BODRAGAZ – SYMPHONY 2012
NOW!
There’s a lot to like about the Colorado metal band with the strange name, Bodragaz. Their seventh studio album, Symphony, lives up to its name, for one. Here’s a solid collection symphonic and melodic power metal tunes.Other strengths define the band as well. Not the least of which is strong song arrangements, spry musicianship, strong vocals, and solid production. Symphony is well-executed and simply sounds great. The orchestrated symphonic synth layers throughout give many songs an epic texture which reminds of Italian cinematic metal.

NOW!
the first ever acoustic album from two members originally rooted in the Power Metal scene: Timo Kotipelto (Stratovarius) and Jani Liimatainen (Sonata Arctica). The titled says it all: Blackoustic contains dark but by all means atmospheric acoustic renditions. Most of the songs were chosen from the duo`s live set-list, including familiar Stratovarius covers like `Black Diamond’ and `Hunting High and Low’, but also songs like `Serenity’ and `Sleep Well’ from Kotipelto`s solo albums have been given the new acoustic treatment; proving that behind great heavy metal song, there’s very often a stunning melody screaming to come out. Furthermore, the album includes beautiful cover versions of Pete Townshend’s `Behind Blue Eyes’ and Deep Purple’s classic `Perfect Strangers’. As a special bonus Blackoustic also features a brand new composition: `Where My Rainbow Ends’ written by Jani Liimatainen. Earmusic.

NOW!WOW!
This band is the reincarnation of intergalactic super hero CAPTAIN ZORX! Blown to pieces by some wicked sourpusses, the CAPTAIN managed to split his being into four colour components before total destruction: Mr. Yellow, Mr. Red, Mr. Green and Mr. Blue (aka Aubergine). These four components are able to act independently from another, but if they combine forces (e.g. on stage, in the rehearsal-room or wherever there’s cheap beer and nachos), the CAPTAIN rises from the darkest realms of the universe to fight his eternal fight against all sourpusses, evil forces and wicked hairdresses out there. Such an event is known across the universe as a

NOW!
Maid of Mettle is an original, symphonically influenced, female-fronted metal band. Lyricist and lead vocalist Deanna Whalen writes about everything from insomnia, child abuse and addiction to religious wars and spiritual enlightenment but always about real life experiences. Deanna studied Bel Canto/ Italian Opera style singing for 8 yrs and uses her well rounded tones in every line of her vocal expressions as she delivers her messages with power, control and passion. Maid Of Mettle stands for, being in the service of honoring one’s true self. Because life is made up of the darkness as well as the light and the combination of these experiences is what makes us who we are, song subject matter within Maid Of Mettle is not always about sunshine on a field of daisies but largely the hand holding

Now finally Jane Helen’s debut album here. Many will probably remember their very so refreshing appearance at the Eurovision Song Contest last year, others have probably experienced the band live. Still others were joined by their EP “huh” in 2007. They have also been playlisted on German and American radio stations. But the first time people beyond your circle of friends became seriously aware of the band when they were in 2004 in the finals of “The National Finals Of The Global Battle Of The Bands”. From there to here has just gone up.

NOW!
After their debut EP in 2010 which received great feedback and a strong reputation that the band has build around its name from their live performances Deceit is ready to release their first full length album with the title “Nine“.
Their sound is a mix of catchy melodies, cool riffs with an early 90’s alternative rock sound. I think that this band have must grown up with bands such as Foo Fighters and Alice In Chains to name a few. Most of the songs here are solid with strong arrangements and very good performances. This band has plenty of talent and that’s a thing reflects to their music. “First Father” is Deceit’s first video-clip and it’s about a very good modern rock song with powerfull performances and attitude. A good sample of what this band is capable to offer! Other highlights here are the ‘darker’ tune of “Around The World“, the aggressive “The Fall” and “Last Song”.
