Boulder, CO comes the debut album titled "Return To Nothing" from the
Progressive Metal band Source. Their new release has been three years in
the making and it will finally be released on September 23rd through
Pavement Entertainment. The new ten-song release begins with with the
thunderous rhythm of the eight-minute epic rocker "Forgiveness." They
add a heavier layer to "Memories Of Yesterday" as the musicianship
within the band is undeniable as in the ten-minute, tempo-changing epic
"The Essence." Source take a page out of Tool's songbook with the dark
aggressive tones of "Complaisance," while the vocals are bold and powerful.

Next up
is the return of the Grammy-nominated Christopher Hathcock, mastermind
behind the progressive metal band The Reticent. The new album "On The
Eve Of A Goodbye" will be released in October and is being described as
an autobiographical concept album. The new fifteen-track release begins
with dialogue, discussing the next "24 Hours Left." Hathcock's
exceptional songwriting is immediately heard on the first song "The Girl
Broken," which reaches close to the eight-minute mark. The tempo shifts
in "The Hypocrite" from intense heavy metal head-banging to a Pink
Floydian, prog-rock soundscape. The hardcore metal sounds of "The
Confrontation" shows off the darker, more aggressive side of The
Reticent, before finishing the album with hardcore power metal of "The
Postscript" and quiet instrumental, "For Eve." To find out more about
