The track comes off the band's new album, "Unbreakable", which is scheduled for a January 20, 2012 release via Frontiers Records.

Regarding the musical direction of the new PRIMAL FEAR album, vocalistRalf Scheepers told Greece's Rock Overdose, "You can really expect an album which is somehow skipping back again to the very basics of PRIMAL FEAR, with very rough metal riffs and screaming vocals and good melodies on it. So people can really expect a pure PRIMAL FEAR album with melody and beating drums and very harsh guitars."
He added, "Of course, every musician will somehow advertise his own album, but I'm really convinced that people will like this one, because it's got very catchy hooklines and it's a really 'bang-your-head' metal album.
"When you look back on the [PRIMAL FEAR] back catalog, from the very first album to this album now, I think there were quite some changes — on'Seven Seals', for instance, and also when we came [out with] 'New Religion'. We somehow now have a combination in between a good, bombastic sound with more back-to-the-basics guitar riffing stuff. Also we have two ballads on it, which are not [really] ballads. There's one mid-tempo song with some acoustic guitars in it and one song which has a little bit more keyboards. It's still not an acoustic-guitar ballad— it's still with drums and stuff — so I think it's a pretty tough album [overall]."
Když v roce 2005 vydali libere?tí Act Of God své album "...?asem zapomenutí", bezmála mi vyrazili pojistky. Hudebními nápady, jejich zpracováním, neot?elostí, barevností i povedeným zvukem. Pak však, jakoby snad cht?li dostát názvu svojí desky, razantn? ustoupili do pozadí. Po personálních rošádách a snad kone?n? už i konsolidaci sestavy p?ichází Act Of God aktuáln? se svojí albovou novinkou "Vzpomínky v zrcadlech". Šest let je hodn? dlouhá doba..., takže logicky by se kupa v?cí zm?nit mohla. Ta základní pozitiva, nazna?ená o pár ?ádk? výš, však našt?stí z?stala prakticky beze zbytku zachována.
K d?ležitým zm?nám - autorská pravomoc byla ?áste?n? omezena, výhradním tv?rcem na "Vzpomínkách" je Martin Hrachovec. Z pohledu potenciální jednotvárnosti však jde o zm?nu pouze kosmetickou, dokonce bych ?ekl, že ve snaze o maximální rozmanitost (nijak násilnou) se Act Of God lehce dostali až za mantinely soudržnosti nahrávky. Zm?na u mikrofonu, kde Annu Burianovou nahradila Stá?a Novotná je už hmatateln?jší. V celkovém sou?tu je po provedení všech matematických operací s plusy a mínusy výsledek nerozhodný - v ?istých, k?ehkých i dynamicky zp?vných polohách (a ve vzájemných dialozích s ?istým mužským vokálem pak tuplem) je Stá?a ješt? o ždibec p?itažliv?jší, než mému uchu siln? lahodící Anna, bohužel v momentech, kdy nasadí hodn? nep?irozenou masku drs?a?ky (viz. nap?. titulní" Vzpomínky v zrcadlech" ?i "Snazší je nevid?t") body ztrácí. Praktická ukázka toho, jak hudební nápady dokážou nakopnout výkon jednotlivce pak p?ináší nap?. „Sv?j život zvládnout sám“. Pomalá pasáž je celkov? nezáživn? hluchá a v momentech, kdy se v refrénu zvedne melodická vlna, je najednou Stá?a maximáln? p?esv?d?ivá. Nová rytmika jen potvrzuje to, co Act Of God nazna?ili v dávném rozhovoru - kluci umí hrát. A hodn? d?ležitá zm?na–nezm?na, snad ta vyšší moc v názvu kapely zap?sobila, že na kytarových postech se znovu sešlo duo navrátilc? Martin Hrachovec a Tomáš Rá?ek, kterým to spolu skv?le ladí.
Co se osv?d?ených jistot týká, Act Of God nezklamali hlavn? z pohledu hitovosti (o zvukové ?istot? nemluv?). Díky stylové nevázanosti m?že snaha o ukazování na top momenty vyvolat hodn? polemik (na své si p?ijdou gotici, melodici, deatha?i...), osobn? se hlásím p?edevším k melodicky dramatickým dialog?m (tedy t?m, kde se Martin se Stá?ou vyhýbají klasické stylizaci do krásky a zví?ete) s výraznými refrény – výpravnou "Bez zvláštních slov a frází" a "Stíny nad ránem" s nesmírn? š?avnatým refrénovým výletem do výšek. Stejn? jako v kole minulém – ano, i to lze považovat za jistotu - mi do uší neleze Martinova záliba v temnot? – v chropotu i jednotvárnosti (pomi?me divoké kytarové sólo) zamrzlý „Sv?t pod ledem“, který tvo?í radikální protipól nadýchaných melodií. Ale práv? i díky t?mhle kontrast?m je podtržena osobitost Act Of God.
S pot?šením m?žu konstatovat, že proces klinické smrti, následné oživování, bo?ení i budování byl ukon?en tím nejlepším možným zp?sobem. Act Of God mají na kont? další výbornou desku. Mírný bodový pokles oproti minulému albu je zp?soben pouze tím, že stylová rozevlátost a pestrost na mne tentokrát p?sobí pon?kud nesourod? a p?íliš rozháran? (nepopírám, že si v tom jiní m?žou nalézt nejv?tší kouzlo nahrávky). I p?es to jsou "Vzpomínky v zrcadlech" nadpr?m?rn? výživnou položkou, která si místo v mém p?ehráva?i zabírá na sakra dlouhou dobu

BËEHLER — the Canadian band featuring the former EXCITERdrummer/vocalist Dan Beehler, AGGRESSOR bassist Brian Stephensonand guitarists Sean Brophy and Scott Walsh — has inked a deal with the German label High Roller Records. The group's debut album, "Messages To The Dead", will contain 12 songs and will be released on both LP and CD (the exact release date to be announced soon).
"Messages To The Dead" track listing:
01. Jet Black
02. March Of Death
03. Eternal Tormentor
04. Message To The Dead
05. Destitude Abuser
06. In Know One We Trust
07. Organized Mayhem
08. Destroy
09. Megalodon
10. Save Me From Myself
11. Kill The Witch
12. The End Of The World
BËEHLER has already started working on its next studio album, which will mark a return to the classic EXCITER sound of the "Unveiling The Wicked" and "Long Live The Loud" LPs.
Commented Dan: "I vowed never to play again after EXCITER. My brotherRichard was my mentor and fourth silent member of EXCITER, co-writing songs such as 'Under Attack' and 'Rain Of Terror'. He was the only reason I ever went anywhere in music. He did all the grunt work forEXCITER, critiqued every song and never missed a rehearsal. He begged me to do another album and play METAL again. I said no!
"When he passed away, Scott Walsh threw me in his studio, put the sticks back in my hands and said, 'Do it for your brother and call it 'BËEHLER.'
"Sean Brophy picked me up, gave me my confidence back. He worked like a dog, dedicated his life to BËEHLER. He kicked my ass, never gave up and without him there would be no BËEHLER. Together with Al Johnson[former BËEHLER/EXCITER bassist Allan Johnson] and Scott, they gave me an opportunity to play metal once more. I owe them and my family so much!
"This was Richard's dream, his spirit lives through these recordings. I even dug up his old lyrics once again and added them to 'Kill The Witch'.
"'Messages To The Dead' explains the communication existed and we truly believe he is at the helm of BËEHLER.
"Every song on this album was written about people who have touched my life, singing and recording it was an emotional roller coaster for me.
"For myself and the band, it goes much deeper than a collection of songs. The guys understand the journey that I'm on, driven by you know who!
"Richard, your spirit created this album..."
BËEHLER's sound is described in a press release as "a journey from speed to doom, heavily saluting their mentors like JUDAS PRIEST, IRON MAIDENand MOTÖRHEAD." "All we want to do is bring it back as a tribute to our metal heroes," the band said.
Sentiment is a newcomer band from the land of the 1000 lakes, Finland, playing a superb mixture of classic hard rock and in-your-face heavy metal tunes.
BIOGRAPHY:
Sentiment was formed in 1996, by Jami (drums) and Toni (guitar) Huovinen. At first the band started with a progressive angle, but soon changed their style into more straightforward melodic metal with a lot of hard rock influences.
The current line up was reached after countless member changes. Michael Henneken (ex-Silent Voices, vocals) joined forces with the Huovinen brothers (Jami - drums and Toni - guitars) in 2004 and it was then that they recorded the "Breaking the Chains"-promo disc.
They started to write new material and began searching for a new bass player and a keyboardist soon after. Kari Tornack (ex-Thunderstone, ex-Tunnelvision, ex-Mannerheim, keyboards) decided to join the band in the summer of 2007, after promising to handle live shows in 2005 for as long as Sentiment finds a permanent replacement for their previous keyboardist. Janne Laaksonen (Kilpi) took over the bass at the beginning of 2008.
Sentiment started the recordings of their first album, "From Here To Ever After", in December of 2005 after deciding to finance it themselves, due to the poor contracts offered by several record labels.
The band has opened shows to bands like Stratovarius, Kotipelto, Terasbetoni and Kilpi, and thanks to their connections to the Helsinki's metal scene, they managed to get Jens Johansson (Stratovarius, ex-Yngwie Malmsteen, ex-David Lee Roth, ex-Dio) to contribute a solo to the album and the bands close friend Tero "Mc Spain" Kostermaa to record and to co-produce it. Also Timo Kotipelto, Pasi Rantanen, Jarkko Ahola, Sami Virtanen, Anssi Stenberg, Pasi Nykanen and Thomas Nystrand have contributed to build Sentiment's first album.
"From Here To Ever After" is not just a great album in the classic sense, but also a statement of a new major-player on the heavy metal / hard rock scene. From the in-your-face metal tunes like opener "The Dark Side" and "From Here To Ever After", over the neo-classical power metal songs such as "The Black Star", to the classic hard rock songs like "The Last Day" and the power-ballad "Mourning Light".

Los Power Metal argentinos Renacer,
lanzaron el pasado 01 de Octubre de 2011 ‘Bienvenidos al show’ DVD/CD doble en vivo, con el que celebran el 10º aniversario de la banda,
en los cuales han grabado 4 álbumes de estudio, realizaron una importante gira por México en 2007
y tuvieron la fortuna de abrir los shows de grandes bandas en su país, destacando el HELLISH TOURHELLOWEEN /GAMMA RAY en 2008
Renacer es una banda Argentina de Power/Heavy Metal melódico formada en 2001, por el vocalista Christian Bertoncelli, quien abandono Imperio debido a diferencias musicales. El cantante quería menos teclados y más poder en su música, como en los inicios de la banda. Esto se ve reflejado en los discos de Renacer.
Bertoncelli y el guitarrista Gustavo Gorosito fueron los ex-integrantes de Imperio que formaron originalmente Renacer, pero Gorosito dejó el proyecto en seguida y Juan Pablo Kilberg tomó el puesto. Jorge Perini, que anteriormente había estado en Imperio y en Jeriko, se hizo cargo de la batería.
En 2003 Kilberg y Perini dejaron la agrupación y conformaron Magika.

With the release of their self-titled album Edinburgh band Symphony Of Gunfire have concreted what many have been saying around the UK for a while, that there is a new force in rock emerging. A reputation for energetic and passion drenched live shows goes before them and with their debut album the quartet show they can carry it into their recordings just as well. Their sound, an instinctive blend of hard rock, melodic shred metal with a splash of thrash here and there, is a driving and creative beast that their name represents perfectly. It majestically caresses and swoops around the ear whilst hitting hard with shotgun effect.

he compositional and interpretive indisputable quality of Avalanch has managed to break barriers, moving the field of music and evocative apocalyptic universe created by international illustrators Romulo RoyoandLuis Royo.
Malefic Time: Apocalypse hits from the first moment for its spectacular cover that features a superb album with a deluxe edition and special dimensions that go beyond traditional media to the public while listening to songs, see the illustrations performed exclusively byRomulo Royo and Luis Royo for the album, published by Holy Grail Records.
Thirteen songs that build Malefic Time: Apocalypse tour the exciting story of a flexible and powerful way through intense melodies that perfectly reflect the atmosphere created. In The Name of God, La Augur, New York Stoner, Voices from Hell, are some of the songs that decrypts Avalanch soundscapes that surround the plot. The work is fascinating for its great quality music transporting the listener to a world so hostile as suggestive, where the hope of humanity hanging by a thread.
Avalanch achieved the impossible by creating an album that seamlessly blends the strength of rock and metal with the appeal of a killer soundtrack.
For years, the paths of avalanch and art are intertwined Luis Royo, as the recognized international illustrator has been commissioned to give life to several covers of their albums, but this time they decided to go much further explains Alberto Rionda: 'The When I first spoke with Luis found that shared a similarly to give life to our work, somehow knew that if one day we carried out a project like this, the artistic connection would be perfect. We have left the soul and the skin in each of the songs, all wrapped in a really special atmosphere. It"s been a great pleasure to present the Apocalypse with our music and describe the universe of these two great artists. '
The illustrations themselves are the first to roll over in his praise. Luis Royo warns that 'the hair bristling with you every note of Malefic Time: Apocalypse to penetrate you. The owls flapping guitar chords that seem to injury, the whispers of hell ... Avalon has known all that amazingly reflect the Apocalypse. '
For its part also praised Romulo Royo emphasizing the result: 'The music created Avalanch not leave anyone indifferent, enriched and wraps around the universe with its highlights and shadows, is a high'.
Avalanch reaches heights of excellence offering the public thirteen songs of immense value as compositional points Sediles Antonio, who has directed the musical project 'Avalanch has an undeniable talent, a voracious creative restlessness has demonstrated sound knowledge scenarios describe a incredible eclecticism . Available to very few. '
Avalanch music echoes invade the project in all its aspects and therefore will also be present in the new picture book and Romulo Royo Luis Royo, as five of the thirteen songs that Avalanch has created will be included in a DVD that will accompany the book illustrated. Both releases hit the market, in unison, on 5 December.
The first single, publicly available soon, will be the title track to the album and which will be a music video directed by Miguel Mesas, where we can discover how the characters come to life Malefic Time: Apocalypse.
Thus, in an artistic cooperation unprecedented in the world of illustration and music, this international project will begin shortly to visit countries like USA, France, Italy and Germany.
