Ten wpis przynosi garstkę newsów o trzech premierach, którym wyznaczono wspólną datę na 17 maja. Oczywiście bieżącego roku. Nadążacie Mili Państwo? Sporo tego, prawda? Ja nadążam, niestety mój portfel nie bardzo. Zostawmy jednak narzekalstwo i popatrzmy na okładki tychże płyt.
Nietrudno domyślić się, że wszystkie poniższe tytuły będą pod polskim patronatem firmy Mystic Production, gdyż tylko tej firmy produkty szczególnie reklamuję na swym blogu.
No to po kolei:

THE
STORY
It’s
A.D. 2055 and most big cities of planet earth are either flooded with
tsunamis or destroyed by
earthquakes and fire. The whole infrastructure and communication
system has broken down. The destruction is total. A small group of
survivors leaves for a quest to find a sacred place known as “The
Land Of New Hope”. It is an old fairytale that has been told since
decades but very few has actually ever believed of its existence.
They travel far on a journey that is full of dangers and come across
a seer who guides them further. She explains to them that “The Land
Of New Hope” does exist but it is guarded by a Keeper and only
those who are pure in heart can pass him. They wander further towards
their ultimate destiny….
THE
ALBUM
Former
Stratovarius
main
songwriter and guitarist, Timo
Tolkki has
been silently preparing his musical revenge. Following a call in the
summer 2012, from Frontiers Records President Serafino Perugino,
Tolkki quickly cancelled all plans and started writing a new album
from scratch following an original concept discussed years ago
between the artist and Perugino. The idea was to have a magniloquent
metal / rock opera with some cinematic orchestrations to bring back
the Stratovarius original sound in a more symphonic and grandiose
fashion. Tolkki managed to gather some of the most renowned singers
around, with particular focus on one of the most talented young
female singers Elize
Ryd
(AMARANTHE)
who
has the lion’s share of the lead vocals on the album. With
Frontiers full support and Serafino Perugino’s executive
production, “The Land of New Hope” opens a new chapter in
Tolkki’s career and perspectives, with the artist regaining full
artistic credibility with his own music and performances.
A
stunning artwork was specially created for this project by Stanis
W. Decker which
will be released in 2 versions – regular cd and deluxe edition with
a 30 minutes documentary “making of the album” and 2 promotional
videoclips.

reedycje płyt grupy BURNING RAIN
Burning
Rain is a heavy melodic rock band established in 1998 and features
guitarist extraordinare Doug Aldrich. Aldrich formed Burning Rain
after meeting singer Keith St
John through mutual friends and the two set off to compose a debut
album to remember!
“Burning
Rain” released shortly after in 1999. The album was rounded out by
Ian
Mayo
on Bass and Alex Macarovich on Drums. This first record established
Burning Rain as a hungry yet seasoned group of musicians. Although
the album was limited in its release worldwide it did in fact receive
rave reviews by fans and critics alike. Songs like “Smooth
Locomotion” and “Cherry Grove” showed a heavy blues influence
while songs such as “Making My Heart Beat” and “Cant Turn Your
Back On Love” showed a much more melodic side. Throughout the
record, it showed an intense vocal performance by Keith St John and
blistering guitar work that has become a signature of Aldrich. The
record ends with the driving “Seasons Of Autumn” which leaves the
listener wanting more.
In
2000 more is what we got. A lot more in fact. The Band released its
follow up record
“Pleasure To Burn” with the same cast of musicians. This time
while composing, the band went for a deeper more diverse sound that
also incorporated some use of stringed instruments on several tracks
such as the albums cornerstone “Judgement Day”. This type of
songwriting showed a matured Aldrich-St John collaboration and gained
even higher marks than the first album. Still there were the tracks
like “Fireball” and “Stone Cold” and “Crazy” that leaves
the listener invigorated with the fierce riffage Aldrich laid down on
the first record, but also showed a much more delicate side with
songs like faithfully your in which St John shines like a star. Now
these two long out of print records are now finally available via
Frontiers Records. The newly packaged records feature two bonus
tracks each and a must fans of the band.
In
2001 Aldrich left to join the band Dio, Featuring the late great
Ronnie Jams Dio and St John Joined forces with guitar innovator
Ronnie Montrose. St John stayed with Montrose for 10 years singing
the classic Montrose hits like no one before him. Aldrich left Dio in
2003 and was approached by David Coverdale to join a newly reformed
Whitesnake.
Aldrich
is still a vital and current member in Whitesnake. After co writing
and co producing several projects including 2007 Good To Be Bad and
the 2010 Frontiers release Forevermore, Aldrich surely is leaving his
mark in the great history that David Coverdale started in 1978.
Aldrich has dedicated the last decade to helping Coverdale move
Whitesnake forward and has received extremely favorable reviews for
his efforts with the
band.
The team of Coverdale- Aldrich has proven to be extremely fruitful as
the two have composed two top 40 records together.
Back
in 2004 Aldrich signed Burning Rain to a recording contract for a 3rd
album to be
released with Frontiers with the intention of working on the album
when WS was on hiatus. That never happened. Doug was working full
time with David on tours and various projects so there was no real
time for a new Burning Rain record. That is until now!
Meet
finally the long long awaited 3rd record for Doug Aldrich, Keith St
John and Burning Rain: “Epic Obsession”. This is what it had
become from the first notes were composed, to just before the time
leading up to the final mixes of the album. Co Produced by Aldrich-St
John, the album picks up where Burning Rain left off, still
delivering hi intensity Melodic blues based rock with big riffs and
hooks. The boys have learned a trick or two from the various bands
that they have been involved with. “Epic Obsession” is an
extremely well balanced record showing the diversity of songs that
make a record listenable over and over. It is the most complete
record for the band to date. The revamped team of Aldrich-St John
recruited Sean McNabb (Dokken, Quiet Riot) on Bassguitar and backing
vocals as well as Matt Starr from Ace Frehley band on drums. EO
features several guest musicians. Most notably the Briian Tichy and
Jimmy D’Anda
Ex
Bullet Boys on Drums.
Describing
the record is almost too typical. It goes down some similar and some
unfamiliar
roads, but he best advice is to check it out for yourself If there is
to be a classic recording for 2013, Epic Obsession from Burning Rain
could be one. It has always come down to the songs. This record has
‘em. Also included are two bonus tracks most notably a BR version
of the Zep classic “Kashmir”.
