Apollon Reco

Surgical Cuts in the Cosmos is the seventh full length album by Norwegian/ British heavy hitters Hex A.D. There's an overall fresh feeling to this new record, and it oozes of the joy of making heavy music. There's no big concept this time around and the songs stand on their own as individual pieces of music. Simpler, harder, dirtier, heavier! From the down-tuned and relentless riffage of the opening track "Reintroducing a bit of Heat" to the punky "A Bloody Mess" and further on to "P.I.G." - one of the most epic tracks in the band's entire catalogue, Surgical Cuts in the Cosmos shoves the Hex A.D. universe in the listeners faces like a well-placed jab by a muay Thai fighter.

Buaas Anders: Trollringen [CD]

Hedda Mae took the music industry by storm when she released her debut single in 2020. In just two years, she released an EP trilogy, collected on the LP “The Greatest Hits… So Far”. In 2022, her EP “This Might Get Loud” once again marked her as one of the country’s most promising pop artists. After nearly two years of not releasing music, she’s finally ready with her long-awaited debut album. On the album Channel Mae, listeners are invited into a fictional radio show, where listeners are guided through the story and songs by a radio host. The audience is taken on a journey in a Bonnie & Clyde-like universe and witnesses a drama unfold. While the story takes place in a meta-universe, it reflects Hedda's real experiences from the past few years and criticizes the imbalanced power dynamics within her industry.
