location: Balingen /Messegelände / Germany date: 12.07.2018 It was day one of the new Bang Your Head!!! festival. The jubilee edition, the twentieth in a row. Old friends in the old spot. Everything pretty much the same. Everything stays…

Day one of the jubilee twentieth Bang Your Head!!! festival mostly rang out in hard rock tones. The high point came courtesy of the day's headliners, Sweden's Europe, but before them Black Diamonds, Burning Witches, Reckless Love, Eclipse,…

"Vincent Damon Furnier, as Alice Cooper's real name goes, turns a round seventy next February, and he remains the guarantee of everything a good rock'n'roll spectacle demands."

On November 27, 2017, we caught the one-of-a-kind director of rock'n'roll chillers and horrors, the indestructible rock excellence that is Alice Cooper, in Vienna. His stop in the Austrian capital was all the more special because legendary…

Where »Bag of Bones« leaned a bit more toward the bluesy side, the more musical »War of Kings« was Europe's stepping stone to the latest »Walk the Earth«, one of the darkest, gloomiest records of the band's entire career.

Day two of Pivo in cvetje, with its lineup and performances, surely let nobody down.

»War of Kings« shows off the band's wealth of experience, and with the new album Europe hold on to the career credibility built by the string of solid studio efforts from their first era. »Bag of Bones« put the band back on that track, and…

The second day of Bang Your Head!!! 2014, closed out by the indestructible kings of glam metal Twisted Sister.

"Foreigner, Europe and FM are bands that each have their own path and identity, and every one of them managed to add its own little piece to the mosaic of yet another unforgettable concert experience tonight."

The old music cats led by Foreigner took a sold-out Hammersmith Apollo in London straight back to the eighties, when the charts belonged to the rock tradition of melodic brilliance.

A love letter to the home crowd and to the giants who shaped rock 'n' roll. A document bursting with all the grandeur and power of the one and only Europe! A whopping 28 tracks made it onto this release, which celebrates the 30th…

"Hi-Rock turned out to be an ill-fated project, with a calamity and a state of emergency from massive flooding adding their share"

HiRock Festival! When the wet dreams of AOR fanatics come true and a catastrophic flood washes away an entire festival day, taking Toto, Survivor, Rick Springfield and FM with it. Half the turnout, half the festival. But we got out with our…

"Though each of the night's headliners came from a completely different school of rock, every one of them managed to carry the crowd off into a trance that only regular gig-goers know and that's impossible to put into plain words. So by the…

End of July rolled around, and with it came a new edition of the Rock of Ages festival, which has been bringing together fans of classic-flavored rock under one roof since 2006. Day one was headlined by Swedish hard rockers Europe, Irish…

»Bag Of Bones« is the album on which Europe reaffirmed themselves. The mediocrity of the previous three releases is forgotten, and »Bag Of Bones« delivers, already in the first half of this year, one of the year's…

The third album since Swedish hard rockers Europe reunited brings nothing new. The songs rehash an old-school songwriting template, with a punk-production accent that doesn't befit a name as big as Europe!

The old venue where the work gods always smile on us journalists, the Orpheum in Graz, got a visit this time from Europe, the comeback kings, who I think I can now call legendary. It was right after the soundcheck. I dutifully followed the…

Exactly two years have passed since their big comeback with the album “Start From The Dark”, and now Europe are back with their upcoming record, which will officially see the light of day on the Old Continent on 27.10.2006. This time…

I had a quick chat with singer Joey Tempest and drummer Ian Haughland before their Vienna show in November 2004, right as the album Start from the dark came out. First up, they talked about their fans: "Things are great, unbelievable.…
