Hell City – Demons to Rest (2012)
Women when singing in the Heavy Metal / Hard Rock style seem to bring that sexy edge to the music genre, even so when Belgian quintet Hell City pluck out the right notes to produce their debut album, the inaugural fact is that the musical product is far sweeter than the luxurious chocolates that Belgium is famed for.

Starting with a droning minor key cello, Kama Loka immediately evokes the sounds of classic Algarnas Tradgard. The violin, Hammond organ, flute, sax, and Swedish vocals only enhance the comparison. Eventually some psychedelic guitar enters in, and the music moves closer to classic Flasket Brinner. Kama Loka is a project made up from the fine folks who brought us the Sveriges Kommuner och Landsting albums. For those who love the early 1970’s Swedish psychedelic progressive scene, like myself, then this album is a no-brainer pickup. Presuming you still have a turntable of course.

Aynsley Lister – Home (2013)
Despite starting off on his musical journey through the blues in the late 90’s ‘Home’ is amazingly his tenth album to date. Aynsley Lister is one of the current crop of young blues rock musicians breaking through and rightly so as like say Jon Amor or Chantel McGregor, not only does he play tasty guitar he has a rich and strong vocal, reminding me at times of the legendary Paul Rodgers.
