METAL CITY ROCKERS

German metal band Licence announce new video  LICENCE that’s Heavy Rock – Female Fronted at its best. The band from Ludwigsburg/Germany is the brainchild of local guitar hero and songwriter Steam Thiess. In May 2014 he founded LICENCE and was looking for musicians who'd fit into the band. To find the singer was easy, his daughter Jacky had just what he was looking for! With an amazing presence and rocking voice the first piece to the puzzle was solved. With bassist Pappe and drummer Sammy Sin they recruited the two perfect missing links.  They soon played shows with bands like ECLIPSE, RHINO BUCKET, LEATHERWOLF, STORMWITCH, DAVID READMAN, PRAYING MANTIS, MAVERICK, MAXXWELL, TRI STATE CORNER  followed by festivals like WACKEN, FULL METAL ARMY ROCK or ROCK THE KING OPEN AIR. alongside SAXON, THE POODLES and many more. The pre-production in 2016 ended in recordings for their debut album "Licence 2 Rock", which was mixed and mastered by none other than Achim Köhler, known for...

MELIAH RAGE - KILL TO SURVIVE Available as: Deluxe 2-CD LP (180 grams, black, clear and red vinyl) Order here A forgotten classic, without a doubt... remastered! While Boston’s Meliah Rage segued into thrashier territory with the admittedly-spectacular “Solitary Solitude”, their finest moment has to be the debut “Kill to Survive”.  This record is a stone-cold heavy metal classic, fusing classic-sounding riffs with incendiary thrash intensity, epic vocals and an acrobatic, multifarious grasp of the disparate elements that contribute to the overall sound. One could say that “Kill to Survive” feels a lot like Metal Church, but there is some Metallica sprinkled in there as well amid an ephemeral smattering of Flotsam and Jetsam’s eccentricities.  A very compact listen at only seven tracks including the lengthy instrumental eponymous cut (on the original, the Japanse bonus track “Kill to Surive” is now added). For those who are Metal enough to still like: Metal Church, Metallica, F...

"The Ten Commandments” is quite possibly the greatest combination of Death and Thrash Metal ever composed. The album is full of very fast and energetic guitar work, surely how Malevolent Creation got to be known as “Slayer on acid”. They didn’t bring a whole lot of new ideas to the table, but what really separates them from the others is Bret Hoffmann’s unique and intense vocal performance. ...
