New Albums - Page 25

It’s been a tumultuous few years for The Rolling Stones since the passing of drummer Charlie Watts, but they’ve transformed that time into a triumphant new album. Darryl Jones wasn’t available for “Hackney Diamonds,” so the bass was handled by Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Paul McCartney, and Bill Wyman.

Duff McKagan has released a new solo studio album called “Lighthouse.” The Guns N’ Roses bassist’s third solo effort features a who’s who of guests from his generation including Slash, Jerry Cantrell, Abe Laboriel Jr., and more.

Nick Oliveri and Mondo Generator have returned with “We Stand Against You,” which marks their seventh studio album. The former Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age bassist calls it their “heaviest and most brutal album to date.”

Tim Lefebvre is such an incredible talent, and one of his superpowers is being able to tastefully support any musical situation. Another example of that superpower is a new album by vocal acrobat Andreas Schaerer and guitarist Kalle Kalima.

Back in 2020, Carrtoons (aka bassist/producer Ben Carr) released “Saturday Morning.” He followed that up with “Homegrown” in 2022, and now he’s come full circle with a new album called “Saturday Night.”

Earlier this year, Dogstar broke a two-decade hiatus by officially reuniting at the BottleRock Napa Valley music festival. The band, with Keanu Reeves on bass, has now ended the 23-year gap since their last album.

Benjamin Koppel, Scott Colley, and Brian Blade formed the KCB Collective ten years ago. Each trio member is known as a world-class jazz musician, and their new album, “Perspective,” solidifies that fact while showing their range.

The trio of Brannan Lane, John Gregorius, and bassist Sean O’Bryan Smith have teamed up to release “Emergence,” an eight-song collection that explores ambient soundscapes and textures.

After years of recording, performing, and sharing her talents on social media, Mohini Dey has released her debut solo album. Although there’s a wide range of genres, they’re put together for a cohesive sound.

After releasing a debut album earlier this year, bassist and electronic producer NICKO has returned with a second album. While his first record took its cues from video game soundtracks, “CONTEXT I” is his first foray into ambient soundscapes.

2023 marks 35 years since the formation of death metal pioneers Cannibal Corpse, but they’re not resting on their laurels. The band has just released their sixteenth studio album, “Chaos Horrific,” and they’re hitting the road to share it with fans.

Although he’s been on many chart-topping albums, Adam Blackstone released his debut solo record last year with Legacy. Soon after, he hit the road to support it with what he called “The Legacy Experience” tour, and now we have an album showcasing his live chops.
