In already a year of some great unexpected treats the newest one to come this way is arguably the most exciting and pleasurable.
“Thru Ever – Ending Black” the double debut album from composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer David J Caron, is nothing short of being wonderfully infectious and persistently compelling, its creativity and compulsive sounds the most satisfying and thrilling experience.
KADAVAR are the new sensation in the currently extremely vital Retro Rock / Doom / Psychedelic Rock genre. The Berlin-based trio consists of Wolf (guitar / vocals), Mammoth (bass) and Tiger (drums). The band survived the occult psychedelic proto-hard rock and metal of the early 70s, a la Black Sabbath, Pentagram, or Hawkwind. In early March, the self-titled debut album of the power trio was a bombshell into the scene: Published on This Charming Man Records and the American cult label Tee Pee Records, the vinyl record in the first two months sold after the release of three editions (3,000 copies). In July, the CD and download version will be released

The Gloria Story has had a great year, rockin’ and rollin’ all over Europe, at festivals like Sweden Rock and Skogsröjet. But this time the band sets out to help those in need. All the proceeds from the single will be donated to the charity organissation VÄRLDENS BARN, making the world a better place for children everywhere
Some concept albums are more fun to listen to if you just tune out the concept. That’s the case with Spiritual Revolution, a 69-minute mish-mash of neo-progressive rock, dark metal, Celtic influences, brief spoken-word narration and sounds effects, and even Duran Duran references. The fact this Italian band can hold all of that together musically is impressive enough; I’m not even going to try to comment on how faithful it is to J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion, which inspired Spiritual Revolution (and which I’ve never read).
