• Gary Moore

An album with unreleased material never heard before! On April 30th, Provogue Records will release a new album entitled ‘How Blue Can You Get’ of previously unreleased material by GARY MOORE, who passed away 10 years ago. This month marks the tenth anniversary of the tragic death of the Northern Irish musician. He left an incredibly impressive back catalogue. These include solo albums such as ‘Still Got The Blues’ (1990), ‘Blues for Greeny’ (1995) or his first number one success ‘Wild Frontier’ (1987), but also as a band member of THIN LIZZY, SKID ROW and COLOSSEUM II, Moore left a legacy that few others can match.

• Sabotage

With remastered original recordings and the complete 1975 live show, recorded during the US tour - fourfold CD and fourfold vinyl + 7-inch version - Release date: June 4, 2021 via BMG

BLACK SABBATH were embroiled in a lengthy legal battle with their former manager in 1975, just as they began recording their sixth studio album, ‘Sabotage’.

Despite all the distraction and problems, the band created one of their most dynamic and unfortunately underrated albums of their legendary career.

• Katatonia
• Sólstafir

Attention: due to the Corona pancemic, the tour is postponed to 2023. Tickets remain valid.

SÓLSTAFIR and KATATONIA will head out in January and February 2022 on a 31-date co-headline tour of the UK and Europe. The coming together of these two revered masters of melancholy seems only natural. For over a quarter of a century both artists have favoured the emotional connection that their music brings over all else. Theirs is a world where “heavy” is a force of nature; where progress comes from within, outwardly changing their musical output into something almost unrecognizable from the extreme metal that carried it in the early days. The BBC’s description of KATATONIA’s “grandiose, majestic beauty” seems appropriate for both artists. It’s no coincidence that The Guardian’s take on SÓLSTAFIR is equally apt: “total immersion is compulsory”.
