Renaissance of Fools – Fear, Hope & Frustration 2012
NOW!
Swedish progressive metallers Renaissance Of Fools are about to release their debut album entitled Faith, Hope & Frustration. The CD title is appropriate, as the listener will undoubtedly experience all three of those feelings while playing it.
Founded by guitarist/composer Daniel Magdic (Pain of Salvation) and drummer Magnus Karlsson (ex-Leech & Machina – not to be confused with Primal Fear’s guitarist of the same name) and later bolstered by bassist BjörnTauman and guitarist/vocalist Kjell Bergendahl; Renaissance Of Fools is looking to enter the crowded progressive metal scene. They hope to stand out by mixing in some heavier elements along with some lighter meditative aspects, thus broadening the range of the genre.
The songwriting is solid throughout the release, and the musicianship is top-notch, but the overall musical tone is dark, heavy and a bit depressing. Kjell Sjostrom is a solid singer, but at times he seems to follow the overall tone of the album and comes across as somewhat disinterested or bored. He does have many fine moments, perhaps the strongest being the intense and varied “Misguided Mind”. Sjostrom’s guitar works well with the vast talents of primary guitarist Daniel Magdic, who loves laying down thick and heavy riffs and well as brilliant solos. The bottom end and backbone of Renaissance Of Fools is provided by standout bassist Bjorn Tauman and fine drummer Magnus Karlsson. These two make a fine team and really hold the album together whether playing at full steam or tiptoeing through a more ballad-like piece.
The Mystery – Apocalypse 666
NOW!Meat NOT Need…Only Here
APOCALYPSE 666 is their third album and their new singer Iris Boanta from the all-girls-AC/DC-tribute-band Black Thunder Ladies. This band offers very rough but melodic vocals, which has nothing to with symphonic Scandinavian Nightwish-imitations. Most songs on this album offer you classic and true Heavy Metal with powerful and sometimes speedy doublebass-drums, obligatory twin-guitar passages, sophisticated guitar solos, a little bit of clichés in their lyrics and a pumping bass-line. The band plays a mixture between US-Metal, a bit of New Wave Of British Heavy Metal and European Power-Metal. The production of this album is very strong and powerful. The Mystery is a must for everyone who wears an Iron Maiden-patch on his jacket!
HILARY WEAVER – Heart Breakout 2012
NOW!Welcome to H..
The last we heard from 21-year-old Toronto singer Hilary Weaver was “tell the next girl” – now she’s moving on and telling you to let your “heart breakout.” Hilary’s new release, ‘Heart Breakout’, features seven stellar tracks ranging from happy love songs (see “Blind Spot”) to angry breakup songs (see “Shame On You.”)
Recently, Hilary treated a packed crowd at Toronto’s Revival Bar with a selection of songs she’s recorded over the years including ones from her last EP, ‘Tell The Next Girl,’ and her new full-length CD ‘Heart Breakout.’ She introduced each song and mentioned some of her recent accomplishments. This year, she was hand-selected as a Top 10 Finalist in Akon’s Emerging Artist Grammy Contest and was picked as one of the Semi-Finalists in the 2012 Unsigned Music Competition in the Vocal Performance Category for her song “Heart Breakout.”

Wolfbane – Ace in the Hole 2012
NOW!Will be Hot..
Here we go… We are Wolfbane and we released our first full length “Ace In The Hole” (which is available on itunes) in May 2012 and it got us the attention of someone in the business who truely believes in us our music and wants to pitch us to major record labels. However, in order to do that we needed to make a 3 song demo that’s even better than the album and we have done that and an icon in the business is ready to mix and master it for us! We are going to work with Michael Wagener (He mixed Master of Puppets, enough said there) down in Nashville at the beginning of August and we need help! We’ve paid for the studio time, but we need gas, food, and hotel money!

Desolation Angels – Anthem 2012
NOW!Love Is…
“Desolation Angels” had me pining for the world we knew almost 40 years ago. These are fresh, feminine remakes of popular songs from the late 60s – early 70s, plus (I think) a couple of originals. Standouts are “Just Walk Away Renee”, worth it just for the ethereal Roches backing vocals, “Only the Lonely” with strong vocal by Deborah Berg, and “Something in the Air”. “White Bird” is a bit weak, but they deserve credit for even trying.
TOKYO ROMANCE – One Night Stand 2012
NOW!
I send this to all the music lovers, especially old fashioned funk and pops. This will be pleasing if you like Prince, of Montreal, and BEP. And I performed all the sound. If you get interested in this, please contact me. I’m always waiting for you.
ROBERT MORLEY & FINN JANSEN -Kultur Er Så Mangt 2012
NOW! IS a Funny!
80’s style music, with some elements of the 50’s & 60’s. Partymusic with funny lyrics, not ment to be serious, though some songs have serious lyrics as well. Reccomended for all ages.
This album contains party music in 80’s style. It is ment for the Norwegian market, but can be understood in the whole of Scandinavia. The lyrics are written in a humoristic style, and many of the songs have a nice dancebeat. Reccomended for people who wants to have fun before or after going out to town or to other places. Many of the songs will make you in a good mood. The music fits all ages, from youngsters to grown up people with a young mind…
