The Age Of Nero

Satyricon - The Age Of Nero (2008)

[Black Metal]

Norway

Rating - 3 Stars

I did recently review Now, Diabolical and while in the mood thought it would be a good idea to continue on with their catalogue in order to make note of any improvements or otherwise, per release. For me Age Of Nero came with big expectations only 2 years after the legendary Now, Diabolical release. The first track 'Commando' leaves you in no misunderstanding this is going to follow the Now, Diabolical template. Heavy riffing guitars from Satyr and some incredible drum work from Frost. The gravel vox from Satyr is unmistakenly him. I have to say though the tempo of the lead track is a bit bland, travelling at half pace through most of the track. The single 'Black Crow On A Tombstone' is a great song and perhaps an outlier for the record, as it is certainly more up-beat than the earlier tracks. All up this is a quick review and can be simply summed up by the fact if you were a fan of Now, Diabolical you will find elements of this release filling in that urge for more songs or that itch. But is not as engaging, song-by-song. I don't like to make direct comparisons album to album, however these are so close and only 2 years apart. You can certainly see the influence but sub-par in places.

At Pompeii (MCMLXXII)

[Album]
2 May 2025
Classic Rock

'At Pompeii (MCMLXXII)' is the soundtrack from a 1972 concert film directed by Adrian Maben with Pink Floyd performing at the ancient Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii, Italy. The band performs a typical live set from the era, but there is no audience beyond the basic film crew. This new version has been remixed by Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson.

Pink Floyd are an English rock band formed in London in 1965. Gaining an early following as one of the first British psychedelic groups, they were distinguished by their extended compositions, sonic experiments, philosophical lyrics and elaborate live shows. They became a leading band of the progressive rock genre, cited by some as the greatest progressive rock band of all time. They have sold more than 250 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

Classic Rock

'Welcome To Shepherd's Bush' is a live album by The Rolling Stones. It was recorded at Shepherd's Bush Empire in London, U.K. on 8 June 1999. The album documents one of the occasional Rolling Stones concerts played at smaller, more intimate venues. About 2,000 people attended the show. By contrast, the Stones' next concert was performed a few nights later at Wembley Stadium for about 70,000 fans. The show was part of the band's No Security Tour. The opening act was Sheryl Crow, who performs with the Stones on the song 'Honky Tonk Women'.

The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. Active across seven decades, they are one of the most popular and enduring bands of the rock era. In the early 1960s, the band pioneered the gritty, rhythmically driven sound that came to define hard rock. Their estimated record sales of 200 million make them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. They have won three Grammy Awards and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. They were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1989 and the U.K. Music Hall of Fame in 2004. Billboard and Rolling Stone have ranked them as one of the greatest artists of all time.

Rocka Rolla [50th Anniversary Edition]

Judas Priest
Rocka Rolla [50th Anniversary Edition]

[Album]
22 November 2024
Heavy Metal

'Rocka Rolla [50th Anniversary Edition]' is a reissue of the debut album by Judas priest. It contains the original album remixed after the band regained control of the master tapes in 2023.

Judas Priest are an English heavy metal band formed in 1969. Rob Halford's operatic vocal style and the twin guitar sound of K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton have been a major influence on many heavy metal bands. Judas Priest's image of leather, spikes, and other taboo articles of clothing was widely influential during the glam metal era of the 1980s. Despite an innovative and pioneering body of work in the latter half of the 1970s, the band struggled with indifferent record production and a lack of major commercial success until 1980, when the album 'British Steel' brought them notable mainstream attention. They have sold over 50 million albums and are frequently ranked as one of the greatest metal bands of all time.

'Live In Bakersfield (August 21, 1970)' is archival live album by The Doors. It was released to celebrate Record Store Day 2023.

The Doors were an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1965, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Densmore. They were among the most influential and controversial rock acts of the 1960s, primarily due to Morrison's lyrics and voice, along with his erratic stage persona and legal issues. The group is widely regarded as an important figure of the era's counterculture. The Doors were the first American band to accumulate eight consecutive gold albums. According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), they have sold 34 million albums in the United States and over 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling bands of all time. Rolling Stone magazine ranked them 41st on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists Of All Time", and in 1993 they were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

Nirvana's success popularized alternative rock, and they were often referenced as the figurehead band of Generation X. Despite a short mainstream career spanning only three years, their music maintains a popular following and continues to influence modern rock culture. The band is one of the best-selling of all time, having sold more than 75 million records worldwide.

'Brutally Live' is a live video and album by Alice Cooper.

Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier; February 4, 1948) is an American rock singer and songwriter whose career spans sixty years. Originating in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1964, Alice Cooper was originally a band with roots extending back to a band called The Earwigs. After the band broke up, Furnier legally changed his name to Alice Cooper and began a solo career in 1975. With a raspy voice and a stage show that features numerous props and stage illusions, including pyrotechnics, guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, reptiles, baby dolls, and dueling swords, Cooper is considered by many music journalists and peers to be "The Godfather of Shock Rock". He has drawn equally from horror films, vaudeville, and garage rock to pioneer a macabre and theatrical brand of rock designed to shock audiences. Over his career, he has sold well over 50 million records.

They have sold over 100 million albums worldwide.
