A Perfect Day – With Eyes Wide Open 2020


A Perfect Day, also APD, side project of the Italian power metal institution Laybrinth, singer Roberto Titranti and guitarist Andrea Cantarelli plus drummer Alessandro Bissa, with their third album ‘With Wide Eyes Open’. Ten intense songs that cross metal influences with strong hard blues from bands like Black Stone Cherry or Blackberry Smoke and post-grunge elements. The lyrics are about small everyday frescos that ask the existential questions of man. Musically very playful, A Perfect Day manages to take a big step forward.

Mors Principium – Est Seven (Box-Set) 2020

With the ten new songs of the album “Seven” and their innovative Melodic Death Metal, which effortlessly manages the balancing act between old school and the new death metal guard, Mors Principium Est succeeds in shining once again. Guitar riffs, sharply cutting like a scalpel, vocally powerful, ominously pregnant growls and the songs played almost continuously at a high tempo, only briefly interrupted by a few slow passages, create a finite, brute sound, which despite all the harshness grows together perfectly with melody and melancholy.

Joe Bonamassa – Royal Tea 2020


The 43-year-old New York state guitarist was influenced early on by his father’s vinyl collection, which included albums by Eric Clapton, Cream, the Jeff Beck Group and John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers. These British blues influences have shaped him and made him the musician he is today. “I must have been about 12 years old when I first heard this sound and was immediately captivated by it. I knew right away that I wanted to be like that,” Joe recalls. “This whole London adventure,” admits Bonamassa, “was the fulfillment of a great wish.

The Tools – Remodeling 2020

There were some bands on the local scene that were beginning to make some noise in the area and one of those acts was the guitar-driven band FREEFALL. These rockers played out as often as they could, playing at all the local clubs, including the Silver Cloud, Castille, Crazy Horse, Uncle Alberts, and the Terrace Ballroom in 1979.
