English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    9 november 2015

Killing Joke is a post-punk band with a history that starts in 1978. I saw them for the first time on stage 20 years ago, so imagine my happiness when I was told I could review their newest album!

IAMX – AB Brussel – 7/11/2015

English:Concerten
  Van Muylem    8 november 2015

The AB in Brussels is pretty filled when the gig starts! It’s my first gig with IAMX and I see lots of familiar faces. Already from the first note it’s pretty clear that the audience loves this band and knows every word by heart!

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    7 november 2015

Grave Digger is one of my favorite old school German Metal bands from the early eighties and I’m really happy with this new reason to review them and try to give them a chance to gather more fans all over the world!

Skeptical Minds – Omega Thanatos (FYB Records)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    24 oktober 2015

Last year I reviewed their great live album and saw than on stage during one of the best festivals of that year (The Metal Female Voices Festival and yes: the live recording came from the previous edition of this same festival). They surprised me in the most positive way! Their live shows are rea...

Mauno Meesit – Closer (Grainy Records)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    25 oktober 2015

Berlin based Estonian singer, songwriter and producer Mauno Meesit is expressing himself through heartfelt songs and minimalist arrangements. Some might know him as the guy behind Sinine (his electronic music project). He won some prices over the years in Estonia. Not so long ago a Danish guy (Es...

ZOMBIE GIRL - Killer Queen (Alfa Matrix)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    18 oktober 2015

Zombie Girl is one of those artist that I know since a long time, but that I rarely review. I must say that the CD starts very strong, but after a while it becomes clear that the remixes are better than the original tracks. If I can be frankly: I even got bored after some, whilst the remixes woke...

LOVELORN DOLLS - Happy Valentine EP (Alfa Matrix)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    15 oktober 2015

‘This female fronted electro gothic rock band has everything to conquer the status of a superstar! It's not only the catchy melancholy, the perfect melodic sound, the lyrics, the artwork, the passion or the perfect vocals: no, their music is just like superglue. Once it’s dropped ...

FREAKANGEL - The Show Of Violence (Alfa Matrix)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    12 oktober 2015

Finally a live recording from one of my favourite Estonian bands! I must be honest: I have never seen them on stage, but always wanted to see them! I hope they come one day to Belgium when I’m free or they have to perform during summertime some place near to Tartu (or in Tartu) and why not ...

Diary of Dreams – Grau im Licht (Accession Records)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    11 oktober 2015

It’s time to act, time to react with these 12 songs from the 12th album of Diary of Dreams! Everyone is fighting for themselves and for their own interests only, with nobody looking at the greater scheme of things. Just as always. This is precisely the main focus of Grau im Licht, just as t...
