ALFONZETTI – Shake My Blood (2021)

One of the greatest rock-voices ever, Matti Alfonzetti fronted Jagged Edge for a few years in the late Eighties, then he moved home to Sweden and formed Skintrade, which in the early and mid-Nineties had great international success with songs such as “One By One”, “Sick As A Dog” and ” Soul Sister ”. Matti has previously also released solo records and written for and produced others, including The Poodles’ hit “One night of passion” and Velvet Insane’s self-titled debut.
Now ALFONZETTI is releasing a new solo album titled “Shake My Blood“, where has gone back to his roots and together with Mikael Hujanen, Peter Forss, Johan Norgren, Henrik Bergqvist, Joel Sahlin and son Dante created a record that drips from classic arena rock with strong spices of blues.
This is a strong, enjoyable and extremely well-sounding album that fits in many contexts, from sweaty bluesy melodies to rocking hooks. Add to that you have one of Sweden’s best rock singers of all time…

ALIEN – Into The Future [Japan Edition +1] (2020)

One of the greatest Scandinavian bands from the late ’80s – ALIEN – are back with a new album: ”Into The Future”, to be released in advance today in Japan with a bonus track.
Alien’s return with their original line up was one of the stories of the early 2010’s. They followed up two stunning Firefest shows, where Jim Jidhed’s golden voice in particular was a revelation, with a comeback album ‘Eternity’, but then nothing for the last six years.
Their latest return sees some change in the camp with the quintet back down to three original members, and a self-confessed heavier, more guitar-based hard rocking sound.
