AOR HEAVEN to release new albums from BLOOD RED SAINTS & P.A.L. on January 26th, 2018!

Following on from their critically acclaimed 2015 independent debut album 'Speedway' Blood Red Saints make a welcome return with a brand new selection of top class hard rock. 'Love Hate Conspiracies' sees the band make a progression into a more focused direction. Pete Godfrey (vocals) tells us more. 

"The Speedway album was a great debut for us no doubt about that but this new album is a massive step forward. We've really found our own sound and identity with this material, it feels a lot more cohesive and is without doubt, heavier in style. This feels like a real band all pulling together"

AERODYNE: 'COMIN' FOR YOU' SINGLE AVAILABLE FOR STREAMING

'Comin' For You', first single taken from the forthcoming Aerodyne's new album "Breaking Free", is now finally available with an official videoclip on Youtube and for streaming on Spotify. All other digital platforms will follow soon.



"Breaking Free" is set for release on December 15, 2017 via Street Symphonies Records / Burning Minds Music Group, distributed by Sound Trek in Italy, AnderStein Music in Japan and Plastic Head in the rest of the World.  

STRAY BULLETS: DEAL WITH SNEAKOUT RECORDS

Sneakout Records is glad to announce the signing of Italian hard rockers Stray Bullets for the release of their debut album. Their story begins back in 2007, when this hard rock combo coming from Verona (north of Italy) started to write the first songs together, in order to move their first steps for the making of their first studio album. It took three years to record and self-release "Lost Soul Town", a demo/album with ten tracks entirely played and recorded by the band as a home-made recording.

REVIEW : Samarkind --- Samarkind (Self Release, 2017)

After the success of the band's lead single "Sun Stroke Sun", it's time Samarkind to release their debut album. To be honest, the name of Samarkind was a stranger to me till now that I received a copy for my review. The one thing that I did right away was to listen the lead single "Sun Stroke Sun". Man, this song rock big time! Somewhere between earlier Thunder and Inglorious this tune grabbed my attention at once!

REVIEW : ROMEO RIOT --- Sing It Loud (2017, Kivel Records)

This band looks very very promising, no doubt about that. A band that consists of Ty Sims on bass (Bombay Black), Erik Johnson on guitars and vocals (Bombay Black), the extraordinary Scott Miller on guitars (Tango Down), Mark Giovi on lead vocals (Former Vocalist of Farcry – High Gear and Optimism albums) and, also, J. Pawlak on vocals can't be bad!!! No way!!

REVIEW : SANTA CRUZ --- BAD BLOOD RISING (2017)

Now this is a monster release, believe me! Santa Cruz returns to the music business with this simply breathtaking and killer record. "Bad Blood Rising" is entitled Santa Cruz's newest opus and it's pure f@&*n' adrenaline!! This baby sounds like the bastard child of Skid Row, Guns N' Roses and Shotgun Messiah but there's a lot more than this. It's an album that includes all the muscle, all the attitude and all that to become really huge!

REVIEW : Devilfire --- Dark Manoeuvres (2017)

Let's get one thing clear here; this album rocks and it rocks big time!! Man, this came out of nowhere to rock my world and, for damn sure, this is one of the biggest surprises so far. But who is DEVILFIRE really? Devilfire is the brainstorm of Alex Cooper (Shy, Spike of the Quireboys, Ginger), who wanted to create a new melodic hard rock band. "Dark Manoeuvres" is entitled this surprisingly good album that grabbed my attention at once!

REVIEW : DEVOID – Cup Of Tears (2017, MelodicRock Records)


The new project by Melodic Rock Records is called DEVOID.

REVIEW : Raintimes -- Raintimes (2017, Frontiers Music s.r.l.)

Now this is another release that I was looking forward to listen. After the three amazing singles that I've heard (Forever Gone, Swan and Don't Ever Give Up) I was blown away and I was waiting patiently to receive the promo to write my review. But let's take things from the start and see some things about 'who is who' Raintimes.

REVIEW : PRETTY BOY FLOYD --- Public Enemies (2017, Frontiers Music s.r.l.)

"We're black on black.We're a sex attack.We're the bullet boys.We're rocking with the sonic blast. We're leather boyz with electric toyz. We're making noise tonight. We're leather boyz with electric toyz. We're making noise tonight" that was, and still is for me, Pretty Boy Floyd's biggest success back then, period!! Anthemic, bad-ass with tons of spandex and make-up these sleaze motherf*&ers rocked my world at once.

AERODYNE: 'BREAKING FREE' DETAILS UNVEILED

"Breaking Free", first full-length of swedish hard rockers Aerodyne, is set for release on December 15, 2017 via Street Symphonies Records / Burning Minds Music Group, distributed by Sound Trek in Italy, AnderStein Music in Japan and Plastic Head in the rest of the World. With their first EP and music video "Old Flames Die Hard" ( https://youtu.be/mXajKcYa7zA ), Aerodyne got the attention of rock fans all over the world, taking the decision of entering the studio in early 2017 in order to record their first full-length. 
The result is finally available in the ten outstanding tracks of "Breaking Free", in which they show a powerful and dangerous mix of Scandi Glam and Sleaze Rock, driven by a big and unquestionable attitude. 

The Poodles are back with "PRISMA" the follow-up to the critically acclaimed album “Devil in the Details”!


The Poodles have released seven full-length studio albums and one live album over the past ten years and had discussed the possibility of doing an album featuring songs from other artists for several years. They finally decided that it was time!
 
The title, “PRISMA” is meant to reflect the difference in perspective that the band brings to the songs on the album. The decision was made early to stay away from genres close to the band’s own, but other than that, any song could come into question for making the cut.
 
In collaboration with up-and-coming producer, Dino Medanhodzic at Radionica Studios, the band came up with a slate of songs that span some 40 years of music, from the 1970s up to the 2010s! The deciding factor was the quality of the song where a strong hook and a driving riff were key ingredients.
 
Fans of Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Depeche Mode, Blondie, and The Swedish House Mafia are in for a treat, as The Poodles put their unique stamp on classic tracks by these and other artists!
 

PRISMA is out in virtual and physical stores on January 26th 2018!

Heroes Don´t Ask Why from Finland

Heroes Don’t Ask Why is a Finnish rock metal band formed in 2015. In the spring 2016 line-up was finished in its current form with a drummer Kimmo Puhakka taking his place behind the drum kit. The music that followed was melodic divorce metal with a rock attitude. All things advanced rapidly and first self-titled six song album was released in December 2016. 

Twin-guitar attack by cousins Jussi Pajunpää and Matias Kaunisvesi is both aggressive and in the next moment, mellow melancholic bluesy flow of notes. There’s a clear hint of a Scandinavian metal roots but with added quest for a tender guitar work.
