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.

My Darkness, the first full-length album by Before The Dawn, was released 23 March 2003 via Locomotive Music and features the first continuous band line up: Tuomas – guitar and growls, Panu Willman – guitar & clean vocals, Mika Ojala – keyboards, drummer Dani Miettinen and bass player Toni Broman. "Unbreakable", "Take My Pain", "Undone" and "Alone" are the 4 songs from the previous unreleased EP, but the titular song received most of the attention and was also included in the "Dynamite" compilation #35 CD of German "Rock Hard" magazine. This track remains the "evergreen" in the Before The Dawn live repertoire to this day.

Recorded in Seattle on the Doors' final tour, just over a year before front man Jim Morrison's untimely death, one of the most influential groups of the 1960s rolled into Seattle for what would become a legendary show. Morrison is in fine form, a perfect blend of controlled brilliance and unhinged madness, as he toys with the audience, always just a step away from complete pandemonium. Anchored by keyboardist Ray Manzarek, this is one of the most unique groups ever in American rock & roll, performing in front of 1000s of ravenous fans.

Gift CD from the band's show in Argentina, the last October 2nd. Nothing new here, just something for true fans.

Пятый сольный альбом норвежского певца Sivert Høyem, бывшего вокалиста группы Madrugada, которая распалась после смерти гитариста-композитора Роберта Бураса. Каждый его альбом неизменно занимает первую строчку в норвежском топе. Новый альбом получился ярким и атмосферным. Композиция "My Thieving Heart " записана в дуэте с джазовой певицей Marie Munroe.
