Pop 1280 - Paradise - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Twenty years after the of Ameskeri, their first multi-award winning duet album, trumpet player Stéphane Belmondo and guitarist Sylvain Luc have done it again, beautifully. The two freedom-loving buccaneers reveal, with the intimate 2.0, the maturity acquired from their rich experiences, but also a preserved youth. From the very first listen, the music stimulates both the brain and the heart. Apart from the album's two covers (a piece by Philippe Sarde and another by Stevie Wonder), the original compositions are profoundly refined, whether signed by Luc or Belmondo. From the opus flows, as if from an underground spring, the improvisation, fresh and nurtured by time, of experience. The title 2.0 refers to both the 20 years since Ameskeri came out and the leap that has projected us into a society that is changing in the face of digital technology. InchOur duo dates back to the late 90s,Inch says Belmondo. InchIt was born in a Parisian club-Le Baiser Salé-where we met at 2 a.m. and, just for fun, played until dawn.Inch The of Ameskeri (1999) led to many concerts all over the world. InchIn 2017, I founded a quintet with Stéphane, the Chemirani brothers, and Lionel Suarez,Inch adds Luc. InchAfter the band's first practice, Stéphane said, 'What a thrill it is to play together again, it makes me want to relaunch the duo!' to which I responded, without hesitation, 'You know my answer!' Soon after, we started the adventure again as a duo.Inch

The Ultra Heavy Beat returns! Blending techno innovation, punk snarl, metal aggression, PARADISE is a an impactful set of dance beats, crunching guitars, & the dual vocal attack of founder Sascha K. & Lucia Cifarelli. PARADISE finds a focused, furious, fed-up KMFDM at it's finest. Standout tracks such as K-M-F, Paradise, & Disturb The Peace stand as a bold declaration of purpose, a call to action.

When four former members of much loved but sadly disbanded Finnish metal act GHOST BRIGADE got together for a conversation in their hometown Jyväskylä in late 2020, things escalated quickly into an unexpected direction that ultimately led to the birth of CERESIAN VALOT. With multiple songwriters in their new band as well as two vocalists singing in Finnish, guitarist and main songwriter Wille Naukkarinen was confident that the musical style of the new band would change all by itself. Time proved him right, with the sound of the debut album InchUumenInch (InchDepthsInch) turning out as stylistically very dynamic and multidimensional with a broad range of sound and vision that include alternative, rock, progressive, and various genres of metal among others. Written in Finnish language, the lyrics on this album circle around the theme of insecurity. While the album often sounds bleak and melancholic, it's lyrics do not only dwell in doom and gloom, but they also offer some hope and a light at the end of the tunnel - although it might appear to be rather dim. As CERESIAN VALOT include songwriters, graphic designers, producers, mixing & recording engineers, and even a mastering engineer in their ranks, it is hardly a surprise that the band employs a strong DIY-ethos. With InchUumenInch, CERESIAN VALOT embark on an exciting new musical journey that weds something old, something new, something borrowed, something dark, and a golden talent for captivating melodies in their hands Surrender to the unknown and enjoy it's beauty!
