Not sure if anyone has posted about her this year but I just got her CD from Frontiers and it is killer. Issa is a Norwegian female vocalist who has quite a powerful band behind her featuring Uli Kusch (Helloween, Masterplan, Gamma Ray) on drums, Nobby Noberg (Saint Deamon, Dionysus, Nation) on...

I am quite anxious to see who will grace the stage at this years Ozzfest. The festival has pulled some great surprises in the past in my opinion with the likes of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dimmu Borgir, Arch Enemy, Dragonforce, etc. basically more quality bands than your typical screamer/core...

I was reading the A-Z book on power metal yesterday at a friends house and came across two interesting tid bits I never knew before. Was wondering if you guys knew this stuff and if you had any in sight on it... After the failure that was 'Fight For The Rock', Jon Oliva fell into a heavy...

Icon vs. Icon recently conducted an interview with RATT drummer Bobby Blotzer. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below. Icon vs. Icon: What can we expect from RATT in regards to your tour plans? Blotzer: We're touring, we've got a bunch of shows going all through April and a bunch in...

What a great show! This was my third time seeing them (1st was in 2002 supporting Dio, 2nd was in 2005 headlining over Edguy) and this was by far the tightest they have sounded. New guitarist Pontus Norgren was right on the money and did not miss a lick. Joacim proved to be quite the funny...

I have been complaining for years that Bon Jovi will only play "Runaway" from the first album and absolutely nothing off the second album when they go out and tour. These are hands down two of my favorite albums ever and I have been dying to hear material from them. Looks like I am finally...

A friend and I were talking about this last night. Thinking of all the bands that are out there from the 90's up until this very day who would you say are today's heavy metal guitar heroes? Here's my top 5 list in no particular: Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom) Jeff Loomis (Nevermore) Chris...

:OMG::OMG::OMG::OMG::OMG::OMG::OMG::OMG::OMG::OMG: Picked this new platter of amazing hard rock up last week and it has not left my CD player since. This is some of the bext stuff I have heard in YEARS (along with the new Winger of course). The past three House of Lords records have been...

After just reading and replying to the Primal Fear post about poor turnouts in the US and talking about these other bands that can't fill these clubs it made me think of something I often think about and that is the media. How can this metal be so huge in Europe, Asia, Latin America, etc and so...

I always have thoughts in my head about having unlimited money and putting together the most ridiculous metal festival ever in which I have so much money I can even tell the artists what albums they can play from, etc. Let's have some fun with this... My festival would be called THE END OF...

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=125721 Wow, getting Gus was the best move Ozzy ever made. He absolutely smoked! The opening seconds of "Bark At The Moon" sent chills through my body, I have not heard that song played like that in so long...

Was listening to some new hip hop and rap songs with a buddy and when we clicked on a new Lil Wayne track titled "Sacrifice" featuring Gudda Gudda, Mack Maine, and Shanelle the first thing I noticed was I was hearing the opening to the epic "Destiny" by Stratovarius. As the rappers started to...

I was just reading through all this Ozzy and Zakk Wylde news about how Zakk is apparently going to be out of a job as far as guitarist in Ozzy goes since Ozzy feels his music is sounding too much like Black Label Society lately. I agree that the music is too much a like and I think a new...

Hey guys. I just got to my first batch of CD's I will be reviewing on MetalAsylum for 2009 and I just had to share this one with you guys as no album in a very long time has left me this breathless. I figured this would appeal to a bunch of you and wanted some feedback from others who have...

This show was completely packed! I felt like I was standing in a huge can of sardines. The band was even tighter than the last time I saw them which was October of 2006. They have truly gelled together and are just unstoppable. Skolnik looks so happy to be up there as he is dancing in place...

Power metal must be breaking through in great strides. Within the past two weeks New Jersey based rock station WDHA 105.5 have played Avantasia's "Another Angel Down" with Jorn Lande and Brainstorm's "Fire Walk With Me" on their Friday Night Metal Mania show. Yeah I know this is not regular...

How bad do some of you guys really miss albums like Bon Jovi's self titled and 7800 Degrees as well as Def Leppard's On Through The Night and High N Dry? I surely do and its rare that we get many tunes from these albums from both bands. With Bon Jovi it is not suprising to hear "Runaway" but...
