Reviews
I am delighted that Thessaloniki "turns" bands. I am even more delighted, cause those bands compose and produce greak music. Until Rain belong to that category and I am about to review their first album The reign of dreams. The band is progressive, capable to charm the fans of Savatage, Shadow Gallery, Dream Theater and Fates Warning.
\r\nAt Vance once more are following the same musical way that we all know, and they give us a new album which may not have surprises but it is superb! Those who are fans of the group know what they should expect. It’s a fact that when Hartmann was behind the microphone, their name was much more glorious, yet that doesn’t necessarily mean something for the present of the band as it’s all a matter of timing and, of course, of a matter of what fans prefer the most.

\r\nTIM AND AHHHNOLD ARE BACK!!!\r\n \r\n
\r\nAustrian Death Machine are back with their second album with more tribute songs to Arnold Schwarzenegger that will make you go headbanging,moshing and for sure are going to make you laugh.The band is a side project of mr Tim Lambesis , frontman of As I Lay Dying , that wanted to do a Metal project that will have Arnold as the main idea of the band.-Austrian Death Machine- are playing a mix of Thrash/Death/Hardcore/Metal and has released only one full length album.\r\n
\r\nSeems that some of the bands that were on top back in the 80’s are now going through a period of great inspiration, something that could easily be described as a state of “second youth”. After Megadeth’s awesome “Endgame” , is W.A.S.P.’s turn to simply blow our brains out! After the exceptional “Dominator” of 2007 Blackie Lawless and his gang strikes back with an album that would make even the most criticizing of their fans, reconsider. “Babylon” could be easily characterized as a W.A.S.P.
I don’t know Where Angels Fall, all I know is that they exist and that they walk among us waiting for us to give them the chance (those of us who can see them) to change our lives. Maybe even now, this very moment that these lines are coming to life, one of them might be standing next to me…who can tell? “Marionettes” is an album that is worth listening.
\r\nI think that many of you out there miss the warm summer night under the moonlight near a beautiful beach as the soft wind touches your face and the sound of the waves becomes the ideal soundtrack. Are we there yet? Well, all I kept thinking while listening to “Cartesian Dreams” was moments such as these.
Unfortunately, I am not able to hide this huge love of mine for this Swedish Doom metal outfit, that after 13 years is back on action with a new album and trust me, they do sound like the time never left its marks on them, despite the fact that the only remaining member of the Count is Dan Fodelius , the unquestionable leader of the band, that joined forces with Fredrik Jansson (Bass) of the retro doomesters, Witchcraft and Jens Bock of Doomsday Gouvernment on drums to release this opus.
\r\nI don’t know why but to my mind, the name “Dead Man’s Rose” is associated with some old spaghetti western films and for that reason I was prepared to listen to a band related to the music of Fields of the Nephilim ( if you take a look at the extraordinary image of Carl Mc Coy you’ll know what I mean). Anyway things turned out to be completely different.
