LORDS OF SALEM released new single and video!

30d43a96-4584-46b3-baf5-e383546cd3f7

When an equally rough and pally end-time bunch brushes ‚DEAD POP SEX ACTION‘ as a musical style on its skull-embroidered Rock’n’Roll flag, it’s time for a collective uproar!

And if those passionate tattoo maniacs in their ratty rags also look as seriously determined as the LORDS OF SALEM – freaking f***ing yes, then of course, you‘ve got to pump it up a whole lot louder!

In the middle of the tasteless, barren no-man’s-land of the diluted mainstream, the charismatic four-piece strikes in the scene. LORDS OF SALEM let a massively invigorating overdose of the spark spraying 80s HARD ROCK flare up out of the amplifiers!

LINE-UP:
Postel • Vocals
Holly • Guitar
Marple • Bass
Alex • Drums

Get prepared for an electrifying song come to life with a beguiling dark-occult touch! Lascivious, tongue-in-cheek songs that could not possibly be firmer, juicier and more compelling.

With the four incurably decibel-addicted LORDS OF SALEM, it’s just pure genuineness, deepest conviction and ultimately haunting reality!

The timeless L.A. sound of the conspired heap around exceptional singer Postel dances ominously rapt, but deliciously frisky on a damn stable foundation that rivets the enormously powerful formation of guitar riffs that drive straight into the bones, hellishly hot with greedy pumping power drumming.

(review) Giotopia – Trinity of Evil

Giotopia is Belgian fantasy epic metal project and they are about to release their third full length opus. Originally being brainchild spawn of one Gio Smet, this entity accumulates many prominent musicians delivering their part in the concept saga story that is this album. The album contains 11 songs of conceptual saga of heroism, war of good against evil told through many characters and vocal lines, powerful and epic guitar riffs, epic melodies and heroic metal to make your old metal heart beating faster upon listening to these songs. Keyboard, piano and atmospheric parts are also prominent in some song structures emphasizing drama and characters of this instant classic tale. I recommend that you take time and listen to the album in its entirety because it is one story, one saga and only if you listen to the whole you will understand the grandeur and epic storytelling in this music metal tale. My personal favorites are Trinity Of Evil and Princess Of Ice, but as I said, you will be wise if you listen to the whole opus. Great one!

(review) Blaze Bayley – War Within Me

I have nothing but utmost respect and love for Blaze Bayley. This man, besides creating fantastic music, two albums with Maiden and afterwards all his opus, done everything diy in his career, all the ups and downs, heartbreaks and getting ups, making him an icon and a legend larger than life. This is his new studio full length album offering 10 songs of uplifting, inimitable and epic heavy melodic metal. Blaze´s voice sounds stronger than ever and this bunch of songs are maybe best he provided in more than last ten years or maybe fifteen. Some of the lyrics are historic like great 303, some are fantasy, but best part of Blaze´s music are lyrics and songs that pick you up whenever you are shattered on the floor and feel you can´t go anymore. When depression you battle threatens to finish you off and you feel end would be your final rest. Then comes Blaze and songs like Warrior, the title track or Pull Yourself Up and you say fuck you to the world and you get up, ready to fight new battle in this never ending war called daily life. This is a superb album and hats off and much love and respect to the legend!
