Dream Theater - On The Backs of Angels

 

Recently released "A Dramatic Turn of Events", the new album they do progressive metal titans Dream Theater. After the departure of founding member and drummer Mike Portnoy in September 2010 gave the band auditions in an attempt to find their new drummer. Mike Mangini was the one who drew the longest drum stick. Mangini has been involved bands Annihilator, Extreme and James Labrie in the past. The new album was released on September 13, 2011, in addition will they do a world tour and will visit Sweden and Hovet, 25 January 2012.

"On the Backs of Angels" is the opening track on the new album, "A Dramatic Turn of Events", is also the first single release. In less than nine minutes long, is it more of a traditional song lengths of tunes with Dream Theater. The new single has many similarities to earlier albums, both heavy, technically impressive, in other words a well-written song. The new drummer Mike Mangini has a complete command of the drums and it's hardly that I miss Portnoy. Should be very interesting to see Mangini's interpretations of Dream Theater wide backcatalog during this upcoming world tour.

Saxon - Call To Arms

Saxon are an English heavy metal band, formed in 1976 in Barnsley, Yorkshire. The band has recently released their 19th studio album.

The new album is actually really good, there is a real force in songwriting, songs that attracts, engages and entertains. Call To Arms, is one clarion call that generations of denim and leather-clad supporters have been waiting to hear. It's pretty fascinating that on the 19th studio album can hold such high class. Biff Byfords song is completely brilliant, Paul Quinn and Doug Scarratt is really "The Power Of Steel Riffs", also Nibs Carter on bass and Nigel Glöckler on drums doing a great job on this album, Call to Arms is bang on-the-money brilliant Saxon music.

Current Deep Purple keyboardist Don Airey made a guest appearance on "When Doomsday Comes". Two of the tracks on the album were written by the band for the movie Hybrid Theory

The album artwork is derived from Lord Kitchener Wants You, a World War I-era British Army recruitment poster. The US digipack version of the album is featuring a seven track bonus disc containing Saxon's performance at Castle Donington in 1980.

A music video was made for the title track, and was released on 5 August 2011 Which may also be today's Tune Of The Day. The "Call to Arms" album was released the 3 June, 2011 in Europe.

Todays tune "Call To Arms" is a typically British rock ballad, that follow the traditional recipe, enjoy!

Primus - Hennepin Crawler

 

How hard it is to describe the band Primus, or even try to make a simple description of their music? Well I'll give it a try. This is a mix of Funk-rock, Progressive metal, Humor, pop, psychedelic-folk, Have I covered everything now? Les Claypool takes without shame all of it and in their blender and create something that come through the twisted marriage of cheese humor and pork-funk. Haha that wasn't a simple description.

The band's former creative landmarks such as the "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" and "Pork Soda." Are two records that simply must be part of a well-stocked collection of music, which I would also like to add this new record. I will not write a full review on their new album, can only say that the Green Naugahyde is a trainwreck of entertainment. A really fun and bouncy playhouse of Primus.

The album's title comes from the lyrics to the song "Lee Van Cleef", which describe a group of friends watching movies featuring Lee Van Cleef and Clint Eastwood, and driving a yellow Studebaker with a green Naugahyde interior.
