From the first listen of JIBE and its single WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN TO FILM we think of Warrior Soul but listening more closely we realize that this American band, very rock in heart, has a personality and a Universe of its own. Moreover, we can see with the new album EPIC TALES OF HUMAN NATURE released on June 9th. Clip to discover here!

Legendary progressive metal act Fates Warning celebrated the 30th anniversary of their third album, “Awaken the Guardian,” in 2016. The album was to become their final release to feature vocalist John Arch. That era’s lineup was rounded out by bassist Joe DiBiase, drummer Steve Zimmerman, along with current guitarist Frank Aresti and, of course, Jim Matheos.

“Hard Rock in the verses, AOR in the choruses, progressive rock in the instrumental sections, a somewhat simplistic way in trying to describe Wonderland. The best example of this is perhaps the epic “ballad turns into hard rock turns into progressive rock”-song, In Too Deep with it´s wonderful guitar- and synthsolos. 8 out of 10!”

Mammoth have produced a spectacular hard rock album, using raw production, aggressive instrumentation, and great songwriting. Opening track “Mount The Mountain” has a fantastic guitar line and a solid chorus.
“Spellbound” blew me away with its grinding beat and well developed lines. The rhythm is similar to Monster Truck‘s brilliant 2016 offering “Don’t Tell Me How to Live” but with way more flourish. Check out the video below. “Hole In The Head” and “Procrastination” to a large extent, are American Dog. “Wild And Dead” is also pure sleaze, in the style of

Lyon, France dark dreamweavers Les Discrets return with “Prédateurs”, their first full-length album in five years. Ever-evolving, the sound of Les Discrets in 2017 takes a stylistic shift which sees the band’s dreamy shoegaze and metallic tinged post-rock turn into dark indie rock with electronic chill while incorporating inspiration from trip-hop and 70’s film soundtracks.

The title and cover photo come from my Rutgers University senior yearbook photo. My young nieces and nephews found it at my mom’s house and starting texting me how funny it was and when I saw it again after so many years, I agreed! I majored in communication, so it was just a matter of adding the “Breakdown” to it which is obviously, something you never want to happen in comedy.

2017 release from the hard rockers. Twenty years after seizing power in Austin, Texas, rock-roll battering squad Broken Teeth throw it’s hardest punch ever after signing with Megadeth bassist David Ellefson and former Corporate Punishment President Thom Hazaert at their powerhouse EMP Label Group.

“I’ve had my eyes and ears on Broken Teeth for a few years now and have a history with singer Jason McMaster,” Ellefson said. “It was only a matter of time until I found a way to partner with them. Given their reputation as a crushing live act, along with their previous string of classic
