Interview à Antonio Pantano  (Antonio Pantano – Arcandia 2014) Le premier album de Antonio Pantano vient de sortir comme autoproduction et se nomme Arcandia. Vu le haut niveau de l’album, votre wanderer a saisi l’occasion et a profité d’échanger sur ce sujet avec l’artiste. Bonne lecture !  Bonjour Antonio, d’abord je tiens à te féliciter pour ton travail. Que ce soit pour la musique ou pour l’objet, ton cd est un produit extrêmement peaufiné et intéressant. Peux-tu nous le présenter ? Bien sur. Tu sais j’avais déjà en tête le résultat final. Concevoir le cd comme digipack c’était ce que je voulais. Ainsi il faut ouvrir le cd comme on ouvre un livre et en même temps l’aspect « papier », « cartonné » du digipack renforce l’idée d’un livre entre ses mains. Combien de temps t’as fallu pour créer ton album dont je le rappelle tu as soigné le tout, l’histoire, l’écriture des musiques, et d’où as-tu tiré ton inspiration ? J’ai commencé la composition en juin

Intervista ad Antonio Pantano  (Antonio Pantano – Arcandia 2014) E’ appena uscito come autoproduzione il primo album di Antonio Pantano e si chiama Arcandia. Visto il valore dell’album, l’occasione era troppo ghotta et il vostro wanderer ne ha approfittato per fare una chiacchierata con l’artista. Buona lettura ! Ciao Antonio, prima di tutto vorrei farti i complimenti per il tuo lavoro. Sia musicalmente che come oggetto, il tuo cd è un prodotto estremamente curato e interessante. Puoi presentarcelo? Certamente. Vedi avevo in mente precisamente il risultato finale. Concepire il cd come digipack era quello che volevo. In questo modo bisogna aprire il cd proprio come si apre un libro e allo stesso tempo l’aspetto cartaceo, “cartonato” del digipack rafforza l’idea di libro. Quanto tempo hai impiegato per creare il tuo album, di cui ricordo ti sei occupato di tutto, dalla storia alla scrittura di tutte le parti strumentali, e da dove è nata questa tua idea?

Krabathor -   Lies + The Rise of Brutality / Orthodox + Mortal Memories (2014) Mad Lion Records Le label Mad Lion Records vient de mettre sur le marché un produit très alléchant.

LEAH's 2nd full-length album, entitled KINGS & QUEENS “Kings & Queens," the highly anticipated new album from LEAH, is sure to be loved by fans of symphonic metal and female fronted rock. This album is powerful, beautiful and often dances on the edge of progressive. Most of all it’s hard not to be drawn into and enchanted by LEAH's diverse vocals. Featuring musicians such as Timo Somers and Sander Zoer of DELAIN, and Barend Courbois of Blind Guardian and Vengeance, this 14-track masterpiece emerges as the heaviest of all her releases. Dabbling in worldly Celtic, middle eastern, and New-Age flavors, while lyrically laced with epic imagery of dystopias, fallen empires, spiritual warfare, love and destiny, this album proves to be very promising and is expected to be received by fans and critics as one of the top symphonic metal albums of the year. "Kings & Queens" will be released on January 30th in Europe and February 3rd in North America
