Iconic arena-rockers Night Ranger are set to release their new studio album "High Road" on June 10th in North America via label home Frontiers Records. Produced by the band itself, "High Road" will be available in two formats – a standard CD version and a deluxe version which includes two bonus tracks and a DVD featuring a background look at the making of the album along with video clips. Of the new album, frontman/bassist/songwriter Jack Blades commented, “It’s almost summer and a great time to take a trip down the HIGH ROAD! Our new record features classic Night Ranger feel-good, high-energy kick-ass rock n’ roll. We can’t wait for our fans to hear.” Drummer/singer Kelly Keagy added, “We’re so proud of this new record and excited to get back on the road to bring the new music to our fans.”

Although some highlights from Alice Cooper‘s performance at last year’s Wacken Open Air festival were featured in the “Live at Wacken 2013″ DVD released earlier this year, UDR Records are beginning to release artists whole sets in special CD/DVD packages and Alice Cooper is the first in what will hopefully be a long line of releases to come.
Of course, Alice needs no bigging up at this point in his career, having seen and done everything there is to do in a career in rock music that spans nearly half a century, and that is kind of the point of this set as the idea of the Raise the Dead Tour was to pay homage to The Hollywood Vampires, a group of rock stars – including Cooper, John Lennon, Keith Moon, Micky Dolenz and Ringo Starr – who used to get together and try to out drink each other, and some of the other fellow hellraisers who fell by the wayside along the way, like Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison.

Stiletto is one of Lita Ford's better CDs, and one in a trilogy of good albums that she recorded during the 1980s (the others being Lita and Dangerous Curves). Lita has always considered herself primarily a guitarist, and she doesn't disappoint. Her heavy guitar lines reveal some impressive talent. The songwriting is a bit intermittent. Standout tracks include The Ripper, Aces and Eights, and the heartfelt memorial to her late mother, Lisa. There are a couple of poorly conceived songs - Wake Up Call and Dedication sound completely out of place - but on the whole this CD is pleasant and listenable. The remastering on the new BGO edition is nice, resulting in clean, crisp sound.

Второй альбом метал группы, объединившая под своим таинственным названием Soen известных талантливых музыкантов. Альбом открывает очень короткий инструментальный трек "Komenco", в котором звучат в основном этнические ударные инструменты и плавно переходит в "Tabula Rasa", где группа раскрывает себя с более тяжелым риффами и эмоциональным исполнением вокальных партий. Треки "Ennui" и "Void" пожалуй самые тяжелые с ярко выраженными басовыми партиями.

Японское издание дебютного альбома прогрессив-метал группы, состоящей из различных громких экстремальных музыкантов этого направления: шведского барабанщика Martin Lopez (ex-Opeth, Amon Amarth), американского басиста Steve DiGiorgio (Sadus, Testament, Death, Iced Earth), вокалиста Joel Ekelof (Willowtree) и гитариста Kim Platbarzdis. Альбом получился ритмичный и мелодичный, соединяя инструментальное мастерство каждого из членов группы.

Now, after nine studio albums, it’s time to look back on the band’s rich achievement over the years. “33 - The Best Of” includes 30 SHAKRA classics, taken from the afore mentioned nine studio albums and on top of that, 3 brand new and unreleased tracks of finest quality which easily can stand among the band’s best songs. Two songs are even taken from the long out-of-print live release “The Live Side”.

Альбом «И-и раз!..» культовой московской рок-группы Вежливый отказ – новый коллекционный релиз в серии, включающей полную дискографию коллектива. Данное его издание – первое, выполненное непосредственно с оригиналов «Чёртова Колеса» - легендарной телепрограммы, чей редактор Наталья Грешищева активно содействовала появлению фонограммы. Запись проходила в тон-студии Центрального Телевидения Гостелерадио СССР в Останкино, что позволило получить качественный звук, над которым работал Андрей Пастернак, отвечавший за саунд и на концертах коллектива.

Cold Chisel is a rock band that originated in Adelaide, Australia. It had chart success from the late 70s up until their most recent album releases since 2011, with nine albums making the Australian top ten.

The band´s eagerly awaited self-titled debut album is going to be released on 25 July 2014 and is yet another document of their musical talent. It was recorded in Gothenburg with infamous producer Don Alsterberg (GRAVEYARD) and it is the product of a vision which was already beginning to manifest itself, before the thought was even imagined. It contains 10 songs filled with feelings of love and hate, joy and sadness, relaxation and frustration, all balancing together to form a whole picture which is the album "Blues Pills".

Live at the BBC is a Live two disc compilation album featuring various line ups of the rock group Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). Released in 1999 and featuring various live BBC sessions as well as Live concert segments recorded by the BBC.

18 til I Die is the seventh studio album by the Canadian rock artist Bryan Adams. Released on June 4, 1996 through A&M Records, the album became a commercial success peaking at #1 in United Kingdom and number two in his homeland Canada. It was recorded on different locations which included Jamaica and France. The album was panned by critics, saying he was trying to be youthful while sounding more like "having a mid-life crisis".

Umphrey's McGee are a veteran act steeped in prog musicianship, metal power and genre-jumping inventiveness that thinks in terms of album-length statements – in other words, a novelty act in 2014. All those elements are in play on their eighth LP, which is full of knotty Rush/King Crimson/Police-style textures and Eighties hard-rock thrust. They even try some tuneful jam-pop with the Phish-meets-Hall-and-Oates of "No Diablo." "There's no need to overthink this through," Brendan Bayliss sings on "Educated Guess," a slipstream sprawl of classical strings, drum-clinic rhythmic precision and hydra-headed guitar insanity. It's some of the zestiest overthinking you'll hear all year.
