R.I.P. Jeff! Festivals cancelled: ROCK AM SEE (GER) takes a break in 2013 "lacking attractive headliners"; BURNING SEA in Croatia had to succumb to a new tax regulation; yet purchased BS-tickets can also be used to visit METALDAYS in Slowenia.

A Case Of Grenada are living proof that music with english lyrics from Germany can compete with its counterparts from England or the US with no problems. This band is awesome.

The quartet tries to make their music sound fat and forcing, but this does not really function. What begins very promising like “The Sad, the Damned, the Dead” ends ... more/mehr
