Inspired Excellence

2nd concept album of Norwegian progressive rock band AVKRVST. Two years on from their spellbinding debut 'The Approbation', AVKRVST are presenting their second and most formidable album to date: 'Waving at the Sky' takes the band's compelling sounds and pushes them further towards progressive perfection. A dark and devastating concept record about real life events, it is a spiritual successor to its predecessor, and a huge leap forward on every conceivable level. The album's hazy, unsettling narrative is based on the harrowing events that took place in rural Norway when Simon Bergseth and Martin Utby were children: The seven tracks are inspired by a gruesome family tragedy about abuse that is as dark as it gets.

Super-Excellent 6th studio disc by this awesome blues/rock axeslinger from the West Coast featuring 11 tracks of world-class, killer, dynamic, blues-based, heavy guitar music that lands with true six string excellence. Dirty Dave Osti is an inspired & talented guitarist, songwriter, producer & sonic mojo man who has created & produced his finest musical effort to date. Osti is a bad-ass, righteous, riff:master who digs deep with his superb, original brand of 70s-inspired, old-school, bluesy guitar rock mojo complete with his trademark, whiskey-soaked, soul-powered vocals and nails down an exceptional set of way-kool new DDO songs that land 110% rock solid with endless amounts of strength & focus…

In their very first recording together, the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal and pianist Charles Richard-Hamelin render Frédéric Chopin’s concertos for piano and orchestra, two vibrant and poetic works that the composer wrote in his early 20s.
