Matthew Parmenter - Horror Express (2008)



Four years in making, 'Horror Express' differs a lot from ANY Prog album of today. Prog-Metal/Modern- Prog tendencies? None. Retro-Prog filled with cliches and filler in order to reach 79 min of playing time? Wrong again. Best DISCIPLINE traditions combined with singer-songwriter attitude? You've hit it!!!

Starting from 'In the Dark', album carries you into Darkness just like that express mentioned in the title. 'In the Dark' is easily the best song on the whole record, just like 'Now' was on 'Astray' - dark, sincere, dramatic and epic. Then shorter songs follow, from utterly dark 'O Cesare' to unusually poppish 'Escape into the Future', with 3 instrumentals following each other, different in moods and tempo, sounding just like sections of a certain trilogy. 'Monsters from the Id', piano-driven killer, changes to 'Polly New', disturbing and sinister epic. 'All Done' is a future classic, another track that can be compared with best DISCIPLINE pieces, is a pre-last one. 'The Cutting Room', nervous and biting instrumental, ends this close-to-masterpiece album.

Matthew has grown in terms of songwriting; I mean, this is the closest thing to singer-songwriter stuff I heard from him. Some Dark Folk thrown in instead of Psychedelic/Blues influences that were on 'Astray', but I don't think Matthew cares for tags to pigeonhole his music. One of the best Prog releases from this year so far, 'Horror Express' is dark and moody. Don't dare to miss it! Highly recommended

Dracula - Swing Of Death (2015)



Personnel:

Jorn Lande – Lead Vocals
Trond Holter – Guitar
Bernt Jansen – Bass
Per Morten Bergseth – Drums

Album koji je izazvao mnoge fanove melodic-rocka da promene misljenje o ovoj vrstu muzike. Nije da je saradnja izmedju super-pevaca Jorn Lande i Vig Vam gitariste, nesto neuobicajeno, ali misli da niko zaista nije ocekivao da iz te saradnje izadje rok opera, odnosno konceptualni album zasnovan na legendi o Drakuli. U celini, album izgleda potpuno jednostavno, uprkos prvorazrednom muziciranju i fantasticnim vokalnim nastupima, a to je sasvim dovoljno i vredno da se album saslusa, za vecinu ljubitelja Jorn Lande, Trond Holtera kao u Vig Vama.
