Rushfan4's New CD Thread 7- Black Bonzo Guillotine - Progressive Rock Music Forum

It was good news when I heard that Black Bonzo would release their third around September - I'm still not dissapointed by anything this band has made - and I can't name too many great heavy/hard rock retro bands, other than this... I like this one more than The Sound Of Apocalypse. Supersonic Man would be the best, most attractive piece, I suppose, but my favourite is Zephyr.

In continuation of my meager attempt to divert some PA forum discussion time away from Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater and the other usual suspects, here is my 7th installment of Rushfan4's New CD Discussion Thread. This month's album that I think that others would enjoy and like to discuss is Black Bonzo's Guillotine Drama. I believe that Black Bonzo is mildly known around these parts as a result of the release of their previous album The Sound of the Apocalypse. I really haven't seen any discussions regarding their latest release however, so here it is.

Here is a link to their PA page. http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1406 where a couple of songs from their previous albums can be heard.

Here is a link to their official website. http://www.blackbonzo.com/

Here is a link to their MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/blackbonzo where some of their music can be heard.

And here is a link to the Last.FM page http://www.last.fm/music/Black+Bonzo/Guillotine+Drama where I believe that the whole album can be streamed for free.

Black Bonzo are another selection from Sweden for me. They play a brand of heavy psychedelic prog. I think that they might appeal to those of you who previously enjoyed my Astra recommendation.

Give them a listen. See what you think. And come back to this thread and discuss them. I am hoping that we have a little success here and maybe we can do it for other lesser known newer releases. Either rate, let me know what you think.

I should note that for those who frown about these things, I am not a representative of any of these bands. I do not get paid to endorse them. All of these albums are albums that I purchased as downloads. They are all albums that I have really enjoyed and therefore I am trying to bring them to the attention of PA members so that they may enjoy them to. Obviously, I can't guarantee that anyone else will like these albums since it is all a matter of taste, but I have a feeling that there are some of you out there who will.

I should also mention that although I am a Collaborator here at PA, this thread and recommendation is made entirely independently of my duties as a PA collaborator, and is also totally independent of the PA Artist of the Month that is endorsed by M@x, the site's owner.
