Reviewed: April 2018 Released: April 13th, 2018, M-Theory Audio Rating: 5 / 5 Reviewer: John Haseltine When I first read the press release for Sacramento, California’s Graveshadow, I automatically thought, okay, whatever.

Johan Kihlberg’s Impera – Age of Discovery
Reviewed: April 2018 Released: February 23rd, 2018 / AOR Heaven Rating: 4 / 5 Reviewer: John Haseltine Not to be confused with the actual band Impera, their founding drummer has released a solo album under the monikier Johan Kihlberg’s Impera. When this happens, it usually implies that there is a…

Clerk, Carol-Diary Of A Madman: Ozzy Osbourne
Date: April 2108 Released: 2002, Thundermouth Press Rating: 2.5/5 Reviewer: JP File this under the ‘unnecessary but fun’ book review category. While on my quest for books I came across this book about the Madman himself, Mr. Ozzy Osbourne. I’ve got more than enough books about Ozzy but it…

Speedclaw – Beast in the Mist
Reviewed: April 2018 Released: December 29th, 2017 / Shadow Kingdom Records Rating: 4 / 5 Reviewer: John Haseltine Speedclaw are an old school sounding speed metal band from Croatia. I know what you may be thinking here, yeah, another “old school” band. Well, I hear you there as I think…

Gus G. – Fearless
Reviewed: April, 2018 Released: 2017, AFM Records Rating: 3/5 Reviewer: Erich Former Ozzy guitarist Gus G is back with his fourth solo album, FEARLESS in 2018.
