Replacire is the brainchild of guitarist Eric Alper, who founded the band in 2010. These progressive, complicated and technical metal prodigies hailing from Boston, Massachusetts self-released their debut full-length 'The Human Burden' in 2012. The album's unique and wide-ranging material was an ambitious statement of intent that quickly established the New Englanders as a must-follow heavy act in their corner of the US.Lyrical themes use to be related to: social issues, reality, actuality, life, etc. not topics at all.

light, simple, basic and direct punk rock with few distorted guitars and lyrical themes charged of humour, parodies and jokes about: politics, social issues and personal issues. Somewhere between lineal Ramones, humoristic The Dickies and melodic The Jam. Hard to believe in 2020 there are still people able to make this kind of music extremely simple and amazing, at the same time. Good job!

TESTAMENT























"titans of creation"
Year:  2020
Country:  US
City:  San Francisco
Label:  Nuclear Blast
Format:  CD, 2 x LP
Tracks:  12
Time:  59 min.
Genre:  rock
Style:        Thrash Metal














A highlight is the brutal ‘Night Of The Witch’. The fourth track not only features influence from the spooky as fuck horror flick The Witch, but also has axe-man Eric Peterson stepping up to the microphone and dropping some evil as shit and pathetic "black metal" style vocals. In the mix is Alex Skolnick’s trademark mad shredding guitar work and, I kid you not, a Theremin. But it’s 2020 and what’s old is new, so if you want to throw up something fresh nothing touches a Theremin … (I’ll see myself out). The band throw a musical curveball with ‘City Of Angels’. Shifting away from their usual sound they venture into territory I’ve not heard from the Berkley thrashers before. Peterson and Skolnick’s guitars take on a sludgy early Black Sabbath vibe, Steve DiGorgio’s bass is dirty, menacing and heavy as fuck. Speaking of menacing, Chuck Billy spits some deliciously gruesome lyrics re-telling the story of the Nightstalker killer. ‘Ishtar’s Gate’ sees the band back in familiar territory digging deep into Babylonian history. One thing I’ve always loved about metal bands who take influence from history is it gives me an excuse to learn about places and points in history I’d previously never knew about. Back in the old days I’d go to the library with a bunch of lyrics in my head and discover new worlds of savagery and wonders. Now I find myself I spending an afternoon disappearing down a Wikipedia rabbit hole while Testament thrashes in my head. History class was never this fucking heavy or cool. This album is as unrelenting as it is heavy. ‘Curse Of Osirs’ is a delve into Egyptian mythology at break neck speed, with Peterson’s devilishly evil vocals once again perfectly complementing Chuck Billy’s gruff yell. It honestly feels like I’ve been hit by a freight train. Thirteen albums in and these thrash metal legends are still delivering the goods (*Review Garet Williams ).

ALICE COOPER















"welcome to my nightmare"
Year:  1975
Label:  Warner
Format:  CD, LP
Tracks:  11
Time:  40 min.
Genre:  rock
Style:        Hard Rock














Welcome to My Nightmare is the debut solo studio album by American rock musician Alice Cooper, released on February 28, 1975. It is his only album for the Atlantic Records label in North America; in the rest of the world, it was released on the ABC subsidiary Anchor Records (also his only album for that label). Welcome to My Nightmare is a concept album. Played in sequence, the songs form a journey through the nightmares of a child named Steven. The album inspired the Alice Cooper: The Nightmare TV special, a worldwide concert tour in 1975, and his Welcome to My Nightmare concert film in 1976. The ensuing tour was one of the most over-the-top excursions of that era. Most of Lou Reed's band joined Cooper for this record.

The cover artwork was created by Drew Struzan for Pacific Eye & Ear. Rolling Stone would later rank it ninetieth on the list of the "Top 100 Album Covers of All Time". Famed horror film star Vincent Price provided a monologue in the song "The Black Widow". The original version of "Escape" was recorded by the Hollywood Stars for their shelved 1974 studio album Shine Like a Radio, which was finally released in 2013.[4][5] The ballad "Only Women Bleed", released as a single, is a song originally composed by guitarist Dick Wagner for his late-1960s band the Frost, with a new title provided by Cooper and revised lyrics written by Wagner and Cooper. The song "Escape" was a rewrite of a song by the Hollywood Stars from the album Shine Like a Radio – The Great Lost 1974 Album. The remastered CD version adds three alternate version bonus tracks.

City:  Detroit, MI
Label:  Universal
Format:  CD, LP
Tracks:  10

Genre:  rock

Expanding from his Detroit city rock roots, Cooper has experimented with a number of musical styles, including glam rock, hard rock and heavy metal, and also alternative rock just in these two albums here reviewed. He is credited with helping to shape the sound and look of heavy metal, and has been described as the artist who "first introduced horror imagery to rock and roll, and whose stagecraft and showmanship have permanently transformed the genre". He is also known for his witty and humorous personality offstage, with The Rolling Stone Album Guide calling him the world's most "beloved heavy metal entertainer". Away from music, Cooper is a film actor, a golfing celebrity, a restaurateur, and, since 2004, a popular radio DJ with his classic rock show Nights with Alice Cooper. In 2014 guitarist Nita Strauss joined Alice Cooper and gave to his band a new force and energy. Benefit concerts and compromise with several social causes, are also another Alice Cooper faces, among their music, makeup, etc.
