LANDWORK it´s a heavy rock & roll band that uses sonority and their lyrics as a way to social, political and spiritual expression. All that based on Christians precepts and on life experience of its members. LANDWORK was born in Blumenau, main city of the “Vale Europeu” (European Valley), at Santa Catarina state. Many cultures, from different countries, have transformed this region on an emerging sound, resulting on an expansion of bands from all kind of genres. Created at 2009 by the “cariocas” Jhony Israel (guitar), Thiago Chocolate (drums) and the “catarinas” Rian Rau (vocal) and Abel Dias (bass)…
The band has as a rule to mix all the sounds influences brought by the members. Influences that are even from Led Zepellin to Pantera, as well as Alice in Chains, Sound Garden and even a heavier line as As I Lay Dying, influence brought by Thiago Chocolate (drums). All that mix results on a rock & roll based on American bands of the 90, time where bands were free from labels.

The Company Band's occasional meetings of friends yields another EP of tunes,Pros & Cons. This band of like-minded jammers includes a who's who of recent modern rock: vocalist Neil Fallon from Clutch, drummer Jess Margera from CKY, guitarist/vocalist Jim Rota from Fireball Ministry, bassist Brad Davis from Fu Manchu and guitarist Dave Bone.
But the music of Pros & Cons may remind more of late Seventies heavy rock. The groove is steady and efficient, the melodies and hooks carefully crafted. Listening to El Dorado or Loc Nar, it feels like the band set the tempo to a sipping whiskey slow burn. Yet, the opener House of Capricorn offers some sweaty rock, like CCR in a modern context. Kill Screen even has a speedier pace. In the end, every song will grow on you.
Steve Vai continues the convoluted narratives found on 2005’s Real Illusions: Reflection with his new concept album, The Story of Light— the second installment of a trilogy displaying Vai’s interest in New Age spirituality.
As expected, this mostly instrumental album is filled with dense production, soaring multi-layered guitar tones, and tight harmonies. It does offer some nice surprises. Vai covers Blind Willie Johnson’s “John the Revelator” with a gospel choir and Beverly McClellan (a finalist on The Voice). He also duets with singer-songwriter Aimee Mann on “No More Amsterdam” to great effect. And Vai gets in his share of familiar arena-rock workouts like “Velorum” and “Gravity Storm,” and mellower compositions such as “Creamsickle Sunset.”
It’s a beautifully expansive work that orbits within a galaxy we’ve visited before, and Vai is truly awesome throughout. “John the Revelator” and “Book of the Seven Seals” are interesting because who hasn’t wanted to hear Vai in the context of a gospel choir or black musical theater? Although his spiritual libretto will confuse some, his artistry will leave no nonbelievers. —Oscar Jordan More»

Regarded as one of the most shining promises of the European melodic metal / hard rock scene, Sweden's SISTER SIN has released today (Aug. 07) "End Of The Line", the first single off their forthcoming album "Now And Forever", to be released on October 23rd.
After the 2010's critically acclaimed 'True Sound of the Underground', "Now And Forever" will be the band's third full-length album.
Listening the fresh single "End Of The Line" is it clear that Sister Sin is looking for a wider audience. Still potent, with their classic sharp guitars and the powerhouse vocals of Liv Jagrell, this new material sounds more melodic and polished.
This new approach is evident as new album will include a ballad, the band's first ever.
Strong stuff with a crunch production by Chris Snyder.
