Es ist wahrscheinlich das beste und eindringlichste Album der Band aus Florida, deren oberstes Gesetz Leidenschaft und Hingabe ist. Ihre Motivation ist bis in jeden Winkel der elf Songs zu spüren, und selbst die sanften Momente auf The Sound Of Madness haben noch eine Wirkung wie ein Faust in der Magengrube. Aufgenommen mit Star-Producer Rob Cavallo bringt es die geballte Kraft des Ultimativen in die Bahn, die SHINEDOWN mit dem US-Platin-Debüt Leave A Whisper
(2003) und dem Nachfolger Us And Them (2005, Gold) eingeschlagen haben.
Jetzt zum 75. Jubiläum von Atlantic kommt das Album als exklusives Crystal Clear Vinyl.

Neu gemastert und endlich auf 2LP Vinyl veröffentlicht!
KRIS BARRAS BAND, eine der aufregendsten Durchstarter des modernen Hard Rock in den letzten Jahren, bringt mit ihrem neuen Album Halo Effect, das am 12. April 2024 erscheinen wird, eine völlig neue, arenaähnliche Härte ins Jahr 2024. Die KRIS BARRAS BAND, die seit kurzem bei dem legendären Independent-Label Earache Records unter Vertrag steht, macht sich die Melodien und stampfende Power zunutze, die Fans von Architects, Shinedown und Alter Bridge schätzen. Auf Halo Effect verstärken sie den härteren Sound ihres letzten Albums Death Valley Paradise und liefern knallharte Riffs, fesselnde Refrains, die sich in die Höhe schrauben, und zündende Gitarren-Soli. Die Songs wurden in den Vada Recording Studios in Worcestershire aufgenommen und von Kris Barras zusammen mit seinem langjährigen Kollegen Josiah J. Manning produziert. Das Album enthält außerdem Songs, an denen Zac Maloy und Blair Daly (Shinedown, Halestorm, Lynyrd Skynyrd) mitschrieben

Back to the roots! Mit "In Our Blood" liefern REDLIGHT KING wieder einmal genau das, wofür sie bekannt sind: ein Album voller Rockhymnen! Neben dem #3 Einstieg in die US Billboard Charts im Jahr 2011, mehr als 44 Millionen Streams auf ihre Top 10 Songs und Songverwertungen in Filmen wie "The Italian Job", "Iron Man 3" und "The Avengers", wurde ihre Musik bereits bei ESPN, NASCAR, NFL, CFL, NHL, NBA und MLB gefeatured. Dazu kommen support Shows für Linkin Park und Tourneen mit Bands wie Shinedown, Awolnation, Halestorm, Stick Puppies und vielen anderen. Jetzt melden sie zurück mit einem powergeladenen Album voller Motivationshits zurück. Darum ist die neue Platte mehr als nur ein Lebenszeichen - es ist die Fortsetzung des Spirits aus 2013 à la „Borne To Rise“!
In den letzten Jahren hat sich Griechenland als echte Fundgrube speziell für Metalbands entpuppt. Auch Cellar Stone kommen aus Griechenland ( Athen). Mit den beiden Bandgründern Aris Pirris (Vocals, Guitar/ Persona Non Grata) und George Maroulees (Guitar/ Diviner) haben sich 2018 zwei alte Hasen der Musikszene zusammengetan. Mit Akis Rooster (Bass/4Bitten, Band 13) und George Karlis (Drums) war das Line Up komplett. Tolle Hooks, famose Leads, Power und Gefühl, Cellar Stone liefern mächtig ab auf ihrem 2. Abum "Rise & Fall". Beeinflusst von den Rock & Metal Giganten wie Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, UFO, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Alice In Chains, sowie den Bands von heute wie Black Stone Cherry, Shinedown, Mastodon und Alter Bridge, setzen Cellar Stone ihr eigenes Statement. Passend dass der Frontmann von Black Stone Cherry, Chris Robertson, zu Gast auf dem Album ist, mit einem feurigen Gitarrensolo auf Track "War We Can Win".Die Covid-Pandemie und die Auswirkungen, die sie auf das Leben der Menschen, insbesondere auf die Musikindustrie, hatte, spiegeln sich auf dem gesamten Album wider. Wie unsicher unser Leben plötzlich wurde, auf globaler Ebene, ist das Hauptthema in der Musik und den Texten. Refrains, die haften bleiben, starke Melodien, ein Pandämonium aus Gitarrenharmonien und massives Gitarrenriffing, 11 brandneue Heavy Rock Tracks die Eindruck hinterlassen.
Kris Barras Band return armed with towering anthems on the heaviest
album to date; 'Death Valley Paradise', available on CD, transparent red
vinyl and digitally
Produced by Dan Weller (Enter Shikari, Bury Tomorrow, SiKth) and recorded at
VADA Studios in Alcester, they return heavier, darker, more introspective but
enormous at the same time. Barras decided to remove all shackles and began
collaborating with songwriters, such as the heavyweights; Jonny Andrews (Three
Days Grace, Fozzy), Bob Marlette (Alice Cooper, Airbourne, Rob Zombie), Blair
Daly (Halestorm, Black Stone Cherry) and Zac Maloy (Shinedown, Tyler Bryant).
Death Valley Paradise started life as a song before it was dissected and spread
across the album. Death Valley is a place of extremes, where living things are
said to not be able to survive.
For 18 months the world stood still and the realisation set in that there was no
control of ourselves anymore. For the ex-MMA/cage fighter, there was only one
way out, to re-focus, and started with no preconceived plan for the album.
But now, Death Valley Paradise is ready to be unleashed upon the masses, who
are yearning to rock out, fist pumping in the air.
Fuelled by an uncertain future and conflicting feelings towards the
connectivity and intensity of the modern world, Press to MECO’s eagerly
awaited new album ‘Transmute’ follows up from 2018’s critically acclaimed
‘Here’s to the Fatigue’.
Produced by Machine (Clutch, Lamb of God, King Crimson) in a 16th century
tower in the UK, ‘Transmute’ feels more defined, where the heavy moments
are brutal, the quiet aspects are beautiful, and the cinematic flourishes make
the whole thing feel epic.

Overcoming all manner of obstacles and finally raising £16,000 via their committed fanbase through Kickstarter, in November 2019 fast rising rockers Mason Hill recorded 11 songs at Riverside Studios in Glasgow, with Scott Taylor later travelling to New York to track his vocals at the legendary Electric Ladyland Studios. Titled in acknowledgement of struggles overcome, the result is Against The Wall, the most hard-hitting and engaging debut album to emerge from the British rock scene in 2020.
From its seductive, inviting opening notes, Against The Wall is an enthralling, spellbinding distillation of everything Mason Hill have learned in their 7 year history. It opens, in dramatic fashion, with the self-explanatory Reborn, climaxing with the lyric, “No more pain, I feel reborn”, a declaration of intent and purpose which sets the tone for what is to follow.
Another lyric encapsulating the defiant resolve of Against The Wall, is the opening line of the stirring, impassioned Hold On. “Wake up, wake up,” Scott Taylor sings. “Did you really think I'd disappear?” That same swagger runs through the album’s gritty title track, an anthemic modern rock masterclass to file alongside the likes of Shinedown and Alter Bridge. Their influence can also be detected in the beautifully bruised climactic epic Where I Belong, where Taylor sings, “I know who I am, and I know where I’ve been” before Bird launches into a stunning solo that recalls Guns N’ Roses legend Slash at his most lyrical.
