Swedish hard rockers Horisont take that one step further, by possessing the ability to take us back in time. The band has recently signed with Century Media Records, and on the 3rd of February will drop their 5th full-length album titled "About Time". For almost a decade Horisont has proved that it is possible to go backward in order to go forward, taking the iconic sounds of 70’s classic rock, and modernising it completely. ‘About Time’ is no exception to this and amidst the high-pitched riffs and classic melodies, there is an element of freshness that seeps through each and every song.

This is the third full-length release for Canadian electronic R&B artist Peter Sagar. Fresh Air’ is Sagar at his most neurotic and world-weary. To describe it as preoccupied with technology would be an understatement — distraction, attention, and the illusion of connectivity are cast into an interlocking orbit of swirling paranoia that hovers over the entire record.

My God-Given Right is the fifteenth studio album by German power metal band Helloween. It was released on May 29th, 2015. It marks the first time the band releases five studio albums with the same line-up.
It is their seventh consecutive album produced by Charlie Bauerfeind, and their first album released under the label Nuclear Blast since 2003's Rabbit Don't Come Easy.

I've waited years for this album. Finally this compilation of all this truly legendary band's recorded material is available to remind us what all the fuss was about. It is full of powerful, gloriously composed galloping heavy rock anthems, these songs never get old!

One of Brazil’s finest imports, Hibria, is back at it again with their fresh, invigorating EP, XX. Their current lineup – vocalist Iuri Sanson, drummer Eduardo Baldo, bassist Ivan Beck, with guitarists Abel Camargo and Renato Osório – presented the EP this past Tuesday, commemorating 20 years of the band’s existence. XX provides a perfect dosage of kicking blues licks, soaring power metal vocals, and gripping progressive rock experimentation. Veterans of metal, Hibria have been doing their thing for two decades now… so it’s a real shame that I’m only now discovering their progressive flair. Furthermore, XX is a great testament to their aptitude for creating a unique blend of metal, in all its glory and magnificence.

This is a dense album with lots going on and the band brought in a host of guest musicians and producers to help flesh(god) out their ginormous concepts. Guitarists Ricardo Dias and Vitor Carvalho do some impressive work leapfrogging across genres and styles, managing to craft quality goth, death and black metal riffs to fit the various songs as needed. They aren’t particularly flashy players but they know how to drive a song with a riff. Dias is also credited with the orchestral arrangements, which are omnipresent and generally well executed. They aren’t always as well anchored to the core of the music as with Shade Empire and Septicflesh, but they certainly work. Ernesto Guerra was required to pull off multiple vocal styles to make this all come together and he should be commended for his solid performance. His death roars are respectable and his singing is often quite emotional. Considering he’s a fairly limited vocalist, he really stretched his capabilities and helped put the material over the top.

Progressive-metallers Haken are gearing up for the release of third album and InsideOut Music debut "The Mountain". The time has come for them to reveal the second track to be taken from said album, and this comes in the shape of the ten-minute long journey that is 'Pareidolia'. The band had this to say about the track: "This song is at the heavier end of the Haken spectrum. It's a bit of a culture clash too; we had fun incorporating the Hindu scale, some tribal percussion and even a Greek bouzouki into our sound. We asked Marc Papeghin to create the visuals for us after he blew us away with his epic 22 minute Visions video."
