc have recently released their second full-length album Schizis. The album raises some questions concerning human psychiatric disorders and other varied examples of the dark human behaviour. It is obviously also the main plot of the lyrical content. It is not first time that I come across a metal band that tries to explore this dark side of a human psyche, [read more]
Originally formed in 1978 in Boston (USA) Controlled Bleeding has released a few remarkable releases of which Penetration is the only one released through commercial label. Thus, Controlled Bleeding is one of the most prolific and unpredictable industrial bands ever to come from America. Penetration is a true masterpiece of experimental and industrial sound for all fans of the genre. On these ten tracks, the [read more]
A Prayer Under Pressure of Violent Anguish is the re-release of the second full-length album from 2000 by a hard rock/metal band My Ruin. The band is fronted by always angry and sexy Tairrie B. and it is also her soft, sexy and mystical voice that opens this album with her telling about her dream – it is called “Morning Prayer”.From the very first riff [read more]
Another Italian band, but this time it isn’t a power nor a metalcore, but rather a death metal combo from Padua. Band’s name is Soulpit and Substantial is their debut album containing 11 tracks much as a combination of European and American schools of death metal. The band creates some kick-ass riffs, much in the hard & heavy rock manner and with vocals that are [read more]
I’ve heard hundreds of Italian bands during the last couple of years, but never the one called Open Fire. First thing that strike me was the fact that this 5-piece is only using English name for their band, but all other things incl. lyrics are in their native Italian. Their first full-length and latest offering is somehow also strange and odd. Sipario Di Notte Vestito [read more]
Eternal, Dark is the title of the second full-length release from a Belorussian cold/pagan/viking black metal band Raven Throne. It is important not to confuse by the band-name, as there's also a Canadian black metal act using the same name! At first encounter I thought it must be another Satyricon clone, as the opening riffs of the first song “In The Grip Of Winter” reminds [read more]
It’s one of the most underrated grunge bands of the 90s. And I was expected to hear songs a la Nirvana and Alice in Chains, but I was wrong. The album has heavier elements much in the vein of Black Sabbath and other doom/alternative bands. It’s my first time here at MR to review this kind of an album. Willard has recently released their new [read more]
Heavy Metal band from our neighbouring Sweden, Gallows End, has recently released their debut album Nemesis Divine. Sweden is one of the rare countries that almost always guarantee a good quality metal, no matter sub-genre. The same is the case with Gallows End where the band is nurturing the old-school sound of the 80s with many brave and old-fashioned tracks that are very much guitar-orientated. [read more]
