Sometimes I dó wonder why our editor-in-chief downloads certain things for review! Sure, he's a much-occupied man, and downloading is a chore which comes atop of his daytime job and the other duties entailed with part-time band managing. But occasionally he shoùld check the enclosed info sheet which comes with the downloads! So, what he would've learned right-off, is that singer-songwriter/ pianist Avery Sunshine makes feel-good music with a Gospel-fed, thunderous voice!
Although this band has been around for some 25 years, and having so far released six studio albums, I’d never heard of them. And after listening to this new album, my opinion is still unclear. Have I missed something by not having heard of them before or not.
When I started listening to this CD, I felt as if some black hole had sucked me in, and I was taken back in time to the eighties, at the time when NWOBHM was rearing its head and becoming popular. At times you even think you’re listening to a copy of Iron Maiden.
Earlier this year we (the Concreteweb headquarters) did receive the latest full length by German Dark Metal act Eisregen, called Todestage (the album was initially released at the very end of last year, for your information).
Dutch band Dealin is ready to take the world with their fourth studio album ‘The Human Contradiction’.
The recordings of this live album date back from quite a while, to be exactly this was recorded over two days, October 2nd and 3rd 1998 at the Key Club in Hollywood – California. And to be completely honest, this album, minus two songs was already released as ‘Live At The Key Club’. So it’s easy money, if you understand what I mean.
While Cinderella still is active, I find it a pity that they release this kind of albums, instead of releasing a new album, remember their last – and it was only their fourth – studio album dates from 1994!
It has no use to go to deep into the history of Sinister, one of The Netherlands’ best known and most influential bands ever. They were formed in 1989 and joined the Nuclear Blast-roster at the beginning of the nineties. This resulted in several albums: Cross The Styx (which I think is still a cult-record), Diabolical Summoning, Hate, Bastard Saints, Aggressive Measures, Creative Killings, and Savage Or Grace.
Three years ago, the then recent addition to the ConcreteWeb family, Jeroen, reviewed this Portuguese band's third full-length album Holy Beast, not caring much for the offering...in fact, he kinda dragged it through the mud some! I'm afraid he didn't quite understand where the band comes from, and what their intentions were, or he might at least have understood what he'd been listening to, and not just slag the band down because of personal musical tastes.
