\r\nSortilege is part of group of bands that started playing heavy metal in France in the early 80s. The band was founded at that time by the Dumont brothers (guitars and drums) under the name “Blood Wave” and when Christian “Zouille” Augustin joined them as a lead singer, they took the name Sortilege (which means spell).

OLIVER MAGNUM - S/T

May 15, 2009

\r\nI am really tired of continuously counting and naming bands that never got the recognition they deserved even though they had all the necessary tools to reach success either because they never got a chance or the timing was not right. And as you must have guessed by now, one of those bands is Oliver Magnum.

Running Wild - Under Jolly Roger

May 06, 2009

Running Wild… One of the very few names that bound their name with true heavy metal by creating their unique sound, releasing wonderful LPs, performing greatly at their live shows and gaining thousands of fanatic followers and enemies in the same time.\r\n

\r\nThe trademark band of German – and not only – power metal, announced its final split-up a few days ago with a statement from their leader Rock N Rolf (Rolf Kasparek) and filled its fans all over the world and all fans of true heavy metal with grief! Hard times for pirates, aye Captain Rolf?

Cities - Annihilation Absolute

May 04, 2009

\r\nHeavy metal history, especially in the 80s, is full of examples of bands like Cities. That is, bands which released an amazing debut album but afterwards lacked the luck, the technical abilities or the skills to build a career based on their first success.

Exxplorer - Symphonies Of Steel

April 28, 2009

\r\nDuring the 80s a lot of bands popped out from the American heavy metal scene, many of which unfortunately couldn’t realize the career they deserved, mostly because of the circumstances that took place in the music industry back then. One of them is Exxplorer.
