Risk v

The partnership between founding Survivor member and Ides of March Grammy Award-winning songwriter Jim Peterik and singer Marc Scherer started in 2010 when Peterik, impressed with Scherer's vocals, started composing an album designed to showcase Marc's talent. The result is a collection of songs that fulfil their promise to be the perfect vehicle for Marc's 4-octave range a voice of astonishing clarity and strength…

Frank Nuyts is a force of nature. A Belgian composer with classical roots who flirts with jazz, progressive rock and Zappa bite. "Radical Risk" is perhaps his most exemplary mestizo work in the unification of all these musical worlds. Supported by his oustanding musicians (the three D's: Dhaene, Deldaene and Debruyne) and reinforced by the excellent pianist Liang-yu Wang, the result is an absolute storming piece of work that feels relevant and groundbreaking. Truly astounding and an absolute revelation on numerous levels, “Radical Risk” is an absolutely engrossing effort and one of those records that tells you everything you need to know about Frank Nuyts and why he’s remained a vital force in the landscape of "radical music". Issued by áMARXE, the predilect son of Margen Records. Just about as essential as they come and nothing short of a ten out of ten.This one is not to be missed.

When German Prog veterans Hanspeter Hess (The Heal-ing Road), Dominik Wimmer (Sweety Chicky Jam), Chris Grundmann (Cynity) and Markus Roth (Marquette, Hori-zontal Ascension) decided to join forces for a Progressive Rock project, there was no doubt what to expect: full steam ahead instrumental roller coaster rides. But this is no unfocused Fusion noodling by any means. Melody, power, heavy riffs and diversity come to the fore. Astounding album! They continue where Liquid Tension Experiment have stopped a long time ago.
