Sara Lombardi - Vocals (6)

Description/Reviews: 

A multifaceted 19-track album with a preeminent side made of classical-symphonic music and keyboard improvisations; however, the real prog-rock element hasn’t been forgotten on tracks such as "Tripudio", "Romantik Metal" and "Frammenti Perduti". The album also features tributes to the classical composer Johann Sebastian Bach and to Lucio Battisti, the latter honored with "Il mio canto libero".
The long time spent between "Goodbye" and the previous chapter is mainly a consequence of events that occurred inside Angelo’s family environment, and it is precisely to his closest relatives that Angelo Santo Lombardi has dedicated this work of his. "Goodbye" is therefore a deeply felt album, long awaited by those who appreciated Gan Eden’s efforts years ago, and now finally released by AMS Records.

Michael Romeo "War Of The Worlds Pt. 1"

Label: Music Theories Recordings/Mascot Label Group
Format: CD, digital, vinyl
Release date: July 27, 2018
Tracklist: 
1. Introduction
2. Fear Of The Unknown
3. Black
4. F*cking Robotos

10. Constellations

Line-up: 
Michael Romeo (Symphony X) - guitars
Rick Castellano - vocals
John “JD” DeServio - bass
John Macaluso - drums

Description/Reviews: 

Recalling the forbidding tone of the notorious H.G. Wells novel that inspired its name, Romeo casts the lead track, "Introduction", as a precursor for what is to follow. The dark, symphonic instrumental (equal parts Bernard Herman and Gustav Holst) gives way to the pummeling metal double-header of "Fear The Unknown" and "Black", on which Romeo's rifftastic twists and turns are ably assisted by Rick Castellano's soaring vocals.

Description/Reviews: 

We All Know straddles the post-rock/post-metal divide as it weaves between siren-like leads and sludgy riffing, finding its own form unlike any other. Rather than any typical post-what have you album, We All Know bears closest resemblance to a mix of the apocalyptic dance-drone of 65daysofstatic‘s Wild Light and Clint Mansell‘s moody and menacing score for The Fountain.

Description/Reviews: 

With it, the Algeciras, Spain, outfit present six tracks — well, four with an intro and outro — that to each very one, explore new territory of range and scope. From the flowing Iberian folk in “La Palmosa” to the shuffling tension of “Quejigo” to drifting into Afrobeat-inspired rhythms of the title-track to the Mellotron-inclusive fuzz-prog of “Sapo Sagapo,” Atavismo venture into deeply varied ground and feel their way through ideas both rich in tone, all over place and still somehow able to flow together as an execution of a single idea and spirit.

Description /Review

After waiting several years to put out a recording, ModernMyth wastes no time with an intro. Instead, they turn it up to 11 right from the beginning with their first song “Colors”, featuring punchy down-tuned guitars and memorable vocals by singer Aaron Harris. There are no harsh vocals on the record, but it never takes away from the heaviness, much like Caligula’s Horse or some TesseracT.

Description/Reviews: 

Formed in 2018, and with a lineup whose pedigree includes bands such as as WHITE WILLOW, HENRY FOOL, ÄNGLAGÅRD, THE TIM BOWNESS BAND, WESERBANDLAND and NECROMONKEY, GALASPHERE 347 creates music on an epic, widescreen, scale, replete with a powerful and dynamic drum sound that intertwines itself with liquid bass lines, grinding guitars, mellifluous flute and lush analogue keyboards, the whole of which is topped off by passionate vocals. As can be expected from the varied geographical locations of members, GALASPHERE 347 draws from a variety of influences.
Together, these vastly experienced musicians seamlessly incorporate the technical spectacle of progressive rock with the distorted insistence of Krautrock, via the intimacy of the singer-songwriter’s oeuvre, to produce a three-track album that spans a total of forty minutes, or, as the band says, “Just about enough time to reach Jupiter at the speed of light”.
