Impaler

There have been a number of truly stalwart power metal acts that date back to the turn of the millennium, but if both consistency of quality and of sound are measured together, few compare to the long running Australian power house that is Black Majesty…

Three classic albums from NWOBHM stalwart and former Iron Maiden vocalist Paul Di’Anno. Includes his two mid-80s albums as Battlezone where he was joined by Tokyo Blade’s John Wiggins. Plus his later band Killers, caught live in 2000.

Conjuring the feel of a bygone era in America, when neon lit the evening sky along Route 66 and a cowboy with no name rode across a Drive-In movie screen… The Westernmental Sound! It's the debut CD by longtime Boston instrumental combo The Derangers. Spooky instrumental themes, encompassing spaghetti western, surf, spy, and more. Call it desert surf or Texas surf…

The album is punctuated by three duo improvisations between Lehman and Taborn, who manage to interact in a way that feels authentic and heartfelt while staying utterly contemporary. And here again, Lehman makes a statement; demonstrating intimate familiarity with 60 years of experimental saxophone vocabulary – from Eric Dolphy and Anthony Braxton to Arthur Blythe and Evan Parker – and making a compelling case for its integration into a modern-day concept of the classic alto saxophone quartet album. The People I Love is a record that bears witness to a new openness in Lehman's music. Unedited rehearsal tapes (“A Shifting Design”) and joyous laughter at the end of a take are all left on the track – inviting the listener to take a look behind the curtain at where the music comes from. The result may be his most mature artistic statement to date.
