Hellacopters

THE 69 EYES' new album, "X", was released in Europe on September 28 via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD was mixed by Stefan Boman (THE HELLACOPTERS, BULLET). Regarding the album title, singer Jyrki69 said, "We've never really celebrated anything, not that we've been playing 20 years or so (vampires don't count decades). Thus this time we thought to celebrate a bit: the new album is entitled as tenth in Roman numbers, it'll be called 'X'."

Grab a bottle of beer, relax on your couch and spend some time getting rid off any frustrating thoughts; THE SCAMS is here to cast off your inhibitions with an album that smells like a Rock ‘n’ Roll fresh paint. The Sweds perform a style similar to BULLET, meaning they also incorporate AC/DC and KROKUS in their style but this time with some of the post-MOTÖRHEAD volume of THE HELLACOPTERS or Greece’s NIGHTSTALKER. It’s an amalgam of Rock n Roll with Hard Rock and street Metal, to give you an idea.

Old School Pop Punk / Knowhere Records # KRC 017CD

Ohio's own bastard sons of pop punk are back. "Sexbomb" finds the band breaking new ground while staying true to the things that made you love them in the first place. Plenty of Pop Punk, plenty of songs about girls, but there is also plenty of harder, edgier songs in the vein of the Hellacopters and Motorhead.

Sweden’s OPETH are preparing to release their most important record to date with »In Cauda Venenum«. Certainly, fans and critics will have their opinion, but few records in the Swedes’ oeuvre are as engaging, delicate, panoramic, intense, and musical as OPETH’s lucky thirteenth. Sporting a clever Travis Smith cover – replete with inside jokes and a nod to KING DIAMOND – a masterful Park Studios (The Hellacopters, Graveyard) production, OPETH’s usual five-star musicianship, and lyrics entirely in Swedish, »In Cauda Venenum« raises the bar markedly. While a record in Swedish is a first—there’s also an English version—for frontman and founding member Mikael Åkerfeldt, the 10 songs on offer feel and sound completely natural. As if years of listening to and being a fan of Swedish rock and hard rock has paid off. In a way, Opeth have come home. But the Swedish lyrics of the primary edition of »In Cauda Venenum« shouldn’t distract from the quality presented in OPETH’s new songs, the lot of which sneak up and take control after repeated listens. »In Cauda Venenum« is like that, tricky in its complicated simplicity, resourceful in its ability to charm with delightful if wistful melodies. Really, it’s just OPETH being OPETH.
