Rammstein - Rosenrot

2005-12-07 / Selene / Reads: 12125

No one probably expected of Rammstein to release another LP so quickly. The reason for this though is really simple. Already during the "Reise Reise" period, the tracks for a new record were ready, so it was logical for the band to work on them to put out a second...

Cabaret - Electric Chair Song

2005-12-06 / Selene / Reads: 7545

Cabaret is, unlike some might think, a Polish formation. Their adventure with music started in 1997, however, as they themselves say, the year 2000 should be taken for their starting point. It hasn't been much said about Cabaret since then : someone once mentioned them, someone knew something, still they...

Bete Noire - Omen

"Omen" is the first quasi-official publishing of Bete Noire - the band from Wrocław.

I like such debuts. Though the Italian band Dope Stars Inc. started its career with the EP, it's the new debut album “Neuromance” that should be treated as the first brave step towards fame. And I must admit that it's the step you would make wearing at least New Rocks...

Harvest Rain - Songs of Evening

I have never been a fan of Neofolk, even in its dark variant. Ordo Rosario Equilibrio, Sol Invictus and Death In June are well known. Their songs are peaceful, acoustic, with small electronica intrusions here and there. Such music can be heard in my speakers from time to time, so...
