More than three decades into an extraordinary career, Swedish progressive rock pioneers The Flower Kings return with HOPE, their 18th studio album and one of the most ambitious statements of their storied journey. Balancing refined musicianship with fearless creativity, the album is both a celebration of the band's legacy and a bold leap forward, embracing the grand, cinematic scope and adventurous spirit that have made them one of progressive rock's most beloved acts.
HOPE features a rich collection of expansive compositions, including the epic 30-minute centerpiece "The Gods of Rome." Drawing on themes of power, conflict, human ambition, and the state of the modern world, the album reflects on an era marked by division and diminishing empathy while ultimately delivering a message of optimism, compassion, and renewal.
Rather than chasing contemporary trends, The Flower Kings remain committed to the organic, melodic sound that has defined them throughout their career. The result is an immersive listening experience filled with soaring melodies, virtuosic performances, lush arrangements, and moments of genuine emotional depth.

Brooklyn-based English songwriter Fenne Lily enters a new chapter with 'Win Win', her fourth album and first release with Nettwerk Music Group. Catalysed by a crisis of confidence after feeling alone in an alien place, 'Win Win' was written in the aching space between hopelessness and the cure. Across the album she turns heartbreak and self-doubt into songs that are raw yet carefully built, carrying the directness, dry humor, and emotional intelligence that have long defined her writing. Lead single "Uh Huh" traces the strange relief of realizing that loss does not end you and that another life can still take shape, when pain is still present but no longer in charge. With grounded grooves, country-leaning textures, and a live band sound that feels strong, sure, and lived-in, 'Win Win' is a record about coming back to yourself with the lights on. 'Win Win' is pressed on Moss vinyl with a printed lyric inner sleeve.

René "Ash" Wagner has driven Nargaroth as a singular vision since 1996, working out of Saxony, Germany, within the raw, uncompromising tradition of German black metal. Across three decades the project has cycled through eras without ever settling, and these two EPs, recorded in the same session as Geliebte des Regens, belong to that same classic-era stretch of the catalogue. Rasluka Part II arrived in 2002, Part I followed in 2004 after it's own planned release fell through, and only in 2010 did the two finally appear together the way Wagner had intended from the start, a mourning-driven pair united as one record rather than left as scattered fragments. Both EPs are dedicated to a former bandmate who died by suicide in 1995, and that loss sits at the centre of everything here, plainly and without embellishment. Part I is the angrier of the two, guitars and vocals pushed into a more open, hateful mix; Part II slows into something more melodic, closer to a pagan kind of desolation. The instrumentals were tracked in a single 2001 session, vocals added separately over the following years, and the gap between recording and completion shows in how deliberately each half is paced against the other.

Tommy Lefroy has never been afraid of existential questions. From their critically acclaimed debut EP, Flight Risk, the band has captured audiences with their candor wrapped in wit. Both lyrically intimate and sonically vast, the band’s catalog is confessional and commentative, balancing irony with sincerity. They broach their biggest subjects yet on their first full length album, The Precariat.
An economic term, the precariat refers to a growing class of people facing increasing instability. “Most people we know are experiencing an unprecedented level of precarity, permeating into the collective psyche. We feel like the best we could strive for in a body of work is an unflinching capture of the moment. The Precariat felt like the perfect title, and emblem of how it feels to be alive these days.”
Recorded in Los Angeles at Blue Canyon Studios, The Precariat was produced by band members Wynter Bethel and Tessa Mouzourakis, with co-production from Stephen Sesso, and executive production by Mike Crossey (The 1975, Wolf Alice, MUNA). The album’s songs were written by Bethel and Mouzourakis, over the tenure of their friendship, across apartments and tour vans, phone calls and late night conversations. With themes of friendship, coming of age, personal and collective grief, environmental uncertainty and political decay, The Precariat offers a sonic landscape in which to contend with our rapidly changing world.
The album’s title track (largely inspired by Springsteen’s critical narratives mistaken for bleeding heart patriotism) grapples with constant exposure to global suffering, and feeling entrenched within systems that fail us. “The Precariat” disintegrates into the ‘American cities’ outro, an idea started while the band lived in London, about missing home while watching it destabilize from afar. The Precariat faces this head on – all the sheen of the American empire has worn off, and there is much work to be done.“We hope to foster an antidote to precarity – community.”

Formed in Grand Cayman during the 1970s, the group blended soul, reggae, funk, and island influences into a sound entirely their own, becoming one of the region's most beloved bands in the process.On the A-side is a gorgeous piece of sweet modern soul with ""Going Round in Circles"" - warm, uplifting and packed with the kind of effortless musicianship that makes you wonder how it stayed under the radar for so long. It's exactly the sort of record Celestial Echo was built for: soulful, timeless, and impossible not to fall for.Flip it over and things move firmly onto the dancefloor with the reggae-boogie burner ""Power"", produced by the legendary duo Sly and Robbie. Built around a heavyweight groove, tight rhythm section, and infectious hooks, it's the perfect counterpart to the sweetness of the A-side and a reminder of just how interconnected Caribbean music was during this period.As always, Celestial Echo is here to put proper soul records back into circulation, respectfully cut, properly pressed, and ready to play.

2026 REISSUE, NOW WITH JEWEL CASE PACKAGINGJazz Sabbath (1968) were considered to be at the forefront of the new English jazz movement. Their self-titled debut album would be released on 13 Feb 1970, but on Feb 12th founding member and pianist Milton Keanes was hospitalized with a massive heart attack; leaving him fighting for his life. The record company shelved the album and cancelled the scheduled release out of financial uncertainty of releasing a debut album from a band without it's musical leader. When Milton was released from hospital in September 1970, he found out that a band from Birmingham, conveniently called 'Black Sabbath', had since released two albums containing so-called metal versions of his songs. His recalled albums had been destroyed in a warehouse fire in June 1970; leaving only a few bootleg tapes of Jazz Sabbath's live performances as proof of existence. The master tapes, believed to be lost in the fire, were found last year. These songs will now finally be heard; proving that the heavy metal band worshipped by millions are in fact nothing more than musical charlatans, thieving the music from a bedridden, hospitalized genius.

If you're a classical music lover with even a passing affection for Gershwin, this is one of those 'drop everything and listen' albums. Earl Wild, Arthur Fiedler, and the Boston Pops joined forces here in a match that could only be described as electric-and RCA's Living Stereo engineers captured it all with a warmth and immediacy that still feels astonishing today.The performances are world-class. Earl Wild was the American virtuoso who understood Gershwin not just as a crowd-pleaser, but as a serious composer. His piano sparkles in the Concerto in F-by turns jazzy, sultry, and thunderously grand. Arthur Fiedler, at the height of his long reign with the Boston Pops, provides the perfect foil: a conductor who knew how to give Gershwin's music it's swing and sparkle without ever losing it's classical backbone. Together, they make Gershwin sound both sophisticated and wildly alive.Then there's the sound. This is RCA Living Stereo at it's finest - lush but not bloated, with Wild's piano given a front-and-center clarity that makes you feel like you're seated at Symphony Hall. The rhythmic drive of 'I Got Rhythm' Variations, the sultry sway of the Cuban Overture, and the grandeur of the Concerto all come across with jaw-dropping presence. It's no wonder collectors and casual fans alike have called this one of the most thrilling of the entire Living Stereo series.If you want to hear Gershwin played with equal parts virtuosity, joy, and sonic splendor - this is the pressing you reach for.Mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original master tape, cut at 45 RPM and plated and pressed at Quality Record Pressings - makers of the world's finest-sounding vinyl LPs.

Since emerging from Italy's underground over a decade ago, Ninos Du Brasil (Nicolò Fortuni and contemporary artist Nico Vascellari) have developed a potent sound that blends live batucada percussion, electronics, punk energy, and visceral vocals sung in an imagined language. Along the way, they've built a reputation for incredibly intense and unpredictable live performances.This fifth full-length follows ""Antro Pop"", released on Codalunga / Hospital Productions in 2021 in the middle of covid lockdowns with a canceled world tour leaving the world in wait. Out of that imposed hiatus ""Orden Micelial"" began to take shape. The trademark Niños du Brasil elements remain intact: frenetic drumming, ritualistic chants, and relentless percussive intensity, while exploring new sonic territory. Most notably on ""Innaya Som,"" the duo embrace a full-blown guitar-driven rock assault, revealing the hardcore roots that have always underwritten their music.Recorded and produced by longtime collaborator Rocco Rampino, the album achieves a veritable wall of sound-dense and overwhelming, yet retaining remarkable clarity and separation throughout.Part carnival rave, part punk freak-out, ""Orden Micelial"" finds Niños du Brasil expanding their mythology without losing any of the wild energy that has made them one of contemporary underground music's most distinctive acts.

For all of the darkness, there's just as much light. Deathchant have never shied away from extremes. Their sound seamlessly oscillates from high-octane rubber-burning riffs and gravelly chants to purring feedback and melodies as expansive as the desert at night. After gathering millions of streams, earning enthusiastic acclaim, and an endless string of packed shows, the Los Angeles, CA quartet-Thomas J Lemieux a.k.a. TJ [guitar, vocals, keys, bass], Doug Stuckey [guitar, vocals], Quinn-George Camacho [bass], and Nick "Joose" McDonnell [drums]-explore life's highs, lows, and everything in between on their fourth full-length LP, KOVA [RidingEasy Records]. Named after their late friend Davey Kova, it's simultaneously a raucous send-off worthy of a Viking, an introspective look at manhood, and a dyed-in-the-wool badass barnstorming hard rock record."To me, Deathchant means very intense brotherhood and friendship," observes TJ. "I have a truly safe place to express every facet of myself. Even though we're really heavy, this is also a vehicle for me to explore softer sides of music and wear my heart on my sleeve. For the last nine years, it's allowed me to be a raw nerve. It was often brutal, because we lived our lives in the world of motorcycle culture, drugs, and partying. At the same time, I always had space for reflection. We implicitly trust one another. It's rare for a friendship-let alone a four-way working relationship. I recently became a new dad, went through a divorce, and experienced serious loss. All of these massive shifts fed into the music, making it angrier, but more revealing and intimate."Back in 2018, Deathchant began to make noise on the West Coast. The group captivated a cult-like audience with the self-titled Deathchant [2019], Waste [2021], and Thrones [2023]. They landed looks from CBS News, Angry Metal Guy, and It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine who marveled at their "combination of rumbling noise, chiming guitar melodies, bluesy boogie, NWOBHM thrash, and punk fury." Plus, they ignited the YouTube channel Jam In The Van with a fiery performance and canvased the globe on tour, playing at festivals such as Psycho Las Vegas, Desertfest Belgium, Keep It Low Festival, and SonicBlast Festival. While writing KOVA, they said goodbye to it's namesake."My best friend Davey Kova was a dude who white-knuckled life, treated each day like it was his last, took chances, rode fast, and partied hard, but he was the sweetest guy you could ever meet," sighs TJ. "It's a weird way to live, yet it's beautiful. He passed away during the writing process. The record seemed to finish itself after that. The album is a eulogy to not just Davey, but countless friends we've lost in the last couple of years.""The lyrics lined up with everything else," he says. "It's the human existence of battling addiction and living life to the fullest."Ultimately, this is the soundtrack for waking up and going full throttle in pursuit of whatever drives you.
