FEATURED

  • Glitter Magic “Bad For Health”

    Despite having “Glitter” in their name, these guys from Brazil don’t play 70s glam rock, they’re more into modern heavy metal. Think of Zakk Wylde kind of guitars (sometimes almost nu-metal) and vocals sometimes reminding of WEDNESDAY 13 and TESLA (“Living On Addiction”, “Loveproof”…) A song such as “The Dreamers Disease’ also shows more 80s Read more

  • Fuel From Hell “Easier Said Than Done”

    Despite the bio saying that this album is a must have for MÖTLEY CRÜE/POISON/QUIREBOYS fans, what we have here sounds more like DOKKEN/GREAT WHITE/GOTTHARD/ WHITE LION or other melodic hard rock acts.

They like their powerful guitar riffs and melodic vocals, reminding of the famous New Wave of British Heavy Metal at times. The band also sometimes get close to a band like GOTTHARD for instance, and Read more

  • Dumbell “Electrifying Tales”

    Honestly, I’ve been a bit sick of all those “action rock” kind of bands these last years. I mean, there’s been so many of those airy guys in MOTÖRHEAD shirts playing the same fast songs over and over again… Luckily you’ll still find a couple of bands standing out in that style, and DUMBELL is Read more
