Chatting with Federico of Frozen Crown
It is a few days before the tour start together with Ad Infinitum and Blackbriar in support of Kamelot. During the first days of the tour, Frozen Crown’s new album “War Hearts” will be released. I meet Federico Mondelli, guitarist and founder of Frozen Crown for an interview. We have already scheduled it for double the time than usual and I have quite a list of topics… We are both no native English speakers, and the questions were not scripted but as spontaneous as possible,
Chatting with Sonia of Cobra Spell
As promised, here is the second interview with Cobra Spell, this time with founder and lead guitarist Sonia Anubis. Most of you might also know her from her fantastic work with Burning Witches and Crypta. We will of course talk about Cobra Spell and the album "666". But we will also touch on other, more personal topics, technical guitar topics and talk about one of our mutual favourite bands.
Chatting with Kristina of Cobra Spell
Cobra Spell just released their first full album “666”. Short after, I had the honour to interview vocalist Kris Vega and hope, you will enjoy it as much as I did.
KISS – End Of The Road
The final KISS End Of The Road tour kicked off on 31 January 2019 at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada and ended on 2 December 2023 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. So here it is, the last “Rock And Roll All Nite” and party every day. I bow down, or rather, as sung in God of Thunder, "kneel before the god of thunder and rock and roll".
Cobra Spell – 666
The whole album 666 is so 80s and certainly relies on the skills of Kris Vega on vocals and Sonia Anubis on lead guitar. Kris’ vocals are outstanding and Sonia’s guitar skills undeniable and she still is so young! Songwriting seems to be based on Sonia’s excellent taste of music and her major influences as a musician.
An Evening with Schallbrücke
Support your local scene,. Have a look at the local clubs and venues. Check out their programme. Even if the band's music is not 100% to your taste, give it a try. Go and see them for the good of your local music scene. You are the after-Covid generation and it is your duty to revive small clubs and local bands. You pay little money for a lot of music. And you never know, you might have seen the next international superstars at one of their first shows.
NanowaR Of Steel – Comedian Metal Live
I witnessed two Italian power packs. Both bands know, how to enchant the audience. The combination of Power Metal and Comedy Metal was incredible. For Frozen Crown the tour ends three days later. NanowaR Of Steel continue the second half with Tragedy as special guest. I hope to see both bands again this year, either on a festival somewhere in Europe or during another indoor show.
NanowaR Of Steel – Dislike Of False Metal –
Today we will have a listen to the fifth studio album of one of the funniest, most (un)serious and truest metal bands ever. It was released 10th of March 2023 by Napalm Records. The album is called “Dislike Of False Metal” and the band’s name is NanowaR Of Steel from Italy. Take them serious or not as metal-heads, this is totally up to you but certainly take them serious as very skilled musicians. Now no more words wasted, let’s listen to the first of ten brand new parody songs.
The New Roses – Sweet Poison
Lights go out, Timmy Rough on vocals and guitar, Dizzy Daniels on lead-guitar, Hardy Heart on badass Bass and drummer Urban Berz leave the backstage area, grab their guitars and drum sticks and The New Roses enter the stage at their "Heimspiel" at Schlachthof Wiesbaden during their Sweet Poison tour 2022.
