The Steel Wolf

Bobby Weir and Wolf Bros‘ already memorable 2022 fall tour rolled on in Reno on Wednesday. Fresh on the heels of their landmark Kennedy Center run with the National Symphony Orchestra as well as a three-night hometown stand at The Warfield in San Francisco culminating in Bobby’s 75th birthday, the Grateful Dead guitarist and his band delivered the Wolf Bros debut of the latter-day Dead classic “Lazy River Road” during the first set.

Swedish heavy metal masters WOLF strike back with their 8th studio album "Feeding The Machine" that offers intense and addictive headbanger anthems covering the straight-up speedy attack ('Shoot To Kill'), the infectious hooks ('Midnight Hour'), the darkly melodic ('The Cold Emptiness'), and gallopping riff-fests ('Feeding The Machine')! Featuring a gloriously morbid artwork by the legendary Thomas Holm (Mercyful Fate, King Diamond), WOLF know how to deliver the goods after letting fans wait for a new opus since "Devil Seed" in 2014. Recorded at SolnaSound (guitarist Simon's own studio), mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordstrom at Studio Fredman (At The Gates, In Flames, Arch Enemy), "Feeding The Machine" is a bit of a fresh start for WOLF as vocalist Niklas Stalvind and guitarist Simon Johansson now have been joined by Pontus Egberg (King Diamond) on bass and drummer Johan Koleberg (ex-Therion, ex-Lion's Share) to bring an extra dose of reinvigorated energy and focus to the table. WOLF originally formed back in 1995 and belong to the earliest bands resurrecting and rejuvenating a traditional heavy metal sound during the 90's when ignorant folks pronounced heavy metal dead. Inspired by the likes of Iron Maiden, Metal Church, the NWOBHM, Mercyful Fate/King Diamond, Judas Priest.

"Once you heard that pinging sound you knew they had got to you, then the depth charges came. Terrible, just terrible." Kurt Wehling, u-boat survivor The steel coffins was the name given to the U-boats of the Kriegsmarine by their own crews. Their fatalistic view of the war was certainly justified; it is estimated that seventy-five per cent of the 39,000 men who sailed in the U-boat fleet paid the ultimate price as the tide of war turned inexorably against Hitler's Germany. This is the illustrated history of the U-boat war from the perspective of the men who sailed into battle in the service of the Third Reich.

Boomerang is the second studio album by British duo the Creatures (a.k.a. singer Siouxsie Sioux and musician Budgie). The album was recorded in Spain with Mike Hedges, in Jerez de la Frontera, in the southeast part in Andalusia in the province of Cádiz. It featured brass arrangements including trumpet, trombone and saxophone. Boomerang received widespread critical acclaim from British music critics, who praised Siouxsie's vocals and the choice of a wide range of musical styles on the album, including blues, jazz and Spanish styles such as flamenco. The album was later hailed by singer Jeff Buckley, who covered the song "Killing Time". The album was released to critical acclaim. NME's Roger Morton qualified it as "a rich and unsettling landscape of exotica", praising "the pre-eminence of Budgie's Spanish-tribal-jazz drumming". Simon Reynolds of Melody Maker stated that "Boomerang abounds with scarcely anticipated brilliance", qualifying it as "inventive and invigorated music".
