NOW!Like a Led Zeppelin Rush Yes

Mike Pietrini's music is made up of an edgy. but melodic sound, with interesting lyrics/chord & riff sequences and lots of guitar layers.

BLOODGOOD was one of the most underrated American Hard Rock acts of the '80s, perhaps due their Christian origins. But they were a real quality band in the genre.
After two pretty heavy albums, they changed the musical approach to the dominating glossy-sounding Hard Rock around 1988.
"Rock In A Hard Place" is one of my favorite albums in this style from the 2nd half of the eighties.
It's commercial yet defiant, melodic, with catchy songs and that 'big' production; razor compressed guitars courtesy of the great David Zaffiro, shouting vocals, bombastic drums and even some keyboards into the mix.
Talking about the mix, there's was a big problem with the original release of "Rock In A Hard Place": the bass lines were almost completely missing.

Well, Lordi are back! (not exactly back but ok, at least they released something new after their 2010 album "Babez For Breakfast". The band has been through way too many changes since BFB release, drummer Kita left, his replacement Otus died this year and almost 2 months ago keyboardist Awa left as well..
"Bend Over And Pray The Lord" is an old demo, recorded back in 1996 with members only Mr. Lordi on vocals, Amen on guitars, Enary on keyboards and G-Stealer on bass..so let's see what "Bend Over And Pray The Lord" is..

These days you're never to old to rock and roll. Aerosmith is still touring with Steven Tyler a year a way from Social Security, and the Stones are talking about it again, too. Hardly youngsters any more, England's Magnum returns with eighteenth studio album, On the Thirteenth Day.

This album is representative Magnum: nice melodic rock, sometimes edgy and heavy, sometimes with nods to progressive rock. That's not a bad thing at all. Familiarity should not breed contempt, as long time fans will certainly dig this album.

I've always found Magnum more interesting when they mix a heavier side to more provocative arrangements as on Dance of the Black Tattoo or Broken Promises. Yet, the band can also offer the hooks and accessibility of simple catchy rock with So Let It Rain and the amusing Didn't Like You Anyway. Magnum is not without some symphonic melancholy as well on Putting Things in Place.

NOW!YES YES...

French metal band Venturia returns with their third album, Dawn of a New Era, which could refer to their becoming a four piece act. Vocalist Marc Ferreira has been gone since 2009, with founder and guitarist Charly Sahona taking over to compliment Lydie Lazulli's leads.

Musically, however, this album could have been called Hybrid II, though it has a more commercial melodic metal feel than progressive metal. Venturia continues to pump in the sequences and synths, familiar to the previous work. Secret Dream, A New Dawn Rising, What We're Here For, and What If are all examples of Venturia mixing metal with a groove equally suitable for a European rave session or a heavy metal arena.

Joshua Munday is an Australian guitar player who has been part of various recording sessions and endorsed by guitar gear companies Roland or Boss, Joshua has demonstrated guitar products to thousands of people in the past few years and co-headlined many festivals including the Sydney Guitar Show.
"Days Where I Began" is his debut album, under the JOSHUA moniker.

Joshua is not only a dexterous guitar player, he's also a good songwriter and a well trained vocalist. If I had to choose a reference to his music, instantly Richie Kotzen comes to mind.
"Days Where I Began" rocks across twelve immediate tracks under the 4-minute mark, mixing bluesy hard rock tunes with some commercial heavy-funk overtones.
Joshua's support band is tight & dynamic, special mention to drummer Nick Pansini who provides an excellent rhythm and great fills, giving to Joshoa a strong foundation for his sharp riffs and interesting solos.
