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! 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.
The Siberian Jay music video "I´m Holding" featuring Mikko Sirén from Apocalyptica on drums - we reported about the videoshoot in our "1h with" Special - can be watched here: http://youtu.be/C-hSNurZVcs
Well what´s that about... except the band name this CD has nothing to smile about. Most boring Electro-Pop that might be sort of a very soft Nine Inch Nails-version during its few highlights, but overall it just causes yawning. And about half of the songs are even without vocals which doesn´t improve a thing. No thanks. ... more/mehr

Doedskvad

Seven pure tracks of evil joined by special guests Nattefrost (Carpathian Forest), Nordavind (ex-Carpathian ... more/mehr

Tagtraum
Wir Gehen Um Zu Bleiben
A pity that this double-package audio and video is released because the band quits... the live-recordings of Tagtraum (either only CD or as DVD with some extras) during three days in December 2005 present a very likeable act that succeeds in creating a personal, private atmosphere although the club is fully packed. Musically a Grönemeyer-Die ... more/mehr

Taint
The Ruin of Nová Roma
TAINT, a trio from Wales, demonstrates how a cool mix of Punk and Stoner Rock has to be. Good riffs combined with short but fresh soli and aggressive but diversified vocals. A good example is the up-tempo "Drunken Marksman". The production is good, too, but finally TAINT cannot really convince me. Too many songs are midtempo which ... more/mehr

Bury The Lies
Basically the album Bury The Lies by those five Swedes had been published a while ago in their home country and was crowned with Platin. The album and the single „Curly Sue“ went up to the top position in the Swedish charts. The ballad „Curly Sue“ was staying on top of the national radio charts and turned out to be the most-played ... more/mehr
