lou quinse 2013 reissue

By: Michel
Score: 7/10
Release: 26-4-2013
Label: Independent

Lou Quinse, the Francoprovencal singing folk-metalband form the north of Italy decided a while a go to rework their first demo. They remastered the songs and added a new one “Lo Pal” the occitan extreme version of the antifascist Catalan anthem by Luis Llach “L’estaca”.
This ‘re-issue’ starts with flutes in the a nice folk-classic song. The typical French folk is obvious, but it’s all done with a fierce metal taste. The medieval folk-songs remind of Saltatio Mortis a bit, but then with a different coating. Where SaMo gives it all a medieval rock taste. Lou Quinse spices it with real metal. lees verder

Finntroll Interview

Posted on 23 mei 2013
Finntroll en Dorien

Borknagar, Boney M and Blodsvept
Finally headlining their own tour again, I got the chance to talk with Mathias (Vreth) from Finntroll about lots of stuff. About Boney M, Grant and Forsyth, why humans are a plague to the planet and of course the new album Blodsvept.

After I Congratulated him with the new album, which is a masterpiece, I ask him how it is been received in the world?
Thank you. It’s funny actually because everybody has been talking so much good about it but for some reason it doesn’t show in the sales. It sold a little bit, you know we thought it would sell more than last album because that’s usually the way it goes but actually it sold quite less this time and on charts position it was also good but not the highest like last time. But still everybody that has been reviewing it or talking about it is like oh it is the best album you have done so far. Read More

An Theos – ‘Chemarea străbunilor’ (Single 2013)

Posted on 20 mei 2013
an theos chemarea strabunilor

By: Michel
Score: 8,5/10
Release: 20-4-2013
Label: Independent

An Theos may be a relatively young band, but this can’t be heard when you listen to their single. Chemarea străbunilor is the name of this début of this Romanian band.
Making music with 8 people can become a great mess if you don’t know what you’re doing, but it’s obvious these folk know what they’re doing. The intro of Chemarea străbunilor is breathtaking and has this typical Romanian style but not of the typical folk-dance kind we usually hear. lees verder
