To add the extra something to the album's final result, the band have tapped Fates Warning's legendary singer Ray Alder for a truly impressive guest appearence on the song "Deeper Signs". The band is influenced by classic acts such as Rushand proggressive giants like Fates Warning and Dream Theater. Mixing and mastering duties are handled by Staffan Karlsson (Stevie Wonder, Roxette, Firewind) and the complete artwork was taken care by Gustavo Sazes (Manowar, Kamelot).

Paul Reed Smith (founder of PRS Guitars) and Derek St Holmes (former guitarist for Ted Nugent) spent two years writing these songs with Mike Ault and Gary and Greg Grainger contributing. The CD is centered around Derek's voice, the powerful Grainger Brother's rythym section and Michael and Paul's guitar teamwork. Derek has an international reputation for being one of the best voices in rock. Basic tracks were recorded live at the Mechanic Theatre in Baltimore and mixed at Paul's studio and mastered by Bob Ludwig, owner of Gateway Mastering. A crisp mix of rock and soul.
"Guitarist JP Cervoni has the ability to grab your attention and hold it with the palm of his hand.
His captivating phrasing and endless blues-rock-fusion riffs shows just how free
he is in expressing his heartfelt music."
JP Cervoni has worked with some of the top players and producers that L.A. has to offer, such asSimon Phillips (The Who/Toto), Buddy Miles (Hendrix), Walfredo Reyes Jr. (Santana), Frank Gambale, Vinnie Colauta, Tony Levin, Ike Willis (Frank Zappa), Phil Soussan (Ozzy Osbourne), Jeff Babko, Marco Mendoza, Jimi Earl, Carl Verheyen and Steve Lukather just to name a few, in a career spanning decades.
The Helsinki based Rock / Hard Rock band Crimsonic will release their debut album "Silence Too Loud" on May 16th, 2012. The album was recorded mainly at the Rockstar Productions studio in Hyvinkää with Lari Takala and the previously released singles Journey (Oct 19th, 2011) and Avoided (Jan 13th, 2012) at the Amplisonic studio in Napue.
When Diamondog is ripping it up Motorhead-style, "Kill Me" kills. When the band slows down — and it slows down quite a bit — the album becomes a bit of a lifeless affair.
The album blasts out of the gates with "Hurt," which has a nice punky style, with a chugging riff and slithering lead guitar part, courtesy of Morten Husvik and Havard Traethaug. The song also gives Mikael Lillevold a chance to show off his pipes. Then, it's off to another speedy rocker, "Kill Me," with Frode Heistad's bass pleasantly prevalent in the mix. So far, so good.
"Lost In Tranquility" is a nice Foo Fighters-type poppy track, with an easily-sung-along-with chorus and nice wah-wah guitar part. So far, so good.

TEODOR TUFF – Soliloquy 2012

Norwegian Melodic Metal...Now
One thing I don't get is why you put 23 minutes of silence at the end of the eleven songs, only exception is at the very end where a guy turns up to say: "and stop" in Norwegian, a complete waste of time! But the 51 minutes that precede that are a very positive surprise...
While their first album should have clear 70s references this one has strong references to Scandinavian power metal with fine twists and turns into various other territories. Teodor Tuff sounds fresh and unspoiled, even though Sonata Arctica comes to mind more than once, and their songs are well written and performed. The powerful production fits the music very well, to no surprise, since the album has been mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen.

Open Your Mind is the bands first commercial release and the 10 track album is a melodically furious fusion of massive metal riff s and catchy as hell vocal s that is all held together beautifully by a tight as a vice groove driven rhythm section that make all the plaudits this band have received for their live show all the more justified. The first single to be taken from the album One More Road From Home proceeds the album on Monday October 25th and is a hugely anthemic slice of metal tinged alternative rock will appeal to fans of bands such as Stone Sour, Shinedown and Alter Bridge.

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.
American Dream include 11 new tracks, the band are working with Bruce Witkin, Ryan Dorn and Carlos 'Apple G' Orellana in a co-production effort. Vocalist Ron Young recently checked in with BW&BK and offered the following update: "The new album will be up for sale in about three days on iTunes, two weeks from our website, and in about three to four weeks from distributors. The more people that start playing it and hearing it, the better!"
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!
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.
