Eufory power/heavy modernists released the lyric video for ‘Afterglow’, the third single from the upcoming album. The track once again reveals the incredible spectrum of genres covered by the five-piece sometimes referred to as the ‘Slovak Helloween’ on their third record.

This almost six hundred pages behemoth was a pleasure to read at most times, although there are couple of to me boring themes in there through couple of chapters. As the title says, the book revolves around alleged death of metal due to grunge explosion early in the nineties, which was not true at all and it is explained in this book why that’s not true and I totally agree with that. There is an interesting divide of parts in this book, like a live show of some sorts, parts being: Load In, Soundcheck, Opener, Headliner, Encore, After Party and Load Out. Something that every musician knows about if he toured and played live gigs. Foreword is written by none other than Rex Brown, bass player of legendary Pantera. The concept of chapters is that metal, let’s call them celebrities namely for example Phil Anselmo, Joe Elliot, Devin Townsend, Dez Fafara, Dani Filth, Kirk Windstein, John Christ and many others talk about nu metal, industrial metal, vocalists leaving legendary bands and returning back, their own albums and how they were conceived in idea and recording and there are lots of anecdotes in this book, like in great documentary movie which is what makes me love this book. But, there are also couple of too long chapters like on prog metal or nu metal that are not my personal tastes so it was quite boring for me to read them, but I did it. So, this is good book full of information and anecdotes especially for us who grew up with these bands and albums in the nineties.

Lüger are hailing from Montreal, Canada and are not to be confused with Croatian punk band with the same name. This band is active since 2013 and this is their second full length opus containing 10 songs. This band is a perfect soundtrack to post apocalypse Mad Max remnants of humanity when only most bloodthirsty and most devious roam this planet and raise Hell, drink and smoke, then raise some Hell again and do some occult rites on the night of full moon. Music is a mixture of Motorhead punk induced mayhem, occult doom metal and melodic metal with anthemic epic choruses like awesome ‘Black Acid’, more biker rock oriented as in ‘Motorcity Hellcats’, There are couple of longer songs here, but the do not get boring as some similar bands that lean more on stoner sometimes tend to be. These guys mean business, they will tie your body to a bike, drag your ass through the wasteland and laugh about it later during dinner over roast coyote. My personal favorites on this one: ‘The Sacred Skull’, ‘Filthy Streets’ and ‘Bloodmoon’. Good album.
