Last year legend JIMI JAMISON started to work together with Swedish songwriter and producer Erik Martensson (W.E.T., Eclipse, etc.) laying down the foundations for his new solo album “Never Too Late”, to be released on November 2nd in Europe and November the 6th in North America.
The process took a good part of 2011 and 2012 to be completed, but the final results shine.
This is truly a monumental Melodic Rock album, where the stunning contemporary Melodic Rock songwriting of Martensson meets Jamison's superb vocal abilities and a massive production.
“Never Too Late” rocks really hard at times; probably the heaviest Jamison has ever been involved, still the melodies are going to haunt you and stay in your mind for a long time. More»

What is clear today is that every time there are many more bands trying to gain a foothold in this world. For this reason, it is welcome news to see young bands like the Valencian Download it in just two albums have shown a maturity, a job and a personality that previously only looked over the records and not on all bands.
Now I take it seriously, and the result of that work we get records like this "from scratch" at hand. And is that downloads have gotten in this his second own sound, and succeeded. A perfect blend of styles and shades parading between rock and metal, with all its broader aspects, including the latest sounds with hints of what is known as "neo rock".

Los Angeles, CA…On October 2, Cleopatra Records will release WHO ARE YOU: AN ALL STAR TRIBUTE TO THE WHO. As The Who approaches a nearly 50-year career, artists in genres from classic to progressive rock, and from punk to country, collaborate on a stunning celebration of the band’s remarkable catalogue.
This album consists of 10 original tracks and 2 cover songs - Neil Young's "Hey Hey, My My" (Into The Black) from 1979 and Australian Master's Apprentices "Turn Up Your Radio" from 1970. Though Rob’s trademark crunchy and gritty guitars are omnipresent "ART" also demonstrates his songwriting talents, which have continuously progressed over his last 3 or 4 studio albums and have now reached a very mature level in both style and substance. "ART" is without doubt the best ever album by Rob Tognoni!

Quite funny that such a fervent hater of He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe as me gets to review Kreyskull, because the first thing that came to mind upon seeing the band name was… yes sirree ‘By the powers of Gereyskull’ aaarrggghhhh. With something such as that as code of reference I was expecting moronic He-Man like over the top Manowar Masturbatory Metal which has less power than Celine Dion who sinks the Titanic. More»

With their fourth album, CLONES navels further from their metallic hardness towards rock. So they should make it finally let their shadow life behind and step into her own spotlight.
The move was not unexpected. Already the last EP "The Eye Of Needle" presented the progressive sound of the French far out bremster, but much more complex, and as yet the atmospheric heavy metal outworks. A development that also continues the new album "The Dreamer's Hideaway" consistently. Without denying their roots CLONES have managed to conduct their compositions even closer and more direct to get in shape. What in his description certainly applies to explain sounds complex, set to music in his way very straight forward and easy access. The French, however, not to use the structures of pop, but their songs skillfully steer towards the progressive rock and alternative. The final product sounds like this, when GOJIRA would operate on the creativity of PERFECT CIRCLE.
The band is called to get on the powerful scene with bands Andalusian Saurom size, Azrael, Sphinx and many others that deserve all the luck for their quality and delivery, but which we'll discuss in due course.Sombras del Destino practice are basically characterized by a heavy / power metal classic life, his voice by Angel Ruiz, with a fairly sharp ring that reminded me a lot, the whatever first Avalanch vocalist, Juan Lozano, later in Brecha ..The guitars are made by Victor Chica and Carlos Fuentes and passages are very classic, with powerful riffs, melodies recognizable easily, splittings of guitars, tapping and resources classic heavy / power, that we like.

Italy's Ivory Moon returns after a five year recording absence to offer their third release, Dark Time. In that time period, the band has added a new female lead singer, Gabriella Aleo, to their vocal tandem which also includes Sandro Manicone.
Typical of the genre, Aleo adds an operatic style made common by other female singers in similar bands. Also, typical of Ivory Moon is their propensity for symphonic, even epic at times, power metal in the European tradition in general, and the Italian style, specifically.
The arrangements are large, offering the Aleo-Manicone duo of soaring vocals, power metal swiftness, lots of orchestral keyboards, and uplifting guitar solos. It's all the stuff that makes fans of European symphonic metal power metal drool.
