RELEASE YEAR: 2026BAND URL: https://www.facebook.com/beggarsbliss

What a lovely little treat this self-titled effort by the Derby-based hard rockers Beggars Bliss is. Immediately accessible and full of meaty motifs and bluesy riffs, this disc is an effective slab of vintage rock with staying power and depth to it. The song arrangements often impress and the compositional skill on display […]

Sweet mother of lord, this is some incredibly catchy and infectious stuff, and rarely has an EP struck these ears as being so uplifting and . . . well, entertaining, really. This is just what I needed today, but we should probably discuss its musical qualities (of which there are many) in a little more depth, right?

Okay, so what […]

RELEASE YEAR: 2026BAND URL: https://primalucerock.bandcamp.com/album/way-of-perfection

The French prog metal act known as Primaluce released the impressive Dark Mirrors LP last year, which generated quite a lot of well-deserved praise, and it is therefore a thrill to see and hear that they have maintained their momentum and crafted an equally worthwhile offering in the shape of the cohesive […]

https://eternal-terror.com/?p=72741

RELEASE YEAR: 2025BAND URL: https://linktr.ee/LunaMarble

Manchester’s very own Luna Marble are set to release this self-titled opus of theirs in early November, and I might as well start out by saying that it is a proper gem that weaves the best parts of Led Zeppelin, the Yardbirds, Jimi Hendrix, early Fleetwood Mac, Rival Sons, and Pink Floyd at their catchiest together to stunning effect. […]

What a fabulous outfit this is! Irish/Venezuelan rockers Brake Loose have made quite a name for themselves this past year or so thanks to some stellar live performances, and there is something quite refreshing and invigorating about this inspired five-track EP of theirs appropriately titled Frenetic.

Taking their cues from 80s goth […]

HÄXAN – Death of Me
https://eternal-terror.com/?p=68419

RELEASE YEAR: 2025BAND URL: https://haxan.co.uk/

Häxan is a musically explosive trio hailing from South Wales, and there must be something in the water in those parts of the UK as Death of Me delivers an abundance of hooks and thrills that will make you want to revisit the disc again and again. Their debut offering, White Noise (2020), was a robust and interesting output that caught the […]

DELLA NOVA – Della Nova

RELEASE YEAR: 2024BAND URL: https://www.dellanovaband.com/

This is a rather interesting British outfit that came about during the pandemic, and which falls somewhere between alt. rock and grunge with an original twist. Crafted and composed by main man Alex Bowmer, these eleven melodically strong compositions possess an experimental quality that sets them apart from much else out there, and […]
