2011-04-22T09:00:00.003+02:00

On ‘Performocracy’, The Poodles are shamelessly exploiting their influences from the late eighties/early nineties initial wave of ‘Scandi Rock’, synonymous with big hooks, big choruses and delightful harmonies, This album has such an addictive energy that it doesn’t take long before the listener is beat in to submission.

Wisdom - Judas - [2011]

2011-04-13T15:06:00.004+02:00

Second studio album from the Hungarian band, a good album, which surprised me, and also has the collaboration of one of the greatest vocalist ever, Mats Leven (Yngwie Malmsteen, Therion, At Vance). Wisdom was formed in fall 2001 to bring back the glory days when the attitude of the musicians and the compositions were the main thing. The music contains elements combined from Heavy and Power Metal with great rhythmns and strong melodies. Today it is almost impossible to come up with new ideas but it is possible to create something extraordinary. That's what you can say the new album. !.

Eden's Curse is one of those bands that blurs the line between melodic hard rock and heavy metal, this band has found their groove and they're firing on all cylinders. The songs are impressive and entertaining, and the production, thanks to Dennis Ward, is phenomenal. Fans of all things heavy and melodic should jump on Eden's Curse's Trinity for with. The guitar work may be worth the price of the CD alone. Very recommended.

A listen is definitely required here people

2011-03-23T11:09:00.003+01:00

Golden Resurrection's Glory to My King is one of the finest representation of Scandi melodic neo-classical heavy metal. While the obvious and intentional proclamation of Jesus Christ and Christianity may put off some, Glory to My King is a genuinely entertaining example of the genre. Fans of real neo-classical guitar blended with strong and harmonious vocal arrangements, and an often heavy and blistering pace will find themselves in melodic heavy metal heaven.

Nevertheless, this is standard Erlandsson/LAD fare: nearly immaculate, persuasive, and entertaining melodic rock from a true master.

HolyHell is a female-fronted Power Metal band from the United Stated and this is their self-titled debut. The band has all the elements that you want in a band from the genre: soothing voice, good musicianship and solid songs. The band has good great players starting with their singer Maria Breon. Her voice is soothing and melodic, you'll be satisfied with her performance as long as you don't expect super high notes. The rhythm section is very good, led by Jay Rigney (bass) and Kenny Earl "Rhino" Edwards (drums, and former Manowar member). Nevertheless, to me their pair of guitarists Thomas Hess and Joey Stump are the stars of the record. Both of them contribute a lot to the songs and while the riffs are unspectacular. ¡Strong dark Album!

A great melodic hard rock record – no more no less. Perfectly produced by Mike Slamer, who adds enough bells and whistles to make it interesting and sometimes challenging to the general ethos of what a melodic rock record should sound like. However, every note on this album was written and recorded to please the fans and I believe they have done that with some outstanding songs and inspired performances. Terry Brock adds backing vocals, which give the harmonies even more depth. A brilliant album that will please just about everybody.
