What seemed like a coincidence turned out to be one of the best festivals of the year over the course of the day. Starting with the location on a hiking trail through the rocks and maquis at Le fare Les Oliviers, the quality of the bands, the quality of the sound and the light in the venue and the acquaintances we made during the festival.

Thanks to Bandcamp. Today a release by the Russian band "The Kollectors" came through on the Kazakh label "Red Truth Tapes". And the label releases everything that has more than 180 bpm and Marshalls or Orange Stacks turned up to 11. And so do "The Kollectors". Their album "Joyride" dates back to 2017, but is a roaring, stomping piece of hard music that blows the last needles off the Siberian larch trees. There are no fillers on the album, you start listening and then your head falls off your...

Social Media made it possible to discover this festival. I follow Asphyx due their unforgettable performance at the Hellfest 2013 and Destruction and ze German Melodic Death Metal Band Parasite Inc., which we booked 2015 for a gig together with Cripper and Loudblast in our beloved Backstage in Munich. And to receive a message, that these three bands play together on a German festival made me curious to know more about it. So i checked their homepage and the part about us. M.I.S.E. is a...

Yes! They did it again! Two months after their phenomenal debut "Demostarter" my beloved Russians Tres Perros Viejos released another EP with the same power and drive as their debut. And the band hadn´t change their unique mix of Hardcore, Sludge, Punk and Stoner Rock. The semi-acoustic track "Bob´s Dragon" doesn´t fit that well in their forward pushing wall of sound and truck engine of a record. 5/6 songs are pure killers concerning speed, power and a rage. I wish to see this band once on...

Hellfest 2014, Valley: Black Tusk destroyed the stage. Bandcamp 2024: Black Tusk blew my speakers and tore the roof down. Brushfire puts the pedal to the metal and it sounds like a freight train running through your head. Fantastic appetizer for their upcoming album on April, 24th and I´m glad to re-discover this band after their loss of Jonathan Athon in November 2014.

Ze Germans are playing together since the early 90´s and In fact, 30 years later, they captured a lot of late 80´s and early 90´s styles in their music. You will find Grunge, late Black Flag´s slow aggressive Punk, dropped tuned Stoner sounds, Sludge and a bit of a FOAD-vocals. Heard them for the first time and actually if Smoke Blow would go on tour again, Expand would fit perfectly to them. I guess, their material has to be played on stage at almost 11/10 and with a bit pitched speed on...

The Dutch band Herder and ze German Band Smoke Blow stopped releasing records and these two bands are located in the small intersection of Hardcore, Sludge, Punk, Stoner. Tres Perros Viejos managed it place themself into the leak the two bands left since almost 7 years. Tre Perros Viejos injected some Punk speed in their Sludge and merged it with a relaxed Hardcore. Yes, it´s squaring the circle and the band made a fantastic job. You can´t stop to feel like driving a highway while you are...

The period between January 1986 and October 1987 would have passed completely different without Armin Hoffmann and his massive influence in my buying of Non-Spotify-Records and seeing weekly Non-Spotify-Bands on stages in Southern Germany, mainly Black Forest. Armin Hoffman and Markus Steiger started somehow together doing their business.

It´s like putting the last 50 years of heavy music together and produce it like Metalcore, although the music lingers along a small border between Sludge, Hardcore or Doom
