ALBUM: Metallica’s ‘Black’ album now available in hi-res 96kHz/24bit on HDtracks
August 25, 2011
The iconic Black Album by Metallica is now available in hi-resolution 96kHz/24bit FLAC format on HDtracks.com for $17.98.
I remember buying the album on vinyl when it was released, which quickly picked up scratches, then I upgraded to CD, a measily 44kHZ/16 bit format 
Sorely tempted now to upgrade yet again, hear those crushing riffs in all their sonic glory!

ALBUM: Andy James guest solo on upcoming album from Jonas Tamas
July 29, 2011
Andy James has been a busy boy of late, with the release of his new solo CD and recording/touring with Sacred Mother Tongue, he has managed to guest on Jonas Tamas’ upcoming album ‘Timeless Hour’:
English guitar virtuoso Andy James plays a stunning guest guitar solo for the song Borderline, one of the new songs on Jonas Tamas’ upcoming instrumental guitar album Timeless Hour. Despite of his full schedule of writing music, releasing his new album, touring with his band Sacred Mother Tongue, and making new guitar tutorial DVDs as well as a series of guitar books, Andy was kind enough to find the time and record a fantastic guitar solo for one of the heaviest songs on the second album of Jonas Tamas.
The upcoming second instrumental guitar album of Jonas Tamas will feature international stars as guest players, including Mattias IA Eklundh (Freak Kitchen), Brett Garsed (Planet X, etc.), Marcel Coenen (Sun Caged), Thorsten Koehne (Eden’s Curse), singer Mischa Mang (Ivanhoe, ex-Dreamscape), and the new keyboard wizard Sergey Boykov (Shadow Cry).
Here’s a sneak peak of Jonas in the studio working on the album:
