NOW!YES YES...
French metal band Venturia returns with their third album, Dawn of a New Era, which could refer to their becoming a four piece act. Vocalist Marc Ferreira has been gone since 2009, with founder and guitarist Charly Sahona taking over to compliment Lydie Lazulli's leads.
Musically, however, this album could have been called Hybrid II, though it has a more commercial melodic metal feel than progressive metal. Venturia continues to pump in the sequences and synths, familiar to the previous work. Secret Dream, A New Dawn Rising, What We're Here For, and What If are all examples of Venturia mixing metal with a groove equally suitable for a European rave session or a heavy metal arena.
As we told you on facebook, not all these songs will end up on the album. In Charlie’s opinion, the best albums contains 10 songs. But it is really hard to kill any of these ones. We’ll see what happens.
The first single + video for the song The Lost River Band will be released in very soon.
And about the cover: It’s an old painting by Luis Ricardo Falero called “The Departure of the Witches” made in 1878, that we stumbled over a year ago, and it just screamed our name!

Stellaria studied at Musicians Institute Macedonia, Greece. Since 2004 she is performing in various blues, jazz, soul, funk, latin, pop bands in Nothern Greece. Jimmy Nore is a well known Shredder in their region, performing flawless covers of famous guitar players such as Steve Vai, Andy James etc. He is also the composer and lyricist of all their songs. Mike G studied at Musicians institute Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Since 2005 he is teaching music to young students. Johny k is a virtuoso drummer from Xanthi who studied under the famous Greek teacher Anastasiadis. He is performing countless lives every year.
It all started from an idea between the two basic and original members, Mikki (bass & vocals) and Cioxxx (drums) back in 2005. After several line-up changes, they settled down and Mikki finally took over the vocals as well. What they wanted to do was to play rock & roll with a little bit of garage & punk music without any compromises. Adding elements from The Hellacopters, Gluecifer, Imperial State Electric (mostly), Backyard Babies, Hardcore Superstar, Hanoi Rocks and so on... they started writing their own tunes. With lyrics talking about sex, fun, good time, drugs & girls you can’t bypass the fact that those youngsters wanna party all day long.

NOW!SWORD OF...
"Black Jack", the second LP of Power metallers of Spanish, will be available on Sept. 26 thanks to the Holy Grail Records label. Below you can see a promotional trailer, which contains extracts of the songs that make the album. Very interesting the proposal
of the band.
If, like West Virginia stoner rockers Karma To Burn, you've got huge guitar riffs and gargantuan grooves on tap, why bow to convention and have a 'whining, posing douche-bag at a microphone' spoiling all your fun? That's exactly what Karma To Burn thought back in 1996 when they were offered a deal with Roadrunner Records. Here were three guys having a ball, knocking out some quite superb uncompromising, bulldozing stoner grooves as an instrumental power trio free of the complications a singer brings to the table. The only problem was that Roadrunner were not having any of it. The deal, and the money, was on the table on the condition they get themselves a singer. The lure of the filthy lucre was too much to resist, so singer Jay Jarosz was recruited and vocals were added to what became their first album, 'Karma To Burn'. Things didn't exactly work out though, so Jarosz was ejected, the band lost the deal and returned to their original incarnation as an instrumental trio.

I'm quite sure most of us have a hard luck story from our childhood, our teenage years certainly; that 'outcast' feeling of being a rock fan definitely applies to most of you who make your way to these cyber pages. Well, imagine then that you had been born in a war torn country in the Middle East, where religious zealots and politicians try and control every aspect of life. Well, that's the fascinating backdrop to which this band, The Kordz, was formed originally whilst the guys were at university in Lebanon in the early nineties.

NOW! Is Not Sex...
Melodic Metal band Scar for life was founded by guitarist Alexandre Santos in 2008 following his compositional work with ‘Redstains’. Creating songs from vitriolic, groovy assaults to soft acoustic pieces this band is set to make an emotional yet powerful stand. 3 Minute Silence, is the bands third album to make a shout in the world. Recorded at Pressplay Studio at the begining of 2012, features a new lineup and an handful of guests such as Violinist Anne Vitorino d’Almeidam, Finnish singer Kari Vahakuopus (CATAMENIA) and British keyboardist Ged Ryland(ex-TEN). Drummer Joao Colaco (ex-MORE THAN A THOUSAND) stepped in whilst guitarist Sergio Fariaadded new depth on live performances.
Dig deep into the loo certainly have no one to whom the band met 2Ugly2Die first time - in the toilet cover art or not. For the trio's music is far from grottig or shit, but can be heard in the general. The Berlin go though. In the self-imposed "rapture of the deep", which seems to mean the bottom line is however that one of the German Rock missed a damn heavy bias and thus the direction of heavy rock and stoner-squint
The ten tracks collected here almost rolling over the listener away, cover of rolling over slowly threatening to tough all typical nuances. The "rapture of the deep" turns out to be so as extremely heavy rock interpretation of dirty Gröhlgesang and metal guitar riffs.

NOW!Like a ZZ TOP...
In an ocean of pop and teen influenced country music recurrently being produced in Nashville, the Linemen's sound is a vessel of true country authenticity.
What strikes you almost immediately upon hearing the sound of the Kentucky Linemen’s music, is how utterly distinctive it is. Distinctive, yet familiar.
Recalling tinges of The Gatlins and Alabama, the Kentucky Linemen's harmonies are a driving force behind their signature sound. In an ocean of pop and teen influenced country music recurrently being produced in Nashville, the Linemen's sound is a vessel of true country authenticity. Music Row Magazine's Robert K. Oermann said; "Hearty harmonies are the hallmark here. The Kentucky Linemen sing with immense gusto". Oermann declared the boys Music Row Magazine's DisCovery Award Winner in July of 2010. Along with the brothers' soulful sibling harmonies you'll be treated to bonuses. James Fletcher's SRV/Chet Atkins/Pete Anderson influenced, reckless, yet never crash and burn playing style and tone will have you rewinding more than once. If you're a foot tapper/dashboard beater, damage is likely with twin brother, Jon, behind the drum kit layin' down his rock solid beats and keepin' the downbeat deep "in the pocket". No vocal group is complete without a lead vocalist who has style and skill enough to help set their sound apart from all other pro bands. Lead vocalist and youngest brother, Mitchell, will convince your ears quickly he has this position filled and covered with range, tone, and a smokey outlaw rigid delivery second to none.
