NOW!

The album title befits the man. Joe Stump can shred and shred some more.Revenge of the Shredlord is Joe Stump's ninth solo album. The Berklee College of Music Associate Professor lets it rip in the neo-classical heavy metal style.

Essentially, except for a short reprieve in Master's Prelude, Stump bursts from the gates and never looks back. He rattles your ears with his electrifying speed and dexterity. While some past material showed extensive diversification of guitar styles, there's no question that his is a heavy metal shred album. The tone may also feel a little more dark and foreboding. At the very least the song titles reflect it: Enter the Coven, Evil Beasts Below, or The Black Knight's Castle.

“This band had a very high production to their sound and an almost movie soundtrack like feeling to the set”
Live Music Weekly

Butterfly Stone is a five piece band originally formed by Emmy Award winning composer and producer Mark Willott. The original idea was to create music without compromise, beyond the limitations of what a standard rock band can deliver. A unique combination of Guitars, horn sections, full orchestrations & dirty underground synths are just part of the collaboration that Butterfly Stone call upon to create their truly original sound.

Hailing from West New York and New Jersey is Pyramada with their debut disc, Now Is The Time. Brothers Paul (Bass) and Pete Pollio (Vocals/Guitar) started out as a garage band doing covers and later developed into a tribute band. These experiences likely account for the depth of Pyramada's songs.

The larger canvas is classic melodic hard rock, yet with notes of heavy metal. Madman, People Talk or Mind Abuse easily fit this category. Then there's also some modern nuances, perhaps a taste of post-grunge rock, with Walk Away, If I Should, and Wild Child. Yet that last song easily straddles the fence between both old and new school rock. And I think that's what Pyramada is going for throughout this album.

NOW!

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.

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.
