Kemilon are a six-piece band formed in late 2007, that first saw the light of day in Sherbrooke, QC with founding members guitarist Chris Geoffroy and his brother Carl on keyboards. After a few member changes along the way, the band settled on their permanent line-up and recorded their debut album, Twisted Storm, in 2011.
Twisted Storm is produced and recorded by Kemilon guitarist Louis Jacques at Shreds Up Studios in Magog, QC, and the mix was handled by Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood (PERIPHERY, RED SEAS FIRE) under the direction of Louis. The album was mastered by Peter In De Betou at Tailor Made Productions in Spånga, Sweden (AMON AMARTH, DARK TRANQUILLITY, MESHUGGAH, OPETH, etc.) last October.

Rudhira – Ein 2012

amazing...now
“Ein” is the debut album of the Norwegian band RUDHIRA that has came to life in 2010. RUDHIRA plays a progressive kind of Dark Metal as stated by them and I have no reason to disagree with that. RUDHIRA in Sanskrit means blood but I didn’t manage to confirm that the band is named because of that. Starting from “Ein”’s cover, it reminds me of Dune but other than that I think it is mediocre. Concerning the record there are six songs that go on for approximately 40 minutes. The songs have lots of tempo changes and structures with blast beats, calm parts, sitars, galloping riffs and even some core elements. The vocals are usually clean but there are occasional Death grunts here and there. The production of the record is appropriate and enhances the overall effort of the band. The compositions have some very nice ideas but there are parts that are dull and have no reason of existence. The clean vocals are not fitting and don’t help the songs as there is no emotion within. I have mixed feelings about this record and I think in the end that the band has nothing fresh to offer. Even the ideas that they borrow could be used better. They should work more on their next release if they want to go further and not be just a local live established band.

All Exclusive Heavy Metal |Power Metal Progressive Rock 

2012, Fads and fashions may change on a yearly basis but class is timeless. The Danish boys have been delivering their brand of Progressive Power Metal for twenty years and this ´Best Of` compilation takes us on a journey through the 1990's era of recently restored vocalist D.C. Cooper, an era which arguably saw the band gain their best commercial success and possibly produce their finest work. Remember albums such as CLOWN IN THE MIRROR and MOVING TARGET and not to mention the almighty opus that was PARADOX all represented here. It's easy to forget how big these guys were in the 90's especially in Japan and mainland Europe, with album sales in excess of one million units these guys certainly know what they're doing.

HEVISAURUS!Now!
"Dinosaurs playing heavy metal to the kids". That was the concept that Mirka Rantanen (drummer of Thunderstone) came up with a few years ago, and HEVISAURUS was born. Two highly successful albums were released under that name, but last year things went sour between Rantanen and the band's label Sony. Lawsuits, dirty dinosaur suits and insults were flying all over the internet and media, and as a result, things are a bit complicated now. There are actually two dinosaur bands now touring and recording in Finland: Sony-owned Hevisaurus which includes the orignal vocalist and production team/songwriters and SAURUXET, Rantanen and the original live band with a new vocalist. Sauruxet were the first to release new material, and apparently the new monicker didn't alienate them from their audience - the band went straight to number two on the Finnish Top 40 chart this week. Without diving any deeper into the waves of controversy (or is it too late already?), let's take a look at the album...

Now!Exclusive!
Dirt Rock, defined as the sour mash blend of hard rock, classic rock, blues, and metal.
Late 2011 brought about the birth of Pittsburgh, PA’s RULE OF TWO. With the band’s inception, their brand of rock n’ roll was also born: Dirt Rock, an amalgamation of blues, classic rock, and heavy metal. Beaver locals Aaron Bender (vocals/guitars) and Flavion Mancini (drums) left their alt-rock band shirtcollarsmile in order to explore their own songwriting skills and focus more on their hard rock/metal roots. After going through a multitude of bass players, Bender and Mancini were forced to place an ad in Craigslist. Lured by the promise of money, shows, and (mainly) beer, journeyman bassist Herm Staving (Downfall, ex-One Step Away, ex-Without Fail, etc.)—also a Beaver native looking for a hard rock-based project—joined the fold, rounding out the trio. Now armed with an arsenal of material and a six-song EP, Hair of the Dog, RULE OF TWO is bringing Dirt Rock to any and all venues that will open their doors to the band. So stop by a show, buy a CD, maybe get the guys a beer; experience the unique sounds grown from these roots.

now...rrrhhhh
Besides the ordered EP of Caroline, the label Hyena Records has also sent us the latest album of Isäntä Meidän. The album entitled "Toinen Tuleminen" [The Second Coming] represents, logically, the second release of the quintet from Kokkola/Finland. The album cover promises Metal and even though the press release specifies the genre with Heavy Metal and Heavy Rock, in the end it`s rather Power Metal than anything else - and thus it isn`t really my taste. BUT, the opener "Vapise Vanha Valta" has a nice intro, starts in a strong way and the chorus knows how to please even a non-Power Metal fan like me. The guitar sound on the second track "Mies" is intoxicating as well. The dramatic shouts - which are typical for this genre and appear besides "Mies" amongst others on "Mestarin

yes!eahhh!!...now
In 1987 guitarist Alexey Belov, vocalist Nikolay Noskov, bassist Alexander "Big Sasha" Minkov, guitarist Jan Ianenkov, and drummer Alexander Lvov (formerly from Aria) came together to form Gorky Park. Stas Namin, a famous 70's soviet musician, became the band's manager. Because Gorbachev lifted the censorship, many underground rock bands, including Gorky Park, became able to receive more widespread popularity. Later that year the band left Russia for the United States in search of a record deal.
In the U.S. the band soon made some connections in the record business. One of the first people to take notice was famous guitarist Frank Zappa.Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora also helped them to secure a deal with Mercury Records.
Ugly Kid Joe – Stairway To Hell (2012) EP

Stairway to Hell, Ugly Kid Joe’s reunion EP, wasn’t scheduled to be released until June 5… but the band decided to release it a week early for whatever reason, so it’s actually out now. You can purchase a legal download here or stream it below.
I’ve listened to it and it’s… well, it’s not bad. It’s not great, though. It’s certainly a million times better than 1996?s Motel California, which was the band’s last official release — but it’s not nearly as much fun as either America’s Least Wanted or Menace to Sobriety, which remains the band’s high points. I’m still waiting for that feel-good album which I’m gonna rock all summer long… I don’t think this is it.

GASOLINE INC is a new young band from Australia who have been playing together for five years. Their 2010 single 'Superstar' was picked up by the local TV network and used as the backdrop track for weekly sporting highlights and gained the band immense credibility.
Relocating from their native Perth to Melbourne, the undisputed 'rock capital' of Australia, their new EP "The Wanted One" should be the beacon that lights their way.

The band members are very unsteady in the first three years of activity; despite this, the first lyrics see the light and the band start to share the first concerts. On 4th february 2006 the band released the first demo, called '4 songs from death valley' where intentional heavy metal influences can be noticed, but not clear because the line-up failed to give a precise genre tag. In the summer of 2007 remained just Ste, Teo and Bnj who engaged the new drummer, Mattia Ugg?. After prepared the new songs, the band restarted live shows that occupied them for all the following year,
