After nearly 13 years of absence, the Italian guitarists Walter Ciancuisi and Dario Parente back on track. To blow new life into the band they decided to work with some well-known names, drummer Scott Rockfield (Queensryche) and singer Goran Edman (Yngwie Malmsteen, John Nurum).
George Bellas is an American guitarist and composer who besides his solo albums, has worked with several well-known artists including John West, Magellan and Uli Jon Roth. Now for the fourth time the guitar virtuoso joined forces with Dutch drummer extraordinaire Marco Minneman on an album full of screaming guitars, eccentric rhythms and chaotic improvisations. The result is ‘Astral Projection’ which contains 70 minutes of epic progressive instrumentals.
It seems Anton Johansson, who is an ex Mister Kite member, had been running around with the idea for this ‘Galahad Suite’ for almost 30 years. And now finally you can find it in album form.
This Metal/ Hardcore act hails from the town of Stirling (once the capitol of Scotland) in the Central of Scotland (25 miles from the center of Glasgow in NE direction, and 36,6 miles in WNW direction from Edinburgh center), and was formed in 2006.
Based in Athens, this Greek Stoner/ Doom/ Southern Rock quintet has been true to its name, spreading its alcoholic propaganda since late 2008...
For their fourth studio album this band has give us a rather short album, since the playing time lies around 40 minutes only, something we were used to back in the time of vinyl, but which is rather exceptional nowadays.
Degreed is a melodic/hard rock band from Stockholm with band members:
Rubin Ericsson: Bass/ Lead Vocals.
Mats Ericsson: Drums.
Micke Jansson: Keyboards.
Jesper Adefelt: Guitar/ Backing Vocals.
Daniel Johansson: Guitar/ Backing Vocals
After three years they are back with a great melodic rock album. A classic AOR album with a modern touch.
The biggest challenge while writing this review is writing it while listening to the new EP by the Finnish Perikato, as their new album, Kovat Ajat, lasts just a bit more than six minutes.
Kovat Ajat is already their third record and it sounds like banging your head against the wall non-stop. The music goes way too fast and is not even enjoyable to listen to.
GrandExit has a new record and that is something to be overjoyed with. The new one is entitled The Dead Justifies The Means and is full of memorable guitar parts and an impressive song structure. The band, previously known as Vicious, pounds through the album and quickly tries to settle in your ears. This is the first impression you get when starting to listen to the record.
There are little rules in hardcore, but the only thing that applies for all hardcore bands, is the fact that the music is always straight-forward. The Canadian Counterparts is an exception to that rule.
The Difference Between Hell And Home is their third album and their second for Victory Records. Counterparts stands for melodic hardcore with once in a while a slight reference to the progressive genre as used by bands like Misery Signals.
