  • ¡Gothenburg Metal a La Carta!
    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Image not found or type unknown Portada del disco Static impulse de James Labrie. Autor: Internet Publicado: 21/09/2017 | 05:03 pm ¡Gothenburg metal a la carta! Publicado: Jueves 25 noviembre 2010 | 02:34:40 am. Publicado por: Joaquín Borges-Triana, Joaquín Borges-Triana En la más reciente remesa de grabaciones foráneas que manos amigas me han hecho llegar, uno de los materiales que me ha cautivado es el álbum Static impulse, disco puesto en circulación por el sello Incide Out Music y acreditado a James LaBrie, vocalista del mítico grupo Dream Theater. Salido al mercado a fines del pasado mes de septiembre, la primera referencia favorable que tuve acerca del fonograma vino de la mano de mi buen amigo Manuel Santín Valdés y, ni corto ni perezoso, me di a la tarea de conseguir el CD. Para quienes no estén al tanto del devenir artístico de James LaBrie, les diré que además de su desempeño con Dream Theater, él se ha involucrado en proyectos tan atractivos como Explorers Club y Mullmuzzler, así como ha intervenido en grabaciones de Fates Warning, Shadow Gallery, Ayreon y en los discos tributo a leyendas del rock, entre las que cabría destacar a Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Queen y Rush. Paralelo a dicha intensa actividad en fonogramas de diversos colegas y en el quehacer de los Theater, desde 2005 LaBrie también lleva adelante su propia carrera personal. En aquel año grabó el CD Elements of persuasion, con la evidente intención de demostrarle a su público que a él le interesa asumir diversas aristas del panorama del rock y el metal de nuestros días y no solo las áreas con las que suele identificársele.

Christer comes over sounding like Anders Eklund from House Of Shakira crossed with Mark Boals and ‘Arrival to Earth’ is the breathtaking album from South David Readman from Pink Cream 69, while the song itself Bend sensations PURE STAR MOVEMENT. PSM border on is maybe a little Axel Rudi Pell in style. The Europe meets modern melodic/progressive rock influences and is rich in Masterplan crispness of ‘Dead Or Alive’ is a good melodic, diversity and heartfelt musical passion. ‘Unstoppable’ is while ‘Human’ is a little tighter with a punchy chorus and stunning commercial modern rock in style, with the vocals solid guitars in the vein of Domain and PC69. ‘Ray Of Light’ is almost like Kip Winger in the high parts. Musically the song another catchy ditty, a faster paced song, a little Royal Hunt is progressive, modern progressive rock if you will.

  • Derek Sherinian Graces November Cover
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 4, 2011 DEREK SHERINIAN GRACES NOVEMBER COVER OF KEYBOARD Current Member of Black Country Communion, and former Dream Theater Keyboardist is joined by Joe Bonamassa, Steve Stevens, Steve Lukather, Tony MacAlpine, and Simon Phillips on Recently Released Oceana Los Angeles --- Derek Sherinian has been tapped by Keyboard as a “Keyboard Hero for A New Generation.” “In the ‘70s and part of the ‘80’s, demigods like Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, and Jon Lord topped the charts and battled each other…for rock supremacy,” and closes “With each new chapter in his career, Sherinian has risen even higher into the rare pantheon of keyboard legends.” As the decades have witnessed drastic evolution in technology and significant innovations in genre-bending and sound, so too is there a widespread variance in public perception that defines a keyboard hero. Inevitably it comes down to delivering indelible compositions and performances, a quality that Keyboard sees in Sherinian’s long resume as they position his legacy well in stating, “ Where you find heavy, you’ll probably find Derek, who’s thick sounds and guitaristic approach to soloing stand as tall as the baddest of six-string slingers.” Sherinian’s latest offering Oceana was just released by Music Theories, a division of the Mascot Label Group. Sherinian has performed for millions via the vehicles of Black Country Communion (of which he is a current member alongside Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham, Joe Bonamassa), Dream Theater, Alice Cooper, Buddy Miles, and as an off-stage performer accompanying KISS. He also enjoyed tenures with Billy Idol, Yngwie Malmsteen and many others.
