ONOFF are set to Keep That Fire Burning with their new kick ass track!

March 29, 2017

  Whatever the problem is… Music is always the answer. I have been feeling quite low and sure enough, music picked me right up. Today I finally got to check out the new video from one of my favorite bands, ONOFF. The bad ass new track is Keep That Fire Burning and is the first track off their new album. Check out the new video here: It was just what I needed to lift my spirits. These guys are always invigorate with their high energy rock n roll. This track features high voltage riffs, fluid bass lines that grab your attention, powerful angsty vocals and revved up in-your-face drumming!

Concert Review: Trivium, Shvpes and SikTh – Munich. Contributed by Alex Bock

March 29, 2017

  Concert review, Trivium, Shvpes and SikTh Munich, Theaterfabrik – March 11th, 2017 It was yet another sold out show I had the pleasure to attend last Saturday. Trivium’s  final tour of Silence In The Snow made a stop in our beautiful town and the place was packed. They brought along two support bands, both from the UK. People were still pouring into the venue when Shvpes from Birmingham entered the stage. Not yet well-known around here, it didn’t take them long to warm up the crowd. Songs like ‘Skins & Bones’ or the title track of their debut album called ‘Pain, Joy, Ecstasy, Despair’ saw to that. Although a band for some years now, their first full-length record wasn’t released until last year October. Even before that though, they already opened up for bands like Bring Me The Horizon, Bullet For My Valentine, Memphis May Fire and Young Guns. They’re also no strangers to festival stages like Download Festival and Slam Dunk. For 2017 Shvpes already announced to play at Rock Am Ring, Rock Im [Read More]
