Theander Expression is the AOR project by Swedish guitar player Andree Theander, who started to work with the first album in 2012 and released it one year later. It was called "Strange Nostalgia" after one of the songs and got critically acclaimed around the world of melodic rock in 2013. Just over two years later the follow-up is finally here and it carries the title "Wonderful Anticipation", as a kind of an antonym to the frequently misinterpreted debut title. The record was mixed and mastered by Thomas Plec Johansson at Panic Room Studios in the end of 2015 and the result is another high class rock record with classic melodies and a modern production, ready to hit the market in 2016…
New line-up, new energy, new sound. After 3 years of musical silence, the new ERIK TRUFFAZ QUARTET is back! Marc Erbetta, the bands first and foremost drummer, left his seat to fresh and young blood embodied by Arthur Hnatek, a young musician who lived in New York and plays with groundbreaking artists like Tigran Hamasyan. New inspiration and influences color the new album, taken from a rich and scenic collaboration with the South African dans company VUYANI. Still standing at the frontier of jazz and instrumental pop, balancing between originality and accessibility the ERIK TRUFFAZ QUARTET, faithful to a tradition established since many albums, invites two world renown and award-winning voices to this recording: Rokia Traoré and Oxmo Puccino.
There’s a good reason why their cover of AC/DC anthem "It’s a Long Way To The Top (if You Wanna Rock'n'Roll)" is part of many of BlackRain’s live shows. Having formed during 2006 in the French Alps and with four self-produced albums under their belts (not to mention numerous gigs in France, Europe and Japan) this charismatic quartet know for a fact that 2016 is undoubtedly the most important year of their career to date. Free from past commitments, they now feel it’s time to “escape” to new horizons and have aptly titled their new offering “Released”…
Instrumental 4-piece Tides From Nebula are back with their new studio album Safehaven. Contrary to their former work with Zbigniew Preisner (Earthshine) and Christer Cederberg (Eternal Movement) the album is completely self-produced this time. "This is going to be our 4th release and we are extremely happy to share it with our fans", states the band. "In the past we have worked with acclaimed producers who taught us so much that this time we felt we were ready to take that task upon ourselves.

Eternal Idol were born as an evolution of Hollow Haze, a band put together in 2006 by guitarist Nick Savio (White Skull). After six internationally acclaimed albums, the band added young, rising star vocalist Giorgia Colleluori, the great Fabio Lione (Rhapsody, Angra) as co-lead vocalist, and Andrea Buratto (Secret Sphere, Hell in the Club) on bass. Musically, the debut album offers a superb slice of symphonic and classic heavy rock with a unique mix of lead vocals.
An enchanting sketch of a dancer believed to have been drawn by Auguste Rodin is at the centre of an investigation that draws the team into a recent forgery scandal that has rocked the French art establishment. Alice Thoday, a Lincolnshire resident with Belgian roots, inherited the rare watercolour from her mother and has always believed it to be part of a series of works Rodin drew of a Cambodian dance troupe which visited France in 1906. It could be worth over 100,000 if genuine - but the trouble is, Rodin is one of the world's most faked artists.
