Okay, I get it – we write the Year of the Lord 2014, and this AC/DC record is so old it should already have turned to dust. Along with everything else that lived back then.

But you know what?

RockmusicRaider - Arven - Black is the Colour - Album Cover

Hahaaa! Rock’n’Roll!! Hand and fingers in the air! The newest album Black is the Colour of the German band Arven takes off furiously fast. Nothing of the subdued style left anymore that somehow plagued their debut album Music of Light.
