Description/Reviews: 

Full Nothing is an international dark rock/metal project created in 2012 by Nicolas Marcos , Guillermo De Medio and Augusto Amicon.
Session musicians and world class vocalists joined in and helped build a wide range of refined options that gave shape to the Full Nothing universe.
The songs contain dark moments and atmospheric interludes, as well as agressive riffs and orchestral arrangements. Powerful blocks of music co exist with electronic sounds.
The project aims to transmit a game of dualities, a construction between opposites and a synthesis towards a different concept.
This is Full Nothing, an enriched world through the joining of opposites sides. The power of different colours and diverse feelings expressed through the music.

Description/Reviews: 

Making its debut in May 2001, Offramp's music represents a diverse collection of songs sonically reminiscent of classic and progressive rock as well as ambient, piano, and electronica stylings. Difficult to categorize into one format, Offramp's music takes its cues from a variety of pop, rock, jazz, and soundtrack influences to create a unique and distinct sound. The 2015 release of 'The Road Goes On' album continues Offramp's recent engagement in instrumental songs that range in variety and offer reflective and beautiful musical soundscapes.

Description/Reviews: 

Pat also knows how to write songs. They may come with a definite pop and indie flavour, as opener Sing goes to show, and thus trick you into thinking that Pat and band are into Journey's softer tones. However as soon as the intro to Snakes makes itself known, the music show that it can weave intricate progressive and sometimes metallic structures or just spread a magical ambient feel. It is all here on this debut album.

Description/Reviews: 

Currently an octet, HANDS are an ongoing art rock experiment whose earliest incarnation - Ibis (later: Prism) - was initially brought to Frankensteinian life around the time Nixon vacated the White House, tattoos were something only sailors and carnies coveted, and bands like Yes and Jethro Tull were filling arena-sized venues.
Over the years, nineteen different musicians have taken the stage and/or spent many a late, adventurous night in the recording studio as a part of this Texas based ensemble.
What started as a group of like-minded high school friends that tended to gravitate toward the more eclectic regions of the musical universe has evolved into an original, cohesive unit that combines multiple stylings absorbed along the way with their own unique take on music ‘progressive.’
HANDS continues to garner worldwide attention with positive reviews and a loyal fan base, and as always are in the process of creating what they hope is aurally pleasing as well as intellectually challenging and relevant new work.
To that end, their new album - Caviar Bobsled is a thrill ride of masterful playing, insightful observations and innovatory sonic scavenger hunts. Five years in the making -- employing over sixty different instruments (from Warr guitar to contrabass flute) -- this latest 73 minute effort from HANDS is sure to please even those hardcore audiophiles striving for total heaviosity as well as jazzier rockers, prog poppers and classical leaning sensitives. In other words (just like the Texas weather) if you don’t like what you hear, just wait a minute or two ... for it will surely change my friend.
Caviar Bobsled -- give it a taste, but don’t forget your helmet!

1. Magnet In Your Face (1:41)

Description/Reviews: 

The EP features the band's first new material in two years, and after that riotous opener it hints at a more measured and electronic sound than was found on their last album, Spooky Action . You could say this is a progression if you like playing around with the preconceptions that that contentious word in all its forms and abbreviations carries before it.
