All this metalcore, extreme emo-core mania of our times kinda reminds me of the trend with grunge music in the early 90s. If you didn’t play grunge music back then no label was interested in your band. The same goes for all today’s talentless, unskilled & funny little bands which sell… Read More

It’s to wonder how the major & much heralded music magazines & webzines support, advertise & promote various bands & artists that we – the common people, the lowly digital music press – despise, loathe, mock & dislike generally. What do they see that we don’t? What do they… Read More

We welcome 2014 with our best wishes and thoughts. 2013 is already in the history books and, in truth to be told, it wasn’t so much of a great rock/metal year, at least in my book. We always have high hopes & expectations every New Year so raising the bar higher than in the past should always… Read More

We’ve been asked, quite frequently indeed, why we do not present or overlook bands & artists from a bunch of specific music labels. I think the time is right now to make things clear and close that matter once and for all.

As summer is here for good and days are getting hotter & hotter… what’s better than a cold beer along with a great rock/metal album. Listening to your beloved music while gazing at the sea and breathing the fresh air of nature is ideal… even if there’s no sea at all… “one more beer &… Read More

I remember the way promotion used to be made by all the labels about 12 years ago. They had several promo CD copies that they shared with magazines & webzines around the globe. Certainly this thing was kinda “expensive” for the indie labels but everything was done beautifully. You’ve got a… Read More
