REVIEW : Firewind, Firewind (AFM Records Release: 15 May 2020)

So, what we have here is the brand new album from melodic metal masters FIREWIND. For those who don't know Firewind, allow me to say that this band has an already long time career and it's held by guitarist Gus G (Ozzy, solo). With many great releases so far, Firewind achieved to build a strong reputation around their name and played in many great shows and, also, shared the stage with many big bands.

REVIEW : Bonfire, Fistful Of Fire (AFM Records, April 03, 2020 )

Back in 2017 the legendary German melodic hard rock/metal band of BONFIRE introduced us their new singer Alexx Stahl. "Byte The Bullet" was a solid record that stood proud besides the band's previous recordings. Nowadays and after a succesful tour (I had the privilege to see their fantastic show in Greece...) BONFIRE strikes back with a new opus. "Fistful Of Fire" is going to be released through AFM Records in April.

REVIEW : BADD KHARMA , ON FIRE (ROAR! ROCK OF ANGELS RECORDS, 2020)

The Greek melodic hard rock/AOR and Metal scene in general is a fast grown scene over the recent years. With many great bands that jumped out of nowhere and delivered amazing records the Greek scene has nothing to be jealous of from 'traditional' countries such as Sweden, UK, Germany e.t.c., that's a fact. The latest 'discovery' is BADD KHARMA  that with its debut opus "On Fire" comes to kick some serious asses.

Biography:

Silvernite is a band for all the 80's retro lovers! Three musicians decided to let loose their inner kids and travel to another spacetime. They put together their passion for old-school synths, double lead guitars, melodic vocal lines, comics, walkmans, cassettes, roller skating, big sunglasses, Rocky Balboa, fancy clothes, bubble gum and red lipstick!
Our music ranges from melodic 80's-style rock to synthwave with strong characteristics from soundtrack music.

REVIEW : Dynazty, The Dark Delight (AFM Records, Release: 3 April 2020)

Melodic metal giants DYNAZTY are back with their brand new opus entitled "The Dark Delight". The new record is going to be released through AFM Records on April the 3rd. Originally born back in 2008, Dynazty achieved to build a strong reputation around its name through the years. With amazing and powerful albums such as "Titanic Mass", "Renatus" or the more anthemic "Sultans Of Sin" Dynazty is considered one of the leaders of its kind of today's melodic metal scene.

REVIEW : ONE DESIRE, Midnight Empire (Frontiers Music s.r.l., Release: 10 April 2020)

It was 2017 when a new band called One Desire made its appearance and blew up my speakers and my mind with its amazing debut opus.  Nowadays, One Desire strikes back with album number two with the title "Midnight Empire" that is going to be released through Frontiers Music in April 10th.. 

REVIEW : HAREM SCAREM, Change The World (Frontiers Music s.r.l., Release: 6 March 2020)

One of my all time favorite bands, Harem Scarem, strikes back with a brand new record that's going to be released on March through Frontiers Music. The new opus is entitled "Change The World" and is yet another highlight that stands equally besides the band's classic discography.

REVIEW : DeVicious, Phase Three (Metalapolis Release: 17 April 2020)

Album number three for the melodic hard rockers De Vicious and, in my humble opinion, their best to-date. I know that sometimes when someone says 'their best album to-date...' sounds a bit cliche but if you are going to check out "Phase Three", then you'll understand me.

REVIEW : H.E.A.T. , II (Gain, 2020)

Sweden's sentational melodic hard rock/AOR kings H.E.A.T. are back with their brand new opus entitled "II". After the rather 'different' "Into The Great Uknown", H.E.A.T. strike back in their well-known music paths of their previous recordings. In my jumble opinion ,"II" is the one of the band's, and probably, best records to-date!!
