Holy Grail – Ride The Void – Album Review

Thursday, January 31, 2013

I know how much you all like to do sums, so let’s open with a spot of mathematics. First of all, let’s consider Deep Purple’s famous 1972 hit single ‘Smoke On The Water’. In the first 8 seconds there are precisely 12 distinct notes played. This is an average of exactly 1.5 notes per second, [...]

Sabaton – Carolus Rex – Album Review

Monday, June 4, 2012

I was first exposed to Sabaton in 2010 at the Sonisphere Festival on Knebworth’s hallowed grounds. I was up early and went to see Sabaton opening the main stage. The crowd was huge and I thought I was in for something special. The rest is history, I’ve been a fan ever since. I was lucky [...]

On the radio, the DJ debuts a song…with clean guitars, soaring vocals and [...]
