Sad news: The music world mourns the loss of Ray Manzarek (74), founding Member and keyboarder of The Doors, White Zombie drummer Phil Buerstatte (44) and Uriah Heep bassist Trevor Bolder (63). R.I.P.!
German Hardrockers BERSERKER will donate 18.000€ to the Berlin cancer charity for children on May 25. November 2011 BERSERKER front man Schröder was diagnosed with cancer, now he is cancer-free. In 2012 the band collected money for this charity at their concerts and will also continue to do so in the future. Slayer´s Jeff Hanneman is dead: he passed away at about 11AM on May 2nd near his Southern California home because of liver failure due to an infection after a spider bite. R.I.P. Jeff!

The American FACES OF MARCH give us with „Confessions“ cantilevered, modern Mainstream- Rock. The band is geared to the melancholic atmosphere of DIE HAPPY but they often get into monotony.

What you get to hear from the first notes on, sounds very promising and it, luckily, stays that way throughout the whole album. Faithsedge is the name of this new outfit, which can be filed under hard rock/progressive. On offer is some profound music and a singer who you could listen to for an eternity. With a very pleasant voice ... more/mehr
