These days, five years without a new album are enough to consider a reunion tour. Miles Away – from Perth, Australia – never broke up though. It did take them some time to overcome the difficulties of one band member moving to Berlin and produce a record the entire band was proud of. Their 2005 … Continue reading
Legends Arising already introduced Teethgrinder in an interview (which you can read here), so I’m just gonna take the precious space provided here to talk about the great debut album of these guys: Misanthropy.

Formed in Mesa, Arizona around 2011, five-piece hardcore band The Beautiful Ones have slowly been paving their way since then. They released several EP’s and demos, and it took them three years after Birth of Desire, their last material released in 2012 on 6131 records, to finally unleash Jaded Love, their first full-length.

Swedish straight edge band Anchor released its third full length Distance & Devotion on Bengans this month, a year and a half after they started recording the album. I was waiting in anticipation as I’m a big fan of The Quiet Dance (2008) and Discovery (2011). Anchor itself claims the album is a 11-track hard and heavy rock … Continue reading

After a symphonic intro that reminds … Continue reading
