Fans of muscular progressive rock will love Solar Fire, a concept album loosely designed around cosmology. The album opens with the majestic "Father of Night, Father of Day," which has the drive and complexity of a prime King Crimson track…

Riverside is a progressive rock band from Warsaw, Poland. It was founded in 2001 by friends Mariusz Duda, Piotr Grudziński, Piotr Kozieradzki and Jacek Melnicki, who shared a love for progressive rock and heavy metal. Riverside can be described as a stylistic blend of atmospheric rock and metal elements, resulting in a sound similar to that of Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, The Mars Volta, Opeth, Dream Theater, and Tool, while still maintaining an identity of their own. 02 Panic Room is a first single from third album Rapid Eye Movement but three of four are non-album tracks

Ultraphobic is the fourth studio album by American rock band Warrant. Released on March 7, 1995 on CMC International, after the apparent break-up of the band, the record was regarded as the band's "comeback" album. It features former Kingdom Come and Wild Horses members Rick Steier and James Kottak who came in to replace original band members Joey Allen and Steven Sweet. In all honesty, Ultraphobic is not a horrible album for an '80s band trying to blend in with the grunge movement. It's also a very heartfelt album for those that actually pay attention to the lyrics.

When Universe started out in 1985 it was a great time for their European Melodic Hard Rock. The band had evolved from the slightly heavier act Axe Victims. Their debut album "Bad Child" got released in 1992, followed by the EP "Waiting For.." in 1993 and their latest album "Is There Something" in 2003. As you can easily figure out Universe never flooded the market with their releases and with a break of 12 years inbetween their brand new album "Mission Rock" sees the light of day. Traditional 80s flavored hard rock is still the name of their game, somewhere between Pretty Maids, Def Leppard, Gotthard, TNT and a good dose of Bonfire. Timeless German hard rock stuff without being retro.

Jimmy Raney was the definitive cool jazz guitarist, a fluid bop soloist with a quiet sound who had a great deal of inner fire. He worked with local groups in Chicago before spending nine months with Woody Herman in 1948. From then on he was in the major leagues, having associations with Al Haig, Buddy DeFranco, Artie Shaw, and Terry Gibbs. His work with Stan Getz (1951-1952) was historic, as the pair made for a classic musical partnership. Raney was also very much at home in the Red Norvo Trio (1953-1954) before spending six years primarily working in a supper club with pianist Jimmy Lyon (1954-1960). After playing with Getz during 1962-1963, he returned to Louisville and was outside of music until resurfacing in the early '70s. During the 1970s, Raney recorded often for Xanadu. He worked frequently…

Sexy versatility: The New Yorker Lilly Martin lives and works in Switzerland and for her CD project "The Roadhouse mission" she surrounded herself with fine musicians and recorded a super hot groovy album, a live recording including 12 great tracks, carried by her reliable and playful band. The special attraction is clearly Lilly Martin, who has a soft and sensual voice. This is not a rock singer, more a sexy soul voice that effortlessly works in bluesy areas. The Roadhouse mission is a successful mix of different stiles, from blues to rock, everything is represented, and everything is played with comparable authority…

Majesty (also known as Metal Force between 2008 and 2011) is a heavy metal band from Germany.

They call their music True Metal (which is a common term in the Heavy Metal scene for traditional heavy metal or power metal with idealized, traditional and fantasy based lyrics and stage-appearance) and the band is usually dressed in leather. The band leader Tarek Maghary also the author of the Dawnrider project, a metal concept album featuring many other musicians like Rob Rock, Ross The Boss, Michael Seifert (Rebellion). Other contributors are from Manilla Road, Wizard, Helstar and Paragon. In March 2015 the band's ninth studio album, "Generation Steel" was released via NoiseArt Records.

"…Throughout the record, the music matches the inventiveness of the songs, filled with cutting guitar riffs, liquid organ riffs, crisp pianos, and even woozy brass bands ("Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"). It's the culmination of Dylan's electric rock & roll period – he would never release a studio record that rocked this hard, or had such bizarre imagery, ever again." ~allmusicguide
