Well, this is maybe not that strange, but maybe an easy way into my journey… I think that we’ll start in the late 80s, with Sator from Borlänge, a middle-sized town in the lower part of middle Sweden. In my opinion, there’s never been a Read More …

Weird Swedish Music: Intro – The start of a journey!
I’m about to start a story. A story of strange and sometimes weird Swedish music, that in a way is the story of how Peps become Peps from MetalPeps and ThePepsRocker. And it’s also a lesson in the history of rock/punk/metal in Sweden. But mostly Read More …
Review: The Quireboys – White Trash Blues
Been listening to the album for quite some time now, and if I got it right, it’s an album of covers? But that doesn’t really matter. I have a very long, but forgotten, relationship with The Quireboys, all the way back to 1990 and the Read More …

Review: Skallbank – Grav Efter Grav
First of all, this EP is in Swedish… 🙂 Skallbank, yet another of this amazing bands coming from this small town Karlstad in Sweden. But with a sound that is really hard to put a label on. This is the first EP from the band, Read More …
Review: Knogjärn – Marscherar & Förstör
It’s been a long cold winter for me right now! Most metal-shit coming out right now, well it doesnt get me in the right place. For the moment there are very few “high-five-moments”. Most metal isn’t for me (maybe I’m getting old…) But thankfully the Read More …

My name is Luke Appleton, I play bass in Iced Earth!
About a month ago, I went to see a show with the amazing Blaze Bayley, and as a special guest he served us with Luke Appleton, the bass player of Iced Earth! And I was lucky enough to get a short interview with Luke after Read More …
CD-review: Angelwings – The Edge Of Innocence
ANGELWINGS, a new band from Gibraltar with their debut-album “The Edge Of Innocence“. Musically we’re moving around in the same neighborhood as Nightwish and Within Temptation and so on. I especially think of the early years of Within Temptation, but maybe a bit more progressive. Read More …
Review: Iced Earth – Incorruptible
Last Friday, Iced Earth released their new album “Incorruptible“. It’s the 3rd album with Stu Block on vocals, and the 3rd album that started with the Dystopia-era. The album Dystopia is for me a new start with Iced Earth. That album took a stand, and Read More …
Live review: Blaze Bayley at the Garage – Strängnäs, Sweden
It’s a very special feeling going to a show with a former Iron Maiden singer. And doing so in a small town like Strängnäs with about 30 000 inhabitants gives a really special feeling. You know that it will be a really small place, with about Read More …
Live review: Bonafide, Warner Drive och BADiTUDES! Royal in Eskilstuna
I started the evening with being way too early at Royal. But in my defense, it said 7pm in the invitation. I was all alone there for quite some time. It also turned out that there were not that many tickets sold for the evening, Read More …
