AARDIA - 'Conquest Of The Ancient Halls' CD (Waerloga)
This amazing debut from Aardia is dark and epic, evoking a time long since passed, a gothic and fantasy film score, or neoclassical interpretation of grand mysterious poetry; you decide. Aardia are influenced by the middle ages, dark fantasy, horror films, classical orchestral music and inspired by such as Lovecraft, Tolkien, Valiant, Boris and composers Orff, Morricone and Frizzi. You can hear the influences and the inspiration in the music on "Conquest Of The Ancient Halls". This album is both powerful and beautiful at once. Swedish trio Aardia created a dark, epic, beautiful, haunting and strong fantasy music album. Mastered by Simon Kölle (Za Frūmi, Abnocto). Digipak.

LOST KINGDOM - 'As The New Dawn Awakes' CD (Waerloga)
Debut album from this Swedish duo (brothers Daniel and Mikael Tjernberg). The music is neoclassical and leans towards Strauss but also Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, Wagner, Verdi, Brahms, Dvorįk, Tjajkovskij and Mahler. But it is not only classical music in the romantic style. Its also hints of modernism like the masters Stravinsky, Francis Poulenc and Arthur Honegger. Yet with their own style and touch of course. The biggest inspiration for the album is nature.
