Interview with Gabriele J. Palermo from tragedian  “I told the guys, look, this could be our pyromania, but the next one has to be our Hysteria" With almost the entire band now entrenched in Germany ,tragedian is setting its sights on world domination. The release of their third album is upon us. The production and over all feel of this album is unparalleled. It is a nonstop power metal masterpiece.  I talked with Palermo about his plans, the album, and life in one of Germany's upcoming metal acts. What was your mind set going into this recording? “I told the guys, look this could be our pyromania, but the next one has to be our Hysteria. Except we can’t take five years for the next one. Originally it was supposed to be a concept album but we came up with only three songs for a subject. Not enough for a full concept. I said to Alex, let’s make a horror movie translated into music. Which is what we did.  Each song is a story.” The song wi...

  PRIMAL FEAR is one of those metal bands that never fails to deliver.             So I was a little wary of the live album format. Often bands will forge ahead and release a few key performances. Most times the sessions fall flat of the studio releases. Some bands just cannot capture that energy in a bottle from a live show.  PRIMAL FEAR is not one of those bands. They are consistent and in some cases even better on the live stage than the recordings.       Hands down this is one powerful live band. The energy, the emotion, the crowd participation, it is all here in the latest release from PRIMAL FEAR. You will feel like you have a front row seat to all the metal mayhem and atmosphere of a perfect metal performance.The production value is unmatched.  This is one live album that lives up to all its expectations.Pickup, “ANGELS OF MERCY – LIVE IN GERMANY” out now. 9/10 wolf h...

     Submitted for your metal approval. TRAGEDIAN, UNHOLY DIVINE   The Devil Calls You ….Kicking off the third installment of TRAGEDIAN'S brand of German power metal is a song worthy of the Gods. Full shred speed ahead on this one. Vocals are on point as the band tears through this epic power metal masterpiece. This is the band to watch from Germany in 2018 and beyond. Tracks like Dullahan and Revelation continue with the blitzkrieg assault of inescapable sonic perfection. Revelation has a distinctive Dragonforce feel. Over the Edge features a cameo solo by none other than master HELLOWEEN guitarist, KAI HANSEN (Gamma Ray). The song sounds like it belongs on a classic HELLOWEEN album. No joke it is that good.  One of the stand out tracks on the album. Flyaway and Shadow of the Moon are also memorable songs. The lead on Shadow of the Moon is by far one of Gabriel's best. Pure prolific power meets perfection. Spectres and Chasing a Dream ...

Interview Ron Freschi Babylon A.d./ Syrym "We are discussing  recording a new album" Back in the day when MTV actually played music videos, Babylon A.D. was one of the best hard rock bands to tear across the television screen. The songs were filled with sex and life and just a pure rock and roll sense that few bands actually capture. Their  melodic brand of style was soon eclipsed by grunge and the fickle whims of the recordin...

If you thought they could not return to that first album sound then you are sadly mistaken. These songs sound a lot like they belong on that first album.
