Riot V – Unleash the Fire Steamhammer/SPV (Oct 2014) Reviewer: Peter Scallan Riot V is the latest incarnation of the band originally called just simply Riot.

Review: Ozone – Self Defence
Review: Ozone – Self Defence Escape (2015) Reviewer: Peter Scallan Ozone I hear you say! Who the hell are Ozone? Well let me tell you! Yes, it’s another project album which seems to be driven by none other than Mike Slamer of City Boy and Streets fame. It also features the talents of Tommy Denander. […]
Review: Onyria – Break the Silence
Review: Onyria – Break the Silence Break The Silence Studios (2015) Reviewer: Peter Scallan Onyria are a female-fronted symphonic metal band fronted by vocalist Helena (no surname?).

Review: Band Of Brothers (SE) – Band Of Brothers
Review: Band Of Brothers (SE) – Band Of Brothers Scarilla! (2015) Reviewer: Peter Scallan There wasn’t much info included with the album for reviewing, but it is safe to say that as three of the members of the band have the surname Nilsson, they may well be related. Hailing from Sweden the band is a […]

Review: The Darkness – Last of Our Kind Canary Dwarf Limited (June 2015) Reviewer: Peter Scallan Ahhh, The Darkness return for Part 2 of Part 2.

Review: Marc Vandenberg – The Four Elements (EP)
Marc Vandenberg – The Four Elements (EP) 2015 Reviewer: Peter Scallan Marc Vanderberg is completely unknown to me and after having done some research, he is still unknown to me! The only thing I can tell you about who plays on this, apart from Vanderberg himself, is that Swedish vocalist Göran Edman (ex-Malmsteen/Norum) is featured […]
Review: Magnum – Escape from the Shadow Garden Live
Review: Magnum – Escape from the Shadow Garden Live SPV (2015) Reviewer: Peter Scallan Magnum should be a band that needs no introduction in the UK and Europe.
