There is a darkness inside each of us that, until embraced with honesty, can never be overcome; consider it a kind of Underworld, if you will. Australian Rockers Tonight Alive are ready to face facts and awaken your sleeping soul on their aptly-titled, fourth full-length, Underworld, which arrives January 12, 2018 via Hopeless Records.

Второй альбом израильского поэта, писателя, драматурга, автора и исполнителя Oren Lavie. Песни Орена Лави по жанру ближе всего к французскому шансону на английском языке. Музыка полна проникновенного лиризма с фортепианно-струнной подкладкой. Тексты – лирика высокого класса. В свое время получил престижную премию в USA за дебютный альбом именно в качестве многообещающего автора текстов. В альбом вошли только авторские работы, сведением занимался Tim Rowkins.

Metal group Almanac – spearheaded by guitarist Victor Smolski, formerly of Bochum, Germany-based metal group Rage – issued second full-length studio album Kingslayer on November 24th, 2017 through Nuclear Blast Records.

Tori Amos releases a new album featuring orchestral reworkings of previously released songs on 1 October 2012. Gold Dust will be her thirteenth studio album and was recorded with the Metropole Orchestra, conducted by Jules Buckley.

Having flirted with classical music forms at various points in her 20-year recording career, Tori Amos has finally committed in full. On Night of Hunters, her 12th studio album and, notably, first for Deutsche Grammophon, the Peabody Conservatory prodigy draws on four centuries of European art music (Bach, Schubert, Chopin, Satie, among others), as well as on popular balladry and elements of contemporary musical theater, to create a song cycle by turns intricate and impressionistic, demanding and enchanting. There are no guitars on the album and, save for Amos’s signature Bösendorfer, no percussion instruments. Instead, the album’s 14 songs are arranged for piano, strings, woodwinds, and voice. Doubtless, it is the first and the last of these—Amos’s piano and her voice, more exquisite here than ever—onto which most listeners will immediately fasten.

The new album, Killer, immediately explodes through your speakers with the high-energy “Capt Crunch.” It includes all of the Super Bob elements you’ve grown accustomed to in their live shows, sans four maniacal performers flying around the stage. But trust me, you crank this up, and you’ll be flying around your place. It’s their trademark sound, which is a hyper-hip Rage Against The Machine / Rob Zombie / Nine Inch Nails kind of thing… Kind of, but not really, it’s probably best to slip on some good headphones, clear some space on the floor and as the chorus implores: “Let the mother fuckers know who their fucking with!”
