100 Csóknak is Egy a Vége

Razormaid Records was formed in the mid-80s by Joseph Watt and Art Maharg in San Francisco, California as a music service for club DJs. Their goal was to offer something other than just the regular versions of the pieces of music that everyone had. They created their own special versions of songs, editing and occasionally remixing the hottest club tunes being played (or about to be played) around the world.

Ride return with the 6th studio album of their career and their second since reforming in 2014 and signing to Wichita. As with their previous album, Weather Diaries, Erol Alkan was in the producer’s chair, and Alan Moulder (with Caesar Edmunds) took care of the mixing (making this the fourth Ride album he has worked on). Gathering influences from sources such as the Jean Michel Basquiat exhibition at the Barbican, and the post punk sound of The Fall and Sonic Youth, Ride have made an album which contains echoes of their earliest days as a band, while bringing these elements into 2019. Both musically and lyrically, this is clearly an album made by a band who love being back together and who are at the very top of their game.

The long-gestating follow-up to 2016's ambitious concept album Stage, Life Is But a Dream… sees Avenged Sevenfold go further down the rabbit hole with an innovative set of progressive metal epics rooted in existential crisis. Inspired by the band's dalliances with hallucinogens and the writings of French philosopher Albert Camus, the LP covers a wide swath of sonic terra firma, from punishing thrash and hardcore to operatic, Pink Floyd-esque space rock peppered with Daft Punk-inspired vocoders and lush orchestral flourishes.

The Road Is Just A Surface is the brand new album by renowned Norwegian artist Anja Garbarek. It is available in two editions, "Red" and "Yellow". The Red concept album is a dazzling and sinister soundscape that stretches for more than 70 uninterrupted minutes. On the Yellow edition, the songs have been edited and remixed to offer a different route into Garbarek's melodic pop art.
