Now!WOOOW!

If high scores were given for album art alone, New Jersey's Thank You Scientist would score big for their first full-length album, Maps of Non-Existent Places. I love sci-fi art from the classic period, especially when it's packaged in a format of early stereo records. Yet, what lies within? Something I couldn't have expected.

Here's a band of seven fellows, adept in many genres and very talented, playing about twenty different instruments, including cello, saxophone, and trumpet, to create ambitious progressive rock. I say ambitious when other words are also required. The arrangements are thick with complexity, significant mood and time changes, and individual showcase performances. There so much going on in every song, it takes several spins to wrap the arrangements around your head.

Nothing new in the music scene, yes, but "Sighs of Sorrow" is summed up all the musical potential of available Kingdom Of Hades: good melodies, strong rhythm, good work for violin and keyboards, guitars and a powerful voice well suited to style, technically outstanding ... but (yes, there is a but, always the bloody but) they lack a mild dose of charisma, something that distinguishes the few bands chosen from the rest of the pack. I guess it's about experience and give them time. They are good, the songs are based on the best of the legendary Heavy 80 (with epic instrumental introduction included) and above all, extremely courageous in practice a style that must feel genuine devotion as it is not exactly fashionable in the rock universe (in this country, of course), that is to value highly.

Judging by the name KingBathmat, one might think that the music contained on the group’s newest LP, Truth Button, would be an inaccessible mess of eclectic madness. Luckily, the opposite is true; in fact, it’s been awhile since I’ve heard such a tightly arranged and melodically enjoyable collection. The album oozes with psychedelic style and exceptional harmonies, too, which makes it an absolute joy from beginning to end.

This quintet from Lillestrøm makes a clear and good debut album, "Muriel's Dance" on Ovis Records. It is quite clear where the band puts the list, and should probably be something for everyone who likes a little sludge, metal and rock. The music itself is probably not as exciting for the seasoned, perhaps, but there are some things that pull up on the execution. Among others it has scope to Daniel (vocals), which makes up well for the album. The jump from a little more Phil Anselmo on the rock-sections, and second, maybe Dan Svanøe the softer, shows that it does well to have some experience in the field vocalist. I assume that this is something the singer (s) will continue to stay focused on, since it did well at several places during this album.

Bound to Roll like a big freight train' a quote from the title song is also a pretty accurate description of how the man, who many consider to be Europe’s best blues guitarist, approaches making music.

On the ground italicize flag of U.S. school progressive metal (Dream Theater, Symphony X) seems to have taken root in a marked ... only in the last period on our virtual desk will be landed at least ten discs falling within this genre! Futile statistics aside, also present here Replosion, quintet led by brothers Galletto (guitar and drums respectively), and orbital areas of Mantua in Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia, may well be classified in the chaos of the kind mentioned above. What we believe can (and will increasingly) to this interesting group to emerge from the standard of the genre is a seemingly innate propensity to compose melodies well-aimed, that softened the difficulty and the high technical content of the songs and bring the proposal at levels more user friendly, allowing the band to avoid the trap of proposing mere exercises in style and technique. The latter is certainly present in all the work (the borrower guitarwork strongly the lesson of Romeo of Symphony X, blended with a drumming school Portnoy, amply demonstrate), but fortunately is not the only goal of the band, which seeks to move away from merely trying to put quotations in the overall sound a bit 'of sound speed and strength drawn from the power metal ("Push Me Down"), and also some shots of elegant rock settantiano, which help to soften the

Thursday, October 2, after the dissolution of Noxis, group Heavy / Thrash / Black Metal, Matt (drums) and Van Raiser (guitar) decided to put together a group stronger, more powerful, and more epic, along the lines of Heavy Metal!
It's Tuesday, October 28, Bryan (guitar) and Scorp Kessclair (bass) complete the line up. New members come from the group "Heaven on Earth" that played Black Metal. Gradually the style takes shape, according to the compositions of Van Raiser, and the four musicians can be defined as a group of "Heavy Metal" oriented on the "Power Metal", influenced by bands such as Iron Maiden, Manowar, Gammaray, Running Wild, HammerFall, Dream Evil, Metalium, Stormwarrior, Grave Digger ...
Thursday, November 13, 2008, on an idea by Van Raiser, the group named "Heart of Steel". Later, on December 23, a singer auditioning for the group. But unfortunately his style does not match the expectations of our four associates. Finding no one who will do the trick, Van Raiser decides to take on the song itself.
