Rotting Christ has always been a metal band cloaked in the darkest musical elements, ranging from black metal to the morbid, slightly unworldly tones of goth. After experimenting with their signature sound in the late '90s on such intrepid releases as A Dead Poem and Sleep of Angels, the band rightfully returned to the black metal sound that they championed in their earlier days with the impressive blast of Khronos 666. In 2002 the band once again emerged with an album of undeniably sinister proportions, as Genesis encapsulates every facet of this Greek juggernaut's ominous sound. The cascading, symphonic melodies that serve as a backdrop for Genesis are truly intimidating and they wrap each and every song with a haunting aura of darkness. Building on this macabre crescendo of aural atrocity, Rotting Christ does what they do best, which is rifling through ten songs with fierce determination. It seems that with Genesis the band wished to ascend to an unheard level of heaviness, as Themis' brutal drumming throttles the listener with savage blasts while Sakis rises to this challenge with some of his best guitar work of the group's 15-year career. Much of the album is highlighted by the added textures of George's keyboard, strengthening Rotting Christ's sound without weakening the aggressive punch the group is known for. When all is said and done, Rotting Christ has once again delivered with a powerful album of putrid black metal and fans should find Genesis a worthy successor to Khronos 666's diabolical intentions. ~ Jason D. Taylor

After devoting their previous two albums to exploring more accessible and intensely gothic sounds (without ever quite selling out, mind you), Greece's favorite sons Rotting Christ decided it was time to revisit the ferocious brutality of their raw primordial origins with 2000's Khronos -- or at least portions of it. On the one hand, surprisingly blackened thrash-outs like "Thou Art Blind" and "Aeternatus" raged with a vicious aggression not heard since the group's uncompromising 1993 debut, Thy Mighty Contract.

Two years after resurrecting their more aggressive tendencies via 2002's suitably named Genesis album, Greece's Rotting Christ forged into realms unknown once again with their eighth studio album, the semi-conceptual Sanctus Diavolos. And while previous Rotting Christ efforts had insinuated a ceremonial occasion, Sanctus Diavolos felt like an outright ritual, an intricate black mass marked by lush, orchestrated layers of sound stacked into each and every song. Initial offerings come fast and furious, starting with the decapitating intensity of "Visions of a Blind Order," the "Carmina Burana"-recalling choruses of "Thy Wings Thy Thorns Thy Sin," and the petrifying marshal display of "Athanati Este" -- all of which find vocalist Sakis waging battle with massed choirs of the damned and abusing electronic samples like never before. Yet, despite all of these sonic accoutrements, Sanctus Diavolos ...

Elvis Crespo is one of those rare talents who takes a specialized genre like merengue and breaks it into the mainstream with flair. With his atypical long, straight black hair, Andalusian eyes, and spacy demeanor, Crespo is a neo-mod sex symbol perfectly assimilable by the dance-music market. So when his debut album, SUAVEMENTE, ...

Joan Watson-Jones describes herself as an expressive storyteller. She only sings songs that mean a lot to her and she gives each one her own fresh interpretation filled with sincere emotions and understanding. Born in New York, she grew up around music and had extensive tap dancing and piano lessons. "I taught school for years, first and second grade. Then after I earned a Masters in music education, I became a music teacher. I used to say that I did nine shows a day, going from room to room while giving private lessons. During that period I learned guitar and decided to return to my first love and work as a singer which is my third and longest career." Living in New Hampshire since she got married, Joan Watson-Jones has become an important part of the local jazz scene. During 1996-98 she hosted Joan's Jazz Jam, 30 half-hour television shows for Media One cable that are still being aired. She currently conducts a weekly half-hour radio show on the internet called The Jazz Room.And most importantly, she sings regularly in a variety of settings. Following up on her previous recording One More Year, I Thought About You is a collection of ten of her favorite standards. "In players, I look for the sensitivity to be with a vocalist and for very good listeners." She has known pianist Frank Wilkins since 2001. "He gives everything he's got in every performance and is very sensitive to singers." Bassist Ron Mahdi and drummer Alvin Terry, regular members of Wilkins' trio, work very well with both the pianist and the singer. Jim Bridges gives Joan the type of guitar sound she wants, in the vein of George Van Eps and Bucky Pizzarelli. Tenor-saxophonist Fred Haas and trombonist Larry McClellan (a dean at Berklee) are strong assets during their appearances as is Mike Turk on harmonica. "When I heard that David Eure played jazz violin, I invited him to sit in with my group and I fell in love with his playing. I decided that he will be on every recording project I ever make."The fun project begins with a high-energy version of "It's All Right With Me." "My Funny Valentine" is taken as a romantic waltz with a prominent spot for the violinist. "I Thought About You" is a bit reminiscent in its initial wistful mood of Shirley Horn before Haas takes a cooking tenor solo. "I have a love for Duke Ellington songs and 'I'm Beginning To See The Light' has a wink to it, not taking itself too seriously." "Can't Help Lovin' That Man" in particular means a lot to Joan because it was her solo with her college choir at a time then she met her future husband. The harmonica and guitar perfectly accompany her emotional vocal. Fred Haas' soulful tenor is one of the highlights of "Since I Fell For You"; Joan sings the rarely heard verse. Joan captures the sadness of "Sophisticated Lady," showing empathy for its subject while she describes "Shiny Stockings," which gives several of the musicians opportunities to stretch out, as "absolute fun." "Come Rain Or Come Shine" has been a favorite of the singer since she used to listen to Pearl Bailey's version all the time when she was five, followed by Ray Charles' recording years later. The enjoyable program concludes with a joyful rendition of Ellington's "Just A-Sittin' And A-Rockin'." ...
