Rema Rema - Fond Reflections - VINYL LP

GRÀB offer both, continuity and change, on their sophomore full-length InchKremessInch. The Bavarian black metal project founded by vocalist Grànt continues to revolve lyrically around tales and traditions narrated in the local dialect of Germany's southernmost Alpine state Bavaria. InchKremessInch means 'funeral feast' in that language and death plays a leading role on this album. Musically, GRÀB still feature a prominent traditional instrument of their region, the hammered dulcimer. This gets combined with particularly Norwegian strands of black metal such as early GEHENNA, ULVER, and DARKTHRONE as well as taking inspiration from German pioneers of the genre namely NAGELFAR and LUNAR AURORA. Adding to the local sonic colours are many fresh ideas and sounds that came with English guitarist Gnàst, who has replaced previous main songwriter Grain in the meantime. A host of guest musicians including members of EMPYRIUM, TRIPTYKON, and DARK FORTRESS among others has further enhanced the musical spectrum. GRÀB, meaning Inchold and greyInch in the local dialect, were conceived by former DARK FORTRESS frontman Grànt who wanted to bring a particularly Bavarian expression to black metal. The earlier collaboration between Grànt and guitarist Grain resulted in the of the debut full-length InchZeitlangInch in 2021, which channelled the black metal spirit of the early 90s much to the delight of both critics and fans. With InchKremessInch, GRÀB are infusing Bavarian black metal with new power that is bound to expand their growing empire far beyond the borders of their homeland.

2022 . Musical prodigy Rema releases his highly anticipated 16-track debut album, Rave & Roses, via Mavin Records. The album portrays both sides of Rema's personality - 'Rave' embodies his infectious energy and youth, showcasing a 21-year-old who's navigating his way through love and lust whilst enjoying life, while 'Roses' digs deeper and speaks on Rema's personal story of loss, revealing honest tales of how he often feels as though he's carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Rare is the musician who can be part of an iconic band and still manage to carve out a path of their own that's as, if not more, creatively rich and accomplished as that which made him famous. Count Gerry Beckley as one of those precious few. You will know him as half (originally one-third) of America, a troupe that celebrated it's 50th-anniversary in 2020 and enjoys a legacy of enduring hit singles, membership of the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. All well and good - and still a going concern that Beckley remains proud to be part of. Keeping the Light On The Best of Gerry Beckley takes stock of that journey. So far. The album offers a generous 20-track overview of Beckley's output - and beyond. The album also includes five previously unreleased tracks, including singles InchSelf ImageInch and Inch(I'm Your) Heart Slave,Inch that offer proof of how prodigious Beckley's output is when he's in songwriting mode. The album also includes a song originally written for America, but never-before-released, InchNorman.Inch Gatefold vinyl 2LP-set.
