Aysenlur are a band from the Iquique-region in the far North of Chile, close to the border with Bolivia and Peru. They actually started during the second half of the Nineties, and soon they gained a huge fan-base in their home country and neighbour countries; especially live they were well visited. It took, however, until 2006 before Aysenlur self-released their official studio-recorded full length, Call To Arms. I have no idea what happened in mean time, but since then all seemed to fade in silence?...

‘Audrey Horne’ return with their new album just over a year since the highly enjoyable ‘Youngblood’. Most of the band members are also in death/black metal bands, yet Audrey Horne is more a homage to the classic rock of bands like ‘Van Halen, Thin Lizzy and Iron Maiden’.

Newest release from this American outfit, and 3th one featuring Uta Plotking on vocals. And  boy this is a great release, people into Doom/Stoner metal can’t afford not to have this Billy Anderson produced masterpiece in their collection. Mobile of angels features only 5 tracks, varying in length  from over 8 minutes to  just passing the 10 minutes marker, with  the title track being  the exception with it’s mere 3.30 minutes in length.

Ach...every once in a far too rare blue moon, some record company will come along with an almost perfect description of one of their new releases. That being the case with this Vancouver based Canadian act, I felt I could not deprive you, dear reader, of exactly those words...so here they are (adapted, in small details, to comply with our website's rules, of course)!

This Dutch/ Belgian Pop Rock act was founded in 2004 as a home recording project by core members Bouke Zoete (vocals & guitar), Sjors van der Meulen (guitar/ keyboards/ vocals) and Stijn Klaver (drums), with the intent of paying utter importance to “The Song”.

Brasil has lots to offer to the world, besides the annual carnival, Sepultura or caipirinha and this band The Black Rook is one of them.  Actually this is not what you’d call a real band, rather a two man project, consisting of Flavio Sendra, who does the lead and backing vocals on the album, and Rubens Lessa who did the guitars, bass and keyboards.  To play the drums they used a guest musician, Celo Oliveira, who also was the producer 

This sure is a strange band.  Hailing from Athens – Greece, hence the bandname maybe, they were formed in 2000, and have since extensively been touring, mostly in Greece, but they’ve also done two European tours.  Since their founding they’ve released two albums, ‘Eleven The Hard Way’ in 2008, and ‘Macho Libre’ in 2011, which means this is their third release.
