BLACKMORE'S NIGHT - Under A Violet Moon (Limited Edition)

Richie Blackmore is one of the best guitar players of the world, but it looks like he has forgotten heavy music for good. In this second release with his new band he continues  from where his first stopped, playing Renaissance inspired music, full of acoustic instruments, with the help of his new amore Candice Night (who sings in the album). Many songs are inspired from traditional songs, while Richie proves that he is capable of playing any instrument that has strings. Nice melodies, mellow and sweet vocals by Candice, but somehow after a while you get tired of it. The lyrics are dealing with heroes and stuff from that period of time and they are somehow poetic. To be honest I missed his "electric" days.

RAMMSTEIN - Sehnsucht

There's not a big precedent for German bands succeeding in the United States, the '80s bombast-rock of the Scorpions notwithstanding. Rammstein, however, may be the macho men to get the job done, at least in a concert setting. Decidedly Teutonic and militant in sound and lyrics--they sing in German and their commanding semi-industrial metal is compelling--Rammstein garnered rock-radio airplay for the catchy sing-along "Du Hast," which translates here as "You Hate" and bears a striking musical resemblance to the Golden Earring tune "Twilight Zone." While Sehnsucht's 11 songs are solid, it's the live shows where everything gels. There, KISS pyrotechnics and disturbing NIN-like images, for example, complement Rammstein's forceful music. Without the visual stimuli, Sehnsucht (which means "longing") is still a strong effort, but live is where the album's Germanic gems really shine.
