Ravi Shankar was a renowned Hindustani sitar player and composer. Born on April 7, 1920 in Varanasi, India, he became one of the most influential musicians of his time. As the first husband of *Annapurna Devi* and former son-in-law of *Allauddin Khan*, Ravi Shankar's musical lineage was exceptional. He was also the father of *Norah Jones*, *Anoushka Shankar*, and *Shubhendra Shankar*. With his distinctive style and virtuosity, he captivated audiences worldwide.

Throughout his career, Ravi Shankar collaborated with numerous artists and enriched Indian classical music. His mesmerizing performances on the sitar earned him international acclaim. His unique compositions combined traditional ragas with innovative elements, pushing boundaries and creating new possibilities for Indian music.

On December 11, 2012, Ravi Shankar passed away in San Diego, USA. His legacy lives on through his extensive discography and influence on future generations of musicians. Artists such as *Ali Akbar Khan*, *Nikhil Banerjee*, *Anoushka Shankar*, and many others have been inspired by his genius. Ravi Shankar's contributions to music will forever be remembered as he continues to inspire listeners around the world.

BMG Rights Management is a multinational label that was established as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. It operates under the name BMG Chrysalis in the USA, UK, and Sweden, following its acquisition of Chrysalis plc. In 2012, Bertelsmann bought out Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.'s share of the company after an unsuccessful attempt to acquire EMI's recorded-music assets. While BMG Rights Management is the successor of the original Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), it has undergone significant changes and now operates independently with no connection to its former incarnation.

Sometimes, things just speak -or scream, roar, shout, maim, wound, beat, pulverize and destroy- for themselves. Exhibit one?&nbsp;All Hell’s Breaking Loose, the 15th studio&nbsp;album from Newcastle-born Heavy&nbsp;Metal pioneers Raven, is released on Silver Lining Music. Founding Geordie brothers John Gallagher (lead vocals, bass, 12 string bass) and Mark Gallagher (guitar, backing vocals) have seemingly entered a time-machine and regenerated their youthful selves, and with the fierce drumming of Mike Heller propelling further power,&nbsp;All Hell’s Breaking Loose&nbsp;shows a band clearly bursting with fire, energy, power and pride in their standing as one of the true forefathers of the New Wave of British&nbsp;Heavy Metal.It is no understatement to say these are 10 'banger-after-banger' tracks, each with a tantalizing flurry of twisting NWOBHM riffery.&nbsp;“Turn Of The Screw” bounces on the upbeats before smashing you with a thunderous chorus,&nbsp;“The Far Side” has as classic a metal riff as you’ll hear in 2023,&nbsp;“Desperate Measures” is pure&nbsp;'81-saturated tales of hardship and&nbsp;despair, if you ever wondered what Raven at the Marquee were like on a sweaty metal night in&nbsp;’83, then&nbsp;“Edge of A Nightmare” is your portal to paradise, and&nbsp;“Go For The Gold” (the finisher!) thunders as hard as the opener&nbsp;“Medieval”. Produced expertly by the band themselves&nbsp;at Heaven And Heller Studios,&nbsp;All Hell’s Breaking Loose&nbsp;is 100% peddle to the heavy metal fun and escape back to the timeless future. Get into yer denim and leathers, break out the&nbsp;bevvies and crank this mutha to 11!!!
