RockmusicRaider Review - Temperance - Of Jupiter and Moons - Album Cover

The Italian band Temperance and the Rockmusicraider crew crossed paths a few times over the years. The offerings on the menu never quite made it to the blog, though. But with their 2018 record Of Jupiter and Moons things started to change.

A new level of power, juice, and refinement is in the air that was not quite there before. And indeed, changes were made.

Michele Guaitoli (Kaledon, Overtures) joined the band in 2017. Together with Alessia Scolletti, who was active with Guaitoli on a variety of projects and whose belting powers continue to impress me. … [...] Click to raid more!

Howdy fans and friends!

It is again time to halt our march towards the lands of rock and metal. To summarize what happened over the last few months. And at first, we thought that the selection of materials for Tome VIII of the Intermittent Digest was kind of meager.

But not so. To the contrary, we have material galore and it is high time to follow up on the Tome VII edition and to describe what got under the deck crew’s skin at the world-famous RockmusicRaider office suite. As always, Tome VIII is not a top ten, but a slice … [...] Click to raid more!

Even if I just could not really get warm with this particular record in general. The yodeling and aimless speed crimes were just too bad.

This is the reason why their newest album Apex from 2017 kept on sitting neatly in the review queue. Now, as we just waded into disaster with another unrelated record, we thought to just go ahead and create some additional anxiety. … [...] Click to raid more!

RockmusicRaider Review - Dream Evil - The House of Heavy Metal - Album Cover

Now I finally know where Ms. Slayes of Unleash The Archers got the famous metal scream from on Time Stands Still at the beginning of Test The Metal. Dream Evil invented it first.

On their 3rd full-length album The Book of Heavy Metal that escaped into nature back in 2004. And they had the crunch it takes to produce some crystal clear and steely metal back then that – in all its somewhat cheesy splendor – will still please the fan crowd of today. 

Given their somewhat Dio-esque soaring style, I always wondered if the band name had anything to do with it. And sure … [...] Click to raid more!
