The VIVALDI METAL PROJECT is a music creation born from an idea conceived and developed by Italian keyboard player, composer and producer MISTHERIA (solo artist, Bruce Dickinson, Rob Rock, Roy Z, Artlantica). The project is a symphonic-metal opera based on Antonio Vivaldi’s Baroque masterwork “The Four Seasons”, featuring more than 130 amazing metal and classical artists, orchestra, a string quartet and three choirs from all over the world. The album features 14 tracks - all the movements from Antonio Vivaldi's original score plus two original new songs written by MISTHERIA. The impressive roster of artists probably makes this titanic album the biggest all-star project ever!
Creation’s End the new Power/ Progressive Metal band featuring vocalist Mike DiMeo (Riot, Masterplan), guitarists Rudy Albert (Zandelle), Joe Black (Chris Caffery) and Marco Sfogli (James Labrie). A New Beginning unites strong melodies with dark and brutally heavy Power Metal as well as a slight touch of prog. Recommended if you like Savatage, Dream Theater and Masterplan.
PFM aggiunge un nuovo entusiasmante capitolo alla sua discografia: i concerti filologici. Denominatore comune del progetto è la rilettura dei primi cinque dischi in un percorso musicale di ricerca e di riscoperta delle radici della band con un'esecuzione accurata, fedele e ricca di energia espressiva come PFM sa garantire nei suoi concerti. Le registrazioni sono avvenute il 30 e 31 maggio di quest'anno in due location di prestigio quali Dome City Hall e Shibuya Duo Music Excange, nel cuore di Tokyo. Il successo di pubblico ha confermato lo straordinario contenuto artistico delle performance.
Hidden Dimensions is the final album of the polish Prog star Widek. It features David Maxim Micic, Paul Wardingham and others.
The Road Home is a cover album by Jordan Rudess. It was released on September 12, 2007. Rudess's arrangements of these classic prog tracks include many sections that were not in the original songs, especially solos. Track 5 is the only original piece. The Road Home is both homage and crowning achievement in prog rock’s great exploratory tradition. Just as Emerson rearranged Tchaikovsky, Rodrigo, Janacek, Copland, Mussorgsky and “Lux” Lewis, Rudess decodes established classics while sculpting his own distinctive style.
