Das 12-Track-Set ist die jüngste Erweiterung eines Katalogs, der 1972 mit Whatever’s For Us begann.
Diese LP begründete die herausragende Karriere, die zu MBE- und CBE-Auszeichnungen, Ivor Novello und
BASCA Gold Badge Awards für Songwriting, BRIT- und Grammy-Nominierungen, zahllosen Ehrentiteln
und vielem mehr geführt hat. Wie üblich in ihrer jüngeren Geschichte ist das neue Album ein Triumph der
Selbstständigkeit, das Joan komplett selbst geschrieben, produziert, programmiert und aufgenommen hat.
How Did This Happen... wird von Armatradings Legionen von Anhängern und neuen Fans gleichermaßen
schnell als Meisterklasse im Songwriting und bei den Aufnahmen anerkannt werden. Auf einem Bett
aus Melodien und Arrangements, die abwechselnd unmittelbar und subtil sind, webt sie einen lyrischen
Wandteppich, der sowohl individuelle als auch universelle Themen mit ihrer charakteristischen Gewandtheit
und ihrem leichten Charme berührt, ganz zu schweigen von zwei aufsehenerregenden Instrumentalstücken.

"Hevn III emerges from the shadows of Norway’s underground with a debut album that is nothing short of a sonic assault. This relentless black metal offering is a testament to the trio's pitch-black sovereign hatred, channeled through raw, primal aggression. Drawing on themes of hatred, magick, misanthropy, and the philosophical musings of Blake, Nietzsche, and Crowley, Hevn III crafts a soundscape that is both chaotic and deeply unsettling. For those who have encountered Hevn III live, the sheer intensity of their performance is unforgettable. Their sound harks back to an era when black metal was raw, dissonant, and unfiltered, characterized by a tight, sulphurous noise that gnaws at the soul. This debut album plunges listeners into a world where dissonance is king, and every riff resonates with venomous intent. Hevn III isn’t just an album; it’s a ritual of misanthropic fury, destined to leave a lasting scar on the black metal landscape."

Since its original release in 1980 to generally indifferent reviews, Bauhaus" debut album has grown in stature and is now appreciated as an innovative foundation stone of "Gothic" music. Peaking at number one and remaining on the UK "Indie" chart for over two years, this dynamic collection defies categorisation, offering an incendiary tinderbox of driving jagged rhythms, screeching guitars, brooding atmospherics, provocative lyrics and wildly animated vocals.

In 2007, John Prine & bluegrass legend Mac Wiseman teamed up for a duet album of their favorite country, folk, and gospel songs.

TACH! - Nach Single-VÖ das Punk/ Rock Debütalbum von PIA UNITED! Gelungene und respektvolle Coverversionen bekannter Hits und Geheimtipps plus eigene Songs! Von TON STEINE SCHERBEN über RAMMSTEIN bis zu SLIME, garniert mit eigenen Songs, die sich auf dem gleichen hohen Level bewegen. Das kennzeichnet dieses Debütalbum. Wenn man dann noch bedenkt, dass Frontfrau Frollein Höhne bei den Aufnahmen durchschnittlich 16 Jahre alt war und einen beachtlichen Teil der Gitarren- und Drumparts zu verantworten hat, kommt man nicht umhin zu staunen. Wir lernen hier eine Band kennen, die auf Traditionelles setzt, dabei aber nicht langweilt und für die Zukunft Einiges verspricht. Punk/ Rock mit Ecken und Kanten. Musikalisch und dennoch mit Drive und Feuer. Naiv, charmant, unterhaltsam. Digipack-CD oder klassich schwarzes Vinyl im Klappcover!

Oscar Smit (DJ Oscar) has been a fan and collector of, especially the latest, Christmas music
since the 1980s. As a connoisseur, he is invited almost annually by the national Dutch radio.
As a journalist, he writes for the Christmas blog Christmas A Go Go and music magazine
OOR.
“Nowadays, there are many young acts active in the Dutch underground scene that I find
original and good. I enjoy their concerts, which usually take place in small clubs. Being a
huge fan of Christmas music, I got the idea to ask a couple of my favorite young artists to
record a contemporary Christmas song. They could do this with complete freedom. Dutch
electro-garage duo De Delegatie chose to cover a song by Daniel Lohues (singer of Skik) and
Herman Finkers from 2009. The choice of the Haarlem electro-wave band Dorpsstraat 3
goes even further back. In 1976, Dutch ‘volks’singer Andre Hazes had his very first hit with
this Christmas song. The Amsterdam punky female trio Earwurms recorded a contemporary
and adapted version of ‘Jingle Bells’. Schlager punk trio Yodel Queen also includes two
women. They provide an impression of a flexitarian at the Christmas dinner. Both girl bands
are appearing on vinyl for the first time. XA4 is Xavier Boot. He has already released an
album on Philip Glass’s label and treats us here to minimal Christmas music. In contrast,
there is the maximal danceable dark-electro from the Amsterdammer Raderkraft. He has
already released a few records and is quite well-known abroad. On this record, Stippenlift,
a one-man project from Amsterdam, has the most experience with Christmas music. Every
year, he writes a new Dutch-language track, usually sad or melancholic in tone. This very
danceable song sounds optimistic for his standards. Truus de Groot is a category of her
own. She has been making music since the early eighties, in bands like Nasmak or Plus
Instruments. She is still active and proves that you can still make urgent music after such a
long time. She is an example for many young musicians. Her song is a variant of the music
from the timeless Charlie Brown Christmas film.” — Oscar Smit.

Die italienische Power-Metal-Band FROZEN CROWN veröffentlicht ihr neues Studioalbum und Napalm Records-Debüt War Hearts am 18. Oktober
2024. Mit ihrem unverkennbaren Sound aus blitzschnellen Riffs, eingängigen Melodien und unbändiger Energie konnten sie sich in den letzten sieben
Jahren in der internationalen Metalszene einen Namen machen. Nun heben sie mit ihrem fünften Album War Hearts ihr bisheriges Schaffen auf ein
neues Level und treten mit der neuen gerade mal 18-jährigen Gitarristin erstmals als Sextett auf. Die brandneuen zehn Tracks werden sie im
kommenden Herbst auf der großen Europa Tournee von Kamelot gebührend feiern.
Seit der Gründung 2017 hat sich FROZEN CROWN mit ihren bisherigen vier Alben eine treue Fangemeinde aufgebaut und überzeugt mit einer
charakteristischen Mischung aus Power Metal, Old-School Speed und Heavy Metal. Aber FROZEN CROWN beeindrucken nicht nur auf Platte, sondern
auch auf namhaften Festivals wie dem Sabaton Open Air, Metal Fest Plzen und Rock Imperium Festival, spielten zwei Headliner Tourneen in Japan
und waren unter anderem als Support für Bands wie Dragonforce und Nanowar Of Steel auf ausgedehnten Europatourneen. Bisheriges Karriere
Highlight war die Skandinavien Tour im Herbst 2023 als Support für die Heavy Metal Legende U.D.O., die ebenfalls die erste große Tour für Gitarristin
Alessia Lanzone war.

Mariano Melo, also known as Marian Sarine, is a Brazilian multi-instrumentalist based in Sao Paulo, specialising in percussion and drums. His latest album, Asas Terenas, is his first under this name and started with organ recordings made with Felipe Pato in late 2019 and was completed with additional instruments added in the years that followed. Asas Terenas features a mix of rhythmic improvisations built on modal scales, combining dynamic interplay between notes and percussion. Drawing inspiration from artists like Charanjit Singh, who merged traditional North-Indian ragas with electronic music, and African organists like Hailu Mergia, it combines old and new sounds, merging spiritual elements with energetic rhythms. As Sarine himself says, Asas Terenas is a sonic mixture that moves the feet and lifts the soul, creating an experience that is both pristine in sound and transcendental on the dancefloor.
