NOW!!!

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.

NOW!Gremmo...

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.

"LOVE” is a beautiful collection of melodic, soulful love songs selected from my first 4 solo CDs. It also includes 3 new tracks and a special bonus track especially written and recorded for Japan. The concept of the CD is to feature some of my favorite singers, songwriters and musicians I have had the honor of working with over the years, capture a bit of my solo history that features them, and release a few new songs to keep it fresh.
Here is what George Benson has to say about LOVE.
Janey Clewer might be a new name to you, but for those who have heard her sing and have been involved with her in the studio or live performances, know she is a one of a kind, romantic and dynamic story teller. She is one of my favorite vocalists. Her intonation is amazing. This record is loaded with greatness, such as Peter Cetera and Bill Champlin. I know you are going to enjoy it.- George Benson

NOW!

REIGN OF THOUGHT was originally conceived early in 2006 by founding members Matt Becker (guitar), Aaron Yerdon (guitar), and Shanna Becker (vocalist/violin/keyboard).

Like a visceral response to the mainstream, Reign of Thought fights back against the hum of the mediocre with their very own pandemonium of soaring melodies, powerful rhythms, complex composition, and dramatic storytelling. With the recent addition of members, Justin Merolla (drums), and Shawn Dandrew (bass), it is without a doubt that this is the beginning of an incredible adventure.

Hailing from New York’s Capital District, this five-piece groundbreaking progressive metal project has a variety of experiences and musical influences which culminate in an innovative sound and texture. Every NWS live show is a breathtaking experience for the senses. Their presence is dynamic; each member of the crowd taken on a journey in which they are part of the experience, and not just a member of the audience.
