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
Aug 24, 2012 16:43
All Exclusive Hard Rock
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.

All Exclusive Blues Rock
NOW!
It might be me, but I'm not really smart of the above 3 Dayz Whizkey to-find information. One thing is probably that the band in the Bavarian city of Regensburg is located and from three (how many this or any other band name?) Permanent members (TG Copperfield, Little Chris and Big Tony), which on at live performances currently by Brad The Snake the rhythm guitar and Tyler Myles is supported as a singer. On the debut album by blues rocker the latter two were involved as yet.
The guitarist and sole songwriter Copperfield (the next two cover versions of the remaining pieces come) has only accepted for two numbers of the lead vocals, the entire balance was delivered by guest vocalists. What 3 Dayz Whizkey downright celebrate the ten tracks is present, powerful blues rock that will probably bring every club this globe sweat. The power trio makes lot of steam, but never forgets to let sentimental and soulful moments to advantage.

REVERSE GRIP – NASTY REPUTATION 2011

All Exclusive Hard Rock
NOW!
Reverse Grip is a Canadian rock band made up of three brothers and influenced by the party anthems of the eighties. Like those earlier bands, they wear their bad attitude on their sleeves for all to see and sing about it for all to hear. Their debut four-song EP is titled Nasty Reputation.
It takes only two listens for the title track, "Nasty Reputation", to stick in your head. Catchy is a gross understatement of the bands ability to marry a hook and melody, and this song proves it. Dru Broda's vocals switch from melodic to classic rock with a hint of punk, all with ease. The guitar solos from Sean Broda and even the cowbell, played by Dylan Broda, mixes well, creating a recipe for an addictive tune. The band released a video for this first track that accompanies the song nicely, showcasing the band in action without taking themselves too seriously.
