Delbert Headlining Act

This Monday I received a package in the mail that I have been anxiously awaiting with bated breath for a couple of months. It contained the CDs from the new METALLIC BLUE RECORDS LABEL that was recently started by one of the members of our group, Josh Dowdle. I felt compelled to post to let all of you know about this great new label and the bands being offered now and in the future if you haven't already heard of it. I know I have discussed with many of my collector friends the need for these small labels to propel these obscure bands and CDs to us for our collections. If you are like me, I hate the new wave of downloading and love to hold the physical CD in my hands. Oh, I have to mention, the liner notes and entire packaging on these Metallic Blue Records CDs are first class as is the sound. Most of you know I am a stickler for high quality audio....LOL!! Please, check out the new label and support it if you can, and Josh, I think you've put together a great package starting out.....good luck and long life.......

I'm disappointed he never posted about the venture here or even reached out.

Oh well, I guess all the trade drama he was involved in soured him on HH.

That is surprising to me.   The only response I can make would be that maybe it is something that was overlooked.   I'm sure there's much involved in starting a project such as this.   Actually, I hadn't seen anything anywhere advertising the new label, only learned of it when discussing a trade with Josh back in May sometime.   I'd be great if he did reach out to you......

I don't even know what to say. Who are those bands? Where did they come from? Does the label go after the most obscure of obscure? I don't recognize any of the bands on their label.

That is the essence of my post....here is a label providing the obscure bands for us....and if you listen to the sound samples on the web page, they are great sounding as well.   I'm certain you have observed numerous bands appear on Escape, Frontier, Perris and other labels and thought "Who are these guys, where did they come from, I don't recognize any of them".........I'm a collector, I have 100's of bands in my collection that I am positive neither you or many others have ever heard of before and when you heard them, would love them.....

Seems most titles are already OUT OF STOCK.  Is that actually the case, or have they yet to be released and there are no pre-orders?  

Also, I'd really like some sound samples.

You are spot on.....those titles labelled OUT OF STOCK are ones that will be released in the near future.   The bands have been signed and the releases are being prepared for release.   I know on the titles I purchased in the first release batch, they were listed like this and then changed to "Pre Order" with a release date of August 21 declared......As with any new project, we just have to hold our breath and be patient.

Oh, there are many sound samples posted, you just have to navigate the site by clicking on the "bands" and then there are links to listen to their songs

Most of the bands have at least 3 or 4 different samples posted

Good luck to Josh and his new endeavor, in a time when releasing stuff on vinyl is the way to go! 

 

Great Steelhouse Lane reference in the name.

 

Judging by his  prices, hopefully he could do some SunCity ones!

Jacob....yes, I have been in touch with both Josh and Jake and the problem has been clearing up legal issues and also the remastering of some of the tracks inorder to get the best quality.   I talked to them about two weeks ago and it appears that the schedule has been delayed until around June 2020 to get everything in order to continue with the planned releases......

That website is painful. So convoluted. Why have multiple pages of nothing to get to a sound sample. And sorry to be a Debbie Downer but way spend the effort to release/re-issue a "hidden gem" that doesn't offer anything more than what would have been the releases original tunes?

All that said and Del you'd have to let us know but I hope the packaging and info's in the j-card are at least quality. For me a Stormspell release would be the baseline, anything less wouldn't be worth the bother.

      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

      DEEP PURPLE Announces New Album '=1' - BLABBERMOUTH.NET DEEP PURPLE, one of the greatest and most influential rock bands of all time, will release a new album, "=1", on July 19 via earMUSIC. 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.
