Winterlong is the brainchild of Thorbjörn Englund. Proving to be purveyors of some of the finest neo-classical Nordic power metal to have come out of Scandinavia in the 21st century. The band went through a series of line-up changes yet retained their own identifiable sound for their first 3 albums before changing track to a heavier style of metal for their fourth (and to date last) album ‘Metal/Technology’. “Longing For Winter” sees tracks compiled from the bands career and along with 4 previously unreleased tracks from the bands archives makes this an ideal starting point for anyone that has yet to sample the Winterlong sound.

 John Jeff Touch is one of the most promising singers of Europe. Expressiveness, wide vocal range and a big variety of sound colours characterise his singing. “First Touch” is the beginning of John Jeff Touch's solo career.  The album is a collection of melodic / experimental rock numbers with impressive vocals and solos; combined with a unique atmosphere where the arrangements transcend the listener into another place. Each song has its own colour and mood and is a different part of John Jeff Touch and his life.  The last few years have seen John composing and arranging his own material which is now released as “First Touch”. A collection of memories from John’s life was the inspiration and is now released for the first time and distributed by Lion Music.

“Above, Below & Beyond” was Jennifer’s debut solo album and saw her garner major press attention in the worlds leading guitar and rock press. Home to devastating technique, a unique touch and individuality the album is rightly regarded as one of the premier guitar instrumental offerings ever recorded.

“Jennifer Batten’s Tribal Rage - Momentum” CD was a labour of love which was developed over a period of several years. “Momentum” is a hybrid of rock and very exotic sounds, including African percussion, Australian didgeridoo, Caribbean steel drums and Scottish bag pipes all wrapped up in a inviting album of diverse influences and sounds.

Hot on the heels of last years “Retoxed” comes the long awaited reissue of Swedish melodic rockers House Of Shakira long out of print yet highly sought after third album “III”.  “III” saw the early House Of Shakira sound as displayed on the bands classic debut “Lint” and follow up “On The Verge” pumped up a little more with even more infectious songs delivered with world class precision, passion and energy that have since gone on to be the bands trademark. Many of these tracks heard on “III” have gone on to be HOS live favourites and now thanks to demand from fans worldwide the album is available once again with the added bonus of a “limited edition” 11 track multi camera live DVD “Live At Sweden Rock Festival 2006” featuring a “best of” song selection from the bands catalogue of work on July 18th 2008 via Lion Music.
