With AVATARIUM, Doom legend Leif Edling (Candlemass, Krux) has built up a fantastic new band where tough lava riffs meet seventies Hammond sounds. But above all, the incredible Jennie-Ann Smith is enthroned, whose gripping blues voice (Janis Joplin sends her regards!) gives you goose bumps. (Review: eclipsed 10/2015)

CASPIAN "Dust And Disquiet"

12. October 2015

With the album "Waking Season" in 2012 Caspian set out to catch up to the top of New Artrock. The sextet from Massachusetts had succeeded in making a recording that was widely praised. A relatively quick successor, using the momentum of success, would certainly have been opportune. However, the death of bassist and Caspian co-founder Chris Friedrich intervened. The band has come to terms with the loss and presents itself stronger than ever.
