NOW!

Swedish progressive metallers Renaissance Of Fools are about to release their debut album entitled Faith, Hope & Frustration. The CD title is appropriate, as the listener will undoubtedly experience all three of those feelings while playing it.

Founded by guitarist/composer Daniel Magdic (Pain of Salvation) and drummer Magnus Karlsson (ex-Leech & Machina – not to be confused with Primal Fear’s guitarist of the same name) and later bolstered by bassist BjörnTauman and guitarist/vocalist Kjell Bergendahl; Renaissance Of Fools is looking to enter the crowded progressive metal scene. They hope to stand out by mixing in some heavier elements along with some lighter meditative aspects, thus broadening the range of the genre.

The songwriting is solid throughout the release, and the musicianship is top-notch, but the overall musical tone is dark, heavy and a bit depressing. Kjell Sjostrom is a solid singer, but at times he seems to follow the overall tone of the album and comes across as somewhat disinterested or bored. He does have many fine moments, perhaps the strongest being the intense and varied “Misguided Mind”. Sjostrom’s guitar works well with the vast talents of primary guitarist Daniel Magdic, who loves laying down thick and heavy riffs and well as brilliant solos. The bottom end and backbone of Renaissance Of Fools is provided by standout bassist Bjorn Tauman and fine drummer Magnus Karlsson. These two make a fine team and really hold the album together whether playing at full steam or tiptoeing through a more ballad-like piece.

Autumn Whispers is a lyrical rock band which with its debut album "Cry of Dereliction Vol I" sets the standards for the album project of 7 volumes, "Cry of Dereliction". The music carries elements from the 70's progressive rock scene, acoustic and classical music, and has a core of tuneful melodies and skilled musicians. The lyrics are poetic and strongly associated with the musical arrangements, and the band's basic idea and vision. The album series will present selected poems from the world's most recognized poets, as well as their own poems. "Cry of Dereliction Vol I" brings together all these elements into a welcoming totality.

Well, just when I thought 10T Records had unveiled all of its fantastic surprises, which this year have included, TCP's Fantastic Dreamer, as well as new albums from Mars Hollow, From.UZ, Man on Fire, and Farpoint, they pull another rabbit out of the hat with The Anabasis! I am nominating them for record label of the year if nobody else does!

"The ANABASIS is a progressive rock collaboration project, conceived by USA multi-instrumentalist and composer, Barry Thompson, with lyrics by noted professional author, George Andrade, who is also Executive Producer. A group of extraordinarily talented musicians were recruited from all over the world to take part in the project. The premise was to provide a basic framework for the songs and then to allow the musicians to play their parts with their own style and sound",
