It is a shame to see the line-ups for the upcoming festivals in 2024 in Germany; the spectators have to follow the big American names and also they have to pay a lot of money for seeing them. It is a shame not to find this band on any bill for the upcoming summer. I guess Eleanore are able to write four or five high class songs as "Dunkirk", an emotional heading for dynamic peaks within the song, played by a heavy distorted bas and mighty guitars. I wait now impatiently for the upcoming next...

Lemmy once said about Hawkwind: " If you get the flutes, the sax and the jingalingaling out of Hawkwind, it´s a very heavy music." So the Astrochemists from Singapore added a kind of jingalingaling 80´s mini-synth and massive guitars and driving rhythms so it comes quite near to the classic Hawkwind sound. It is almost mind-blowing what this band offers you; heavy riffs, a driving, forward pushing beat, hypnotizing riffs and the mentioned jingalingaling-thing.

Our beloved Italian Label Go Down Records added four more shows to celebrate its 20th birthday. As you can read on the Festival Report about the Maximum Festival, the variety of bands and styles is great and great. Check the local ticket service to listen to the NWoIHM (New Wave of Italian Heavy Music).

300 spectators made noise like 3000 in this beautiful venue Sala Up-load within the poble espanyol in Barcelona. The band played almost two hours and it still wasn´t enough for the audience. It was an experience, again.

If you missed the in spring, you maybe saw them in summer and if not, go to see them in autumn. This is the actual bone grinding music business. You have to play three tours to pay the debts of your first two tours.

This is my absolute favorite post from one of our absolute favorite bands; Valley of the Sun at the Lake Wolfgang in Austria, one day before they destroyed the Backstage in Munich and four days before they blast off the roof at Rock im Wald 2022. I hope that the musical direction will remain as high as ever and I´m very curious how the rest of the band keep on rocking.

Finally.. One of my absolutely favorite bands released an album after a long break. I was really excited to read the announcement that Morne will release "Engraved with Pain" on November 3rd on Metal Blade Records. Bang!

This tour is a bit like the typical tour situation in 2023; weather the van breaks down or the transport costs are that high that you have to cancel the whole tour. So it happened with Toundra. I mean, they have to come first with all their stuff from Spain to Central Europe and travel around and get back to Spain on their own bill. I can understand their decision. Monkey3 and The Delayed travelled to Regensburg to play there and suddenly the gig there was cancelled.

I wrote about all their albums, I wrote with Matsch but until now, I never managed to see them live on stage. Nevertheless, their latest album is another small masterpiece out of Reutlingen. Check the review.
