theName – Unchained

Posted on December 22, 2013January 6, 2014by Metal-Exposure

The genre of female fronted metal/rock is a crowded place to be in. Most definitely in the Netherlands. So, each time a band in this genre brings a demo to my doorstep, the thought of: ‘another one..’ is unavoidable. Luckily, the music is sometimes powerful enough to steer you away from those thoughts. theName does […]

Promiscuity – Basic Instinct

Posted on November 12, 2013November 12, 2013by Metal-Exposure

The EP rips open with “The Beauty And The Bitch” and it presents the same line of raw material and spewing filth, and while being as basic and primitive as this kind of music can get – it’s catchy and is quite successful in maintaining a right level of interest.. Read all!

Hamferð – Evst

Posted on October 31, 2013August 31, 2014by Metal-Exposure

Hamferð, doom metal, usually not exactly first choice in music. But after seeing them perform during the Wacken Metal Battle on Wacken 2012 (which they won!!!), I gladly say YES! to their debut full-length album and was willing to welcome it with open arms. Want to know why? Click Here!

Zodiac – A Hiding Place

Posted on October 30, 2013December 18, 2013by Metal-Exposure

When I read their name “Zodiac”, I actually thought about the serial killer and therefore fast paced aggressive music. Not exactly a nobel prize winning thought. So I was kinda shocked when I found out that Zodiac was a hard rock band. Though, I was happily surprised when I first listened to A Hiding Place.Find […]

Hail Of Bullets – The Rommel Chronicles

Posted on October 13, 2013November 26, 2013by Metal-Exposure

A recipe for a good concept album requires only two things – Good music, and a good plot to go along with. Most of the bands, fail to deliver one of the two (and sometimes both), making their concept album(s), much less conceptual and interesting. Hail Of Bullets are a different story – Read about […]
