Cynthesis, featuring former Zero Hour members brothers Jasun and Troy Tipton (guitars and bass, respectively) and vocalist Erik Rosvold, with Enchant drummer Sean Flanagan, return with the second album in their trilogy, ReEvolution. Catching up on the concept, the story goes as follows: "In order for the elites to gain and build a stronger empire the shaman is sent out to the frontier to recruit more individuals. When encountering a certain tribe he soon realizes that they are the very same tribe he was taken from. He then decides to take them all back to the city to avenge those elites that had caused societies atrocities and to set those who were enslaved free."

arni_1

This is the 7th album from Australian based Progressive Rock Ensamble....ARNIOE
Always looking to find something different and experimental, this collection of compositions has a distinct flavour of Yes meets Pink Floyd.
All songs are typically cryptic, sometimes complex, but always possess that ARNIOE "catch hook" that will play over in your mind, well after the listening pleasure of this album has expired.

JupiterSociety

JUPITER SOCIETY is the new project fronted by Carl WESTHOLM, known from other Swedish acts like CARPTREE and KRUX. The epic concept-album "First Contact - Last Warning" (2008) deals about some important days in a distant future. Is this "First contact" or "Last Warning" ?... The music is somewhere between two worlds, Progressive rock and heavy-metal. Here we'll find the ambient but symphonic production known from CARPTREE, with a clear presence of heavier elements. Big arrangements, small details, different vocalists and More»

Lumerians_2Psychedelic, Space Rock

'The High Frontier' sees the band push the edges of stoner rock, combining afrobeat influences, psychadelia song structures, post-punk guitars, starry dramatics, brash dance beats and vivid imagery to create a record that both dazzles & invigorates.
It's a cacophony of sound in which Lumerians acknowledge the role noise and rhythm has always played in transcendent and ecstatic rituals the world over. From the repetitious drums of tribal animists to the penetrating electronic pulses of neon dance clubs, The High Frontier sets scope outward, points blindfolded at a star map and sets off full blast without making course corrections.

Front_1It’s taken from new pledge-funded album Truth, Lies & Half Lies, which is released on May 15.

The band say of their fifth long-player: “It’s the best-sounding album that we’ve ever done. Not only that, but we’re hugely proud of the songs too. There is a band philosophy that each record has to be better than our last – and this is very much the case here.”

600x600There is something irrevocably indomitable about the British rock scene. Like a dog with a chew toy, it simply refuses to let go. Through nearly forty years of imitators trying to steal its crown, good old rock’n'roll has proven time and again that it simply will not go away.
Very much in the Guns n Roses, Thin Lizzy and Motley Crue molds, the Guttergodz fuse the altogether brash, fist-pumping and ever-so More»
