he compositional and interpretive indisputable quality of Avalanch has managed to break barriers, moving the field of music and evocative apocalyptic universe created by international illustrators Romulo RoyoandLuis Royo.

Malefic Time: Apocalypse hits from the first moment for its spectacular cover that features a superb album with a deluxe edition and special dimensions that go beyond traditional media to the public while listening to songs, see the illustrations performed exclusively byRomulo Royo and Luis Royo for the album, published by Holy Grail Records.

Thirteen songs that build Malefic Time: Apocalypse tour the exciting story of a flexible and powerful way through intense melodies that perfectly reflect the atmosphere created. In The Name of God, La Augur, New York Stoner, Voices from Hell, are some of the songs that decrypts Avalanch soundscapes that surround the plot. The work is fascinating for its great quality music transporting the listener to a world so hostile as suggestive, where the hope of humanity hanging by a thread.

Avalanch achieved the impossible by creating an album that seamlessly blends the strength of rock and metal with the appeal of a killer soundtrack.

For years, the paths of avalanch and art are intertwined Luis Royo, as the recognized international illustrator has been commissioned to give life to several covers of their albums, but this time they decided to go much further explains Alberto Rionda: ‘The When I first spoke with Luis found that shared a similarly to give life to our work, somehow knew that if one day we carried out a project like this, the artistic connection would be perfect. We have left the soul and the skin in each of the songs, all wrapped in a really special atmosphere. It”s been a great pleasure to present the Apocalypse with our music and describe the universe of these two great artists. ‘

The illustrations themselves are the first to roll over in his praise. Luis Royo warns that ‘the hair bristling with you every note of Malefic Time: Apocalypse to penetrate you. The owls flapping guitar chords that seem to injury, the whispers of hell … Avalon has known all that amazingly reflect the Apocalypse. ‘

For its part also praised Romulo Royo emphasizing the result: ‘The music created Avalanch not leave anyone indifferent, enriched and wraps around the universe with its highlights and shadows, is a high’.

Avalanch reaches heights of excellence offering the public thirteen songs of immense value as compositional points Sediles Antonio, who has directed the musical project ‘Avalanch has an undeniable talent, a voracious creative restlessness has demonstrated sound knowledge scenarios describe a incredible eclecticism . Available to very few. ‘

Avalanch music echoes invade the project in all its aspects and therefore will also be present in the new picture book and Romulo Royo Luis Royo, as five of the thirteen songs that Avalanch has created will be included in a DVD that will accompany the book illustrated. Both releases hit the market, in unison, on 5 December.

The first single, publicly available soon, will be the title track to the album and which will be a music video directed by Miguel Mesas, where we can discover how the characters come to life Malefic Time: Apocalypse.

Emanuele Perilli – Elheaven (2011)

Posted on December 3, 2011 in Rock by Alex F

Just like Steve Senes (also reviewed this month) Emanuele Perilli also releases an instrumental guitar album, however on three songs there is some vocals. “Manny” Perilli too wrote, arranged, and produced everything but released his debut not through a label and financed it himself. It is clearly all about the guitar playing for this Italian guitar teacher (who also is a sound engineer and graphic and web artist). The arrangements are put together with the accent on his playing, not too uncommon for an instrumental album, but on some songs the backing music sounds inferior to the guitar playing. Something one can see on many YouTube clips, a tape rolls and the relevant guitar player plays his part. Not so weird as one knows his guitar playing is recorded in the “Badroom studios”, the bedroom of “Manny” (nice wordplay by the way). Also Perilli explores more styles and genres en knows all the techniques, from speed picking, sweeping, legato and tapping until shredding, that is clear.

What should make, and keep, an instrumental album interesting are the melodies and colouring of the songs and that is well done by Manuele Perilli. Whether it is a heavy, funky song like ‘The Noise Of The Bliss’, a sensitive, atmospheric song like ‘Tears That Taste Of You’, a song that is being pushed forward by a disco like up-tempo beat like ‘Across The Universe’ or a heavy rock song like ‘The Truth’ (including speech from JFK), “Manny” gives them the needed, catchy melody, power when needed and colours them with lovely solo’s. ‘An Ivory Moon’, which starts and ends with the sound of crickets, sounds sweet as the summer and reminds of Joe Satriani, but that is more like a compliment. Perilli too dares to play a tropical reggae tune in ‘A Perfect Place’ with vocals by Rudy B. The song sounds like a mix between Santana and The Police and that too is not meant harmful. Strong debut album and – good – stuff for guitar players, or those who appreciate it.

Raven Quinn is a 26 year old singer/songwriter based in Los Angeles, CA. Quinn’s self-titled debut album was released digitally worldwide on her birthday, March 4th 2010 via all major digital music retailers (iTunes World Wide, MySpace Music, Rhapsody, Napster, eMusic, IMVU, Amazon/ Amazon UK, Lala, Shockhound, Amazon On Demand, LimeWire Store, Nokia, Zune). Due to overwhelming support from an ever growing legion of followers, Quinn’s debut skyrocketed to the number one position on Amazon’s “Movers and Shakers” chart- which charts Amazon’s fastest selling digital albums- and also held top 100 chart positions in Rock and MP3 albums in general, all within the first twelve hours of release. The success proved to be an unexpected victory and incredible birthday gift for the self-released indie artist.

The songs which appear on the disc, penned by Quinn and Juno Award winning producer & engineer Dan Brodbeck, range from dark and brooding goth rock tracks to light, ethereal, and angelic ballads. The album takes the listener on a very personal journey through Quinn’s psyche and vividly illustrates the darkness and light that each of us experience in life and that we all harbor within ourselves, while featuring the enormous instrumental talents of some of Quinn’s own childhood heroes: George Lynch (Dokken, Lynch Mob, Souls of We) and Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle, Poe).

Quinn and Brodbeck were first introduced by close mutual friend and fellow artist/musician Dolores O’Riordan (The Cranberries) and the pairing proved to be quite a musical match, resulting in a continued creative connection. Since completion of Quinn’s debut, Brodbeck has resumed his role as producer and engineer for Quinn’s soon-to-be-released track “Catalyst” which was written and recorded for campaign use for Rover 4G -a high profile wireless internet provider. A music video for “Catalyst” is currently in pre-production and will be Quinn’s very first.

Legendary music trade Hits Magazine has praised Quinn for bringing “an edge to the singer/songwriter genre”, dubbed her a “rock goddess” and states that she is “an artist to watch in ’09/10.” Other recent accomplishments also include Quinn’s inclusion on the 2011 Grammy Award Ballot across multiple categories, the addition of three of her tracks (The Window, Decadence, and Catalyst) to Rock Band Network, and an artist sponsorship with Daisy Rock Guitars.

Tracklist:

1 Prologue
2 Giving Up The Ghost
3 Lullaby
4 Decadence

Glyder – Backroads to Byzantium (2011)

Glyder were formed back in 2004 and hail from County Wicklow in Ireland.
With 3 albums under their belt, the band have established quite a little reputation on the live circuit from touring constantly with various world renowned artists such as Thunder, DIO, Gotthard, Y&T.
“Back Roads To Byzantium” is their fourth release after the band reformed earlier this year with three new members.

This new line-up all in their 20’s has added a new fire to Glyder.
New singer Jackie Robinson has a classy rock voice that sometimes hints at Paul Rodgers and Phil Mogg, full of warmth whilst still having the power to make you sit up and take notice. New drummer Des McEvoy and bassist Graham McClatchie have formed a formidable partnership, being both able to pound out some killer rhythms, as well as bringing a huge amount of emotion and feel to the music.
Often compared in the past to Thin Lizzy thanks to duel guitar riffage of founder members Bat Kinane & Pete Fisher, the band has now broaden their musical horizons with the new album.
Glyder are still operating close to the classic rock sound that has made them one of the most invigorating bands of the last decade, but this time they have also added elements of hard and even melodic rock resulting in a more mature and rounded end product.

From the start, you’ll find that the band retains their Classic Rock roots, but with a touch of hard rock heaviness, as on the opener “Chronicled Deceit”.
Yet, on the follower “Long Gone”, a fast-paced rocker, Glyder tones things down for a more melodic rock, even AOR, sound.
Strong melodies, a superb rock groove, and playful and catchy hooks propel the songs “Fade To Dust” and ‘Don’t Make Their Mistakes’, featuring strong guitar solos and indepth songwriting.
“Down And Out” has a plaintive guitar and atmospheric bass line, while the uptempo next track, the bluesy swagger of “Something She Knows”, shows how the band have grown, with an accessible chorus and hook laden guitar motif giving this song a commercial tinge previously unheard in the Glyder cannon.
That’s evident too on the pure radio friendliness and accessibility found on “Even If I Don’t Know Where I’m Gonna Go”.
New vocalist Jackie Robinson proves his talent and finesse on the acoustic driven closer “Motions Of Time”.

Glyder are back in great form. “Backroads To Byzantium” sees the band delivering a Classic Rock album with an impressive sound plenty of verve, harmony and energy that instantly command attention.
The entirety of this recording is bolstered by solid song composition and skilled musicianship, with great melodic guitars, a terrific rhythm section (I love the cymbals sound here) and a classy vocalist.
This album has been crafted with attention and care in a manner that makes it familiar yet challenging and friendly yet fierce.
“Backroads To Byzantium” is the most pure Classic Rock disc heard in years, definitely one I’ll be replaying time and time again.
Very Recommended
