They are a band with a legacy that is quite unlike any other. A legacy that is best summed up … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Motörhead – Louder Than Noise… Live in Berlin

AC/DC meets AEROSMITH were my first thoughts when listening to their debut album This Might Hurt.

But I'll rarely go for the genre itself. There have been bands that have held my fascination before and I'm sure there will … Continue reading ALBUM REVIEW: Cannibal Corpse – Violence Unimagined
