Die Apokalyptischen Reiter is a Weimar, Germany based heavy metal band signed to Nuclear Blast in Europe and The End Records in North America. Their name translates to The Apocalyptic Horsemen.
Their original style consists of death/thrash metal blended with melodic compositions.

They use lyrics in both English and German with a shift from mainly English songs to more German ones on recent albums.

John Powell’s music for The Bourne Identity is a smooth contemporary action score that is an exception to the typical generic compositions that accompany such films. It draws upon the standard spy-thriller ethos and echos the work of David Arnold for the James Bond franchise, particularly with its use of lush strings, blending of electronic percussion and sprinkling of jazz and rock elements.

On their first studio album in four years, Eels return with sad songs written in the voice of a fictional narrator who's a lonely man trying to woo the object of his affection. It should be utterly depressing, but Hombre Lobo is instead oddly life-affirming, offering tender ballads and horny blues-rock stompers that shake with the urgency and vitality of true love.

Can a shock-rocker grow up? Marilyn Manson argues that it's possible with The High End of Low. Sure, he's not about to drop the horror-show shtick, but the album is at its best when Manson explores his own self-loathing with brutal candor. Turning 40 and newly single, Manson doesn't seem that interested in scaring us. Instead, he's too busy dealing with the guy in the mirror, which can be a lot more frightening.

Apparently one side project wasn't enough for Jack White. After spending two albums ripping it up with the Raconteurs, White collaborated with Kills vocalist Alison Mosshart for more grimy garage rock. Horehound, the debut album from the Dead Weather, is a sexy, scary affair, with Mosshart's barbed-wire voice nicely complemented by White's blues-rock primitivism.

Until We Have Faces is the third full-length studio album from American Grammy nominated Christian rock band Red. It was released on February 1, 2011. Upon its release the album reached No. 1 on the iTunes album chart.
The Christian Manifesto gave the rating album a 4.5 out of 5 and indicated that the songs are not always internally consistent, with an introduction in one style but developing into another style but concluding that it is a "great album from an oddly underrated band outside of Christian circles". TheNewReview gave it a 4.5 out of 5 too, pointing out that although Red has kept their same signature sound, they have "tweaked and perfected it". Reception on the site Sputnikmusic has not been as positive, where it received a 3 out of 5. The reviewer credited this to the fact that while the album has a few standout songs, there are a few "lazy and boring songs".

Near the Parenthesis - Japanese for Beginners (2011)

IDM, Ambient | Publisher: n5md

Near The Parenthesis is the anonym that Tim Arndt, a San Francisco-based electronic musician, utilizes for his warm electronic creations. While playing such conventional instruments as piano and guitar in several bands throughout the years, Arndt has continually been grounded in electronic and experimental music. After disbanding the Urban Needle project featuring Steve Mehlman (Pere Ubu) and Mark Gamiere (The Wake), he decided to go it alone and focus on full instrumental compositions.
Arndt was intent on creating something decidedly less organic, which includes what may be some of the most creative drum programing of his career. Building on this new platform, Japanese for Beginners continues Arndt's bias and skill in constructing haunting piano motifs and, as always, brings the pieces together seamlessly.
Near The Parenthesis’ music is gentle and restrained, yet deeply layered with a heavy emphasis on evolution and, most of all, emotion.
