Motor Sister is the new band with Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian. This is a great rock n roll album. The rest of the band consists of Joey Vera on bass from Armored Saint and Fates Warning, John Tempesta on drums from White Zombie, lead singer/guitar Jim Wilson from Mother Superior, as well as Ian’s wife and daughter of the one and only Meatloaf Pearl Aday. Ian has always been one of the best riff masters around. Combined with Wilson’s guitar playing and great blues filled voice they put out a really good hard rocking album.

Swedish instrumental quartet ANIMA MORTE plays music inspired by the classic Italian horror and giallo soundtracks made famous by Goblin, Fabio Frizzi, Ennio Morricone and many more. With their roots in classic progressive rock they make perfect use of Hammond organs, Mellotrons and Moogs to create a creepy and haunting atmosphere. Anima Morte is finally back with the follow-up to the cultclassic album 'Face The Sea Of Darkness', This time they take their 70'ies inspired progressive horror rock one step further. Together with producer Mattias Olsson (Änglagård, White Willow) they delve deep into dark atmospheres and intricate experimental arrangements without loosing the track of strong musical themes.Highly recommended if you enjoy the music of horror movies past, but also classic prog acts such as King Crimson, ELP and Rick Wakeman.

Альбом 1984 года ремастированный на Nippon Phonogram в Японии в 1991 году. Love at First Sting стал одним из самых успешных альбомов в истории карьеры Scorpions. Для записи альбома были приглашены сессионные музыканты. По сути, все басовые партии сыграл басист DIO Джимми Бэйн (правда, сам басист Scorpions Франсис Бухгольц отрицает этот факт). Барабанщик Бобби Рондинелли (Rainbow и Black Sabbath), играл с группой во время репетиции, пока барабанщик Scorpions Герман Раребелл восстанавливал своё здоровье. Также известно, что во время демозаписи этого альбома на басу играл Нил Мюррей из Whitesnake и Black Sabbath.

“Venom” has a bit of a theme to it, they are taking you on a journey through all the ages of Metal. Having said that, it’s not forced and the songs stands on their own. I appreciated that they did add a few different elements to the music, songs like “Rise” and “Domino Theory” in particular seem to be a bit more forward thinking and unique. Don’t get me wrong, they don’t stray that far from the formula that everyone loves, but they’re not just filling the album with a bunch of soundalike tracks. I think that’s a big misconception about the Power Metal genre, there is room for some experimenting and “Venom” does explore some of those boundaries.

Actually it was MAGIC KINGDOM who first received international success, in Europe, Asia and South America alike.
