To be honest, after the first two songs of 'Steel of Swabia' I thought I was going to come to the boards preaching album of the year... but sadly the next few tracks dropped off a bit.

 

I still think this band is going to appeal to a lot of hard rock fans here, so check 'em out:

The first two songs are monsters... the opener containing one of the riffs of the year.

Not bad at all. Was just getting into the 2nd track then it finished. Will check out some more.

Yeah, there's some good stuff on this one, no doubt. Only downside is they suffer from what every other hard rock band suffers from these days... they can't keep it up for a full disc. That said, this is a good listen.

This is the description off NEHrecords:

 

"KISSIN’ DYNAMITE is a German five piece taht plays catchy melodic metal with ACCEPT-like guitar riffs and massive hooklines straight out of the EDGUY-, BLOODBOUND-, STURM & DRANG- and HAMMERFALL – songbook. With no filler in sight and a great production on top, KISSIN’ DYNAMITE is playing great Heavy Rock on an international level. Initial pressing comes in a digipack. "

Yeah, I saw them compared to stuff like Shakra and stuff. Personally, I hear the dude trying his best to sound like Axl Rose, and there is a 'Pigs' vibe from Asphalt Ballet... imo.

From the songs on myspace I don't hear much GNR but I do hear a Melodic Euro Metal such as Edguy on the song 'Steel of Swabia'. Either way they sound pretty good to me.

It is a ballsier sound like something like Edguy (though not quite there) but wait till you hear the dude's vocals across the disc.

I was just mostly going on that one song and the others on the myspace since I haven't heard the disc.

Oh no, I think it's going to happen with this CD. The first two songs are great and the 4th song is solid too, but I actually ended up skipped the rest of them after the first or 2nd chorus already. It's not bad, but this should have been so much more based on some of those early tracks... :(

Just got this one yesterday. I don't hear GNR. I do hear Edguy blended with a bit of Crashdiet. Formulaic but fairly well executed, especially considering that all the members are younger than 20 (I believe).

 

The anthem "My Religion" is solid, and for some reason I like "Zombie".

 

I added the above 2 tracks to the HH radio feed.

 

Of course the track "I Hate Hip Hop" is just plain trvth.

      Motley Crue new song.....

      By TheOriginalSplash · Posted

      Motley Crue signed with the country label from Tennessee Big Machine Rec.. New song Dogs of War relased on Friday the 26th. Other than that don't ask me what there doing they did a little video of them signing contract and it doesn't include John 5 so he's not really part of Motley he's a hired gun..  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3iDklwv1PI&t=2s

      Not much information on the video's page, other than it appears to be an AI creation. Once it gets into the verse and especially the chorus, it's actually not too bad IMO.

      While I appreciate your interest in contributing to the site, most of the artists and albums you are submitting are either REALLLLLLY stretching the boundaries, or as in the case of this band, completely off the mark. No alternagrunge. No punk. No death metal/power metal (although those can be submitted to Brutal Metal). You can always start a thread asking about a particular artist before blindly submitting it for inclusion. Thanks! -Dan

The first single will be unveiled on April 30 at midnight, a taster for the full 13 tracks of pioneering and rip-roaring rock and roll. "=1" is the band's first album with sensational guitarist Simon McBride, who seamlessly slotted in when longtime member Steve Morse left due to personal circumstances. Since 2022, Simon has already played to DEEP PURPLE audiences totalling more than half a million people. ith three consecutive No. 1 albums in their back pocket and a resurgent new energy powering them forward, this is DEEP PURPLE at their pinnacle. "Now WHAT?!" (2013),"inFinite" (2017) and "Whoosh!" (2020) have sold over one million copies worldwide, making DEEP PURPLE one of the most successful rock bands currently active. The latest studio album, "Whoosh!", reached No. 1 on the album charts in seven countries and charted in the top 10 in another 12. "=1" track listing: 01. Show Me 02. A Bit On The Side 03. Sharp Shooter 04. Portable Door 05. Old-Fangled Thing 06. If I Were You 07. Pictures Of You 08. I'm Saying Nothin' 09. Lazy Sod 10. Now You're Talkin' 11. No Money To Burn 12. I'll Catch You 13. Bleeding Obvious In 2022 came the sad news of Steve Morse's departure due to personal circumstances, but DEEP PURPLE, never a band to let a set back throw them off course, sought out the masterful skills of guitarist Simon McBride and played the year out in style, exciting crowds with a new energy and excitement. Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Simon McBride continue with renewed vitality, pushing the boundaries of hard rock to audiences around the globe, proving that DEEP PURPLE are very much here to stay.
