RockmusicRaider - Old n Tasty - Old Rock and Metal of all kinds

Did you know that RockmusicRaider covered many old(er) Rock and Metal records over time? No? We did. And will continue – as time allows – to add more to this specific endeavour.

And to top all this, whilst all of the original band members … [...] Click to raid more!

Lion's Share - Another Desire - Video

Sometimes they do wake up again after all from their endless beauty sleep. Like the proverbial mummy returning from the dead, Imhotep and all.

Black Sabbath Heaven and Hell Album Cover

At just some 40 minutes of air-time and a meager 8 tracks, with a new frontman the band just hired off The Rainbow bar on the Sunset Strip in L.A., a record really needed to be good. The classic and 9th studio album Heaven and Hell from Black Sabbath will qualify – to an extent. And yes, to an extent only. ‘Tis not all great and shiny disco lights. Not all tracks will really open heaven’s gates on this disk. But be this as it may, there definitely is improvement on this album, and this on several fronts at once. … [...] Click to raid more!
