REVIEW : DEVIL’S TRAIN, ASHES & BONES (Release Date: JUNE 24, 2022 / ROAR! ROCK OF ANGELS RECORDS)

One of favourite bands is back in business with a brand new killer opus! The heavy rock blues ass-kicking band of DEVIL'S TRAIN is about to release its new effort entitled "Ashes And Bones" this June through Roar! Rock Of Angels Records!

REVIEW : Drive At Night, Echoes Of An Era (Pride & Joy Music Release: 17 June 2022)

Drive at Night was formed in 2021 by the two long-time friends and band mates Joachim Nordlund and Johan Lindstedt from Astral Doors and SunStrike. During 2021, twelve songs were written and recorded in Joachim's studio in Borlänge, Sweden, and produced by Drive At Night. The cover artwork was designed by Blekkmark Design.

And here it is: the new Cornerstone-Single "PRIVATE EYES"! The song hits home with some very personal and sensitive topics, surrounding being stalked. Michael, who wrote the lyrics and co-wrote the song, exclaims it's "a topic which troubled me for over a year. In the beginning I found it a bit strange, to get stalked by someone, and I even had some laughs about it. During this time, it caused bad dreams and sleepless nights. There was one point, at which I've got eight incoming phone calls within an hour from the person, plus an accumulation of messages overnight”. The track, in effect, spreads awareness on controversial events happening to men.

Produced once again with HARRY HESS, who recently won a Grammy for his work at ALEX CUBA's latest album (best Latin-Pop), a few radiostations already interviewed the band prior tot he release and played the track, but of course most of the promotion will happen within the next few weeks. There is also a video in the making, but due to Covid-19, half oft he band and half oft he film team had to stay in quarantine in the week oft he shot, so it will probably take a while, before it will be finished. Also Cornerstone's day has just 24 hours.... The song is available on Spotify, iTunes and the usual platforms!

PRIDE & JOY MUSIC signs DREAMTIDE; release date for “Drama Dust Dream” set to July 22nd, 2022!

DREAMTIDE's goal did not change over the years. Music committed to songs in a tradition of rock music which has its roots in the early seventies or late sixties. The bands and records Helge Engelke was part of, among others Zeno and Fair Warning, helped shaping what became commonly known as “melodic rock” throughout the 80s and 90s.

SANTA CRUZ have unleashed the music video for “Under The Gun”, the first single from the group's upcoming new album, “The Return of the Kings”.

SANTA CRUZ have unleashed the music video for “Under The Gun”, the first single from the group's upcoming new album, “The Return of the Kings”. The new full-length will be released this fall. The music video can be viewed on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/a2MnxF9JCM8

The 2022 lineup of SANTA CRUZ – which sees Finnish frontman/guitarist and founding member Archie Cruz now joined by the Los Angeles-based trio of guitarist Jerry Jade (BAD GVY), bassist Tommy Bradley (REVELRY GANG), and drummer Randy McDemian (ABRAHADABRA CLOTHING).

“’Under The Gun’, a nod to some of Metal´s all-time greats like Ozzy and Dokken, comes out with a banging video, inspired by Sergio Leone´s Spaghetti Western movies and Tarantino-esque cinema”, explains Archie Cruz. “The video was shot in Joshua Tree on April 7th with Industrialism films and the director Vicente Cordero. The plot is about four gunslingers having a Mexican stand-off for a suitcase full of cold hard cash.”

June 24, 2022 will see new melodic power metal force, FALLEN SANCTUARY, featuring Georg Neuhauser (Serenity) and Temperance guitarist Marco Pastorino, release their first full-length album, entitled Terranova, through AFM Records. After the previously-released, first epic single "Broken Dreams", today the four-piece has shared a music video for the album title track of their upcoming debut!

Says Marco about the song: "Terranova was one of the first tracks we wrote for our debut album and we immediately agreed - this is melodic metal like we love it!"

Vocalist Georg adds: "I really love Terranova - fast, melodic and with dramatic lyrics about drug addiction. It simply reminds me of one of my favourite albums: "Silence" by Sonata Arctica."

CRAZY will be released on all major streamingservices on the 29 th of April

The second single from the upcoming 4th album by Black Paisley. This time the band will release a new digital single every month up to the album release later in 2022

The new single “Crazy” shows again a softer side of Black Paisley, that haven´t really been seen since the first two albums. “A soft mid-tempo radio rocker with a good feel vibe to it. A modern version in the style of bands like Whitesnake, Journey and Bon Jovi. The song came about with the groove of a ballad, then we just added a little Paisley choruses and rock guitars says singer and songwriter Stefan Blomqvist”

DEVICIOUS - NEW SINGER & TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT!

DeVicious is proud to present new lead singer Baol Bardot Bulsara! You may have already recognized him as the singer of the famous Norwegian Hard Rock Band “TNT”!

Baol was born in Argentina 47 years ago, has been living in Spain since he was is a young child and also is a Spanish citizen.

Band leader Alex Frey says: “We met Baol during the recordings of our “Black Heart” album where he delivered some outstanding backing vocals to our songs. The band fell in love with Baol’s voice when he sang for the Spanish band “Strangers” (see Video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YCcwEz1Y-0 “When it became clear to us that Antonio won’t be able to commit to our tour schedule anymore we spoke with Antonio before we started conversations with Baol. The process of him becoming our new lead singer was rather organic since the band and the singer clicked from the start.”

Baol’s work with TNT won’t be affected by his engagement with DeVicious.
"We can’t wait to bring this on the road and record new songs for you."
