For more than a decade and a half, the Koblenz steelpreachers have been part of the metal scene in the city where the Rhine and Moselle rivers meet, as well as the Königsbach and Koblenz breweries. Already the title of their third longplayer "Drinking With The Devil" and song titles like' Blame It On Booze' and' Hell Bent For Beer' give more than a rough indication of what the crazy trio is all about. If you put in the CD printed as a beer mat, you have to smile inevitably. Obviously the guys don't take themselves too seriously and so the ten tracks, with a playing time of less than 38 minutes, rush past you very fast. However, this does not mean that Steelpreacher should be dismissed as a pure funcombo. Behind the fluffy numbers, sometimes inspired by AC/DC or Rose Tattoo, there is a shaken (or poured) measure of musicality and professionalism. The Schängel also leave the Rock' N' Roll in the direction of blues, but only to really accelerate afterwards. It goes without saying that such music comes across much fatter live than from the can and whoever has already been allowed to attend a steelpreacher show knows what a humid and cheerful event this is. So it's no wonder that this record was chosen by the new label "A Chance For Metal"-Records, next to Dragonsfire's "Visions Of Fire" as the first release.

Spiral Key is a UK based symphonic progressive metal band formed in 2012, specializing in melodic, thoughtful and heavy music, diverse themes and a subtly dark sense of humour. The band features the distinctive voice and intricate guitarwork of David McCabe and the thunderous bass work of Ken Wynne (Cut the Wire). Spiral Key released their debut "Perfect Machine" in 2013, a diverse collection of songs with a focus on melody and featuring themes of love, loss and identity. Recorded, mixed and mastered at Bentham Studios in Ken's home town of Swindon in the UK, the album was self-released. After a short hiatus and gathering live assistance from up and coming drummer Chris Allan (Esprit D'Air, Merithian) and guitarist Dan Carter (Belial), Spiral Key burst onto the stage in 2016 supporting a number of bands across the spectrum including Kingcrow and Votum. After that successful year, Spiral Key's second album "An Error of Judgement" was recorded at Outhouse Studios in the UK in early 2017 and will be released by Pride and Joy Music on January 19, 2018. John Mitchell (Frost*, It Bites, Arena) contributes a guitar solo to the track "Dark Path", vocalist Miguel Espinoza (Persefone) features on the track "Possessive" and Dan Carter displays his inimitable style on the track "Sanctimonious". Mixing and mastering were handled by David Castillo (Katatonia, Opeth) and Tony Lindgren (Angra, James LaBrie) at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden. Artwork is the product of the mighty genre luminary Mattias Norén of ProgArt Media, touching on the paths described in the album. "An Error of Judgement" examines the many misdeeds of mankind, from the major themes of disunity and disempowerment to the close-up and personal failings of people themselves. Darker and heavier, it elevates Spiral Key's trademark progressive sound to new symphonic heights, while still making space for the band's trademark humour and melody.

LIVE RADIO BROADCAST OF ONE OF PAUL & ART S FINEST REUNION SHOWS While the personal relationship between Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel was at times a volatile one, following their official split in 1970 as a musical partnership they have, on occasion, buried the hatchet for long enough to reunite; and when such an occasion has occurred, they have generally been met with universal celebration. One such example was in 1993, when Paul Simon invited his old companion to join him for a number of dates across North America and Japan. Their brief reunion this time included a six-date residency at New York s Paramount Theatre, during which their concert there on the 23rd October was the subject of a live FM radio broadcast, which was synced across the USA. Now available on this CD for the first time, this superb show can be enjoyed in full by all fans, as the pair play a selection of their biggest hits, alongside a handful of lesser-heard originals and some interesting covers.

No, the Apocalypse is not the end of things; it’s a part of creation and an immanent process in the eternal cycle of becoming and ceasing to be. There is no evolutionary ‘thread’ that leads us to believe in redemption. Even though on ‘Hall of Thatch’, Jérôme Reuter – alias ROME – initially only confronts us with voice and acoustic guitar, one thing is clear from the first note: This is the beginning of something new. Like some dark, powerful storm, the album’s sound draws over the threshold of our perception. Rome much like Vergil, who as with Dante, takes the listener by the hand and leads him through the spheres of our base existence. Terms such as paradise, hell and purgatory, however, would be much too banal to describe the abysses of the present day. ‘Hall of Thatch’ has an enormous impact. Previously, ROME mainly addressed literary or historical topics, and preferably a combination of both aspects. Each album stood on its own, yet each begat the other. At least superficially, on ‘Hall of Thatch’ he dispenses with that previous metaplane, in order to discover a new arena on the detour of a personal journey. The CD is much more introspective and thoughtful than most previous releases. ROME steers his boat down a dark stream of consciousness. “On the other ten albums (leaving out "Hell Money" here), I mostly used a political, historical or philosophical context in order to disseminate my thoughts. On this one it’s rather more personal, but more on the metaphysical, transcendental plane. Where does the body fit in that realm between the spirit and the world? It’s neither about current events nor politics, but rather about a process of realisation that’s still some way off from being completed.” There's a history to ‘Hall of Thatch’, however. Some years go, Jérôme Reuter set off for Vietnam. The country, its history, the culture and its relationship to Buddhism fascinated him just as much as the lifestyle of the people, who really did experience the Apocalypse half a century ago. At regular intervals, he played concerts at the most south-easterly point of the Asian mainland, and afterwards travelled across the land by moped. He himself called it his field recording trip. Many of these chants and prayers found their way onto the album, forming the framework for ROME's new songs. Now, it can be said that Buddhism is an easy subject matter. But despite tackling basic Buddhist thought, a Gregorian seriousness is nevertheless immanent in ‘Hall of Thatch’. For Reuter, the spiritual element is present in the successful battle with his own inner demons. “The album is not the peaceful end product of that peaceful being that you eventually want to become, but it focuses the struggle that leads to this point. We obviously tend to have difficulties in letting go. On the album I try to make this negotiation along the journey from one state to another audible. Where am I, who am I, what would I like to be, what must I surrender to achieve this? The songs are the individual stopping points on this journey. The final song is more placid than the others. There’s something of an achievement there for me, but on a very small level. It’s not the peak of the holy mountain, merely the base camp. That’s all I can sing about, because I’ve not yet been any further.” And in order to reach this peak, you sometimes have to go through hell, just as Dante did while holding Vergil’s hand. ROME’s basic sound has always been massive, but on none of the project’s previous albums was it ever so dark and powerful as on ‘Hall of Thatch’. Reuter grants rays of light here and there, but admits that this time there is no escape. This is not music that you can just flop down to. ROME compares it to being thrown into some satanic barrel organ, where you are never able to come out of it unscathed. In this regard, the album can be filed in a row with those of acts such as Wovenhand, Foetus, Swans or Steve Von Till. Although at first glance, the new CD doesn’t have anything at all to do with current politics and is definitely not a protest album, it does indeed serve as an appropriate soundtrack to our times. ROME's motto is that the time of banality is past. “The music is free of any kind of utopia or other values that politics or history could deliver. The status quo is utterly hopeless. You can no longer get to grips with the state of the world by deploying the usual approaches. We’re searching for new explanations, but can’t cede anything to a higher authority. Instead, we must all work out the answers ourselves. That’s hard work, and you’re standing there with both feet in the mud. In this respect, the album is definitely a reaction to all that’s going on right now. The majority of the diseases we have today are political diseases. When the outside world becomes just too much, we react with our entire bodies and collapse.” Bang! A statement like a meteorite whose impact envelopes the Earth in darkness. The album is not supposed to be an escape, emphasises Reuter. Nevertheless, or perhaps because of this, ROME becomes a phoenix. By withdrawing into himself, he is able to describe his own resurrection. This moment is what imbues this album with its power, splendour and grandeur. The songs feel like a tautened bow that is waiting to fire the arrow. That may appear to be a contradiction in itself, but it’s not the only paradox on this record. The Luxembourger Reuter outed himself as a staunch European long ago. But ‘Hall of Thatch’ is the most American of his albums to date, although this Americanness can in turn be seen as being very European. The CD characterises a provisional end point in ROME’s development curve, yet at the same time forms a basis for the future. The songs are charismatic without being missionary. In the manner of depth analysis, they sing of the state of our times, yet set themselves up as neither the rescuer nor herald of worlds. They are infernal, yet at the same time very intimate and vulnerable. However, Jérôme Reuter manages this without any kind of Ecce homo posing. Ultimately, it’s – once again – the stringent yet equally gripping work of a musician who always develops from album to album. He therefore has the courage to say, “The album is what it is. What emerges from it is presumambly… Nothing. I’ve said what I had to say and that’s all there is to it.” An exceedingly apt conclusion befitting an album that nods towards Buddhism yet displays Gregorian features.

A full ten years after their last, tragically romantic record “Letters to a stranger”, Persephone embark on a sombre and uniquely intense journey into another world with their latest effort “Perle”. The starting point of this journey is none other than a classic piece of fantastic literature: Alfred Kubin’s only novel “The other side”. Released in 1909, the artist renowned for his nightmarish paintings full of chimeras takes the reader into the dream city named Perle, a place constantly shrouded in foggy darkness. This is where the novel’s protagonist finds himself, realizing after a brief stint of fascination that he has found his very own inner hell. He has to deal with the blind masses in which he yet doesn’t find a place. Instead, he is haunted by isolation, solitude and estrangement. This deeply troubling and utterly intense piece of literary history has a quality of both frightening and fascinating the reader. “Dream and reality blur into each other, ethic values and morales are long forgotten, resulting in the tale of a grandiose downfall”, Sonja Kraushofer is explaining the background. “The downfall of a city, but also the downfall of society. Of humanity.” Musically true to melancholy as ever before, Persephone succeed in translating this nightmarish scenario to music, thus combining the bacchanal aura of their earlier works with a haunting, disturbing undertone. The outcome is a monument of solitude that will not fail to move every single heart it reaches. Not so much a retelling as an interpretation of Kubin’s work and his apocalyptic imagery, Sonja Kraushofer (L’Âme Immortelle) and composer Martin Höfert (formerly of Janus) dive that deep into the universe of a troubled genius that even the listener will find it exceedingly difficult to surface again. Produced by Martin Höfert, visually designed by artwork icon Joachim Luetke (Marilyn Manson, ASP, Dimmu Borgir, Sopor Aeternus) and supported by Fantasy heavyweight Markus Heitz („Des Teufels Gebetbuch“, „Oneiros“), who is himself an ardent admirer of the project, “Perle” sees Persephone enter a new, gripping and artistically stunning era.

In 2008 the Swiss guitarist, Sammy Lasagni, met the Uruguay born singer Christian Palin for the first time when Sammy’s previous band, Godiva, supported the band Adagio – fronted by Christian. The chemistry between the two was immediately obvious so they decided that they would, at some point in time, try to make music together. The two kept in contact but the years plodded along until 2015 when a certain long telephone call on a cold winter’s day changed everything. Right then and there they decided to get to work. They began writing songs and in record time 15 new songs were born. They decided to work with Dennis Ward (Unisonic, Pink Cream 69) as a producer. The guys soon after met with Dennis and introduced their songs. Dennis was genuinely impressed. So impressed that he agreed to work with them and joined the band not only as producer, but as a bass player too. The guys completed their line-up with Finnish guitarist, Ben Varon (formerly of Amoral and Grease Helmet) and Swiss drummer Philipp Eichenberger (Gods of Silence). Panorama was born!

Not so many bands that are active today have such power and such talent to create music that almost transcends borders of many genres, neither it's difficult to find such a powerful sound that has the tendency to remain stuck in your head for a very long time like it's in the case of French combo Mils. Mils have some kind of magic in their sound, often you won't know if you should be headbanging when they strike with heavy hitting parts or dancing around when they're flirting with 80s vibes. Nevertheless, Mils made a stunning return with this EP, it's an absolute must and believe me that you're missing a lot if you won't discover this so very intriguing band.

ROCKING AT THE RING -CLASSIC FESTIVAL APPEARANCE FROM 1999 As the 20th century drew to a close, thrash metal pioneers Metallica were riding high. Garage Inc. - a two disc compilation of covers, B-sides and rarities - had been released in 1998 and debuted at No. 2 on Billboard; the set spawned two chart-topping singles and went on to sell in excess of six million copies. In April 1999, the band made the live album, and associated film, S&M with Michael Kamen and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra; upon its release in November that year, the record would also reach No. 2, eventually being certified 5 x Platinum. Even with their heavy recording schedule, Metallica still managed to perform a respectable 52 dates worldwide in 1999, including several festival appearances. One such event was the famous Rock Am Ring in Nürburg, Germany on 22nd May, which was recorded for FM radio and television transmission, and broadcast both nationally and across the United States. With over 60,000 fans in attendance, the group played a truly blistering selection of classics from across their career, with a fine array of cover-versions thrown in for good measure.

Art and death are forever intertwined. Painting, literature, music, they all can’t avoid the grim reapers’ shadow, they all erected mighty cathedrals in his name. A band that has dealt with death time and time again in the most touching of ways, thus delivering thoroughly monumental efforts, are L’ÂME IMMORTELLE. In this respect, “Hinter dem Horizont” is their opus magnum. What L’ÂME IMMORTELLE achieve in 2018 is nothing short of the perfect symbiosis between their very early days, their knack for stirring ballads and their lust for experimenting. Already the opening track “Unendlich” could easily come off “In einer Zukunft aus Tränen und Stahl” while “Dein Kuss” seems to be an echo from the unforgettable days of “Wenn der letzte Schatten fällt”. Never the ones for stagnating, Sonja Kraushofer and Thomas Rainer show their love of THE CURE in their “Disintegration” era with the stunning “Am Ende aller Tage”. Most remarkable, though, is how it all blends into each other quite seamlessly, quite effortlessly, harmoniously uniting the different eras in their archetypical and dark, yet dynamic, exhilarating and opulent sound. L’ÂME IMMORTELLE have reinvented themselves without abandoning their beloved virtues. Yet again! What’s more, they deliver the next throbbing club hit with the almighty “Treiben”. “Hinter dem Horizont” is a new manifesto for the dark scene, a thoroughly enchanted piece of music breathing Gothic in its purest form as well as pushing the envelope in form and content. Empathic, melancholic and thoughtful, Kraushofer and Rainer contemplate infirmity, death and mourning as they enter a sombre world. Yet there is hope, yet there is strength, the will to carry on. To seek and to find beauty in transience. They are not the first to do so. It has been long, however, since death has been touched upon so delicately, so true and sensitive as L’ÂME IMMORTELLE do. A true masterpiece even in a stunning vita like theirs, a collection of songs that will leave no heart untouched. A sound befitting a living icon like this is coming courtesy of maestro Krischan Wesenberg (of ROTERSAND fame) who once again went to work with true craftsmanship. His steady hand created a level of utmost technical brilliance that still has the necessary depth and complexity such a band demands. It is, in short, a perfect production for a work about death whose grimness is not ruling out a certain lust for life and carpe diem attitude. For our soul may be immortal. We, however, aren’t. Let’s make the best out of it Record Label: Trisol Music Group Style: Gothic Rock
