We ze Germans pay high taxes for all sorts of nonsense, while Norwegians pay taxes for Olympic champions, advances in sports and technology, prosperity, and education. The latter, like in Sweden, includes a basic musical education, and thus Norwegians also pay taxes for bands like Kvelertak, Slomosa, Spidergawd, and Draken. All these bands tour, thrill audiences, and pay taxes for other bands and social achievements. All these bands have managed to become their own brand. Draken achieve this...

I actually hate the sound of a piano because it lacks midrange frequencies and the sound is thin despite the instrument's immense weight. It actually makes me aggressive, except for Elton John's "Song for Guy." The Belgian band "We Stood Like King" uses the piano as the lead vocalist, much like Brian Johnson of AC/DC is the saxophone in a blues-rock band. And you know what? This damn piano plays such beautiful melodies within this sometimes brutal sound, which, in my opinion, will be far too...

Atomic Yeti come from Saskatoon, a city located in the heart of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. I looked up the local climate on Wikipedia and found the following information in the German version: "The average temperature in Saskatoon is -17°C in January and 19°C in July. Summers are severely arid, with frequent periods without rain. Saskatoon is considered sunnier than other Canadian cities, boasting an average of 2,380 hours of sunshine per year, excluding showers. Extremely high...

As you can tell from the tags, the Lyon-based band is all about power, fun, and rock 'n' roll, combined with drinks, BBQs, and parties. The title track of the new album pushes relentlessly forward with a powerful production and a brilliant balance between grooving and rock, making you want to hear the full album. Their previous album, "Monster Truck," is a staple on our playlists, whether it's Stoner, Best of, or Road Trips, because the band knows how to roll down everything in their path with...

This band was suggested to me by my search settings on Bandcamp, and after just 20 seconds, it was clear to me that this band, and especially the song "Shipwrecker," was the daily peak. Everything is just right: the tempo, the groove, the riffing, the voice that conjures up an incredible vocal line. It's bad enough that we have to wait until September 5th for this gem to ship. Until then, I guess I'll have to listen to one of my new favorite songs every day. The heaviness combined with...

Quintana is the solo project of Dusty Donley – guitarist of Mississippi Bones – and Eternity is his second full-length release under this name. It’s one of those albums that doesn’t scream for attention but earns it, track by track. From the start, Eternity brings thick riffs, heavy grooves, and a grunge feeling that stays throughout the whole record. The first track, “Timeless”, opens with a strong guitar and drums combo – direct, punchy, and without any extra fluff. You know...

When Scandinavian bands sing in their native language, whatever music they're playing takes on a slightly sinister, dark aftertaste. It was different with Abba, where the songs sung in Swedish sounded like children's songs, even though they were about heartbreak, separation and betrayal. "Pakten" is an irresistible banger in terms of style, but because the individual syllables of Swedish don't quite fit the beats, this song takes on a very individual direction. You feel like you're trapped in...

1000mods have slowly grown up and can now draw on a larger music library than on their previous albums. The guitars are no longer tuned so low, Dani's voice has probably found a new inspiration from Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins). In general, this album is the Greek version of Smashing Pumpkins' work "Mellon Cllie and the Infinite Sadness", as the band presents a much larger range of musical styles that don't really fit together. That's what makes this album so exciting. The almost 8-minute...

Okay, we are making an acoustic Molotov cocktail here. Take the "F**k you"-attitude of Nick Olivieri, the cripping voice of John Garcia, a hardcore punk sound, and a drummer with the pedal to the metal. Yes, could be one of the best forward rocking record of this year. Actually, it´s not that difficult; 4 steps down tuned guitars, a bit of hardcore breaks and oriented by the faster Kyuss-songs like "Green Machine", "100°" and others. The first three songs ("Dogs reunited", "Knockin´on...
