Review – Mystery Blue “Conquer The World”

Mal schauen ob hier der CD- Titel weise Voraussicht oder reiner Übermut ist...denn die Welt mit Musik zu erobern ist ein heeres Ziel! Ok, Fachanalyse Phase 1: Auspacken...Hellyeah, was für ein Cover!! Hier springt das Metalerherz im Viereck! Jobert Mello zauberte ein sagenhaftes powermetalgenretypisches (!) Cover aus dem Photoshop-Ärmel!

Phase 2: Infosheet lesen...aufgenommen im Black Solaris Studio vom "Producer of death" Uwe Lulis!! Das lässt auf Gitarren, Gitarren und Gitarren hoffen!

Phase 3: Yeah!!!! Gitarren!!!

Review – Furyon “Gravitas”

Als alter Fan des NWoBHM bin ich natürlich immer gespannt was heutzutage von der Insel her hier rüber schwimmt. Heute ist es ein Silberling einer jungen aufstrebenden Band die ursprünglich als Quintett starteten. Nach aktuellem Blick auf die HP haben sich die Mannen auf 4 Köpfe reduziert.

Review – Ashes You Leave “The Cure For Happiness”

Was bleibt außer Staub von uns noch übrig wenn unsere Tage gezählt sind? Hier ist diese Frage Programm zur Stilistik dieser mir vorliegenden CD. Nicht ohne Grund beschäftigt sich das Sextett aus Kroatien mit solch schwermütigen und melancholischen Themen...gegründet mitten in den Kriegswirren des Balkankonfliktes in den 90er, dreht sich natürlich alles im Kopf um Leid, Angst, Schmerz, Gewalt und doch auch Hoffnung! Und genau das ist der Schwerpunkt im musikalischen Leitfaden der Combo.

Doomigen Gothic Metal in seiner reinsten Art zelebrieren die Mannen um Frontfrau Giada.
