De...Marga...

 No Cross No Crown is yet another compact and massive album, very close in intensity to that undisputed masterpiece Deliverance.

 Black Sabbath as the major reference; Sludge-Stoner of immense power. Distortion cranked up to the max to favor a guitar sound that is dark, pungent, and swampy.

No Cross No Crown marks Corrosion of Conformity's strong reunion with Pepper Keenan, delivering a compact, intense album reminiscent of their 1994 classic Deliverance. Featuring heavy sludge and stoner influences, the album maintains raw energy and powerful guitar work. Instrumental tracks add variety to the near hour-long release. This album is a fitting tribute to the late Reed Mullin and a solid effort appreciated by longtime fans. Discover the raw power and timeless intensity of Corrosion of Conformity’s No Cross No Crown—stream it now and experience a metal classic reborn.

 Disappointment, bewilderment, and embarrassment.

 Eyes Of Oblivion is too much of a showpiece; as they say in these cases, 'the mountain gave birth to a mouse.'

The Hellacopters' latest album 'Eyes Of Oblivion' disappointed with its polished, overly clean production lacking the raw edge of previous works. The reunion after 17 years fell short of fan expectations due to sterile sound and brief runtime. Despite skilled guitar work, the album feels like a showpiece rather than a genuine return. The reviewer questions the involvement of some original members and expresses skepticism about the positive critical reception. Discover why 'Eyes Of Oblivion' divides fans—read the full review and decide if The Hellacopters' comeback hits or misses.

 Grande Rock is a controversial album, in chiaroscuro.

 It starts with the agitated and incisive Action de Grace where they immediately highlight the greater influence: the Kiss.

Grande Rock marks a significant stylistic change for The Hellacopters, moving from punk'n'roll garage to hard rock and blues influences. The reviewer was initially uncertain about the shift but grew to appreciate the album's dynamic sound shaped by Nicke Andersson's direction. Key tracks show strong Kiss and Stones influences. The album earns a solid four-star rating, though it falls short of the band's best work. Discover The Hellacopters' daring hard rock evolution on Grande Rock. Listen now and experience their bold shift in sound!
