Reviews
\r\nIt’s a common secret that the line up of "Frontiers Records" includes some of the biggest and more famous bands, especially in the so-called melodic hard-rock area. As a proof of the above, I mention bands like Journey, Asia, Winger, TEN, Primal Fear or solo artists like Glenn "the voice" Hughes, Jeff Scot Soto, Russel Allen , Jorn Lande, that have already put their signature on this music genre.
One year and a half after the successful release of their latest album “Beg For It” Hardcore Superstar are back with a brand new album hotter than a chick in heat!! They have returned with a statement “Split Your Lip” and they will leave many with their lips (and not only) wide open. Those familiar with Hardcore Superstar already know that, along with their countrymen Crashdiet and Crazy Lixx, are Sweden’s greatest force when it comes to sleaze/Hard Rock.
\r\nDestrage come from Italy and about a month ago they released their second album, “The King Is Fat’N’Old”.
\r\nPsychotic death metal. This is how My Kingdom Music label describes Inallsenses’ music. This is surely not the case in Hysterical Psychosis, umless you think Helloween is too extreme for you. Let’s see through it all the same..

\r\nI wonder if Blackmore decided at last to leave new-folk/medieval serenades and he work on a genre who we’ve learnt him from Rainbow and Deep Purple namely 70’s Hard Rock, it is to be desired that for somebody who loved these previous bands. But appearances are deceptive! Because this is not about Ritchie Blackmore but Jürgen Blackmore who is son of previous by chance and it seems that he follows guitar’s steps of her father faithfully. As you see it’s typical family’s tradition.
\r\nThe term "cult" often gets misused, not to say it’s deliberately disorienting..In the case of Heretic we are being let to believe things that lack...truth! This release is a collection of songs from several 7 inch’s plus some bonus tracks. So what?

So…what should I review now? When the ultimate Metal Goddess is releasing something new words are not enough! What we have here is not a new album but the single “Breaking The Law” recorded to promote DORO’s new Anniversary DVD with the self described title “25 Years In Rock…and still going strong” with which she celebrates 25 years serving the heavy metal scene with power and pride. The way very few artists have managed. This single includes 2 songs.
\r\nΤhere is nothing more satisfactory than the surprise caused by a new coming band(even though this is their second release) and its destructive force. This "hey, I discovered them!" feeling and the following pride are enough to make you boast you like a rooster among chickens. But the music itself is braindevouring food!

\r\nIs there anyone not into Bolt Thrower? If you have already started reading this you may as well stop now because what lies ahead, an also this album, is none of your business. Yes my dear hairy friends, the beloved swedes have the balls and the attitude to play groovy death metal!
