Second release from the hotly tipped Finn progressive metal outfit Status Minor.

Previously out of print, this new digipack re-release from Lars Eric Mattsson comes freshly remastered and remixed. Vocals by Bjorn Lodin (Baltimoore / Hard).
 

Back with their first album since 2005, progressive metal originals Lord Of Mushrooms returned on 27 February 2012 with their third album “Perspectives”. Now fronted by Gus Monsanto (ex Adagio), Lord Of Mushrooms is back to the front and blessed with an incredible collection of songs. “Perspectives” is, without any doubt, the most ambitious and challenging work the band has created to date.

“Perspectives” has over the last few months been picking up extremely positive praise from press and fans worldwide and now the band have just unveiled their first ever promo video for the track “Circles On The Water” on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka_-mi4C2KQ 

Taken from the aforementioned “Perspectives” release, the track has been edited down from its original 8 minute running length to make a more streamlined version of one of the album’s centre pieces.

Shredlord Joe Stump has finished work on his 8th solo album whose title will be announced shortly.

On the new material Joe reveals, “This record is heavier, darker, more classically based and technical compared to “Virtuostic Vendetta”. With every record I try to step it up and challenge myself both playing-wise and compositionally, and I’ve certainly done that with this upcoming release”.

Fans of audacious fretwork keep an eye out for further news on Joe’s upcoming new release which packs a killer six string punch.
