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 – 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!!!
