Released: 17.05.2019 Genre: Synthwave The synthwave scene is pretty hot at the moment. This is great because it means there's a huge number of enthusiastic producers, who release and offer a staggering selection of music every week. But this also means that, especially in case of a genre with rather strict guidelines, it's becoming increasingly … Continue reading Miles Matrix – Buena Vista Review
Released: 17.05.2019 Genre: Power metal I often run into pretentious reviews of different albums, where the critic begins with stating, "album X brings nothing new to the table, we've heard everything on here somewhere before", then shows off his musical literacy by listing where did he hear the elements of each songs, and finishes off … Continue reading Grimgotts – Dragons of the Ages Review

Little Simz - Grey Area Released: 01.03.2019 Genre: Hip hop The popularity of rap is at its peak - it's no surprise that every living human … Continue reading New releases you didn’t hear – but you should (March 2019)
Released: 22.03.2019 Directed by: Jeff Tremaine Starring: Douglas Booth, Iwan Rheon, Colson Baker, Daniel Webber After the enormous success of Bohemian Rhapsody, chances are we entered the era of music biopics in Hollywood.
