From Lurgan, Ireland we find heavy garage blues duo BONNEVILLES. With a steady hand on the distorted guitar does the tones just fly between Andy McGibbon Jr. fingers together with the metal-edged drumming of Chris McMullan.

Monday, New week, the Swedish National day (: and the Record of the Week.
For this week we will present the Swedish masters of black metal, DARK FUNERAL's latest release "Where Shadows Forever Reign".
Six years have past since the release of their latest album, finally the release of their new last friday (June 3rd) via Century Media Records. The album was recorded at the Dugout Studios in Uppsala, Sweden and produced by Lord Ahriman and Daniel Bergstrand (IN FLAMES, BEHEMOTH, DIMMU BORGIR). The amazing artwork was created by Necrolord (Behind album covers of bands like DISSECTION, AT THE GATES among many others).
"Where Shadows Forever Reign" is a strong refreshing album, where the balance between the melodic harmonies and the complex arrangements is done with an fabulous vitality. Lord Ahriman's caffeine rushed guitar work is the very blood that flows through the album along with the rhythms of Chaq Mol riffings, Ahriman's bass lines, roaring Heljarmadr’s strong dynamic vocals and Dominator’s whizz defined drumming's. The album deals with self-sacrifice and will take you on the ride through ancient realms so forlorn and cold, the majestic realm where shadows forever reign. The production is very crisp and clear, nothing seams to be lost in the mix, in other word, a triumphant release.
The album opens up with "Unchain My Soul", a mystic guitar intro, with a dark spiritual voice until it's kicks on, the riffs, the drums and vocals roars true the darkness so that every dead souls awakens. "As One We Shall Conquer" is great blast beat where the band put's in a high gear to force true the untruthful souls that stands in the way to the one and only fiendish! The album continues to line up strong tunes like "Beast Above Man", "The Eternal Eclipse", "To Carve Another Wound" and the two tunes that have been released before, the catchy "Nail Them To The Cross" and slower black metal ballad "Temple Of Ahriman". "As I Ascend" is an epic piece along with the title track "Where Shadows Forever Reign", one of the strongest tunes, where Ahriman and Heljarmadr really peaks with fantastic like a cogwheel in the flowing melody.
Sum: There is no doubt that DARK FUNERAL is back!

Extraterrestrial Live is the American hard rock band BLUE ÖYSTER CULTs third live album, released in 1982. It documents their 1981 tour in support of Fire of Unknown Origin, but includes two tracks recorded in 1980, during the Black and Blue tour with BLACK SABBATH. Midway through the tour of 1981, the band fired drummer and founding member Albert Bouchard, replacing him with roadie Rick Downey. This was the band's third live album in less than a decade. The solo on Veteran of the Psychic Wars is widely regarded by fans and critics as one of Buck Dharma's best.
In chronological order the songs were recorded at:
track 1 – Mid-Hudson Civic Centre, Poughkeepsie, New York, 11 February 1980 for a King Biscuit Flower Hour broadcasting.
track 8 – Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, New York, 17 October 1980
tracks 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13 – Hollywood Sportatorium, Hollywood, Florida, 9 October 1981
track 7 – The Country Club, Reseda, California, 15 December 1981
tracks 3, 9 – Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, New York, 30 December 1981
track 2 – Tower Theater, Philadelphia, 31 December 1981
"Extraterrestrial Live" really captures the true "flavor" of BOC live. The tunes on this recording do not fly away to far from the originals but ends up as a great document that the band duplicates well with their studio album sound to live. I do not mind alternate versions or jams during a live set, but this is very pleasant and really shows how incredibly talented that BOC really is live. The productions is nice, clean and sounds pretty well to be an oldie these days. The album contains man great tunes like the THE DOORS cover "Roadhouse Blues" where Rob Krieger joins the set. The amazing drum solo on "Godzilla" or the magic guitar playing on "Veteran of the Psychic Wars", the creapy keyboard intro on "Joan Crawford" and the mega hit "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"
Sum: A excellent live performance with BOC, a live album among live albums you need to get, buy Extraterrestrial Live!
