Domination Black – Dimension: Death (2012)
Feb 16, 2012 22:27
Heavy Metal |Power Metal
It's been 6 long years since Finnish 'Horror Metallers' Domination Black's second album titled Dark Legacy, was released. Then in the end of 2009 the band lost their original singer Kapa Killgast and started a desperate search for a new vocalist. Eventually a guy called Matias Palm (known also for his other bands Heavy Metal Perse and Merging Flare) was found to replace Mr. Killgast and Domination Black were ready to kill again – at least with the new stuff they had so intensely managed to rehearse for their upcoming third record, which was baptized by the somewhat mind-tickling title Dimension: Death.
Domination Black's ex-vocalist Kapa Killgast was a great singer, often being compared to Tim "Ripper" Owens, but so is the band's new vocalist Matias Palm. Two great vocalists with two whole different vocal approaches, so suffice it to say there's no point to start comparing them to each other. What comes to Domination Black's third album, well it truly is different music-wise compared to the guys' two previous full-lengths but that doesn't mean they would have sold their souls at the altar of commercialism to gain more listeners to their side or anything like that. What Dimension: Death actually is, it's undoubtedly a more mature, refined and thought-out package from the Domination Black camp, there's not even a question about that. Musically the band has slipped a bit away from their heavy, Thrash-oriented Heavy Metal sound and added a remarkable amount of prog-ish elements into their current sound on Dimension: Death. The album sort of reminds me of what Dream Theater did on their Black Clouds & Silver Linings album, even if Domination Black use all those progressive elements more like a welcomed spice within their songs more than feeling an urgent need for getting credit as some full-blooded progressive Metal band, which they obviously are not – and should not ever be.
I would also say it's a really brave attempt from the guys to open up the whole record with the album's most epic and lengthy song called "Legacy of Fears", lasting over 10 minutes, but then again, the guys have succeeded in capturing all the right and essential components into this song in order to keep it interesting and variable enough. In "Porter at the Gates of Hell", which is one of my personal favorites off the album, Matias uses his whole capacity in a great way, at times managing to sound a lot like Rob Halford at his sixties. Guitar melodies in this particular song give a reason or two to believe the Murray/Smith span ain't anything new to the guitar span of Domination Black, Wiren/Heiskanen (start listening from the 2:32 and 3:28 minute marks - and again from the 4:10 minute mark). "The Final Sigh" is a straightforward and thrashy tune, accompanied with Matias' very Halford-like vocal approach, which gives its favorable and necessary kicks for me at least. "Angel Dark" slightly reminds me of some epic and pompous Tarot song, while a very catchy "Evilizer" twists my finger from finding this well-worn repeat button from my stereo system. The ending of the song is very Priest-like again mainly due to Matias' raspy, high-pitched screams.
I must confess I had my own fears as to how Domination Black's third would turn out to be like without their ex-vocalist's presence as an integral part of the band's sound. Thankfully all those fears have been wiped off now by the performance of the new vocalist and his band mates. Will this record become Domination Black's own breakthrough album? Time will tell...

Steve Hogarth & Richard Barbieri – Not The Weapon But The Hand (2012)
Feb 16, 2012 15:08
Progressive Rock Rock
Kscope is pleased to announce the release of Not The Weapon But The Hand, the new album from Steve Hogarth and Richard Barbieri. The album will be available from February 27th 2012.
Hogarth is best known as the frontman of Marillion, the progressive rock legends that he joined in 1989, following spells in The Europeans and How We Live. In addition to the 12 studio albumsMarillion have released in this time, he has also recorded and toured as a solo artist, under the moniker H.
In recent years Richard Barbieri has been a core member ofPorcupine Tree playing keyboards on all the band’s albums since 1993 as well as releasing two solo albums, Things Buried andStranger Inside. Prior to this, it was in the new-wave pioneers Japanthat he originally came to prominence, helping to create the groundbreaking synthesiser sound that defined the band and influenced the likes of The Human League, Duran Duran, Gary Numan, Talk Talk, Kate Bush and a whole raft of other artists, including Hogarth.
The band also influenced Hogarth, at that point playing keyboards in The Europeans; 'when I was in my mid-twenties Japan's 'Tin Drum' album was a firm favourite and truly a groundbreaking work... Japan were one of those rare bands where each musician seemed to have reinvented his instrument overnight. Central to this sound was the unmistakable synthesiser programming/playing of my, now, chum Mr B.'

After the release of their anniversary album 'Branded' early in 2011, Bavaria’s finest rockers BONFIRE are surprising their fans with a second birthday party and a special present; "FireWorks...Still Alive! "
A quarter-century after its release, Bonfire’s sophomore album 'Fireworks', is still hailed as a bona fide classic in the Melodic Hard Rock genre and the only ones who would argue otherwise are those born without ears.
That album had it all: loud guitars, powerful vocals, big hooks, anthemic choruses…in other words, 'Fireworks' had the works, the kind of melodious hard rock magic that seemed so prevalent during the ‘80s.
The glorious decade may be long behind us, but Bonfire has decided to define the present by returning to their past on this special live album. Recorded at a string of concerts in Sweden, Romania, Switzerland and Germany, the album features nearly every song off Fireworks, including "Rock Me Now" which the band had not played live in over 20 years.
The sonic quality of this album is astonishing.
This is a live album for those who loathe live albums. If you’re looking for a raw, unpolished concert experience, then you probably want to exit this review and return to trolling the bootleg sites, because "Fireworks…Still Alive!" almost sounds like a studio album.
Like a criminal that doesn’t care if they get caught, this album makes no attempt to conceal the evidence of its post-recording enhancements.
The audience noise has been removed save for the very beginning and end of the tracks, allowing the songs to be appreciated in all their beefed-up power and glory without suffering the distraction of yelling and hollering and clapping and whistling from the crowd.
What this album really sounds like is a re-recording of 'Fireworks' with the songs being treated to a muscular upgrade, particularly in the guitars and drums department. In fact, while some might consider the following statement blasphemous, the songs sound better here than they do on the original album—they really are that much improved.
Even the gang backing vocals are still present, arguably too stacked to have been accomplished live, so perhaps sign of further post-recording tweaking, but one that works to retain the original structure, composition, and vibe of the songs.
A track by track rehashing of the songs seems pointless, as most Melodic Hard Rock fans have been cranking them up on a regular basis for over two decades now and are well aware of how great they are.
In addition to the Fireworks tracks, the band also included a live recording of "You Make Me Feel" from their debut, which is a decent tune but proves Bonfire didn’t really hit their stride until Fireworks.
Also included is "Just Follow The Rainbow", which appeared on the band’s last album and "I’m On My Way" is a emotional tribute to tragically-deceased Gotthard singer Steve Lee.
One of my favorite Bonfire tunes, "Sword And Stone" off the Shocker soundtrack, is served up with an extra dose of attitude from Lessman while the band just slams it out. Forget the original recording, this is the version you’ll be reaching for from now on.
If you shy away from live albums like a witch shying away from a burning stake, I beg you to give "FireWorks... Still Alive!" a shot.
Aside from some short snippets of audience interaction, what this really sounds like is a re-recorded version of Bonfire’s seminal Fireworks album, and while they say you can’t improve upon a classic, this release proves them wrong.
Bonfire was once considered the Best of the Best in the Melodic Hard Rock business and this updated trip down memory lane will make you remember why.
A Must Have.
