Aitman Hannes: Weak point (White + Poster) [Vinyl LP]

Opeth är musikaliska kameleonter som ständigt utmanar och överraskar. På detta album presenterar de sin första konceptplatta; det är i efterdyningarna av första världskriget och en rik patriarks testamente visar sig avslöja mörka familjehemligheter.<br/><br/>Mikael Åkerfeldt leveverar här både den vanliga sången som vi är vana vid från de senaste albumen, men har också gått tillbaka till att growla. Tillsammans med parhästen Fredrik "Kulle" Åkesson levereras ett album som är såväl mörkt, vemodigt och ondskefullt som trollbindande och förföriskt. Albumet som har hyllats av en enig rockpress (bl.a 9 av 10 möjliga i Sweden Rock Magazine) gästas av Joey Tempest (Europe) och Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull).

Memphis is a comprehensive collection that takes listeners through the many recordings Elvis had done while in Memphis - from his songs at SUN Records, to his American Studio and Stax sessions, through to his 1974 hometown show and finally, his last recordings in Graceland. This 5-CD collection of Elvis' songs over the years features 111 tracks, 88 of which are newly mixed versions of the select recordings, pure and without overdubs.

Frahm Nils: Paris [2 Vinyl LP]

Throughout 19 new tracks, including a poem that opens the record, Zach Bryan presents a deeply personal and reflective album that explores themes of nostalgia, self-discovery, and the complexities of fame. Drawing inspiration from the places where Bryan has found solace - bars and the roads traveled - the album feels like an intimate conversation between Bryan and his audience, sharing his experiences and internal struggles as a touring musician.<br/>Although the album doesn't follow a singular narrative, it manages to weave together poignant stories through its Americana-inspired sound. With its mix of acoustic ballads, subtle rock influences, and Bryan's signature stripped-down style, it resonates as a sincere and introspective look into the human experience.<br/><br/>The record is infused with collaborations from notable artists like Bruce Springsteen, John Mayer, and John Moreland, adding gravitas to Bryan's celebrated down-to-earth songwriting.<br/><br/>Complementing an already extraordinary discography, The Great American Bar Scene stands as the preliminary peak of Bryan's career as the new americana/country icon for - and of - our time.
