Nilsson Valter: Högsbo Riviera 2026 [Digipack / CD]

Elegant Weapons return with their sophomore studio album, Evolution. This quartet of lifelong musicians- guitarist Richie Faulkner [Judas Priest], vocalist Ronnie Romero [Rainbow, MSG], bassist Dave Rimmer [Uriah Heep], and drummer Christopher Williams [Accept]-have rallied around a collective vision. They've architected a signature style sealed tightly by unforgettable riffing, surgically precise solos, bold grooves, and skyscraping hooks. The world got its first taste of Elegant Weapons with the release of Horns For A Halo in 2023. Exhibiting both a craftsman's attention-to-detail and an innate knack for arena-ready anthems, Elegant Weapons have rapidly progressed in real-time as they push forward again on their second full-length offering, the aptly titled Evolution. Featuring "Evil Eyes," "Generation Me," and the lead single "Bridges Burn," Elegant Weapons have evolved into their most dangerous and dynamic effort thus far.

Nilsson Valter: Bland de gyllene... 2026 [Digipack / CD]

In Somnolent Ruin captures the essence of a band that no longer needs to prove anything - and yet still does. Active since the mid-1990s and having released their debut album, Where Lovers Mourn, in 2003, DRACONIAN have continuously demonstrated their unmatched ability to craft otherworldly doom melodies and searing heavy instrumentation, complemented by lyrics that read like poetry. Their art cuts deep, compelling listeners to confront their inner demons, wander through the darkest shadows, and even embrace emotional numbness, only to emerge with a sense of inner peace. This album confronts listeners with life's hardest questions, exploring feelings of alienation and the search for direction in unfamiliar territory.

1970-talet var musikmässigt "variationernas årtionde". I jämförelse med tidigare (och nog även senare) decennier - uppstod och utvecklades här en större mångfald gällande musikstilar. <br/><br/>Sverige var högst närvarande i denna utveckling. Det blandades friskt i det svenska musikutbudet av: disco, glamrock, progg, soul, funk, hårdrock, folkmusik, dansband, revival-rock'n'roll, singer-songwriter, punk, reggae, power-pop och mycket mera.<br/><br/>Via dubbel-CDn "SWEDISH ROCK & POP + Alternative 1970-1979" guidas vi runt av 40 legendariska artister - i det decennium där den musikaliska atmosfären både var levande och kreativ. Möjligen har inte den svenska 70-talsmusiken låtit så bra som här och nu!?!

Soord Bruce: Ghosts in the park 2026 [Digipack / CD]

The new HARDLINE album 'Shout' sees the band helmed by American vocalist Johnny Gioeli (Axel Rudi Pell, Crush 40) and his Italian team mates, keyboardist Alessandro Del Vecchio (Vanden Plas, Jorn), guitarist Luca Princiotta, bassist Anna Portalupi and drummer Marco Di Salvia, take up where their 1992 Melodic Rock masterpiece "Double Eclipse" left off.<br/>"Our current album features our typical choruses and the classic songwriting style of 'Double Eclipse', supported by a contemporary production and state-of-the-art sound. The album gives you that feeling you get when you roll down your car window and turn up the radio on full blast," says Johnny Gioeli, describing the ten new songs. He adds: "This band doesn't want to reinvent its music. Hardline are Hardline, and our fans know what to expect from us!"<br/>FOR FANS OF: Journey, Axel Rudi Pell, Dokken, Scorpions, Pretty Maids, Michael Schenker, Europe
