2025 marks a new chapter for symphonic metal innovators Epica, with the announcement of their 9th studio album titled Aspire.<br/>For more than 20 years now, Epica have been standing tall. And while already their last efforts clearly showcased their commitment to the game, it is "Aspiral" that truly distills the very heart of their trademark sound.

Opeth är musikaliska kameleonter som ständigt utmanar och överraskar. På detta album presenterar de sin första konceptplatta; det är i efterdyningarna av första världskriget och en rik patriarks testamente visar sig avslöja mörka familjehemligheter.<br/><br/>Mikael Åkerfeldt leveverar här både den vanliga sången som vi är vana vid från de senaste albumen, men har också gått tillbaka till att growla. Tillsammans med parhästen Fredrik "Kulle" Åkesson levereras ett album som är såväl mörkt, vemodigt och ondskefullt som trollbindande och förföriskt. Albumet som har hyllats av en enig rockpress (bl.a 9 av 10 möjliga i Sweden Rock Magazine) gästas av Joey Tempest (Europe) och Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull).

Mastodon: Crack the Skye [2 CD + Blu-ray]

David Coverdale was a relatively unknown 21-year-old singer-songwriter when he joined Deep Purple in 1973. He went on to record three classic albums alongside the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers before embarking on his musical journey a few years later with his band, Whitesnake. <br/><br/>Coverdale is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his Deep Purple debut this year with a special version of The Purple Album, Whitesnake's tribute to his three-year tenure with the legendary group. This newly remixed, remastered, and expanded edition of the 2015 album features previously unreleased recordings, including the very demo that secured Coverdale's spot with Deep Purple.<br/><br/>The 2-CD/Blu-ray version of THE PURPLE ALBUM: SPECIAL GOLD EDITION goes beyond the original with the addition of live recordings and concert videos from The Purple Tour ("The Gypsy," "Mistreated"), official music videos ("Sail Away," "You Fool No One"), and an assortment of previously unreleased material, including six alternate mixes of album tracks. The Blu-ray also offers a behind-the-scenes look at the album's making and a song-by-song commentary by Coverdale.
