BJORN STIGSSON – TOGETHER WITH FREINDS 1987

All Exclusive, Hard Rock, Melodic Rock | AOR Leave a comment


Sweden Here is what Angelica Warlord had to say “Together With Friends stands the test of time as nothing less than a first-rate Christian hard rock album. When taking into consideration the quality of its songwriting in addition to the top-notch talent performing on it, I cannot help but think the album would have sold a million copies if given the same promotion as Stryper’s To Hell With The Devil. (Just my opinion.)
All around, I would rank Together With Friends a notch ahead of any Leviticus album, and, for all practical purposes, remains to this day the best project Stigsson has been association with.

Track Listing:
“Free” (1:04),
“Come On” (5:30),
“Lovin’ My Woman” (3:04),

Svetlana Bliznakova Sevi feat. Johnny Gioeli – Tomorrow 2020

All Exclusive, Melodic Rock | AOR Leave a comment


Following the music work of Svetlana and her band Sevi so far, I know that they were often on tours, that they played live. At this point in the viral pandemic, those activities have almost stopped. This will greatly reduce the “range” of the songs from this remarkable album. Again, I hope that quality will find a way to reach those for whom it is intended – the listeners that values enduring values.
