SKULL, the brand new studio album from EVILE, is out .SKULL is the band's fourth album and features nine all-new tracks. The album was recorded with producer RUSS RUSSELL (NAPALM DEATH, DIMMU BORGIR) at Parlour Studios in Kettering, England. The artwork for the album was painted by artist ELIRAN KANTOR (TESTAMENT, SODOM, HATEBREED). EVILE frontman MATT DRAKE comments:"The time has come! We release our fourth album today, and we can't wait for it to finally be out there. We think it's our best effort yet so let's see what the metal world thinks of it…"We have tried to make something that hits you on different levels, something you can think about whilst you're running around in your living room having a good old-fashioned one-man circle pit. Hopefully this album rewards you with each listen as we think it will, and hopefully it stays in your head long after it's finished. We will see you on tour! Skull awaits your soul!!"

King Kobra was one of the better bands to come from the L.A. "hair metal" scene in the mid `80s, but they didn't leave us with very many albums. That's why a collection like The Lost Years was like a gift from above. King Kobra's The Lost Years compilation resurrects 11 tracks – many of which never saw the light of day – from the group's mid- to late-'80s glory days.

The great John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie (1917-1993) was more than just one of the best jazz trumpeters of all time. A superlative musician of dazzling, astonishing technique, Gillespie was one of the key founders of the BeBop movement of the forties, to the point that his goatee, beret and "bop glasses" came to epitomize the new, revolutionary style. One of the masters of the Bop idiom, Gillespie also was the first jazzman to seriously experiment with Afro-Cuban rhythms, the leader of two of the most exciting big bands in history, a composer of note, a masterful showman onstage, and an enthusiastic, quick-witted personality off it. In many respects, Diz - as he was universally known - showed the way to every post-war trumpeter in the jazz field.

All the Ben Webster fans should try to get a hold of this jewell! First of all, there are three televised performances from the 60s (some live, some in studio), featuring, among others, Teddy Wilson, Kenny Drew and the young but quite brilliant Danish bass wonder - Niels Hanning Oersted Pedersen…
And then there is a beautiful TV documentary from 1971, containing, among other things, few scenes from Ben's eveyday life in Denmark, some strings and two spirited club performances with Charlie Shavers, a spectacular (and musically very witty) trumpet player, another old friend of Ben's.

Ronald Brautigam, with the congenial support of Die Kölner Akademie, under Michael Alexander Willens, here performs Mozart’s Piano Concertos Nos. 24 and 25, both composed in 1786. The C major concerto is in fact one of the most expansive of all classical piano concertos, rivalling Beethoven’s fifth concerto. Their grandeur immediately made them popular fare in the concert hall – Mendelssohn, for instance, had No.24 in his repertoire through the 1820s and 1830s.

Following the success of the Westminster Cathedral Lay Clerks in their sumptuous men-only recording of Victoria’s Missa Gaudeamus, the choir returns to full ranks for a further issue in their survey of the Masses of this undisputed Master of the Renaissance. This new recording opens with Victoria’s five-part setting of the Marian antiphon Salve regina, followed by two of the composer’s Masses: Missa De Beata Maria Virgine and Missa Surge propera, which is preceded by its Palestrina model.
