Award nominated Birgitte Soojin is a Korean-born, Norwegian-raised jazz vocalist. Her future as a musician was soon considered well established and very promising after her critically acclaimed debut album «Hi-Lo» was nominated for a Danish Music Award for "The Best Vocal Jazz Album Of The Year" in the fall of 2011.

Немецкий power metal коллектив SINBREED, в составе которого вокалист распавшихся SEVENTH AVENUE Herbie Langhans и барабанщик BLIND GUARDIAN Frederik Ehmke, выпустили третий альбом на лэйбле AFM. Бурно прогрессирующая в последнее время группа закрепила успех предыдущего альбома «Shadows”, вышедшего в 2 года назад.
Простота музыки SINBREED может показаться большим минусом этой группы. Качественное переосмысление творчества разнообразных немецких power metal групп, начиная с HELLOWEEN и RAGE, давно уже не вызывает у слушателей былого восторга. С другой стороны, достаточно взглянуть на выходящие в настоящее время альбомы, чтобы понять, что евро-павера совсем не так много, как может показаться. А уж если обсуждать релизы крупных лэйблов, окажется, что только AFM предоставляет оставшимся поклонникам стиля поводы для радости. А уж в нашей стране немецкий power metal по-прежнему в фаворе, и желающих заценить SINBREED будет достаточно. «Master Creator” состоит из очень крепких трэков, включающих как тяжёлые боевики, так и мелодичные баллады. Естественно, назвать этот альбом, включающий в себя обширные наработки старших товарищей по стилю, шедевром язык не повернётся, но оставляет работа очень приятное впечатление.
Качественный, тяжёлый и разнообразный немецкий power metal. В прошлом веке группа стала бы легендарной в два счёта, в этом столетии большинство фэнов просто отдаст должное и проследует дальше.

Work began on his debut album Bitter Pill album in 2015. It was recorded in London and LA with Producers Fraser T. Smith and Cam Blackwood. James on the album, "I've always wanted to hear how my songs would sound properly produced, but I didn't want them to lose the edge they had live. We recoded the song Bitter Pill first and once we found the sound for that the rest was easy."

Как автор песен и продюсер, Андре Таннебергер (Andre Tanneberger) в течение достаточно долгого времени живёт в двух мирах. Первый –– это мир электронной музыки, в котором он создал немало экстраординарных, мелодичных, клубных композиций и отыграл бесчисленные ди-джей сеты по всему миру. Его творения –– "The Fields of Love", “9 PM (Till I Come)”, “Don’t Stop”, “Killer”, “Let U Go” и “Ecstasy” стали настоящими хитами, благодаря им Андре получил международную известность и признание. Второй мир –– это атмосферная область, более спокойные, воздушные треки, слушая которые вы растворяетесь и начинаете мечтать.

The birth of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow was brought about by Ritchie Blackmore's dislike of the Funkier, Bluesier direction that David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes were taking Deep Purple in. And at this stage of his career Ritchie was still very much into playing the type of Neoclassical Hard Rock/Metal with Medieval/Historic imagery that had made him, and Deep Purple famous worldwide. For this he found the perfect foil in Frontman/Vocalist Ronnie James Dio of the band Elf (Who has just finished a tour with Purple). Together with Dio and the members of Elf, Ritchie Blackmore recorded Rainbow, which is a truly amazing album full of Hard Rock gems made vibrant by Dio's mythological imagery and lyrics. And adorned by Ritchie's searing Guitars. And utterly gorgeous ballad's like Dio's Catch The Rainbow, A continuation of a long line of Dio penned songs using the imagery of a rainbow, which he would later continue in his own band, Dio. Also included is a fantastic Hard Rock reworking of the lost Heavy Prog epic Quatermass' Black Sheep Of The Family which Deep Purple had refused to record or include on the landmark Stormbringer album. In all, Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow is a true landmark and a defining moment in both Ritchie Blackmore's and Ronnie James Dio's careers and a turning point in Heavy Metal history.

Arcturus have indeed delivered an album that is up to the challenge of the times, only not so overtly. It's more of a culminative example of what has been perfected in the fields of progressive/somewhat symphonic black metal. It is more varied, both melodically, rhythmically and in timbre, that any of its predecessors. Also, while Hellhammer continues to be Hellhammer, there's a noticeable maturity and subtle change of style to the riffs and execution. One can only marvel, for example, at a man like Vortex, who, to allude to the proverbial wine, seems to be today at the top of his game, jumping from the harshest, most vitriolic shrieks he's ever uttered, with his now trademark playful and precise quasioperatic singing.

Natalia Mateo – Polish Singer presenting her “Heart Of Darkness”. The great thing about her act is that she includes several songs in her native Polish language which gives the whole show a sort of a folk/world ambiance and also a bit of an exotic touch even though this is the language of our direct neighbors, but it still sounds charmingly strange. Natalia is presenting music of her upcoming release, the ACT Music album “Heart Of Darkness” (out on March 27th) which, for example, includes the wonderfully melancholic traditional polish song “Trudno”. In fact, some of the songs are more like a seance. And there is the air of sadness and mourning hanging in the room.
