RockmusicRaider Review - Hibria - Hibria - Album Cover

Someone is knocking on Heavy Metal’s door! Big time. And who is brandishing these fucking pipes? ‘Tis must come from Ronnie James Dio, but this dear friend and companion met the other side for a while now. 

It is Iuri Sanson of the Brazilian Power and Heavy Metal band Hibria. With their self-titled 2015 amazingly rocky album, no less. The RMR deck crew really fancy their powerful and – I daresay – old-style approach to metal. Kind of showing the Great Old Ones of Heavy Metal where the new masters are.

I really like the drum work provided by Eduardo Baldo. Complex structures galore, as … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider Review - Denigrate - Hollowpoint - Album Cover

Soft music playing and a voice goes: In times past there lived a king and queen of the Ancient Metal Kingdom who said to each other every day of their lives: “If only we had a metal child!”.

And yet, they had none. One day, the queen was bathing and an ugly frog with a Motörhead tattoo came out of the water, leered at her, and said drooling: “Thy wish shall be fulfilled. If you kiss and cuddle me, oh succulent one, thou shalt witness my transformation and get a child.”

She did, and SMACK BOOM there it was. Denigrate from Finland just reincarnated … [...] Click to raid more!

Obsession is the last album of what is commonly called the Schenker years in the UFO discography. Michael Schenker enjoyed a relatively short, but intense career for his first stint with UFO, starting with Phenomenon in 1974 and ending it – from a standpoint of studio album releases – with Obsession in 1978.

He for sure put his stamp on UFO and all that stuff they were able to produce in this relatively short time frame. Schenker actually returned to the fold in 1993 for a short time – many years later.

And you know what? They did it again. Obsession is again different from … [...] Click to raid more!

Aha! It is possible after all! Phil Mogg kicking it up a notch in UFO‘s 4th studio album Force It.

And I love it.

Mogg‘s delivery as a vocalist on the last album Phenomenon was okay, but not really exciting. And here we get to hear a new spiced-up version, basically a new version of Phil.

So, it looks like the Force It album cover seemingly with two teenagers having a go at themselves in the most complicated bathroom of the world is an omen, too. With leering bathroom appliances no less – the lechers.

By the way, the US cover used a ghost … [...] Click to raid more!
