Backup Planet

Their sound draws from so much you’ve heard before—‘70s rock and funk, high-energy improv, a touch of pop, a sliver of metal. But the members of this group mix and match those elements—with just a hint of modern tech to burnish a sturdy nucleus of retro-minded organ and guitar—in ways that never fail to astonish.

Visions Of Atlantis

Die heimischen Symphonic Metaller Visions Of Atlantis präsentieren ihr neues Album "The Deep & The Dark",ein kraftvolles und perfekt in Szene gesetztes Opus Magnum.

"The Deep & The Dark" setzt die Segel erneut in Richtung maritimer Mythen und dem ewigen Traum des versunkenen Kontinents.Die vielschichtige und bezaubernde Stimme von Clémentine Delauney stellt im Duett mit dem klassischen Power Metal-Organ Siegfried Samers die Spitze des Symphonic Metal-Eisbergs dar, der vom bombastischen Titeltrack über folkigem Flötenwerk bis hin zum Up-Tempo-Kracher alle Facetten des Genres abdeckt. Auch eine betörende Ballade findet sich in Form von "The Last Home", das zu den absoluten kompositorischen Sternstunden der Österreicher zählt.

Rausch

At long last, Rausch release their second full-length album; "Book II". Heavy-hitting contributions come from the likes of Mark Zonder (Fates Warning), Ryo Okumoto (Spock's Beard) and second Shadow Gallery mainstay, guitarist Brendt Allman. Picking up where the s/t debut left off, it remains painfully vulnerable and autobiographical of the band's trials and tribulations along the way. Things are "even more deep and dark" this time, observes the returning Rich Mouser who (along with Bumblefoot) applauds the "Queen-on-steroids" diversity running throughout. Lead-off single "Greener Grass" is adventurous and catchy; "Irked" at times flirts with jazz; "The End" is a nearly 10-minute atmospheric musical tapestry picking right up where Pink Floyd left off; the head-splitting "Speechless" shows the band clashing with Metallica-sized demons; and joining "Good Day" is 2nd Ivory-produced track "Swansong" which, by notable contrast, offers a glimpse of something completely unexplored up until now: optimism.
