The Sinner Rides Again 0

KK’s Priest – The Sinner Rides Again – 2023

The Sinner Rides Again pretty much continues what Sermons of the Sinner started. If you liked the first album by KK’s Priest you ought to like this one as well. I think it’s easier to recognize Judas Priest’s sound from some era on this one though. It’s something about the drumming that makes me think of Painkiller. Sure, there are fast drumming with lots of double kicks but it must be more than that. I...

Chaos Horrific 0

Cannibal Corpse – Chaos Horrific – 2023

I shouldn’t like Cannibal Corpse at all, I should like Chaos Horrific either. This music is really too extreme for me. It’s Death Metal where it’s impossible to hear a single word. It’s more a rule than an exception that I listen to such an album twice. But…I have come to learn to appreciate Cannibal Corpse. It’s brutal and Corpsegrinder has a vocalist style that makes it impossible for me to hear the lyrics. I...

Saints and Sinners 0

House of Lords – Saints and Sinners – 2022

I guess there are numerous albums by numerous bands that are named Saints and Sinners. It’s kind of a classic name for an album, a band, a book, or even a movie. In other words, low imagination when it comes to the title of the album. The music is hardrock and nothing else. At least the way I define hardrock, but the difference between rock, hardrock, hard rock, AOR, and so on seems to become...

Kiss – Kiss – 1974 – Debut Album

I have written about the debut album of Kiss in some way or form before. In fact, I’m sure that I’ve written about it multiple times before. That means I’ve also rated it before, probably higher than I’m rating it now. But as you know ratings only reflect the time when you’re rating the object. Things happen. Not to the music itself of course, but our experiences and moods change over time. But I’ll try...

Bluegrass 0

Willie Nelson – Bluegrass – 2023

I like Willie Nelson and always have. And I like bluegrass, always have. What if we combine the two elements, and make Willie Nelson perform bluegrass? Of course, the outcome would be great. What more do you really write about an album like this? Those who read about it no no doubt familiar with Willie Nelson, his special voice, and how he performs his songs. And those who like bluegrass as a genre already know...

The Wrath to Conquer all 0

Putrescence – The Wrath to Conquer all – 2022

Neither Putrescence nor The Wrath to Conquer All was something I never heard about before. I guess you should call it Death Metal but it’s not that fast or heavy. To me, it’s more like they tried a little too much to sound “dangerous”. It’s not bad by any means but the vocal kills the joy of listening to it for me. It’s way too shouty and almost Black Metal-ish. Sometimes crossing the lines to...

Make them beg for death 0

Dying Fetus – Make them Beg for Death – 2023

Make Them Beg for Death is Dying Fetus’s ninth studio album. I can’t say I ever really listened to them before though. I don’t know why really, the band is not new to me in any way and I’m sure I’ve heard them before, just not really listened. There is a difference. But I’m glad I took the time with Make The Beg for Death. I liked it. It’s not my favorite album of the...

Respawned in heavy metal 0

Blutgott – Respawned in Heavy Metal – 2023

To be honest, I never heard about Blutgott before. Obviously, I didn’t know anything about the album Respawned in Heavy Metal before either. But from the info I can gather I guess it’s a German band. It seems to me that their albums are available in two versions. One in English and one in German. I might very well be wrong here. If you know the truth to be something else please leave a comment...

Code Red 0

Primal Fear – Code Red – 2023

Once in a while, you can actually see on the album cover what kind of music it is. Code Red by Primal Fear is such an album. At least in part. I mean, you can certainly tell that it’s some kind of Heavy/Power Metal. Now, Power Metel is usually pretty fast played with raging guitar runs and superfast scales. But every band cannot be Dragonforce or Statovarious. With that said. Primal Fear, is not superfast,...

Kings of the Asylum 0

Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons – Kings of the Asylum – 2023

Kings of the Asylum is the third full-length studio album by Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons. It’s not my first time hearing them but I can’t say I have followed the career of former Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell since the demise of Motörhead. As far as I remember the album, or possibly the EP I heard before was really good and had a very recognizable sound. A sound that was logical for a long-time...

Touchdown 0

U.D.O. – Touchdown – 2023

Touchdown is the latest release by German metal band U.D.O. led by former Accept Singer Udo Dirskschneider. It feels kind of silly introducing him like that since he’s been in U.D.O. far longer than he was in Accept. But I guess he will always be associated with his old band in one way or another. Touchdown is the new album but there’s not much that sounds fresh on it. And nothing sounds old for that...

Road 0

Alice Cooper – Road – 2023

So? what to say about former Shock Rocker Alice Cooper’s new album Road? I, for one, have been very anxious to hear this album. Not because I’ve loved everything that Alice has put out in recent years. I would say that the opposite has been true but that is to stretch it a little too far. I think the last few album has been ok, but not great. But since Alice Cooper has put out...
