Pain of Salvation/Road Salt One ....CD $16.99
In a world governed by increasingly rigid rules and conformist conceptions of art, Pain of Salvation have created their own niche on the international music scene. Thir intelligently composed and cleverly arranged songs mix metal, pop, funk, disco, goth and folk with Arabian and Oriental influences plus other more or less extreme musical styles into a homogenous whole. Pain of Salvation consciously do without any kind of artistic compromise, the only criterion for their compositions being top quality and profound content.
Tangent/Down and Out in Paris and London ....CD $15.99
For keyboardist Andy Tillison, it's mainly the inconsistencies of an alleged zeitgeist that provoke him to realize his musical visions. Together with his band, The Tangent, Tillison has assigned himself the rather difficult task of creating with a successivly changing line-up music which, despite all cross-references to the seventies, still sounds topical and future-oriented. Down and Out in Paris and London is the sixth studio album from this well known progressive act. The Tangent are made up of Andy Tillison, Guy Manning, Theo Travis, Jonathan Barrett and Paul Burgess, all well known and respected musicians in the progressive rock world. The Tangent also features the talents of Jakko Jakszyk whose reputation as a brilliant guest musician is based on his work with great names such as Level 42, Robert Fripp and Gavin Harrison.
Redemption/Snowfall on Judgement Day ....CD $14.99
Formed in Los Angeles, California in 2000 by guitarist / keyboardist / songwriter Nicolas van Dyk, the band features legendary progressive metal vocalist Ray Alder of Fates Warning, as well as guitarist Bernie Versailles (Agent Steel), the phenomenal rhythm section of Chris Quirarte (drums) and Sean Andrews (bass) and the keyboard talents of Greg Hosharian. Through the band's first three studios CDs (2002s self-titled first release, 2005's The Fullness of Time and 2007's The Origins of Ruin), Redemption has gained a loyal fanbase and garnered rave reviews worldwide from critics. The band's 4th studio-album, Snowfall On Judgment Day, features more mature songwriting than ever before and shows the band taking several steps beyond the quality of their previous output, and standing out from the rest of the crowd in the progressive metal scene with their unique brand of heavy, melodic and emotionally powerful music. Redemption has clearly delivered their best album to date - an album that will stand as a watermark for progressive metal for years to come.
Shadow Gallery/Digital Ghosts ....CD $15.99
After the tragic passing of lead singer Mike Baker in October 2008, "Digital Ghosts" introduces new lead singer Brian Ashland and not only sees the entire band once again sharing additional vocal duties but also features guest vocal appearances by Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear) and Clay Barton (Suspyre) to compliment the release. With "Digital Ghosts," Shadow Gallery's members Brendt Allman, Carl Cadden-James, Gary Wehrkamp, new addition Brian Ashland and returning drummer Joe Nevolo (who appears on two songs of the record) have focused their powerful energies on creating a seamless blend of progressive, metal, and symphonic rock as a transcendent work of musical art that advances the boundaries of these genres into new directions.
The Devin Townsend Project/Addicted ....CD $15.99
Canadian sound wizard/musician/producer Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad, Steve Vai, Lamb of God, Darkest Hour) is gearing up to release Addiced, album number two in a series of four albums under the name The Devin Townsend Project. For Addicted Devin Townsend got vocal support by a well known femail voice: Anneke van Giersbergen, ex-The Gathering. Townsend says, "Musically, Addicted is along the lines of the big, wall of sound hard rock/heavy metal of Ocean Machine and Accelerated Evolution, even Physicist at points. It is a very direct and 'to the point' album with an emphasis on groove and the chorus. In the past, lots of my records end up taking a kind of Pink Floyd-ish route (between song meandering, etc.) Addicted is really simple: 11 rocking songs and no BS."
