Mostly pretty AOR and never too sophisticated when it gets progressive, “In Pursuit Of Memory“ offers versatile songwriting. Listening to “Flesh And Blood“ or “Supernova“ alone will easily convince you to dive into the world of ATLAS. That’s exactly how contemporary AOR in the vein of W.E.T. should sound like. Guest vocals by Sam Millar (BIGFOOT). ATLAS: Definitely a band to remember! Learn More

JEAN BEAUVOIR is back, although he hasn’t really been away. Outstanding, too, is the acoustic version of “Standing On The Corner For Ya“ at the end of the fully remastered record. Learn More

It’s a fascinating mixture of melodic rock, hard rock or rather pop-like sounds. It’s the perfect introduction to the work of JEAN BEAUVOIR. All tracks of probably one of the last true rock stars out there have been carefully remastered and at times appear in a different light. Learn More

Finest British Hardrock from one of the hottest “new“ bands around - whereas every single member is no stranger to the scene. “Love Hate Conspiracies“, the second BLOOD RED SAINTS album after the well-received “Speedway“ (2015) comes around a bit harder, which certainly goes back to the fact that a second guitar (Neil Hibbs, ex SHY) was added and the keyboards were mostly banned.

English hard/melodic rock outfit BLOOD RED SAINTS change their direction at times on their third album since the incarnation of the band which took place in 2014. But don’t be (too) afraid, they are still there, the great hooks (e.g. “Crash Into Me“, “Message To God“ or “Warrior“). Tracks like “Believer“ and “Animals“ or the powerful title track on the other hand have a more modern approach, just like the pre-album single “Warrior“. Learn More

Melodies as far as the eye can see (“She Leads You On, “The Tower“ or “Cold As My Heart“), a great combination of vocals, guitars and lots of keyboards. “At Last“ in addition to that, proves that the Swedes are able to reduce the pace and sound a bit more contemporary at he same time without denying their roots. Well produced again by Erik Wigelius (WIGELIUS). Ten timeless anthems for fans of WORK OF ART, CREYE or CODE RED. Thumbs up! Learn More

Swedish outfit CODE RED and their pure AOR are fantastic. “Incendiary“ is a true treat for lovers of keyboard-driven sounds full of melody. Frontman Ulrick Lönnquist (SAHARA) and Morgan Jensen (SWEDISH EROTICA) on guitar as well as Michael Palace (PALACE) on bass and Daniel Flores (THE MURDER OF MY SWEET, FIND ME), who also produced the record, on drums create a mighty set of fireworks. “Incendiary“, without doubt, is the AOR record of the year!

COME TASTE THE BAND from Norway obviously likes classic hard rock of DEEP PURPLE with Glenn Hughes and Tommy Bolin style, a time in the history of the British rock legend when they sounded most versatile, combining hard rock with blues and funk. COME TASTE THE BAND is a band that is around for a while but “Reignition“ is their debut album and surprisingly has got Joe Lynn Turner (ex DEEP PURPLE, ex RAINBOW) and Doogie White (ex RAINBOW) on vocals.

DA VINCI and their third effort „Ambition Rocks“, which ends a way over two decades long hiatus can easily catch up with their early sound - making this record a melodic explosion. Already the two first tracks „Vicious Circle“ and „I’ve Come All The Way“ are pretty close to perfect AOR. Learn More
