Album Reviews

The Duke of Spook, Wednesday 13 is back with a bang, unleashing his 10th record ‘Mid Death Crisis’ via Napalm Records. Going back to where it all started for him with a more fun, campy, “leave-your-brains-at-the-door” release and a true return to his horror punk roots! We can’t wait to hear his new work live when he’ll take over the stage at Alcatraz in Belgium this summer!

Prep yourself for one of the most interesting acts in the left field of the Alcatraz 2025 lineup with the fourth full length from Italian purveyors of scarlet doom, Messa. ‘The Spin’, a collection of exquisite songs is out now on Metal Blade Records and might mean a big break for these talented people!

‘Overdriver’ is a solid and addition to THE HELLACOPTERS’ discography. It’s an album that will please long-time fans while also attracting new listeners with its timeless rock sound. Whether you’re a fan of classic rock, punk, or garage rock, ‘Overdriver’ has something for everyone. Another Masterpiece of Sweden’s school of rock, out via Nuclear Blast!
