GOTTHARD – Starlight (2012) single
The spotlights are on: GOTTHARD are releasing the first single from the album “Firebirth” to be released in June.
The 2-track single, with the name “Starlight” features two versions, a Rock Radio Mix and an Acoustic variation. None of these versions will be available on the main album.
According to the band, “Starlight” is the virtual shooting star of the upcoming new album: the song was one of the first that the band wrote together with Nic Maeder, the new member at the microphone.
“The chemistry between us worked immediately”, says guitarist Leo Leoni. “It is really unusual to be able to sit down together and straightway write a song which is later the single.”
“Starlight” is not only the first official single to be released but also the lucky star shining on the new formation’s collaboration.
It’s a good song with a rockin’ vibe, and Nic Maeder fits perfectly with Gotthard’s style. I am not completely convinced by the drum sound in the ‘Radio Mix’ version, surely the band decided give it a more ‘accessible’ sound to rank on the playlist of all relevant radio stations.
Anyway, a promising advance.
Circus Maximus – Reach Within (2012 ) single
Five years of waiting for CIRCUS MAXIMUS new masterpiece album “Nine” to be released in worldwide June on Frontiers
Frontiers Records is excited to announce the release of the anticipated third album from Norwegian Progsters CIRCUS MAXIMUS entitled “Nine” on June 1st in Europe and June 5th in North America.
Five years after the successful release of the concept album “Isolate”, this time Circus Maximus are back with a strong and mature cd. “A lot happened in our personal lives during the past few years “, explains drummer Truls Haugen. “Three of us had kids, plus we also had a several bumps in the road with the production. So it has not exactly been a joyride, but it feels great to finally be done, and after all this time we are ready to unleash our new monster !”

XII ALFONSO’s “The Lost Frontier” is a great first album with an ambitious concept. These young musicians from Bordeaux (France) have built a superb work with long instrumental passages, some female vocals, and a Celtic-influenced atmosphere sometimes reminding of Mike OLDFIELD. “Odyssees” is the second album in 1999, presenting the same sort of beautiful and majestuous music that could have been heard three years ago.
“Claude Monet Vol. 1” is the first delivery of a trilogy dedicated to the last years of the french impressionist painter’s Claude Monet life, for the French group XII ALFONSO. This first one surrenders it occupies from the years 1883 to 1889. The relative influences to progressive bands that are appreciated in the album, I believe that they would come mainly from French formations as VITAL MINIMUM or Jean Pascal BOFFO, besides others as Mike OLDFIELD and Steve HACKETT. Those that have not been satisfied with XII ALFONSO’s first two albums, they can prove with this third that sincerely I believe that it is a great disk.

The idea of making a musical transposition of the famous Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” was conceived by Fabio Zuffanti years ago in 1995, but soon abandoned until today, right after the release of the four chapters of the successful “Seasoncyle” tetralogy about the four seasons. Zuffanti, eminent personality of today’s Italian Prog scene, and worldwide acclaimed thanks to his various projects such as Höstsonaten, Finisterre and La Maschera di Cera, has now concluded the first in a series of two volumes dedicated to the “Rime…”. The first CD contains the first four parts of the opus, while the second three parts will end on a second album which will be released in 2013. The music is, if possible, more symphonic, theatrical and majestic than ever, with touches of celtic music, hard/new-prog and much more, developed in five long compositions. The vocal duties rely on five different vocalists, with the aim to explore, interpret and give the listener the emotions of the dark and dreamy poem by Coleridge. Fabio Zuffanti’s guests in this new adventure are Maurizio Di Tollo (drums), Luca Scherani (keyboards), Matteo Nahum (guitars), Edmondo Romano (sax, bagpipe), Sylvia Trabucco (violin) and Joanne Roan (flute), while Alessandro Corvaglia (La Maschera Di Cera), Carlo Carnevali, Davide Merletto (Daedalus), Mar

For fans of Nevermore, Karnivool, Pantera, Tool and Devin Townsend
Teramaze might be Australia’s best kept secret … but that won’t last long. As this band is ready to burst out of their home country and make a well-deserved worldwide impact with their metallic alloy brand.
