MAMMOTH WVH – MAMMOTH WVH

The son of the mighty Edward Van Halen, Wolfgang, has broken out on his own with an album that holds the name of a band but is in reality nothing but a solo record where Wolfie has written everything on his own...

BLACKBERRY SMOKE – YOU HEAR GEORGIA

Opener "Live It Down" tells me that, yes, Blackberry Smoke seems to wanna rock things up hard again. It's an upbeat Classic Rock groover with a big 70's feel, it really rocks but with their brand of Southern Ro...

THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA – AEROMANTIC II

This lot really need no introduction whatsoever. Since the magnificent debut Internal Affairs from 2012 they have released five more albums, this one included and they are now pretty much a household name - esp...

PROUD – SECOND ACT

I took one look at the promo and said to myself: Proud? Could that be...? Apparently, yes it could. Back in the early to mid 80's, Hard Rock and Metal were on the rise in Sweden and at one point it seemed like ...

SEVENTH CRYSTAL – DELIRIUM

My first thought when I saw the name of this band was that it had to be some Power Metal band of sorts or some standard Metal band from Bumfuck, Nowhere. Kind of. I dunno, maybe some kinda prog-metal gang. Wron...

SUNBOMB – EVIL AND DIVINE

Stryper lead vocalist, guitarist and main song-writer Michael Sweet seems to be everywhere nowadays. If it's not with Stryper, it's him going solo or the Sweet & Lynch project. If that wasn't enough here's ...

ROBIN McAULEY – STANDING ON THE EDGE

The first time I heard the voice of Robin McAuley was way back in the early 80's when our premier radio rock-show Rockbox played the song "Shout" by his then band Grand Prix - and I was immediately floored. The...

Re: ELECTRIC BOYS – UPS!DE DOWN

When Grunge took over in the mid 90's it was enough that a band became big in the 80's for them to be thrown into the garbage-bin, no matter in what genre of Rock you dwelled. This happened to 70's sounding fun...

REACH – THE PROMISE OF A LIFE

When Reach regrouped and redefined their sound - from an AOR band into a more modern Hard Rock act, from a five piece to a trio - back in 2018, their then new album The Great Divine was one of the biggest pleas...

GRETA VAN FLEET – THE BATTLE AT GARDEN’S GATE

If there's one act out there that must have had some huge expectations to make a follow-up album today, it must be Greta Van Fleet. Their successful debut album Anthem Of The Peaceful Army showed up six years a...

ICON OF SIN – ICON OF SIN

What do you do when you're a singer and you discover that your voice sounds scarily alike a more well-known singer? Well, maybe start a tribute-band of sorts? Or you can do what Brazilian singer Raphael Mendes ...

TEMPLE BALLS – PYROMIDE

I must admit that I was somewhat suspicious when Temple Balls' new album showed up in my mailbox. Why? Well, first of all the name - Temple Balls. I mean, really? Secondly, they're a young band looking like it ...

THE TREATMENT – WAITING FOR GOOD LUCK

I have a file in my head which I refer to as "almost there" or "close but no cigar" where I put bands and artists I necessarily don't dislike but I might not go head over heels over either. British rockers The ...

Re: INFINITE & DIVINE – SILVER LINING

You have to hand it to Frontiers - they are damn good at finding and promoting new artists. New bands are always needed to make sure the scene doesn't die. That being said, in the last couple of years it feels ...

Re: CHEAP TRICK – IN ANOTHER WORLD

I don't know about you but I'm a sucker for veteran bands/artists that refuses to sit idle and only go out for the occasional greatest hits tour to secure their pension fonds. I love to hear new music by old ba...

Re: THE END MACHINE – PHASE2

A Dokken reunion has probably not been closer than it is today as all members seem to be on speaking terms. In fact, they did a reunion and recorded a new song and video back in 2018 called "Just Another Day" a...

Re: SWEET OBLIVION Feat. GEOFF TATE – RELENTLESS

Back in 2019 some dude at Frontiers got it in his head that it was time for ex - Queensrÿche singer Geoff Tate to go back to his roots and record an album we fans had wanted him to do for ages now. Said and don...

Re: ADRIAN SMITH / RICHIE KOTZEN – SMITH/KOTZEN

Here's an odd collaboration if there ever was one. Who in a million years would have thought that these two gentlemen would team up and make a record. Not me. When the news was out, I was stunned - and very int...

Re: THUNDER – All The Right Noises

After no less than three reunions, it finally feels like British rockers Thunder are here to stay. The band's latest effort is the fourth since the last reunion in 2014, if you include the compilation album Ple...
