Moontower Music Review

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars This album shows you what Dan Swano is capable of!
This heavy,dark,progressive album finally shows you what Dan Swano can do by himself! He plays all instruments! The one-man-wonder does NOT disappoint on his solo album and for fans of Opeth Edge of Sanity, or just Metal in general, you'll love the mix of catchy metal riffs, alien sounding keyboards, and vocals sounding like they come from The Nine Hells!! My ONLY regret and believe me it's nothing MAJOR, but I wish he would have added a tad more clean vocals to go with that evil growl, but no big deal though, A SOLID 4 STARS!! GET THIS ONE!!!

Dimmu Borgir Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia CD (2001)

Moontower CD music

$13.35

In spite of straying so far from its black metal roots as to almost seem a completely different band at times, Dimmu Borgir still packs a powerful punch on Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia. New guitarist Galder (formerly of Old Man's Child) nicely infuses more traditional metallic mannerisms, but the addition of drummer Nicholas Barker (Cradle of Filth and Lock Up) is critical. His always-punishing percussive prowess allows the seamless melding of speedy black metal with considerably more orchestration, this time around provided by the Gothenburg Opera Orchestra itself, creating a cacophony of nefarious melodies ...

Darkthrone Transilvanian Hunger CD (1994) Digipak

Moontower album

$10.09

"Darkthrone is for all the evil in man," proclaims the back cover of Transilvanian Hunger, the Norwegian group's fourth release -- but more controversial is the proclamation that contained within was "Norsk Arisk Black Metal," loosely translated, "Norwegian Aryan Black Metal." One would have to be fluent in Norwegian to understand whether or not Transilvanian Hunger boasts a racist agenda, since all lyrics, save for the vampire-themed title track, are "sung" in said ...

What do you do when you've already changed the face of music once in a decade? If you're Bristol, UK sonic architects Massive Attack, you refine the model for the times. MEZZANINE, the third album from the producer/DJ crew who, for all intents and purposes, created the genre of trip-hop, is thicker, less spacious and far more guitar-heavy than their previous efforts. Then again, the blue-print remains: hip-hop beats, behemoth bass underpinnings and spare melodic overtones still control Massive Attack's drive. ...

VAST Music For People CD (2000)

Moontower songs

$9.09

MUSIC FOR PEOPLE is a watery-sounding but oddly effective mix of post-industrial noise recalling Trent Reznor, Eno-esque ambient music, and psychedelic pop of both '60s and late '80s shoe-gazer varieties. Head Vast honcho Jon Crosby is an impressive guitarist. As a singer he essentially has two vocal styles; depending on the song, it's either the sort of operatic lack of affect that has served as a signifier for artsy angst since David Bowie in his experimental days, or simply full bore Bono circa "Where the Streets Have No Name." The standout track here is "Land of Shame," which starts out as a sort of homage to "Sunny Afternoon" period Kinks, before Crosby ...

Best Of Bruce Dickinson CDs (2001) Bonus CD; Limited Edition

Moontower album

$17.69

Recorded between 1990 and 1999. Includes liner notes by Bruce Dickinson. This Limited edition of THE BEST OF BRUCE DICKINSON includes a bonus disc containing rare tracks and and an interview segment. When Bruce Dickinson launched his solo career with 1990's Tattooed Millionaire, it was clear that not everything he did on his own would resemble his work with Iron Maiden. Some of the British headbanger's solo output has been very forceful and Maiden-like, but some of it is has been lighthearted, glossy pop-metal that wouldn't be out of place on an album by Bon Jovi, Winger, or Def Leppard. Assembled in 2001, this excellent, well-rounded collection reflects Dickinson's diversity as a solo artist. The Best of Bruce Dickinson is full of the type of intense and aggressive, yet melodic fantasy metal that put Maiden on the map; headbangers who hold Dickinson's work with Maiden in high regard should have no problem getting into fantasy metal gems like "Tears of the Dragon" (a single from 1994's Balls to Picasso), "Silver Wings," and the title song of 1998's The Chemical Wedding. Meanwhile, Dickinson's pop-metal side is nicely represented by "Born in '58" and Tattooed Millionaire's title song. Is The Best of Bruce Dickinson the last word on his solo career? Definitely not. For one thing, it's missing the singer's inspired cover of David Bowie's "All the Young Dudes," which was one of the best things on Tattooed Millionaire. Also missing is "Shoot All the Clowns," an important single from Balls to Picasso. But while this 63-minute CD falls short of ideal, it is consistently exciting nonetheless -- and it is the most logical starting point for those exploring Dickinson's solo output for the first time. ~ Alex Henderson When Bruce Dickinson launched his solo career with 1990's Tattooed Millionaire, it was clear that not everything he did on his own would resemble his work with Iron Maiden.
