From The Netherlands comes the third full-length release titled "Slow
Burn 1," from the progressive-rock/pop band Fractal Mirror. Their
previous album "Garden of Ghosts" received enormous praise and they look
to grow their fanbasae with this new concept album. The eleven-song release begins
with a short "Prelude," which leads into the modern-day, synth-fueled
Genesis feel of "Miracle." The gentle acoustics of "Floods" and the soft
touch of "Numbers," showcases the diversity in their songwriting as
"Enemies" displays a darker edge to the song's melodic tone. You can't help
but feel uplifted by the Pink Floydian-feel of "Embers," before
finishing up with the steady rhythm of "Artifacts" and the eight-minute
epic of "Universal." To find out more about Fractal Mirror and

American rock band Spain returns with their sixth studio album titled
"Carolina." The band's roots date back to the early nineties as they
developed a cult following, touring across the U.S. and Europe. Their
song "Spiritual" was even covered by the late-great Johnny Cash for his
Grammy-winning album "Unchained." Their new ten-song release begins with
the dark tones of "Tennessee" as the storied lyrics are like a history
lesson highlighted with some sweet slide guitar. The slow-movement of
"The Depression" and the quiet, gentleness of "Apologies" wraps around
you like a warm blanket as you let go of all worries. The lyrics of "One
Last Look" and "Battle Of Saratoga" bring up the past as
Spain spins the tales in a thoughtful, caring way. The album finishes up
with the chants of "For You" and Americana tone of regrets of "Station
2." To find out more about Spain and their latest release "Carolina,"
