One clue to Brent Enman's musical heritage and style is revealed on one signature song, 'Man of the Past,' from his debut disc Wildman. 'Please get me outta here, to 1969, that's when I want to be alive,' Enman croons, 'then I'd be feeling fine.' Enman's interest is in classic rock, maybe not quite as far back as '69, but definitely mid-Seventies to early Eighties.

Enman is a musical prodigy, talented multi-instrumentalist who performed every instrument, and all vocals, on Wildman. It's the culmination of a life long dream, and he certainly captures the classic rock sound. However, 'Wildman' may be a misnomer for him and this album.

Canadian hard rockers DANIEL BAND are undoubtedly one of the pioneering forces behind '80s American Christian Hard Rock.
They debuted in 1982 with 'On Rock', and subsequently recorded four albums. Despite its arena rock hooks and heat, surprisingly attracted limited attention largely due to bad mangement and promotion.
Daniel Band has never officially broken up, although a farewell concert was held in Toronto, Canada in 1988. The band has reformed for the occasional gig over the years, including the 2001 Cornerstone Festival appearance that was recorded and released on CD. The band members have also been involved with various side projects including vocalist McCabe's project Dreamer.

Formed amidst the Steelworks town of Corby, Northamptonshire, their very own first chapter was born: ‘Chapter One’ and set the scene for Viking Skull. Top notch reviews were abundant and a landmark 11/10 review from Metal Hammer lead the band to secure a busy touring schedule supporting the likes of Alice Cooper, HIM, Clutch and Dio! 2005 saw Viking Skull release ‘Born in Hell’  but we believe a bottle or two of Absinthe is to blame for what then became a two year break… isn’t it always!

Now...From Germany

No doubt POINTERS HEAD belongs to the live bands, they not only open a barrel, they shut it again! And they do this with an intensity that all immediately makes it clear in which direction it goes: next! After ten years finding, patience, development and hard work, place 2 in the category ' hard'n'heavy of the "German Rock & Pop Award can 2006" and successfully seasoned European Tour 2008 with L. A. Guns, POINTERSHEAD enters now, perfectly positioned, the entire world with the concept album "Worst Case SOCIETY" into the socially battered face. With a remarkably rich sound, distinctive 80he influences and a brimful scoop of pressure, recruited POINTERS HEAD evening for evening tirelessly supporters of the head army. It shall be closed to focus these days on a world, which overruns us again and again with pursuing crosses. POINTERSHEAD takes degree and hits the bullseye. And the head army moves with "Worst Case Society" through the countries and mobilised to cogiatation and dissenting.

The last Steve Cichon album I heard was 2010's "Cranial Feedback", a release that was full of skill and technique, but ultimately not that exciting. New one "Heavy Sleeper" is a similar beast, though fortunately the adrenaline levels are pumped up several notches making it a lot more then mere background music.

The sound is still a combination of jazz, prog metal, hard rock and occasional electronica, but a lot more effort has been put into the variety and the spunkiness of the rhythms this time. Gone are the stupid live crowd effects, gone are the very fake drums, being replaced by fake but considerably better percussion sounds. The result is enthusiastic, interesting and a lot more energetic than the guy on the artwork.

Inanimus Theory is a four-piece metal band from Suffolk that settled into its current guise in the autumn of 2010. 'Unarmed Power' is their recently released debut and the product of a band who "love to try and be creative and are not afraid to bring something new to the table".

The band is made up of Syz on vocals and rhythm guitar, Bidley on lead guitar, bassist Matt and drummer Gibby. With a look to match the aggressive riffs of their music, Syz told us that it is the live performances that the band really live for. "We write our songs with the live show in mind, not the studio. In other words, what you hear on the CD is what you're going to get live. We don't add effects to the album that we can't replicate on stage."

DAWN OF DESTINY hatten in den letzten Jahren immer wieder Besetzungswechsel zu beklagen, was vor allem die Position an den Drums angeht. Nach Veröffentlichung des letzten Albums "Human Fragility" verließ leider auch die langjährige Sängerin Tanja Maul die Band. Wer nun meint, dass die Jungs rund um Songwriter und Komponist Jens Faber das Ganze ad Acta gelegt haben, der liegt komplett daneben. Mit Jeanette Scherff konnte man eine neue Konstante an den Vocals finden, die auch mit ihrer Performance ein riesiger Gewinn für diese Band ist, so bringt sie doch einiges an Vielfalt mit.
