Dawn of disease are a melodic death metal band from Osnabrück in the Lower Saxony region of Germany who are currently signed to Napalm who with each release (napalm) seem to be growing in strength and reach. With a label… Continue Reading →
The Vision Bleak are unique, both musically and visually. They are an all encompassing experience that the band have been crafting and honing for many years. But it has now been over a decade since that Deathship and its crew… Continue Reading →
I have to admit, this has been pre ordered for a while from an online retailer and to get to review in advance is the icing on the cake. Vulture are from Germany, and pay old school speed/thrash, very much… Continue Reading →
Rock Im Revier is a relative newcomer to the European festival scene which some people say is overcrowded and at times, I do have to agree with them. You only have to look at how many festivals have folded recently… Continue Reading →
