Published on the Musea Parallèle label in 2012, "El Visionario" is the third rendition by the band, second one recorded in a studio. Despite the presence of two guitarists, Abel VALENTE and Carlos CATTANEO, and the upbeats and polyrhythmics of Juan GASCO and Sergio TOPHAM in drums and bass, and not to mention an obvious taste for heavy-metal, the music played by the fivesome has unquestionably a symphonic flavor, which leaves plenty of room for keyboards (Nahuel ACOSTA), and melody. With eight tracks composed by drummer and producer Juan GASCO, and one by former keyboard player Diego Yanivello, this album lies at the crossroads between LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT, PINK FLOYD and EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER, and OPETH. In the end, the listener might even find some resemblances with Jaime ROSAS, or even the compatriots of NEXUS. Nine tracks performed with great mastery, that should bring the Prog(d)heads out there back to life!

NOW!Debut..
I have to confess that I look a lot at work on the covers, and almost always hit in the music that I find on the disc.
But for everything there is an exception, I've noticed a lot in this cover, I returned to notice, but ignored the little big band album and I just discovered, is breathtaking quality of music have achieved with their debut "Precession" .
Skillfully combined the classic Heavy Metal, with a touch of power metal and an amazing speed that make each song, a hymn, simply spectacular.
Singer, songwriter and composer Collin McGee commented on the new album: "This album was years in the planning and over a year in the making. We hope that our fans will enjoy the work we have put into this new release. This album is for all our fans across the world.”

James Heaton has been playing guitar since 1984, inspired at first by Eddie Van Halen and Steve Vai, he later discovered Joe Satriani and finally Jimi Hendrix.
James has a passion for Hendrix's fuzzface sound as well as an infatuation of cello's and violins. Combining the two he developed a unique sound that mimics the cellos throaty singing voice and the dirty feel of an overdriven Marshall amp.
A self confessed effects addict, James utilizes all the sounds he can find from slides, to ebows, to guitar synths, even chrome steel guitar picks. All mixed with the haunting melodic minor scales that James so loves.

The history of Portugal's female-fronted metal band Enchantya is a bit confusing. The promotional material states they have been around since 2004, but then list a back catalog of three albums between 2001 and 2003. What? The material then announces that Dark Rising is their debut album for Massacre Records. Confused?
If I would have known Enchantya included death vocals in their arrangements I probably would not have downloaded the digital promo pack. Nearly every song has moments of this horrible growling. It's nearly pathetic, some of the worst death metal vocals I've ever heard, even as accent. It's notable in the press material that no credit is given to the person responsible. That's good as whomever this is should be canned immediately, and the band should think twice about this direction for the vocal arrangements in the future. It simply does not become them.

Heavy metal-style epic.
"A Musical Epic" is an album of Heavy Metal Epic, made of 100% by Florian Hartl, based on historic battle for Vienna (Austria) in 1683.
The album went on sale in May using the label (and studio) Austrian STP Records.
What’s a review of an album by Paul Carrack doing in THE number one blues and soul magazine? Simple; it’s all about the music. The world’s oldest black music magazine prides itself on having broad tastes and knowing our readers do too.
And as Mr Carrack is actually a soul singer, he belongs here in the same way James Morrison did too.
Paul may be better known for his commercial exploits as a voice for hire on Mike and The Mechanics “The Living Years,”and “Over My Shoulder,” fronting Squeeze on their classic “Tempted,” and penning/singing the Ace winner “How Long,” but on his solo stuff and his concerts, this Sheffield boy keeps it real and mega soulful in heaps.
