The band have toured across Europe, performing with the likes of Gamma Ray, Iron Savior, and Tygers Of Pan Tang. The root sound of LionSoul is based in power metal, however, as the band have grown and matured, they’ve incorporated some traditional heavy metal traits and are broadening their musical boundaries – as can be heard on (the bands third album) ‘A Pledge To Darkness’, released in 2022…

U.K. disco just wasn't the same after the electro-vamping two-hit wonders 5000 Volts shook up the scene in 1975. 5000 Volts was formed by two fairly well-known session vocalists, ex-Wild Honey singer Tina Charles and Martin Jay – the pair had previously worked together in a band called Northern Lights and, reunited as a duo, they recorded their first single, "Bye Love," for producer Tony Eyers, adding the Eyers-penned "I'm on Fire" as the B-side. It was that song, of course, rather than the staid A-side, which would actually make a U.K.

The four American composers on this album have all won recognition for their diverse approaches to contemporary art song. Both Emmy-nominated Craig Brandwein, in his beautiful Three Rilke Songs and Jonathan Santore in Two Letters of Sulpicia use computer generated electronics to enhance the vocal line, while Edie Hill’s setting of poems by Amy Lowell exemplifies why her music has been described as "full of mystery" (Stereophile).

Technological agitation. Narcissism fatigue. A galaxy of isolation. These are the new norms keeping Weyes Blood (aka Natalie Mering) up at night and the themes at the heart of her 2022 release, 'And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow'. The celestial-influenced folk album is her follow-up to the acclaimed 'Titanic Rising'. (Pitchfork, NPR, and The Guardian admiringly named it one of 2019's best.) While 'Titanic Rising' was an observation of doom to come, 'And In the Darkness, Hearts Aglow' is about being in the thick of it: a search for an escape hatch to liberate us from algorithms and ideological chaos.
