Days Of Wine is a new melodic rock band from Norway which has been put together by a number of veterans from the Norwegian rock scene. The guys have all been around for a number of years and all thought that it was high time that they got together to produce a new AOR album..
Skills – Different Worlds (Frontiers Music)
Skills in a new band featuring a stellar cast of hard, melodic rock musicians in vocalist Renan Zonta (Electric Mob), guitarist Brad Gillis (Night Ranger), bassist Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, The Winery Dogs, Sons Of Apollo), and drummer David Huff (Giant) and if that line-up doesn't make you sit up in eager anticipation then you..
Graham Bonnet Band – Day Out In Nowhere (Frontiers Music)
Graham Bonnet is one of those eclectic rock singers with a clearly defined place in the corridors of rock power which means that a potted history of his career is not required here other than to say that he brought that air of commerciality to Rainbow that Ritchie Blackmore so craved before being yet another..
Zero Hour – Agenda 21 (Frontiers Music)
I simply do not know what it is with America and progressive metal but the bands they have produced seem to be so much better than from anywhere else and there seems to be a uniform brilliance about them all i.e. if they are American prog then they are excellent! Think Fates Warning, Redemption, Symphony..
Starchaser – Starchaser (Frontiers Music)
Starchaser is a new heavy metal band put together by the guitarist Kenneth Jonsson formerly of Tad Morose and he began the project purely as a solo album but it seems that the musicians he put together gelled rather spectacularly and they decided there and then that this should be a real, live band and..
False Memories – Live Until The Twilight EP (Frontiers Music)
There has been quite a lot of activity in the False Memories camp recently with this rather special Italian Gothic rock band recently releasing the second album The Last Night Of Fall which came out last year as did Echoes Of A Reflection which was a download/stream/YouTube EP release and covers of songs from bands..
Bible Black – The Complete Recordings 1981 – 1983 (Louder Than Loud Records)
You will know the musicians but most probably not the name, but Bible Black was an East Coast American rock band that came together in the early 1980s but achieved little success or acclaim. I have to admit that the band passed me by, which was a pity as this was exactly the sort of..
Altzi – All Eyes On Me (RA Music)
Rick Altzi is a Swedish vocalist and you most probably will know him though his work with bands like At Vance, Masterplan, Gathering Of Kings and Herman Frank. Altzi originally started out in rock and roll as a bassist but stepped up to the microphone in 2005 and he has rarely been out of the..
Division: Dark – Prophecy (Drakkar Entertainment)
As far as I can gather, Division: Dark is a new industrial gothic rock band from Switzerland led by former Burning Witches Seraina Telli. They seem to be another of those bands that believe in mystery and intrigue as a means of promotion rather than information flow so there are no band photos or lists..
Circle Of Dust – Circle Of Dust Remixed (Fixt)
Not my usual listening choice by any means but Circle Of Dust is an industrial project from New York created by the artist Klayton who also may be known to some of you for his activities with Cellerdweller. There were 5-albums under the Circle Of Dust name with the project running from 1988 to 1998..
