Mindwork

From Prague comes a very nice Progressive Rock/ Metal act (with additional elements), formed in 2006 by singer/ guitarist Martin Schuster (formerly of Arawn and currently also a member of Pessimist), bassist Adam Palma, and drummer Filip Kittnar (formerly of Hell, he also bashes the drums in the band Lammoth).

Evil Invaders

Evil Invader’s music is built upon the structures of 80s speed/thrash and fans of bands like Savage Grace, Agent Steel, Razor, Exciter and Jaguar will want to give this one a spin.. The disc spins off with “Victim of sacrifice” a pounding riff-monster played in 80's nwobhm/thrash tradition, rolling on gripping repetition leads and a double-bass drummed drive. If you like this track, you’ll surely also love the rest of the album.

Daniel Trigger

London Planetarium, 1989 : a young fellow from the Midlands (in other words, do not confuse with the Russian Death Metal band Trigger, who released a full-length debut entitled Apocalypse Tomorrow on NitroAtmosphericum Records in 2012) by the name of Daniel Trigger attends a laser show at the, where Europe's “The Final Countdown” is used as a musical backdrop for the show.

Codasync

With this new release, Antwerp region's Codasync delivers its 5th album in just as many years, and again manages to do something different while at the same time remaining within their specific niche of instrumental (modern) Progressive Jam Rock/ Metal.

Anne Soldaat

Weird name for a man, but just to make things quite clear : Anne Soldaat is a person of the male persuasion, and a Dutch guitarist and singer/ songwriter of some repute to boot!

Tombstone Highway

Tombstone Highway’s  latest is worth checking out, but not really a life and death purchase. Not now, but who knows what the future hold? The record is an assorted musical melding pot with ample amounts of hard-, southern- and 70’s rock and chugging metal all rolled into one.

Scarlet Violet

Formed in 2005, Scarlet Violet is a metal band with its home base in Milan, Italy. After two realeases under US-based label Sliptrick Records (debut album "Animated Freaks" and EP "Roll The Dice") and extensive touring throughout North-Eastern Europe and Japan, the band has released their second full-lenght "Everlusting".

Nightbitch

Night Bitch is the Connecticut based occult heavy metal band featuring Hour of 13 guitarist Ryan Adams and Hour of 13 live session members Phil Swanson, Chris Taylor (drums) and Mark Eles (bass). In 2010 they already released a 5-track EP Sex & Magik and now they’re back with a three track EP.

Milking The Goatmachine

I did have the goated honour to review Milking The Goatmachine’s former releases Back From The Goats, Seven… A Dinner For One, and Clockwork Udder (see this wonderful site’s archive section in case you do goatly care), and now our pretty website’s boss grants me with this crazy combo’s newest play, Stallzeit. Time to go to bed, dear goats, but not without those sweet lullabies during bedtime-porridge!

La-Ventura

I have to admit: I’ve never been a ‘fan’ of this Dutch band. Holland is known for its huge so-called ‘female fronted’ scene, i.e. Gothic, Symphonic or Epic oriented (Heavy) Metal with a female singer, and more than once this country exceeds the international colleagues / competitors easily. In many cases, the Netherlands indeed are spectacular country (I won’t start enlist a selection of bands, because whatever…), but La-Ventura did never please my ear drums or grey cells at all (cf. a full length and an EP during the first decennium of this century).
