new music discoveries

Някои банди, които си струва да отбележим:

Rodrigo y Gabriela - корифеи на китарната магия

Jose Feliciano - новият стар бард (идеален за начинаещи по испански)

Creed - балади с много емоционален заряд, страшен вокал

From now on in english...so that we can learn ebentually foreign languages...

Aghora - Hear you thinking these are the usual idiots mixing progressive metal with cool thrash riffs. Yes, but not only - a tender female vocalist makes it different.


As we are talking about progressive rock riffs, today it has been even coupled with jazzy elements. The incarnation band to me is Tribal Tech. When I first heard them it sounded to me as an awkward and psychedelic combination. But after a couple of years I know the recipe: In order to assimilate Tribal Tech one has to start with jazz bands in the following order: Mezzoforte => Dave Weckl => Planet X.

Warlord - inventional enchanted melodic guitars solos

Virgin Steele - one of these oldie Hard Rockers producing killer ballads.

Angra - An ingenious mixture of melody and drams: as melodic as Rossini and as dramatic as Wagner.
I can cry while feeling the gentle caress, but next minute bang my head. Just play anything from Reaching Horizons.


Balkan Horses (балкански коне) - The magic of balkan folklore, but attractively jazz clad. Beware: addictive!


Vitamin String Quartet - classical attitude towards the classical rock and pop acts. One of the most ingenious covers I have ever heard. Just listen the their versions of Iron Maiden or System of a Down

Миленита - наскоро една нощ сънувах, че съм на концерт на Паша Христова. Не, не съм й фен, но съм фен на хубавите ретро времена. Разбрах, че е било deja vu в момента, в който открих песента "Назад".  Миленита има някакъв странен чар и неподправена креативност :)

Helstar - a full-fledged speed / thrash metal creature

Smallman - the Bulgarian reincarnation of Tool, but still evolving their unique style.    

X.A.O.C. - this is my ex-band - alternative rock.

Skoda (шкода) - the bulgarians again prove to be creative. peculiar jazz-funk-ska-swing-жица-mix
