New studio album by Blackmore’s Night (Ritchie Blackmore, Candice Night). Heavier, smoother and without doubt one of their best albums to date. Cut to Amazon review … Individuality and true musical greatness are marked by an artist who follows his own intuition, without being influenced by other people’s expectations; Ritchie Blackmore’s integrity may occasionally seem [...]
Eurovision is looming once again, but this year thanks to Finland and Lordi, it promises to be quite an experience. And one that may well unsettle some of the godlier viewers throughout Europe. The way this is going, in a few years time, perhaps the Eurovision Song Contest will even be a respectable institution. It [...]
A secretive group calling themselves Limozeenz has claimed responsibility for last year’s spree of thefts in the indie music community. Apparently they are activist music critics who prefer “guerilla” methods to verbally berating the bands. Regardless of the veracity of the article, it’s a pretty damn timely idea that falls well within the current global [...]
I haven’t recommended a new album in quite some time, but Axxis’s latest Paradise In Flames is one that just blew me away. Especially so considering I didn’t have a single album of theirs and as far as I can recall never heard a single one of their songs. It’s not often one trips over [...]

Old news by now, nevertheless interesting. First and foremost because singer/wongwriter Loreena McKennitt is an artist that I admire very much and second because this case introduces a very delicate problem of free speech vs. personal privacy. At least taken at face value. Reading the court ruling, it is clear that Niema Ash went a [...]
“End Of An Era.” This certainly came out of the blue. Not that I’ve been following them that closely but still. You’d think it would be revealed in a less abrupt manner. Hard to know what to make of this. Tarja apparently got a letter handed to her, a letter that was later released to [...]
Blackmore’s Night announces new album. BLACKMORE’S NIGHT, the band featuring former DEEP PURPLE/RAINBOW guitarist Ritchie Blackmore and his fiancée Candice Night, have set “Village Lanterne” as the title of their new album, tentatively due in early 2006 via SPV Records. A single, “I’ll Be There (Just Call My Name)”, will precede the album on September [...]
Finally something interesting on the metal scene. And melodic metal from Stratovarius no less. Stratovarius was reunited earlier this year with the classic line-up. This is their 15th album if I’m not mistaken, a self-titled creation that propels Stratovarius to new heights after a weak couple of years. It sure warms the heart as dusk [...]
