This time, featuring a brand new line-up and an extremely powerful track list. “Written in Blood” has an awesome mix of thrashing, screaming vocals with ripping guitar riffs and pounding drums as heard in “Dr. Death”, “Six Feet Under” and “We Arise”. This, combined with the heavier, more melodic songs “A Blackened Resurrection”, “The Bell Of The Reaper” and “In Cold Blood”, gives the album another dimension. It’s both harder and faster than the latest releases – exploding with energy, it won’t leave anyone untouched!

Schtiel («Штиль») - песня, записанная вокалистом и гитаристом группы Rammstein на вечеринке «Харлей» в Москве. Является кавер-версией песни «Штиль» группы «Ария». Сингл был выпущен в 2003 году в честь 100 летия Harley-Davidson. Поскольку данная запись не была согласована с рекорд-лейблом Universal Records, диск был опубликован как «сольный проект» Тилля Линдеманна и Рихарда Круспе. Однако музыканты всё равно получили выговор от своего лейбла. В результате сингл был причислен к пиратским и запрещён к массовому изданию.

Polish prog act Riverside have been around since 2003 and have released six records and several EPs. Atmospheric, dynamic and melancholic are perfect words in describing their newest release Love, Fear and the Time Machine . It's quite similar to their first album, only with a more mature sound, stronger techninal complexity and a wider range of studio techniques and instruments.

While Jaga Jazzist's sonic explorations can certainly be termed as jazz, they're about as far away from Miles Davis be-bop as it's possible to be, and to label them as merely 'jazz' would be to do them a disservice. There are elements of post-rock, electronica and prog peppering the five tracks that make up 'Starfire', and they all contribute to an album which provides you with something exciting and new each and every listen. 'Starfire' is unmistakeably Jaga Jazzist – many of the riffs still sound like the theme tune to a 1980s Eastern European quiz show – but there are definitely signs of growth. Burbling electronic basslines give a bit of meat to some of the arrangements, which is unexpected and welcome. However, the biggest revelation is the epic 'Oban', where sweeping strings and breathy saxophone give a previously unseen human quality to this most studious of bands.

Jessi Teich is a one woman Mardi Gras! She’s a vibrant, victorious celebration and her soon-to-be-released album, Twisted Soul, will take you to the exotic locales of her own blossoming soul. Jessi calls Twisted Soul "a crossover record with a jazz spinal cord," with a sequenced "operatic" story arc of cathartic metamorphosis - overcoming tragedy through change and growth.

Scott Robinson has been affected a bit by the Roland Kirk syndrome. His interest in and ability to play just about every saxophone ever invented—and some that haven't—has obscured his talent to listeners more comfortable with musicians that can be identified by a single instrument, in spite of being very active recently both as a leader and member of Joe Lovano's Nonet. Pianist Emil Viklicky is the best known jazz musician working in the Czech Republic today but virtually unknown outside Central Europe, despite having developed a delightfully original style by combining elements of modern jazz with the melodies of Moravian folk songs and having been commissioned to compose a piece for "Let Freedom Swing," part of the festival that marked the opening of the new building that houses Jazz at Lincoln Center. Fortunately Summertime , recorded for Radio Prague, is available to shed light on these two unjustly under-recognized artists.

José Padilla, a legend in the Ibiza scene, presents his stunningly forward-thinking Balearic album So Many Colours. It would have been easy for Padilla to make a chill-out album, but instead he worked together with four forward-thinking producers to create a modern work, moving across the genres held together by the Balearic umbrella. Padilla is loved by many for his work soundtracking sunsets at the Café del Mar and compiling the seminal Café del Mar compilations, which sold over six million copies.

Sharply Detached is Stevie T and Michael Arthur formed in 2010, Stevie and Michael have been writing and preforming together since 2005. As musicians they have performed and recorded with some of the best. As a record production team they worked on dozens of projects, winning BC Interior Music Awards Engineer of the Year in 2008 and were also nominated for Producers of the year.

"Smile" is another fine set of mellow and acoustic guitar led Smooth Jazz grooves from Peter White. The opener ‘Smile’ enjoys a nice vocal from Mindi Abair. ‘In Rainbows’ is a typical White composition and his guitar work is particularly lyrical. Instrumentals like ‘Floatin In Air’, ‘Head Over Heels’ and ‘Awakening’ show Peter’s deft touch. ‘Smile’ is a delightful album that will please Peter White fans.

Original jazz based compositions and arrangements by Taylor Cook recorded by 20 of Toronto's finest musicians including multi-juno award winner Mike Murley and produced by Rolling Stones Saxophonist Tim Ries.

Дебютный альбом японской певицы Mari Koga, которая в последнее время живет в Нью-Йорке и выступает в самых престижных джазовых клубах города. Над выпуском альбома работал её давний друг - пианист Chiemi Nakai. Альбом получился очень ритмичный с элементами афро-кубинских ритмов.
