Jayler is a new band from the UK and seems to be the British answer to a band like Greta Van Fleet. Who, in turn, drew their inspiration from a band like Led Zeppelin. It’s no different with Jayler, though here we’re dealing with a group of young men who are all around 20 years…
Crashdïet from Sweden are back with their 7th brand new album called ‘’Art Of Chaos’’.

None of the original band members from 2000 are in…
Last Thursday [Hemelvaartdag], the moment had finally arrived. Raven was in popodium Nieuwe Nor Heerlen to make up for their September 2025 show.

And then there is album no. 17 from trash legends Megadeth. Or should I write Mr. Dave Mustaine, because he is, of course, the driving force and mastermind behind this band.
