Faithful Breath – Gold ‘n’ Glory [ High Roller Records] 2020


Faithful Breath were originally founded in Bochum in 1967. The first album “Fading Beauty”, a mixture of Krautrock, Prog and Psychedelic, followed in 1974 and is now a sought-after collector’s item. Six long years later followed “Back On My Hill”. “Rock Lions” (1981) and “Hard Breath” (1983) finally paved the way for “Gold ‘N’ Glory”, which saw the light of day in 1984 on the Belgian label Mausoleum. Many consider “Gold ‘N’ Glory” the best album Faithful Breath ever recorded.

Billion Dollar Babies Battle Axe – The Complete Edition (Cherry Red Remastered) 2020, 3CD


The “solo” Alice record “Welcome to My Nightmare” had firmly separated Alice Cooper the singer from Alice Cooper the band. Rather than abandon the intended album, drummer Neal Smith, guitarist Michael Bruce and bassist Dennis Dunaway joined forces with lead guitarist Mike Marconi and Alice Cooper keyboard player Bob Dolin, and signing to Polydor records, fashioned the abandoned Alice Cooper band album into “Battle Axe”, calling themselves Billion Dollar Babies, a very deliberate nod to their previous incarnation.

Killer Be Killed – Reluctant Hero 2020


With “KILLER BE KILLED”, the successful self-titled debut album, the band entered the official album charts in 8 countries in 2014. It took no less than six and a half years until the prominent US quartet with “Reluctant Hero” finally delivered the much-awaited successor. Beside Max Cavalera (SOULFLY) and Greg Puciato (THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN), Troy Sanders (MASTODON) is also on board again and was allowed to contribute audibly more than on the first album. Only Dave Elitch (Ex-THE MARS-VOLTA) made room for Ben Koller (CONVERGE) on drums. Even though they will probably never be able to shake off the project character, what counts in the end is the result of their well-functioning collaboration, which even surpasses their brilliant debut with “Reluctant Hero”.

GrooVenoM – Mitten Ins Herz 2020


The hardest love songs ever” – that’s how the band describes their new album and hits the bull’s eye. Pushing guitar walls, racy drumming and bitterly angry nagging shouts define the album. But also soulful solos, melancholic lyrics and emotional clear vocals find their place on the album. “Mitten ins Herz” is an epic, modern metal album with influences from Core and leads the roots of the band into the modern age with new influences. “Mitten ins Herz” is the hardest and at the same time most catchy GROOVENOM album so far.
