I have to admit I was intrigued when I read the press statement about the album “Swing of Death” - Jorn Lande & Trond Holter present Dracula! A Rock Opera concept album about everyone’s favourite vampire (well mine would actually be Selene from “Underworld”, but that’s another story!) could either be an epic rock album or a pretentious, inflated disaster. Thankfully, it was the former and “Swing of Death” which is released through Frontiers Records on 23rd January is well worth checking out. The opening track “Hands of Your God” was the first track on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 2nd January.

Former Dokken guitarist George Lynch just seems to be one of those artists who is constantly working and releasing great new material. The latest project is a collaboration with Stryper frontman Michael Sweet. The album “Only to Rise” by Sweet & Lynch is released through Frontiers Records on 23rd January. Also featured on the album are bass player James Lomenzo (White Lion, Megadeth etc) and drummer Brian Tichy (Foreigner, Whitesnake etc). That line-up alone should be enough to grab your attention. When you take a listen to the album you’ll discover that it lives up to expectations.
