Hollow is easily one of the most underrated bands in the history of progressive power metal. Their two stunning albums – “Modern Cathedral” and “Architect of the Mind” – never received the attention they deserved, despite stellar reviews in the music press. Metal Mind Productions presents the exclusive double reissue which brings back true classics from the past, filled with music that brings “power” back to “power metal”…

The new album has been finally mastered and the artwork completed!

With a good headwind and weather, we are on course for our Autumn release schedule. (OK, that's enough of the sailing imagery I think).

'Charlestown' is made up of six new recordings including the epic mulit-sectioned title track. The album features the new band line-up (except Conor, who arrived afterwards) and includes Dave Albone's last work with the band before his retirement.

Once again, some extra guests have been drafted in to help add to that unique sound which is MANNING music! (See our BIOGRAPHY section)

Greg Lake has announced tour dates on his website,which mention it is the Keith Emerson & Greg Lake 2010-2011 World Tour. All the tour dates available at Greg`s website. http://www.greglake.com

Some very interesting things going on. Cover Me by Work of Art just moved into the number 1 most watched video position surpassing all 25 of our other videos.

Pretty good considering it's just over a month old. Pandora's Box by Dream Aria is currently out 9th most watched and climbing the charts very fast (currently the number 1 music video on MySpace).

David Minasian – Random acts of beauty

Another surprise that got dropped in my mailbox last week by HL. The album is influenced by Camel (music), The Moody Blues (vocals) and at times the vocals also remind me a bit of David Gilmour. Symphonic progressive rock with lengthy guitar and keyboard solo’s is what you could call it if i have to name a genre.

While listening to “Masquerade” for the first time and getting to the point where Andy Latimer, as a guest, starts to play his solo it raised the hairs on my arms and neck immediately.
