Darkthrone

Gylve ‘Fenriz’ Nagell and Ted ‘Nocturno Culto’ Skjellum return with album # 666, and what strikes me as from the very first moment: six songs only for a total duration of forty two minutes. Why not?...

The Underground Resistance was recorded in two years and is the most logical Darkthrone record seen their permanent progression. Everything is Old School, yet the variety is enormous. However, this band’s characterising trademarks are present in every single detail.

Aeon Zen

Aeon Zen with this album ‘Enigma’ are on their third release.  Mastermind behind Aeon Zen  is multi-talented, multi- instrumental Rich Hinks, whom not only wrote all the songs, but also did the mixing and the production, as well as playing some of the instruments, and to top it of did some of the vocals as well.

Big Engine

Neither of the few sources giving out the info, I am quite uncertain as to when this Jacksonville (Florida!, not Arkansas, North Carolina, or Texas) based quartet (consisting of lead singer/ guitarist Tony Minkus, lead guitarist Hans Oellerich, bassist Ryan Wilcox and drummer Benny Pucket) first got together to play their Country and Southern flavoured Classic Hard Rock tunes...but their MySpace page was opened on Jan. 30, 2006, so many that's a good indicator?

Pink Cream 69

Fans had to wait for six years, before Pink Cream 69 finally releases a brand new studio album, but I will immediately unveil the secret, it’s been worth the wait.  With Dennis Ward Being very active as a producer, and on top of that being lead vocalist for Khymera it’s no wonder it took them that long.

Punchline

Punchline was, or rather is, a well hidden treasure, consisting of Thomas Franke (ex U.D.O.) and Jôrg Juraschek (Warrant) who over a lengthy period of time concocted these 11 songs (+ intro). As third band member Matthias Zimmer (Perzonal War) on guitars was integrated into the band.

The Last Vegas

Despite their name, this band does not originate from the Sin City, but have their roots in Chicago, and this is their first full-length album recorded in their native town.  The band was formed in 2005, and some time later Môtley Crûe bassist Nikki Six grew interested in them, and gave them the opportunity to release an album on his own label.

Title Fight

Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania has always been the breeding ground for many hardcore punk bands. Just think of Cold World, Stick Together, Dead End Path and many others. After some European tours, an American tour supporting Rise Against and countless shows across the American nation, Title Fight released their third full-length, called Floral Green.

YoungBlood

To say it’s almost a miracle this record was ever released, is not far from the truth.Youngblood signed a deal with Sony/Epic Entertainment in 1989.  They spent 9 months, recording 45 tracks, 16 of which were chosen to figure on their debut album.  But due to the musical climate changing, the record went on the shelf, and eventually, the band itself broke up.

Ivory Moon

Rome based septet Ivory Moon was founded in the year 2000 with the intent to create a band unique in concept, as it would not be prefixed onto one specific Metal style.
