Thrash metal-giganterna Megadeth förbereder sig för det definitiva slutet. Nu släpps bandets självbetitlade album, som enligt grundaren Dave Mustaine blir deras allra sista studioplatta.<br/><br/>Mustaine som startade sin karriär i Metallica, och som sedan bildade världsbandet Megadeth, sätter nu punkt efter fem decennier i det absoluta toppskiktet. Med Megadeth har han sålt 50 miljoner album och haft hits som "Symphony Of Destruction".<br/>.

Swedish high energy rockers THE HELLACOPTERS have been celebrating their 30th anniversary recently and after releasing something new - the much-lauded "Overdriver" album on January 31, 2025, which reached No. 1 in the Swedish charts for the second time in the group's career - it is time to offer their dedicated fanbase something truly nostalgic. "Cream Of The Crap! Collected Non-Album Works o Volume 3" is the long-overdue follow-up in a series of rarities collections started in 2002 combining material from a myriad of singles, EPs, and compilations. The 24 tracks featured in this set have originally been released between 1995 and 2004, and include originals like 'Disappointment Blues', 'Freeway To Hell', 'Doggone Your Bad-Luck Soul' and 'Long Gone Losers' as well as many cover versions of songs by Motörhead, Wilson Pickett, MC5, Smokey Robsinson, Alice Cooper, the Ramones, the Nomads, and Adam West - whose singer Jake Starr penned liner notes for this release - and many, many more. Meticulously compiled by Robert Eriksson, transferred from master tapes and vinyl by Henke Jonsson, and remastered for maximum audio fidelity by Magnus Lindberg, THE HELLACOPTERS proudly present a stunning collection of incredible, high-octane rock'n'roll on this over 75 minutes long CD edition.

Recorded together at Benny's studio Riksmixningsverket in Stockholm, Voyage will be released worldwide on 5th November on Universal Music Group.<br/><br/>ABBA Voyage will open 27th May 2022 at the ABBA Arena, a state-of-the-art 3,000 capacity arena located at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London. Pre-registration for tickets opens at 6pm tonight on abbavoyage.com with tickets on general sale from Tuesday 7th September, see below for more detail.<br/><br/>The ABBA Voyage concert is made with the help of: Producer Svana Gisla (David Bowie Blackstar/Lazarus, Beyoncé and Jay Z for HBO, Springsteen and I), Producer Ludvig Andersson (And Then We Danced, Yung Lean - "In My Head", Mamma Mia!

Life is weird and wonderful sometimes."<br/><br/>Wayne McGregor, Choreographer: "Imagine: growing up in the North of England in the 70's and learning to ballroom, Latin and disco dance to the incredible songs of ABBA. I was 8 and I was totally transported. Fast forward to 2020, being in Sweden and dancing with ABBA - in real life! I was about to be 50 and I was totally transported again. That is the magic of ABBA. <br/>We have shared many creative and joyful adventures with a bold collaborative team to make the impossible possible for ABBA Voyage: technological wizardry, state of the art immersion and entertainment innovation. And still at its searing heart we simply have new songs, new moves, classic songs, classic moves: ABBA is DANCE and always will be. See you on the dancefloor".<br/><br/>Sir Lucian Grainge, Chairman & CEO, Universal Music Group:<br/>"From the very beginning of my career, and having had the privilege to work with them directly for many years since, it's been a tremendous joy to be surrounded by ABBA and their music. Their boundless creativity and timeless melodies makes us want to partner with them on everything they do because we know it will be simply great."<br/><br/>The music video for 'I Still Have Faith In You' has been directed by Shynola.

Melodifestivalen 2025 [2 CD]

Status Quo-ikonen Francis Rossi släpper sitt nya soloalbum "The Accidental". Till skillnad från hans senaste akustiska utflykter markerar detta en efterlängtad återkomst till det energiska,<br/>gitarrdrivna sound som gjorde honom till en legend. Albumet kom till som en ren överraskning - därav titeln. Det som började som spontant jammande i studion utvecklades snabbt till något magiskt. <br/><br/>Med "The Accidental" blandar Rossi sin klassiska rockkänsla med nytt blod. Tillsammans med bland andra medproducenten Andy Brook och Quo-kollegorna John 'Rhino' Edwards och Leon Cave, levererar han en platta fylld av spelglädje, tunga riff och starka melodier.<br/><br/>Som Rossi själv säger: "Det är högljutt, gitarrerna ligger i framkant och låtarna är grymma."
