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.

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 […]
Review: Black Whiskey Heavy Train
Black Whiskey – Heavy Train Rocksector (Feb 2015) Reviewer: Peter Scallan Black Whiskey is a new band but packed full of seasoned musicians and openly admits they are not trying to do something new, which is refreshing in itself. There was in fact a black whisky called Loch Dhu from the 90s which is now […]
Review: FM – Heroes And Villains
FM – Heroes And Villains Frontiers (April 2015) Reviewer: Peter Scallan After a lengthy hiatus, since releasing Metropolis FM have been very busy indeed in terms of touring and recording, culminating in this latest release. Having been a long-time fan of the band and Steve Overland’s since seeing Wildlife support MSG too many years ago, […]
Review: Jimmy Barnes – Hindsight
Jimmy Barnes – Hindsight Reviewer: Dan Mann Well there is no mistaking who’s singing from the outset. Not that there was going to be any doubt on that front, with Jimmy Barnes having one of the most recognisable voices in rock. It’s staggering to think its 30 years since Jimmy left Cold Chisel. To quote […]
Review: Lucid Dreams – Lucid Dreams
Review: Lucid Dreams – Lucid Dreams Reviewer: Dan Mann Well, if someone took it upon themselves to record an album that would tick the majority of boxes on my ‘like’ list then this release comes pretty close. What Lucid Dreams have delivered is a solid block of Scandinavian rock. Hailing from Norway, the band formed […]
Review: Jesse Damon – Temptation In The Garden Of Eve
Review: Jesse Damon – Temptation In The Garden Of Eve AOR Heaven (September 27th, 2013) Reviewer: Dan Mann I was waiting for this album with much anticipation so it had a lot to live up too. With Paul Sabu on production and also bass duties for that matter, it had all the boxes ticked theoretically. […]
Review: Jon Oliva – Raise The Curtain
Review: Jon Oliva – Raise The Curtain AFM Records (June 21st 2013) Reviewer: Dan Mann I was waiting with some eagerness for this first solo album from Jon Oliva, having been a fan of his work for more years than I’d care to mention. For those of you unfamiliar with the name (shame on you) […]
Review: Moritz – SOS
Review: Moritz – SOS Harmony Factory (2013) Reviewer: Dan Mann Well I’ve finally got my hands on the much anticipated new release from British melodic rock / AOR band Moritz. The fact I’m writing this review is the first indication that I’m not disappointed. Start playing and your immediately greeted with the sort of melodic […]
Review: Pretty Maids – Motherland
Review: Pretty Maids – Motherland Frontiers Records (March 26th, 2013) Reviewer: Dan Mann I’ve been waiting ‘patiently’ for this release ever since the band announced that all the recording/mastering etc was complete. I’ve been a fan of Pretty Maids after first seeing the video for ‘Love Games’ which prompted me to buy Future World plus […]
