When I first heard that former Crank County Daredevils guitarist Adam Stevens had a new project I almost wet myself in anticipation -- that's how good his previous band was. So I was a bit disappointed when I first spun the Southbound Saints debut EP From The Clutches Of Grace -- not because it is horrible, but because it doesn't come close to CCD in the sleaze department. These really are two different beasts -- the Crank County Daredevils were a sleazy outfit that proudly gave the mainstream the middle finger while the Southbound Saints often sound as if they are trying too hard for some recognition -- although I can't blame anyone for craving success in their chosen field.

ARTHEMIS – We Fight 2012

NOW!
Formed in 1999 by guitarist Andrea Martongelli,Arthemis are an Italian heavy/thrash metal band and are about to release their seventh album, We Fight,through fledgling record label Off Yer Rocka Recordings.
I was first introduced to Arthemis nearly 2 ½ years ago on the sun kissed island of Ibiza at the first Hard Rock Hell Ibiza Road Trip, where they played possibly the best unplugged set I’ve ever seen (check out the YouTube vids when you can, you won’t regret it!!) and two brilliant full electric sets, so I was well chuffed when I was offered the chance to review this new album.
Choosing to open the album with instrumental trackApocalyptic Nightmare is a winning idea for me. It beats the usual cheesy intro as has become the fashion in metal just now, I just wish Arthemis hadn’t played it quite so safe and done something with a bit more edge and clout to it.
Since leaving Nightwish, Tarja Turunen has accomplished much, not the least of which is several well-received solo albums. Now she embarks on something rather ambitious, a live concert CD/DVD. Act 1 was recorded and filmed in Rosario, Argentina in full high definition using 10 cameras in the beautiful Teatro El Círculo. You can get a taste of the video recording by visiting her website.
Having not received the DVD, I'll be speaking, briefly, about the audio recording. Having seen the video excerpts, including the video for the previously unreleased Into the Sun, the DVD should be the point of interest, and the CD side pales in comparison.
Nevertheless, the CD recording is well-produced and mixed, putting Ms. Turunen clearly at the front. Tarja's lyric soprano style and three octave range is truly amazing, and the symphonic metal only propels her forward.

50 am Neon Heart – Out Of My Hands 2012

NOW!
In 25 words or less: “With enough rock chops to mix it with the hard rockers, they have enough catchiness and hooks for those who simply appreciate catchy rock.”
Sydney rockers Neon Heart have been plying their craft for a few years now and on this their second EP, they deliver five tracks of some pretty addictive kick ass rock. Basing their reputation upon their energetic live show, (which being from Melbourne, I haven’t had the opportunity of witnessing yet) Out Of My Hands certainly sets about trying to catch that raw energy and live feel on disc.
