AEONSGATE - Pentalpha (NEW*EPIC DOOM METAL MASTERPIECE*MATS LEVEN*CANDLEMASS) - 13 Euro
The Church Within Records 2014 - EPIC DOOM METAL Masterpiece ! Aeonsgate is a Doom project and it may become a cult . This first record called "Pentalpha" is a one hour long song that tells a sad, romantic and very heavy -doomy story of someone's first minutes of death.
Aeonsgate is the brainchild of Jondix (guitar player and founder of Great Coven, EIght Hands for Kali and Ätman-Acron). This time he is surrounded by amazing musicians. Mats Leven ( Krux, Malmsteen, Therion, Candlemass,...) is the singer and his agonic and beautiful voice makes the song as sad and dark as you can get. Joseph Diaz is the mysterious bass player who played before with the likes of Graham Bonnet, Bobby Martin,...) And finally Marco Minneman (Kreator, Necrophagist, Steven Wilson,...) on drums playing in a trance inducing sabbathic progressive way strange in this musical genre. This doom opera song mixes 70's, neoclassical and oriental elements and will be remembered as 2014 Doom's ultimate epitome . A lot of doom cliches and full of surprises, this record will change you forever... For Fans of Candlemass, Sorcerer, While Heaven Wept, Warning, Rainbow, DIO, Black Sabbath (DIO/TONY MARTIN ERA)

KENN NARDI (Anacrusis) - Dancing With The Past DCD (NEW*US TECH/THRASH METAL) - 19 Euro
Divebomb Records 2014 - Fantastic Comeback Album of this US Tech/Thrash/Prog Metal Legend !
As the guitarist/vocalist/producer and chief writer, arranger and lyricist of Anacrusis from 1986-1993, KENN NARDI was widely recognized as one of heavy metal’s most forward-thinking musical minds. After releasing four albums between 1998 and 1993 with Anacrusis, KENN NARDI went the solo route under the Cruel April moniker in 2006, weaving acoustically-driven material that was free of any genre expectations looming over his head.
On his new album, Dancing With The Past, KENN NARDI has brought together all of the signature elements of Anacrusis’ sound, and melded them with the more streamlined songwriting approach of Cruel April. The result is a 2-CD collection featuring 28 brand new recordings of songs written as far back as 1994. The collection also features material borne from collaborations with KENN NARDI’s former Anacrusis band mates during their 2009-2012 reunion run. Clocking in at over 2 1/2 hours, Dancing With The Past keeps true to the avant-garde spirit that made KENN NARDI’s songwriting and his former band so thrilling while pushing the songwriting and compositional boundaries even further. Quite simply, Dancing With The Past promises to be the album Anacrusis fans have waiting for only full of surprises they never expected.
