Do you remember the fantastic band of SKAGARACK? For the fans of the classic 80's melodic hard rock sound, Skagarack was a favourite, no doubt 'bout that! They released three strong records in the 80's that achieved to gain the interest of many fans back then.

So, what we have here is the brand new release from hard rock icons WHITESNAKE! "Flesh & Blood" is entitled Snakes' brand new opus and it's going to be released through Frontiers Music on May 10th. After the very first spin of this new album, I have to say that Whitesnake have nailed it once again! "Flesh & Blood" includes all the best elements from the band's early works plus an updated sound and at the end sounds fresh, big and 100% Whitesnake.

REVIEW : TNT --- Encore Live in Milano (Frontiers Music s.r.l., Release: 22 March 2019)

TNT is a great band, there's no doubt 'bout that. I, personally, grew up with their albums and sound. From the epic metal debut of "TNT" (in the band's mother language) to the totally classics "Tell No Tales" (1987) and "Intuition" (1989) this band was always a synonymous to quality, melodies, the crazy guitar riffs n' solos and, of course, the amazing vocals by Tony Harnell.

REVIEW : ROUGH ROCKERS ---- SMOKE & MIRRORS (RVPrecords, 2019)

Rough Rockers is a band that started as a solo project of vocalist/bassist Peter Ljungberg and guitarist Magnus Hällström. The missing pieces of the puzzle were completed with the addition of Australian guitarist Joe Matera and Swedish drummer Roger Eriksson in 2018.

REVIEW : Come Taste the Band --- REIGNITION (AOR Heaven, Release Date :25.01.2019 )

Come Taste the Band is a Norwegian heavy rock/classic hard rock band that was founded back in 1997 by guitarist Jo Henning Kaasin and singer Vidar Heldal. The band in its early days was a Deep Purple cover band and released two CD`s with Deep Purple songs; "A Tribute To Deep Purple" in 1999 and "Live" in 2006.

REVIEW : URIAH HEEP --- Living The Dream (Frontiers Music s.r.l., 2018)

Bands such as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, DIO, Rainbow, Whitesnake and Uriah Heep are legends in the history of rock in general. These bands have grown up many generations of rockers and their songs are timeless in every serious rock fan book. 

REVIEW : Free From Sin --- II (Pride & Joy Music, July 2018)

Free From Sin is a band that made its appearance back in 2015 with its debut album entitled "Free From Sin". The feedback was positive and so this Swedish band decided to record another opus. So, nowadays and after some line-up changes, the band strikes back with album number two with the title "II".

Free From Sin consists of  Per Englund (ex-Blacksmith, vocals), Patrik Lämborg (guitars), Fredrik Strömberg (keyboards), Ulf Kronsell (bass) and Paul Ekdahl (drums) and its musical style is basically melodic hard rock/metal that refers to bands such as Rainbow, Deep Purple, Judas Priest and DIO.

The first highlight of the new album comes with the classic "Faces Of Christ". It's a very Rainbow-esque track (just check the guitar work and the vocals) but that's not a problem at all 'cause it's a really solid song all the way. More classic hard rock/metal stuff comes with "Mr. Blakk", "God Made Me Hate", "Break And Burn" (in which the Priest influences are more than obvious) and the straight forward "Borderline" (which is among my faves here). "Deceiver" is yet another fast-paced and very interesting tune out of the new album.

If you love bands such as Deep Purple, Rainbow, Judas Priest or even DIO, then you have to check out Free From Sin's newest effort. It's a damn solid record that includes all the magic of the above mentioned bands. 

Rating : 8/10

REVIEW : Jari Tiura --- King Of Lions (AOR Heaven, March 2018)

Jari Tiura is the former singer of Michael Schenker Group, current Stargazery, and he is, also, Century Lost's singer. The big step in Tiura's career came with the Finnish power metal band of Snakegod at the end of the 90´s with the release of “Invitation” in 2001. In 2004, Jari joined forces with Michael Schenker and together, as MSG, they released the album “Tales Of Rock N Roll”.

REVIEW : Sainted Sinners -- Back With A Vengeance (2018, El Puerto Records GbR)

Just one year after the release of their debut album, Sainted Sinners are back with a brand new opus which is entitled "Back With A Vengeance". The debut, "Sainted Sinners", was a damn fine record full of some classic hard rock stuff and with David Reece's voice on top form.

REVIEW : WAYWARD SONS --- Ghosts of Yet to Come (2017)

Wayward Sons is the brand new project/band of Frontiers. The band's leader is the well-known Toby Jepson of the legendary U.K. act Little Angels. Toby gathered around him a bunch of some very talented musicians and formed Wayward Sons.

REVIEW : QUIET RIOT -- Road Rage (2017, Frontiers Music s.r.l.)

Quiet Riot is without any doubt one of the most respectful bands by both hard rock and metal fans out there. Having released some classic records so far such as "Metal Health" and "Conditional Critical", Quiet Riot continue their musical journey with their brand new opus which is entitled "Road Rage".

REVIEW : Voodoo Highway– The Ordeal (2017)

Voodoo Highway is, in my humble opinion, one of the most interesting new bands out there. These hard rockers from Italy grabbed my attention since their debut record, "Broken Uncles Inn", and with their second one, "Showdown", they left a sweet taste in my ears.
