One of the most respected progressive rock bands ever to emerge from Switzerland, Zenit, have released their third album 'The Chandrasekhar Limit' on Galileo Records on January 28, 2013. Possibly the most ambitious release of 2013, right from the beginning of Zenit's new 69-minute masterpiece, Andy Thommen (formerly Clepsydra), affixes a seal with his distinctive bass playing on the first song (“Awaken”). Later, with the start of the guitar, you will somewhat be reminded of the Clepsydra sound: awesome guitar-bass team play! Here is the beginning of what to expect from this brilliant album – quality! Says Andy Thommen, “We've chosen 'The Chandrasekhar Limit' as the title because this mathematical threshold defines if a white dwarf star remains a star or becomes a black hole... So, as a band we feel that we are passing a crossroads without knowing where this track leads to. We do not know if we are above or below the Chandrasekhar limit.”

These are the first cuts featuring Anvil‘s new bassist Sal Italiano, who joined the band a year ago. “We’re really happy with Sal, his style is powerful and amazingly imaginative.

The title of the new long player to come from the creative mind of Belgian Electro-Industrial-legend Suicide Commando is "When Evil Speaks" which is certainly no empty promise as mastermind and icon Johan van Roy has delved deeper into the dark abysses of the human psyche than ever before. It comes as no surprise that the result is not exactly easy listening material and so the listener is plunged head-on into an appropriately fierce trip comprised of psychotic shouts, hard beats and dark soundscapes. "When Evil Speaks" and "In 'Guns We Trust" make excellent floor fillers, but Suicide Commando have much more up their sleeves and have created an album that is a captivating journey into the darkest corners of human existence and a reflection on all facets of hatred.
