Whitesnake – The Purple Album Frontiers Records (May 2015) Reviewer – Stephen Brophy There has been an awful lot of chatter about this release for the last couple of months. Yes this is Whitesnake doing an album of Deep Purple songs, the initial idea to work with Jon Lord never came to pass, but as […]

Review: Crystal Ball – LifeRider
Crystal Ball – LifeRider Massacre Records (May 2015) Reviewer: Dan Mann I must hold my hand up from the start and say I’ve been a long time fan of the band. Can’t believe it’s been 16 years since their debut ‘In The Beginning’ was released. But putting that aside I approached this new release with […]
Review: HRH AOR 3
HRH AOR 3 (12-14 Mar 2015) Reviewer: Peter Scallan Photographer: Stephen Brophy Day 0 Hard Rock Hell AOR has grown as an event since its launch in 2013 at the Magna Centre in Rotherham. I thought this venue was excellent but it caused a lot of logistical problems for organisers Chic Talent. Therefore, last year […]
Review: Joe Bonamassa London Hammersmith Apollo

Bonfire have a new vocalist in the shape and form of David […]
Review: Serpentine – Circle of Knives
Serpentine – Circle Of Knives AOR Heaven (April 2015) Reviewer: Dan Mann Serpentine are back with a brand new album, Circle Of Knives, their third release. There have been two changes to the band’s line up with original bassist Gareth Vanstone and vocalist Matt Black having left the band. Taking the reigns vocally is ex-Tidal […]
Review: Eden’s Curse – Live with the Curse
Eden’s Curse – Live with the Curse AFM Records (Feb 2015) Reviewer: Peter Scallan Eden’s Curse have been around for some nine years and released four studio albums very much in the melodic metal vein. Driven by Paul Logue from Scotland as main songwriter, the band has been mainly a studio project with occasional live […]
Review: H.E.A.T – Live in London
H.E.A.T – Live in London Ear Music (Feb 2015) Reviewer: Peter Scallan In melodic rock/AOR terms H.E.A.T should need no introduction as they are constantly appearing on festival bills, clubs and theatres all over the place. If you are into this genre of music and you haven’t heard them, where have you been hiding? After […]
