Winter In Eden was formed in 2009 in the North East of England, and already has two albums released: "At The Edge Of The World" in 2009 and "Awakening" in 2010. Clearly not a band to hang around, "Echoes Of Betrayal" takes the tally up to three.The band's sound is dominated by symphonic music and Vicky Johnson's sultry vocals. The musicianship is smooth, occasionally exceptional, and flips freely from bombastic key-led metal to soft, almost folksy piano driven chill-out. In between there are flourishes of jazz, prog and lots of straight ahead bassy rock, all tied together with those symphonic, highly atmospheric keys.
The Scorched Earth Orchestra has paid tribute to the epic sound that was the basis for hit records like Damnation and a Day by taking the "symphonic" part of "symphonic metal" to heart. Songs like "Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids" and "Her Ghost in the Fog" have been taken to their epic zenith in a manner best-suited for anyone who has meticulously followed the band. The Orchestra has crafted an album that Cradle of Filth fans will embrace in their cold, black hearts.
Once Upon a Time in the West is the second studio album by English indie rock band Hard-Fi. It was released on 3 September 2007 on Necessary/Atlantic and Warner Music UK. It reached #1 in the UK Album Chart in the first week of its release, unlike its predecessor Stars of CCTV, which took around five months to do so. It also reached #5 in the European Top Albums.
In January 1956, veteran tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins recorded a dozen songs, eight with a string orchestra and four accompanied by a big band, all arranged by Billy Byers. Hawkins is the main soloist throughout the CD reissue, and he was still very much in his prime 33 years after he first joined Fletcher Henderson's orchestra; in fact…
Grave's 10th album finds the band returning to Century Media, who parterned with the legendary Swedes to release the classic 'Into The Grave' debut in 1991. Six more albums of sonic violence followed before the band sought out new avenues following 'As Rapture Comes' in 2006. And although the two records that surfaced while Grave was away – 'Dominion VIII' (2008) and 'Burial Ground' (2010) – continued to uphold the band's penchant for quality mayhem, their latest outing, 'Endless Procession Of Souls,' hits like a ton of bricks thanks to its relentless speed, crushing groove, and rich clarity. Released at a time when death metal is enjoying a new wave of popularity and competition for the crown is fierce, 'Endless Procession Of Souls' takes the best of what Grave has offered in the past and chalks up a bigger and meaner spin on things.
Way back in 2005, the progressive metal world was stunned by the arrival of the U.K.’s Linear Sphere and their technical wizardry that combined the groundbreaking angular style of Norway’s Spiral Architect and healthy doses of advanced jazz fusion on their debut album Reality Dysfunction.Now, we finally have the new record, Manvantara (released on July 7, 2012) and it’s without a doubt even better than Reality Dysfunction, a more mature and self-assured work of art.
…Tianwa Yang is a sensationally talented young violinist. She has technique to burn. Her harmonics (and there are a lot of them) dazzle with their precision and lack of “hissiness”; her left-hand pizzicatos, special bowing effects, runs, and arpeggios fit naturally within a phrase rather than sticking out like the gaudy banners on a parade float. (…) Splendidly accompanied by Ernest Izquierdo and his Navarra players, this is a youthful, vibrant collection that just may change your mind about the virtuoso violin repertoire.
…"When Do I Get to Sing 'My Way'" might well be the closest they've ever come to painful autobiography. But it could as easily be one more round of characteristic role-playing, in which case Everyman has never had a more profound spokesman, or a darker fate to look forward to.
