Sweden is a great place for music and possibly the best in Europe, so suck it England.The Scandinavian country has been made into a hotspot for multiple music scenes with it’s great tunes, whether it’s the pop glory of Abba or Ace of Base, the avant-garde genius of The Knife or Fever Ray, the sullen meditations of Lykke Li or El Parro Del Mar, Sweden has a proverbial smorgasbord of artists who have taken the international scene by storm. Even listening to contemporary acts like Makthaverskan or First Aid Kit, there is an undeviated flow of new exciting artists to […]...

History's "Vikings" returns for its third season on Thursday (February 19) night and through three episodes, I can safely say that Michael Hirst's saga of pillaging and migration remains everything it has been almost from its premiere. Over two seasons, "Vikings" has delivered solidly above-average thrills that exceed the requirements of its basic cable home. The show has a passionate audience already, but I'm reasonably sure there's a far larger audience out there that would get a kick out of "Vikings," because it really is one of those shows that check a wide number of demographic boxes. "Vikings" is reliably badass, if you like that sort of thing. Maybe not every episode, but probably every two or three, the directors and choreographers deliver a visceral Viking action set-piece that has both admirable scale, but also a raw, gory intimacy. Perhaps more than any other action show on television, "Vikings" conveys...

Few current TV shows are as cinematic as NBC's "Hannibal," and that includes the stellar music that accompanies each episode. If you're a fan of the series who's looking to add to your CD collection, then read on for some very cool news!
From the Press Release:
Lakeshore Records will release four volumes of music from the hit NBC television series Hannibal, composed by Brian Reitzell (Lost in Translation, "Boss").
The Hannibal Season One Volumes 1 & 2 soundtrack will be available digitally on August 5th and on CD September 2nd. The Hannibal Season Two Volumes 1 & 2 Original TV Soundtracks will be available digitally on September 2nd and on CD September 23rd.
“Visually it’s so artfully done and quite fantastical so I see it like an opera staging; otherwise, I might be more disturbed,” said Reitzell of Hannibal. “Listening to the music alone is scarier than in the context of the show.”

Vikings, Season 1, Episode 1: “Rites of Passage”
Written by Michael Hirst
Directed by Johan Renck
Airs Sundays at 9pm Et on History Channel
After the success of last year’s miniseries, Hatfields & McCoys, The History Channel travels deeper into the past with its first scripted drama series, entitled Vikings. Created by Michael Hirst (Elizabeth, Showtime’s The Tudors), with a pilot directed by Breaking Bad veteran Johan Renck, episode one, “Rites of Passage,” promises a new thrilling perspective on Norse mythology.
Expect many tall, blond haired and long bearded, beasts of men, wielding swords, spears and sometimes an axe, but don’t expect too many epic battle scenes. The teaser of “Rites of Passage” is perhaps misleading. For cable television, “Rites of Passage” is extremely light on violence. The establishing battlefield sequence is the only action set-piece in the episode; an impressive piece of filming no less, aided in part...
