SITCOMS THAT MADE ME LAUGH

MONSTERS OF ROCK

The Official Illustrated History 1980-1996

Subtitled “The full illustrated history of the world’s greatest rock festival”, Rufus Publications in cooperation with LiveNation recently released a monster of a book telling us the story about the infamous festival. Right on the verge of hard rock and heavy metal becoming subgenres ruling the airwaves and being wider appreciated, Donington became host to a new festival breaking all existing boundaries and become one of the biggest and most heralded festivals ever.

VITAM AETERNAM

For The Love Of....

Last month I did a review on Vitam Aeternam’s excellent debut `The Self-Aware Frequency’, an experimental musical project initiated by Jake Rosenberg (keyboards, piano, programming, sampling and being from the USA), Râhoola (vox, choir, keyboards, piano, orchestration, programming and sound design, hailing from Mexico) and André Aaslie (piano, orchestration, Moog Mellotron and residence in Norway), who all connected via a Devil Doll Facebook group. By sharing their musical values a bunch of the songs indeed do sound close to the highly acclaimed cult phenomena Devil Doll, though there are also musical twists and turns that confirm their musical universe is a little bit more than that. Along the way these three enthusiasts also got a few international special guests on board, like Devil Doll guitarist Bor Zuljan, and all in all Vitam Aeternam gave at least the Devil Doll Community a great new impulse. To find out a little bit more about this awesome project, I presented Jake Rosenberg a few questions.
