Swedish hard rock act Crazy Lixx are set to release their third album by the second half of April. For my good lack, I already have it in my hands so I will share my thoughts. Formed in 2002 in Malmö, Sweden they were among the first bands to emerge in what has been known ...

Hawkwind – Onward
I saw Hawkwind live sometime in the late 90s. It was in the Wolverhampton Civic Hall and it must have been all of 20 people in the audience. They came out looking like space pirates on the run, played like their lives depended on it and left us speechless. It doesn’t pay to underestimate Hawkwind. ...

Bang Tango – Pistol Whipped In The Bible Belt
They never were among my favorite acts, although I have to admit that they were far from an average band. The sad thing with Bang Tango was that despite having what needed to succeed they kinda end up in the scene a little bit to late (1987, debut album 1989). On the other hand they ...

In the case of For The Imperium their pie is tasteful,colorful and soundful while could easily be treated ...

Lord 13 – 2013
Hard rock has always been very popular in Greece. Perhaps there’s something in laid- back, groovy, heavy music that agrees with Greek sensibilities. Fuck knows. In any case, Greece has produced one of the greatest stoner rock (annoying term but it’ll do for now) bands of all time in Nightstalker and there are plenty of ...

Serpentcult – Raised by Wolves
After various line- up changes, Belgium’s Serpentcult are back as a trio with a fascinatingly idiosyncratic album. It’s not easy to describe the music of Raised by Wolves. It’s only four songs stretched to 40 minutes and the sound is stripped- down, funereal and moody. I guess you could call them doom, but these songs ...
