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.

With „Calling“ the DONOTS get off to a dream start into their new record „The Long Way Home“. It´s one of those songs that simply sticks to your brain and won´t leave you alone for a long time thanks to its pretty cool chorus.

Doomriders
Black Thunder
Imagine that Entombed would bone an old-fashioned rockcombo unprotected, the result would be a nasty rocking bastard. Doomriders from Boston are such a bastard. During 13 songs there is fine dooming Death’n’Roll offered which reminds one in songs like “Ride Or Die” very badly of Crowbar. Anyway the New Orleans influence cannot be ... more/mehr
