Deafslow did a good job to warm up the audience; distorted bass sound with a lot of fuzzy guitars playing in the style of Fu Manchu, Kyuss, spiced with two excellent voices. In fact, there was nothing new, but the music went straight, without surprising the audience and was good to bang your head. The sound-man did a great job for them and the band sounded really good on stage and for the audience. With a bit more experience, this band is a good choice for the upcoming summer festivals. A...

A promising single by Swedish rockers Möuth. That´s the way I like it, I could listen to it förever (Thank you Lem!) A quite Rock´n Roll-based piece of kick-ass with decent Stoner and Grunge sound, always pushing forward. It´s not that difficult to write these kind of songs which are to less played on stage. This is a band and a style you join on a festival and you leave with a smile. A fantastic appetizer for the upcoming album.

During my puberty around 1980 and 1982, I looked for alternatives to my parents and I found them in numerous Heavy Metal bands, or rather in their lyrics. "Make it real" by the Scorpions, "Antisocial" and "Préfabriqué" by Trust, "Confessions" by Trance and "Live to win" by Motörhead guided me until today and will do it until the end of my life. My secret wishes were expressed not only by "Rock'n Roll Outlaw" by Rose Tattoo, but also by the song "Running free" by Iron Maiden. Paul Di'Anno's...

And again: alternative culture in Germany takes place thanks to clubs and cultural associations. Thanks to the non-profit status and some financial compensation, numerous festivals in Germany come about in the first place. This is also the case in Karlsruhe, where PsyKa not only organizes festivals and concerts, but also acts as a label for numerous underground bands. This year's PsyKa Festival offers an interesting cross-section of the underground of the underground, mixed with established...

From its beginnings in the Munich club Feierwerk in 2013, Keep it low has grown to a size that makes organizers, bands and the audience happy. There are enough parking areas and hotels around the Backstage; for most of the bands the Backstage was the biggest location on their ongoing or terminating tour. The Munich Backstage, with its three venues "Werk", "Halle" and "Club", together with the adjoining outdoor area with beer garden and bars, is the perfect size for concerts and cozy chilling....

1000mods have slowly grown up and can now draw on a larger music library than on their previous albums. The guitars are no longer tuned so low, Dani's voice has probably found a new inspiration from Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins). In general, this album is the Greek version of Smashing Pumpkins' work "Mellon Cllie and the Infinite Sadness", as the band presents a much larger range of musical styles that don't really fit together. That's what makes this album so exciting. The almost 8-minute...

The song "Magna Mater" made me cry because of its beauty and perfect composition. I was absolutely overwhelmed by the multi-layered instrumental tracks, the fantastic voices - be it the choirs or the lead vocals - and the images that appeared before my eyes as I listened. That's why I set "Primordial" as the tag, because their song "Stolen Years" with its pure beauty and epic melancholy brought tears of joy to my eyes at the beauty of the music, both then and now. I added Paradise Lost due...

Press releases are always interesting; if they are very long, then the music is usually not interesting and if the author of the text searches in vain for the right words, then the music is interesting. This is what happened with the Danish band "Dying Hydra" and their latest single "Grasping Stone". Sludge means in this case the slowness of the song and the growls. So much for melodic sludge which was mentioned in the press text; there are so many different styles in this song, be it doom, a...

The Australian band "Black Aleph" performs music that should be saved for special moments. It is not background music for everyday things, but for special feelings that intuitively call for this band. I look out of the window here in Munich and there is an autumnal gray veil over colorful leaves, the smell of the last apples and pears are in the air and all these different aspects of autumn are carried on the spheres that this band produces. Personally, I find the video too colorful for this...
