For some strange reason, when I listen to Armen Martirosian I am drawn back to the first time I heard the band Enigma. It’s not that the music is the same, except that it has a nice cultural divergence that Enigma was always able to deliver. The [...]

Let me start out by saying that Eternal Essence absolutely rocks. This is so good, I have to grab my pair of Sennhiser headphones for another listen while I write. My initial impression of this band was that it was heavily influenced by Dream Theater. You [...]

This one man band, namely Guy chambers, from the UK is too much. The sound effects are eerie, the beat is hypnotic, and the overall feel is like being drug underground and left in a dark cement walled tunnel with the echoes still bouncing around in your head to prove [...]

This week I stumbled across a group named Thyateira, a curious band from Crystal Lake, Illinois. I’m going to be honest with you right up front. I have rather mixed feelings about this band (whose name I assume comes from the fourth church of the book of [...]

It is time for all my loyal readers to join me inside the fall out shelter for a special announcement. It is my pleasure to present to you the axe master from Budapest Hungary, Jonas Tamas. In the short time I’ve known about Jonas, I’ve just been [...]

Have you ever been surfing online, just looking for something a little, uhm’–out of the ordinary to take a gander at, and you accidentally find it? Well, that is what happened when I ran across the band Unexpect. Okay, let’s start with the disclaimer. Personally, this [...]

Normally, I’m used to bands like Operatika having a male singer fronting the group. Forget that! Definitely better sounding with a woman fronting the band. Seriously, you’re going to want to give the volume knob on your stereo a turn to that Spinal Tap #11 for Slava Popova’s memorable vocals. [...]

After listening to this band, you might want to talk your pastor into booking them to play at your next church function. Okay, that might be a little too much for the old blue haired folks who sleep in the back rows. The reality is that Theocracy [...]

When I first ran across the band Spiral, I half expected their music to be modeled after the Japanese anime by the same name. The dark disposition of their music would seem to suggest that they might be Blade children in disguise, but we would have to check to see [...]

Maybe this is a sign. The second band from Florida I’m reviewing in a row. Actually, I had never heard of them before, but someone sent me an email and told me to check Megaphone out. I always take my talent scout’s requests seriously, and so I dropped on to [...]
