In 1980, at age 16, Bomb auditioned for Kiss.[1] He flew to Los Angeles and played three songs with them, but was not invited to join the band. Instead, he moved to Hollywood and shared an apartment with Jeffrey Isbelle, better known as Izzy Stradlin. Bomb quickly became friends with Tommy Thayer, a neighbor and guitarist for the rock band Black N' Blue (now guitarist in KISS), who suggested Adam should do his own project and call it Adam Bomb. Tommy Thayer's band "Movie Star" opened for TKO at The Showbox in 1981. In 1983, Adam recorded his first demos with producer Rick Keefer.[1] He also played two gigs with Steeler as a replacement for Yngwie Malmsteen. One year later, Adam recorded more songs with the aid of drummer Chuck Ruff of Montrose and bassist Cliff Williams of AC/DC and finalized his first album, Fatal Attraction.[1]

Now!WOW!
Ordinary Death Of Something Beautiful", a full-length album composed by 11 tracks, which should represent a sound evolution, with a lot of surprises regarding style and melody, and at the same time a confirmation of the solidity of DV's musical proposal!
I'm giving this a 4. to me, the only reason I can't score a 5 for this band's songs at the moment is that the screamo vocals are not up to the league of the clean. This band will no doubt score some airplay but it's mainly the clean vocals setting it aside from other bands. This guy's voice is really strong, and does really interesting harmonies. The music is very good. Great job, don't take what I said about the screamo too harshly.
On July 3, Cleopatra Records will release the fifth studio record from Pittsburgh, PA-based melodic metallers Icarus Witch. RISE is an epic twelve-track display of songwriting and musicianship from one of the most-watched heavy music bands of the decade.
From the driving, anthemic “(We Are) The New Revolution” to its equally commanding following track “Rise,” Icarus Witch demonstrates impeccable harmonies, head-spinning dual guitar work, and hammering rhythm. Lyrically, the band is digging deep into themes of control (loss of, and taking it back), empowerment (within and without), and faith (and keeping it).

From a glance at their picture, this band seems to be too young to have a sound with the feeling of late Seventies and early Eighties hard rock. But this small five song EP finds Future Shock channeling some entertaining classic rock.
Fortunately, Future Shock has the chops, the musicianship, to develop this sound in a fresh way, avoiding, would could be, the possibility of cliche or homage. Future Shock gets to root of hard rock: big riffs, strong sense of melody, nice hooks and, notably, a strong groove.

Hailing from that Black Metal hotbed of Norway come the decidedly non Black Metal band Fastlane Flower. Yes, as difficult as it may be to believe, Norway has given us other metal besides Black Metal. Take Fastlane Flower for example, they have just released their debut album called"Deadline" and musically the band treads familiar hard rock/metal territory, but in their own energetic presentation. The opening song "Agent of Chaos" has almost a prog-like feel to it, thanks to the keyboard part near the middle of the track. Next up is "State of Emergency" which could have some mainstream appeal if given the chance. Some male screaming vocals are provided here and accompanied by a chainsaw like guitar riff that gets the job done. "Monkey Business" is next and after slower tempo to start the song, the band picks up the speed and tempo as this song races to its completion. "Blue Moon" is one of the heavier tracks that showcase a nice chugging guitar riff, before changing tempos from fast to slow and back again. Other highlights include: "Secret Archive" and "Before I’m Gone", "Coping With the Loss of Beauty" and "At the Rainbow’s End". In the end, some stuff on "Deadline" works and others not so much. Still, Fastlane Flower has delivered a good effort for a debut album and one that should bode well for the future of this Norwegian outfit.
