Black Majesty – Stargazer 2012
Now!
Australian melodic power metallers BLACK MAJESTY will release their new album, “Stargazer”, on July 20 via Limb Music. Dirk Illing (SCORPIONS,WIZARD) once again handled the album’s artwork, which continues the theme of the band’s past works.
BLACK MAJESTY began recording drums back in October 2011 withRoland Grapow (MASTERPLAN, ex-HELLOWEEN) at Grapow Studios in Slovakia and spent several months in its homeland of Australia laying down guitars and vocals. Grapow also mixed the CD, which will feature the following songtitles, among others: “The Fallen”, “Edge Of The World”,“The Killing Hand”, “Lykan” and “Journey To The Soul”.
District 97 – Trouble With Machines (2012)
Reviewing their first album Hybrid Child, there was a question I wanted to ask, but never did. How did vocalist Leslie Hunt go from an American Idol finalist and cutting an album of basically pop rock to singing in a prog rock band? The inquiry is rather moot at this point since Hunt had a rather impressive performance on D97’s first effort, and does again on their second release, Trouble With Machines. I would imagine she might find the prog context a greater challenge to her abilities.
Fundamentally, Hunts vocals work well with the melodies and complexities of District 97’s progressive rock. They effortlessly compliment each other, which is quite striking. Back and Forth and The Perfect Young Man (featuring Asia’s John Wetton) are perfect examples of this smart union.
Romeo – Cara o Cruz (2012)
The theme that lends its name to the whole CD is a hard rock apotheosis of colors that leaves breathless. From the beginning the song with us about strength, reaching into our souls through a voice strong and addictive, with its particular way of singing, scratching each letter with passion, raw and pure as it should always be in a rock theme, without compromise . Well the game’s guitar on the central Toss to heavy shades, a full issue on each element and is the intro to an album that we hope to remain at these levels.
