Now!

I'm giving this a 4. to me, the only reason I can't score a 5 for this band's songs at the moment is that the screamo vocals are not up to the league of the clean. This band will no doubt score some airplay but it's mainly the clean vocals setting it aside from other bands. This guy's voice is really strong, and does really interesting harmonies. The music is very good. Great job, don't take what I said about the screamo too harshly.

On July 3, Cleopatra Records will release the fifth studio record from Pittsburgh, PA-based melodic metallers Icarus Witch. RISE is an epic twelve-track display of songwriting and musicianship from one of the most-watched heavy music bands of the decade.

From the driving, anthemic “(We Are) The New Revolution” to its equally commanding following track “Rise,” Icarus Witch demonstrates impeccable harmonies, head-spinning dual guitar work, and hammering rhythm. Lyrically, the band is digging deep into themes of control (loss of, and taking it back), empowerment (within and without), and faith (and keeping it).

Vs. the Sea of Disease is a record that works on multiple levels, though some tend to be better than others. The album is really at its best when Feel Never Real do their best Rev Theory impersonation and infuse their southern tinged rock with some extra balls and gritty heft (“Drunkstar Anthem,” “Less Hopeless”), but still, it’s not too shabby when the band fires off one radio ready tune after another (“Sea of Disease,” “Always Over”). If Vs. the Sea of Disease was more of the former and less the latter, it would be better for it. Though Feel Never Real sound better during those moments they decide to keep the gas pedal pressed firmly to the floor, charging ahead guns ablaze, nothing should be taken away from their tempered moments, moments in which could find the band some airplay sooner than later. One recurring theme of Vs. the Sea of Disease is the talents of singer Tim Jones, a rock frontman whose voice happens to fall somewhere in-between Shinedown’s Brent Smith and Alterbridge’s Myles Kennedy.

From a glance at their picture, this band seems to be too young to have a sound with the feeling of late Seventies and early Eighties hard rock. But this small five song EP finds Future Shock channeling some entertaining classic rock.

Fortunately, Future Shock has the chops, the musicianship, to develop this sound in a fresh way, avoiding, would could be, the possibility of cliche or homage. Future Shock gets to root of hard rock: big riffs, strong sense of melody, nice hooks and, notably, a strong groove.

Unless you've been living under a rock or have had your fingers firmly shoved deep into your ears for the last 5 or 6 years you should know all about THE ANSWER by now.
As Northern Ireland's permanent representatives on the classic rock circuit, these 4 boys from County Down are veterans at their trade.
The band has new material ready, the new 4-track "Rise EP" due for release on July 2 on their own TAP label, which clearly demonstrates everything they have learnt first-hand from their heroes over the years.

The Finnish STRATOVARIUS have returned; this time with the release of a live CD/DVD which at the same time is a farewell to the drummer Jörg Michael, as this was one of the last times he sat behind the drums. Some will see this release as sentimental while others, more cynical, will not fail to underline the capitalization on the behalf of the band for promotional reasons, and one of the crucial and certain points here is that the departure will bring some changes to the sound of the band and the release is like a mark to judge the before and after.

Hailing from that Black Metal hotbed of Norway come the decidedly non Black Metal band Fastlane Flower. Yes, as difficult as it may be to believe, Norway has given us other metal besides Black Metal. Take Fastlane Flower for example, they have just released their debut album called"Deadline" and musically the band treads familiar hard rock/metal territory, but in their own energetic presentation. The opening song "Agent of Chaos" has almost a prog-like feel to it, thanks to the keyboard part near the middle of the track. Next up is "State of Emergency" which could have some mainstream appeal if given the chance. Some male screaming vocals are provided here and accompanied by a chainsaw like guitar riff that gets the job done. "Monkey Business" is next and after slower tempo to start the song, the band picks up the speed and tempo as this song races to its completion. "Blue Moon" is one of the heavier tracks that showcase a nice chugging guitar riff, before changing tempos from fast to slow and back again. Other highlights include: "Secret Archive" and "Before I’m Gone", "Coping With the Loss of Beauty" and "At the Rainbow’s End". In the end, some stuff on "Deadline" works and others not so much.  Still, Fastlane Flower has delivered a good effort for a debut album and one that should bode well for the future of this Norwegian outfit.

My love for Piggy Dee knows no boundaries. I consider it one of the most underrated, versatile and advanced musicians of our time. Beating with Wednesday 13, Alice Cooper and currently playing in the group Rob Zombie, he managed to release «The Evacuation Plan» - an album that is very enjoyable and unusual blend of hard rock and pop-punk, in 2011 and 2012 continued to Piggy delight us with his solo career, releasing one by one their singles «Can't Blame You», «God Save The Queen Bee», «The Locust Dance», «1975" (all - sounding quite different from each other), are constantly traveling while on tour with Rob Zombie.
