Editorial

I remember the way promotion used to be made by all the labels about 12 years ago. They had several promo CD copies that they shared with magazines & webzines around the globe. Certainly this thing was kinda “expensive” for the indie labels but everything was done beautifully. You’ve got a proper copy of the album that you were about to review and you could listen to the actual music.
As years went by, the labels thought another way of sharing their albums/music with the press....

You know it ain’t always easy to write an editorial without being influenced by the things going on around you, especially on the political/social field these days. Why people leave a bunch of puppets to control & ruin their lives whenever and in every way they want to, will always make a bad impression. “Master of Puppets” was never more up to date than it is now… in the late history of course.
“I’m your source of self-destruction”… for all those...

What a great feeling when Spring is coming and the dark & cloudy days are left behind. So, another month has gone by and here we are again with numerous releases around, tryin’ to catch up as many as we can. Generally speaking, some good albums have been released and some more are expected by the fans. Let’s not give the appropriate attention and consideration to the big and known groups only. There are so many bands that need & deserve our support more than a known one that has been...

Well, it’s that time of year when the lists with the Best Albums & Songs for 2012 are ready and need to be published. 2012 has been a great music year therefore the selection was hard. We took various things under consideration and after we reviewed over 400 (!) albums we’re glad to say that independent releases have taken a great piece of the pie. After all, the Best Album of 2012 according to Grande Rock is “Les Friction”, which is an indie release. Three out of the five top...

2012 has been a very good music year overall. Especially, now that we have avoided the Planet’s total destruction! All those who are fantasizing of massive deaths, panic, horror, terror & annihilation were proved ludicrous once again. ‘Nough with that! Were I to describe it in only a few words I would call it a Prog Year. It’s not only the big quantity of prog rock/metal releases but also the top quality that most of them had. I can’t remember myself listening to so many...

There are times that you come across a band and you’ve got a feeling that you’re about to listen to something good, something that you didn’t expect at all. All these years while dealing with Grande Rock and music in general, I never stopped looking out for newcomers that actually have potential. And believe me there are many bands out there that are capable of doing something out of the ordinary but they never make it for various reasons in the end. That doesn’t mean that they couldn...

Well, it may officially be autumn but here’s still hot! Crazy weather, psychotic way of living and insane politicians! Thank God we’ve got wonderful music that keeps us good company all these crazy times.
We are preparing a big tribute to a late musician that marked, in his own special way, our beloved music. He’s a great miss for the hard rock scene and surely, his unique songwriting and solos will be missed by everyone. I just wish things were different… a tribute to this...

Summer moved on – unfortunately – so it’s time to get back to our everyday life… no matter if it is the same old shit or totally changed. Sometimes it’s better to know what tomorrow will bring than to be moving into the unknown. I hope you all had a nice summer time and enjoyed the sea and the sun…
It’s about time we increased the “Likes” on our FB page… and everyone needs an incentive to do so. Thus, we’re offering several gifts...

I know it’s hard to keep it up when you’re in the heart of Summer and the days are getting hotter & hotter… then the nearest beach is the solution to the god damn heat! It’s times like these when Greece is a true Heaven for everyone that loves the sun and the wonderful seas. It’s kinda impossible not to feel like a little kid and wanna have fun and spend your days feeling careless & fooling around… even if our “beloved” European counterparts are doing...
