This is the second part of my little review series: Movies that are way better than you expect. "Steel trap" seems at first sight to be another ordinary psychological thriller or slasher movie in the shadows of the great "The cube", "Mind Hunters" and...
It is not always easy to be an Edguy fan. After the incredible masterpiece "Hellfire club", they deliver us a cheesy but addicting pop song and this EP with a really horrible cover artwork. Many metal heads laughed about it and pointed at the fans and...
Mesdames et Messieurs, Voici quelques impressions de mon tour au Luxembourg aujourd'hui avec un peu de musique du coin. Um Fiels do steht se an stolzer Pracht A geheit hieren Schiet iwwer Bierg an Dall De Wopen démonstréiert hier Macht An hieren Numm...
It has been quite a while ago since I have witnessed such a great movie in the cinemas. This is easily the best American movie since Martin Scorsese's "Shutter Island". "The Grey" has so many memorable and touching scenes, an incredible and authentic...
Can you disscciate an artist from his art? This is a very difficult question. It's up to each individual to answer it. Jari Mäenpää is at constant war with his label, tries to lure fans into spending an exaggerated amount of money to support his megalomaniac...
I lately discovered this female fronted Symphonic Metal band from Belgium because I read about it in a forum. The main difference between this group and the average Nightwish or Within Temptation clone is that singer Ann van Rooy has a lot of power in...
Verehrte Leserinnen und Leser! Kurz vor meiner Rückkehr nach Kanada gibt es hier noch ein wenig deutsches Liedgut auf die Ohren, mit dem am vergangenen Samstag Leverkusen von meinen Freunden und mir beschallt wurde. Viel Spaß damit und ein Hoch auf gute...
Even though this album has not yet the intensity and consistence of the amazing milestone "The perpetual motion", this first album was already a big hint and showed us what would await us two years later. "The nameless disease" has a very intellectual,...
Fourteenth episode: We are like the dreamer / The Return, Part XIV Content: Frank informs Gordon that pages found from Laura’s diary suggest the existence of two Coopers. Albert tells Tammy about the first Blue Rose case. Diane identifies Janey-E as her...
Elvenking's first strike is already amongst the best works this band has ever done and shows a degree of diversity and fresh ideas that many other bands of the genre don't have any more. The band mixes folk influences with majestic power metal sounds...
Atomic Blonde is a stylish action-thriller set in the final weeks of the Cold War in the quirky town of Berlin. The movie has its flaws in the first third but gets progressively better and really grabs the viewer's attention by the end. Those who liked...
Swedish speed metal quartet Enforcer decided to shift its sound from speed metal to play a mixture of commercially appealing heavy metal, melodic hard rock and catchy glam rock. Simplistic sing-along opener ''Die for Metal'' recalls Scorpions in its most...
Ladies and gentlemen! Today, I have completed my epic ice hockey weekend by assisting the home opener of the Ottawa 67's against the Peterborough Petes. The game was very intense and enjoyable to watch despite a tough 3:2 loss by the home team. The crowd...
Andarushia is a very interesting Japanese suspense or conspiracy movie. It convinces with a bunch of solid actors and actresses, a couple of exotic locations and a twisted story. The whole mixture gets a special something with an intense atmosphere reminding...
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets isn't only the best novel of the franchise but also the best movie along with the first entry Harry Potter and the Philospher's Stone. The story revolves around a mysterious dangerous presence at Hogwarts that paralyzes...

Unbeing are a quite unknown completely instrumental progressive metal band from Montreal. I discovered their debut record by pure coincidence. It was sold by a lable during a black metal show. Let's note that this music has nothing at all to do with extreme...
On this album, Edguy goes back from their power metal hymns and almost does a completely hard rock album. Annoying kitsch glam rock like “Rocket ride”, Bon Jovi ballads like “Save me” or disco rock with keyboard experiments like “Matrix” or “wimps and...
Almost three years after the original concert, a new Edguy live album has finally come out. This is the first negative point already. Of course, they haven't yet played songs from the actual studio album because of the delay, but that's not the only point...

Mono Inc. is a German gothic rock band that is more successful than ever in its twentieth year of existence. Its career reminds a little bit of Unheilig, a band that emerged from the Gothic underground scene and achieved massive commercial success which...
If you have seen conspiracy flicks like "Enemy Of The State", "The Bourne Identity", "XIII", "Unknown" and so on and so forth, you really won't be surprised by this movie. The story presents nothing new and is about the usual stereotypes: the good one...
Menteur, internationally known as Compulsuve Liar, is a highly entertaining comedy movie featuring many famous actors and comedians from Quebec. The story revolves around compulsive liar Simon whose lies become reality one day and teach him that facing...
This second album of The Dogma uses less symphonic elements than the debut and adds some hard rock notes to the band's dark and symphonical Power Metal sound. Those new sounds work very well and have a fresh attitude. The powerful and yet diversified...
Everything the fans liked about the German folk rock pioneers Subway to Sally has gone with this album. There are no more creative and traditional lyrics. The amazing violins and pipers are almost inaudible on this record. There are no positive, catchy...
