hey everybody,

It has been a while and a lot of new items have been added to the Metalrage database. below you can find a overview of the latest articles.

Interview: HED PE 'Yeah but does she want to suck my dick' After five lonely years one of my all-time favourite bands returns to do a show in our little country, and of course I’m present. But not only that, we of Metalrage (me and Buzzin Hornet) had found a cunning way to do an interview with main man Jahred, a perfect opportunity to meet one of my heroes and smoke a joint with him! After a short introduction where a already pretty stoned Jahred explains he has a bit of throat problems we are of to an intelligent conversation. NOT! Read More...»

	Album Review: Sworn Enemy - The Beginning Of The End
	Sworn Enemy? Isn’t that a band from New York who made a semi-ok hardcore record called “As Real as It Gets”? To quote guitarist Lorenzo Antonucci: "Our last album was totally rushed. Elektra threw us into the studio. We were still writing songs while tracking. 'The Beginning o... Read More...»

 

Interview: Powervice - Maybe within ten years people will say ‘If you like Powervice than maybe you should listen to the first two records of Iron Maiden sometime’ And they could even sing the songs that are not on the demo, the ones they’ve never even heard off! In Holland it seems like it is important who you know, what your knowledge is etcetera but over there, people don’t really care. If it’s cool, they’ll support it. They hear the demo and think: ‘Well, this is nice’. I feel like over there, people support us because of who we are instead of what we believe or something. Read More...»

CD Review: Textures - Drawing Circles It’s hard not to throw some superlatives around like “Brilliant”, “Amazing”, because most of you will already know that Textures is a damn good band. “Drawing Circles” is the proof that these guys aren’t a one trick pony, and that they belong with the bands I named in my intro. Read More...»

	Album Review: Satyricon - Now, Diabolical
	If people ask me what my favourite band is, I always have to think for a moment. I know so many good bands, and I discover many more each month. But some bands are always in my list. Satyricon is one of them. I can listen to Satyricon in any mood. It gives me energy when I feel drained, it gives me ... Read More...»

	DVD Review: Type O Negative - Symphony for the devil
	Some years ago I wanted to go to a Type O Negative concert in Cologne. But when we wanted to order some tickets they told us we were about 10 minutes too late. The last tickets had been sold. Fuck man. But luckily they released a dvd. Let’s check it out.   It said it would include a live performance, 33 minutes of behind the scenes mat... Read More...»

	Album Review: Khoma - The Second Wave
	Hypes, I hate ‘m. It seems that the music business nowadays is mainly focusing on getting that one band everybody will be talking about.. Downloading occurs more often than before, giving bands the chance to promote their music. Consider Arctic Monkeys; they were seen as a stadium act even bef... Read More...»

Interview: Gorefest - Doesn't stop for a small bomb Well, the fun thing is that journalists say: ‘Normally I don’t give a damn about lyrics’, but with our work they refer to the lyrics every now and then. As long as one out of ten mentions them, I feel like I’ve accomplished my goal. Read More...»

	Album Review: Liftid - Starting Fire
	Now before I even start writing about his album, I wanna tell you that I highly respect the way the members of Liftid give themselves for their one and only passion: making music. I’d like to mention their great press-package that I got along with the album and the promo-activities Liftid does... Read More...»

 

Interview: Caliban - Not just negative emotions
Tuesday the 4th of April, I take the train to Arnhem, to the Goudvishal to be precise to have an interview with a band that I’m familiar with for a pretty long time now. At first, when I was sixteen or so their sound scared the hell out of me and I just did not want to listen to it that much. But now it seems like Caliban has changed their st... Read More...»

	Album Review: Arachnes - In Praise Of Science
	I like melodies; I welcome good production as if it was only for the fact that the music could be better reviewed. And I also like progressive metal. All ingredients should therefore be available to give the eighth releases of progressive metal band Arachnes a nice score.   However, the star... Read More...»

Interview: Insane - About Hungarian metal and more…
So when Buzzin Hornet and I were in Hendrik-Ido Ambacht to visit the Hungarian metallers from Insane, we got the opportunity to talk the their vocalist, Oszkár Knapp, right after their show. It turned out to be a nice conversation about typical Hungarian things and more…   Hey, how are you? Goddamn tired!   Only becaus... Read More...»

	Album Review: Maroon - When Worlds Collide
	When I heard Maroon was supporting Obituary on their European track I was a bit shocked. The two bands didn’t fit in the same genre, I thought! After receiving their new album ‘When Worlds Collide’ a couple of weeks back they sure surprised me and I have found the reason why they w... Read More...»
