Bloodred Hourglass - How's The Heart? - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

FOR FANS OF WHITESNAKE, DEEP PURPLE, RAINBOW, SCORPIONS, MSG, GILLAN, DIO, HEAVEN & HELLBallads play a very special role in the history of rock music. Firstly They document the emotional side of the genre and show that behind (almost) every rocker's hard chest beats a soft heart. Secondly Those quieter songs are being played by radio stations without rock-affinity - and are loved by listeners for their emotional depth. And thirdly In an increasingly hectic world, ballads offer brief moments of pause, of reflection on the essential things in life. So it's no wonder that the ballad compilations of the Axel Rudi Pell Band are an absolute success. Over 250, 000 copies have been sold of 'The Ballads I' (1993) to 'The Ballads V' (2017) alone. And nine (!) of the current Top-10 most streamed Pell songs on Spotify are ballads! More than enough reason therefore, why fans of the Bochum guitarist and songwriter regularly push for a continuation of this series. Successfully On April 21, 2023 'The Ballads VI' will be released on CD, double vinyl LP and as , as always via Steamhammer/SPV. And - as expected - the will come with a few small surprises. Not only is 'The Ballads VI' the latest edition of the popular ARP 'The Ballads' series, but also the direct successor of the studio album 'Lost XXIII', which managed to rank 2nd in German sales charts in April 2022.

Finnish powerhouse Bloodred Hourglass return with their seventh studio album, We Should Be Buried Like This, a bold and unrelenting statement from a band that has steadily evolved into one of the most commanding forces in modern death metal. Bloodred Hourglass have long stood out for their ability to merge the ferocity of thrash and groove metal with the immersive soundscapes of metalcore, alternative metal, and melodic death. Their music is as dynamic and emotionally resonant as it is heavy and entertaining - a mix that has earned them critical acclaim, a devoted international fanbase, and a reputation for explosive live performances. On We Should Be Buried Like This, the band takes their darkest, most unfiltered turn yet. Described as Incha work of end-time songs,Inch this album does not aim to comfort or explain. It's a raw, confrontational piece built around the slow erosion of hope, the fading of love, the repetition of generational mistakes, and a world defined by self-obsession, disconnection, and indifference. Guest appearances and fresh sonic elements are woven throughout, yet the band remains firmly rooted in the signature style they've spent years perfecting. The deluxe CD version includes Live With St. Michel Strings on disc two.
