LANDMARQ
We regret to announce the news that keyboard player Gonzalo Carrera and Landmarq have parted company.

Due to increasing commitments aside from Landmarq, it was becoming more and more difficult for Gonzalo to devote the necessary time to the band that is required.

This was an extremely difficult band decision that was not taken lightly. Gonzalo is a fine keyboard player and musician who has brought his own unique and individual approach and personality to the band over the last two years. We consider Gonzalo a friend and he will always be a part of the Landmarq family. All of us in Landmarq wish Gonzalo every success with all that he chooses to do in music.


Following further arrangements, Gonzalo's replacement will be announced shortly. As reported previously, recording of the bands next studio album is already under way and is expected to continue.

Spiritual Beggars

Demons (2005)

Release date: June 20th 2005
also available as Special Edition with bonus Live CD!

Irrespective of trends over the last thirty years, whenever a new style came into being or when something was touted as being the future of Rock n’ Roll – classic rock music survived and thus stood the test of time. Names like Mountain, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Ronnie James Dio are all synonymous with the term “timeless”. Joining this tradition are Spiritual Beggars, one of the hottest acts to evolve in recent years. Their latest album “Demons” changes past perceptions and approaches to the genre and brings them into the present.


Tracklist:

1. Inner Strength (Intro) 1:19
2. Throwing Your Life Away 3:32
3. Salt In Your Wounds 3:19
4. One Man Army 3:57
5. Through The Halls 5:08
6. Treading Water 3:33
7. Dying Every Day 5:45
8. Born To Die 4:34
9. Born To Die (Reprise) 1:21
10. In My Blood 4:13
11. Elusive 3:33
12. Sleeping With One Eye Open 3:44
13. No One Heard 5:02

Musicians:

Michael Amott - Guitars
JB - Vocals
Ludwig Witt – Drums
Sharlee D'Angelo - Bass
Per Wiberg - Keyboards

Brother Ape

BROTHER APE DISARMED

Brother Ape, the Swedish prog rock band who received raving reviews for their debut album "On the other side", recently released on the Progress Records label, has lost a member. Peter Dahlstrom, who took the lead vocals on about 60% of the tracks, has left the band for personal reasons and will move from Stockholm for a new life in a small town. The band says:
 
"The remaining Brothers are not paralyzed by this.
We will continue our work with the next album! It sounds better than ever
and with Viktor Rundlöf as the "head commander" of the mixing desk, we
feel that we stand on solid ground. Of course some changes will be made. We have to re-record some parts to fit the new Brother Ape line up and have Stefan taking the lead vocals on all tracks. But since we actually had two bass players and two vocalists, it is just a matter of "symbolic sanitation" for us that still hold the flag of Brother Ape. It's a fresh challenge that inspires us very much and we whish our dear friend Peter a happy and healthy life!"
