Soren

This limited Mediabook edition adds a bonus DVD which features a 'Making Of' segment, plus 'Ready For Boarding,' documenting the band's adventures on the high seas at the 70,000 Tons of Metal Cruise! (2012)

The second strike shows the band still strong, powerful and with some really fine songs. Of course the musicians are not what we call "newcomers", so you can expect excellent musicianship and a good production. Attention Maiden fans, this is a must for all of you out there.

Phenomenal first solo studio disc by this amazing gifted guitarist/vocalist from Denmark who is best known as the prolific leader/founder of the awesome power trio: Blindstone. Includes 10 tracks of outstanding, world-class, powerful, killer, retro-sonic, blues-based, total heavy guitar excellence that lands down hard with exceptional musical brilliance. Martin J. Andersen has arrived & landed rock solid to the core as a solo artist and has achieved true guitar rock greatness on the aptly titled, amazing beyond belief Six String Renegade disc. From start to finish, Andersen kicks our asses hard with his brain-damaging brand of high-voltage, electrified, guitar rock riffage/mojo. An excellent mix of vocal + instrumental tracks, the Six String Renegade disc finds the axemaster exploring his Blindstone + deep hard rock musical roots which always land with an ever-loving, vintage, blues-based, guitar rock vibe.

This reissue of a 1993 live album was never intended to memorialize Townes Van Zandt (in the saddest of posthumous ironies, its Sugar Hill sleeve includes a phone number to call for bookings), but it'll do for now. Originally released by Sundown, a tiny Austin indie with limited distribution, the 17-song set finds Van Zandt in fine form – upbeat, gracious, apparently sober – and in good company, with fiddler Owen Cody and guitarist Danny Rowland adding a dimension of musical enhancement that never overwhelms the nuances of the material. As anyone who ever saw Van Zandt fall off a stool recognizes, there was no such thing as a typical Townes performance, but when he was good, no one working in the Texas troubadour tradition has ever been better.

"A Safe Look In Mirrors" continues in the same musical territory as "Vague Visions"; solid heavy metal. The band sports a galloping metal sound that is both heavy and melodic at the same time. Once again guitarist, Benny Petersen, lets loose some raging guitar solos, Brian Rich's vocals are powerful, and the song writing is strong and memorable. Rich's vocals with Jackal and Narita are like Tate's vocals with Queensryche, or Dickinson with Maiden.
