Album of the Month

Rock Hard (FRA)
"Bruce Soord and Jonas Renkse star in one of the jewels of 2013"
9/10 noizzwebzine
Originally
written with Renkse's voice in mind, Soord sought out the acclaimed
Katatonia vocalist to complete the compositions and release the music to
the masses. Despite the rigorous schedules of The Pineapple Thief and
Katatonia, the two musicians were eventually able to connect.
Both artists are currently enjoying unparalleled success with their main bands.
The
Pineapple Thief have just completed a successful European tour
following the release of their latest album, All The Wars in September.
Rocksound described All The Wars as "an album of Muse-like, slow burning
guitar anthems", while Classic Rock stated it was "the sound of a band
reaching the height of their powers" and Prog argued it was an "elegant,
sophisticated work... moody and meaningful, introspective and
universal."
Katatonia also released a new album last year. Dead
End Kings was released on the Peaceville label in August and reinforced
their position as "one of the most consistently fascinating bands in
modern heavy music." (Metal Hammer, 9/10). The album featured heavily in
the album of the year polls of magazines around the world and was also
nominated for a Grammy in the band's homeland of Sweden.
