Judas Priest – Epitaph (2013)

Judas Priest - Epitaph (2013)

Judas Priest - Epitaph (2013) An epitaph is a short text honoring a deceased person, strictly speaking that is inscribed on their tombstone or plaque, but also used figuratively. “Epitaph” is a song composed by Glenn Tipton and performed and recorded by the British Heavy Metal band Judas Priest for their 1976 album “Sad Wings of Destiny”. It’s one of the very rare Judas Priest songs featuring Tipton playing piano and not guitar.
So, this was supposed to be kind of a farewell tour for the Metal Gods, a last effort before retirement for the Brit Heavy Metal band formed in 1969. After guitarist K.K. Downing’s retirement from the band in 2011, bassist Ian Hill is the only remaining founding member, but honestly I was quite curious about the performances of singer Rob Halford (age 61), as well how guitarist Richie Faulkner (age 33) filled in. Well, ladies and gentlemen, it’s bloody unbelievable how Halford still can scream the hell out of his lungs and Faulkner who previously played in bands such as Dirty Deeds, Voodoo Six, Ace Mafia and Lauren Harris – all lined up more on the Iron Maiden side-chain of the British Heavy Metal – are take over perfectly the role of K.K. Downing both as stage presence and guitar performance, delivering those killer guitar solos and twin-riffing. Read more Judas Priest – Epitaph (2013) ›

Mombu – Niger (2013)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Mombu Niger 2013 The creative power-duo consists of Luca T. Mai – bariton saxophone player of the band “Zu” – and Antonio Zitarelli – drummer of the famous trio “Neo” – are back with 7, new, mind-blowing tracks.
No label will stick to it, impossible to tag or forced into any fancy box, this is not metal, not jazz, but unconventional, fresh, borderless music. The real thing. Probably not suitable for everybody, but only for true, conscious listeners. This is not tasteless, instantly forgettable background noise, it demands your full attention, but worth every single second of listening.
Afro-flavoured, addictive, tribal rhythms and sometimes hypnotizing, sometimes quite contorted and aggressive saxophone lines, melodies and slaughters. At the crossroads of avant-garde jazz and driving, intense hardcore, Mombu will definitively grind you into the ground. You’re doomed! Read more Mombu – Niger (2013) ›
