REVIEW : WAYWARD SONS --- Ghosts of Yet to Come (2017)

Wayward Sons is the brand new project/band of Frontiers. The band's leader is the well-known Toby Jepson of the legendary U.K. act Little Angels. Toby gathered around him a bunch of some very talented musicians and formed Wayward Sons.

REVIEW : HELL IN THE CLUB --- See You On The Dark Side (2017, Frontiers Music s.r.l.)

I like this band a lot! With their debut album, "Let The Games Begin", back in 2011, the boys offered a solid record full of memorable hooks and choruses, heavy riffing, powerful vocals and a bad-ass late 80's attitude. But with the next two records, "Devil On My Shoulder" and "Shadow Of The Monster" Hell In The Club nailed it!!!!

Now this is a record that I was looking forward to listening to! Kee Of Hearts is the collaboration between two extremely talented musicians such as Tommy Heart (Fair Warning) and Kee Marcello (Europe). These two gathered a bunch of some also talented musicians like Ken Sandin (ex-Alien) on bass and Italian drummer Marco Di Salvia (Pino Scotto) and nowadays they deliver their excellent debut album KEE OF HEARTS via Frontiers Records.

REVIEW : COLDSPELL -- A New World Arise (2017)

Coldspell is back!!! It's been already four years since the release of the band's "Frozen Paradise" record. So, the waiting is finally over and Coldspell is back in business with a brand new opus, "A New World Arise", that the sure thing is that will put a big smile upon the face of every serious melodic hard rock/metal fan out there.

Australian melodic rocker Joe Matera strikes back with his brand new cd "Heart Of Stone". To be more specific here, "Heart Of Stone" is a mini album that features the brand new single "Heart Of Stone" plus three acoustic live tracks recorded in London during Matera’s earlier European tours and a brand new instrumental track, ‘Live To Rock’ where Matera is accompanied by Australian guitar icon Rick Brewster (The Angels).

After the release of the title track `Highway Demon`, Vanderberg releases with the song `Blue Eyes' the second single from the upcoming album `Highway Demon`, released on September 7, 2017. "Both songs show what the listener can expect: classic, guitar-oriented hard rock" says Vanderberg.

INTERVIEW : CORNERSTONE

With the melodic rock act of Cornerstone you always know what to expect; well-crafted and well-performed melodic rock songs with beautiful vocals and crunchy guitars. With three, already, strong albums on their sleeves, Cornerstone are here in Heavy Paradise to talk about their past, present and future as a band in a very interesting interview. (Alina Peter (Vocals, Guitars) Michael Wachelhofer (Bass, Keyboards)

Heavy Paradise : First of all, I want to welcome you to Heavy Paradise for this interview!

Alina: Thank you very much for having us!

Heavy Paradise : I want to start this interview by saying that your last album, “Reflections”, was a great album all the way. And as I said, in my review “after the first spin, all my expectations were fulfilled in a very positive way!! It's a damn fine rock album that keeps you awake from start to finish”. So, after, almost a year since the release of “Reflections”, how do you feel about this record and are you satisfied from the feedback so far?

Alina: It's an honour to hear that from you! It always feels good to hear positive things about our work! The feedback couldn’t be any better, it has exceeded our expectations.

Of course, there are a few things which we would make different now, but it’s good to never be satisfied. Oliver Cromwell once said “if you stop getting better, you stop being good".
