What about that new Europe, though, hey? ;} Yes, I am looking forward to the new Europe album, and being raped in the anus by seven men in a dark parking lot. Yeah. I knew you were a big Europe fan. Enjoy the parking lot experience...

A bit of a mixed bag. 3rd song: great 1st song: good 2nd song: bad

From Issa (FB/June 7): Happy Wednesday everyone...Sooooo, I've been working very quietly and hard on a new album.. sooo excited to see it finished with only 2 songs left to record.. Be ready for a treat and some amazing collaborations with a few amazing people. Updates to come

From Osukaru's FB: Due to a very high amount of questions on where to find physical copies of our EPs "GBG2LA" and "Rock It Up", which are both long gone, we have finally given in. So we've been in talks with our label to make a really cool one-time-only package for all of you die-hards out there who might be interested. We will release a strictly limited CD of ONLY 300 (!!) copies, all individually hand numbered and with all 3 of our official EP recordings; "GBG2LA", "Never Too Late" (which is soon about to be sold out as well) and "Rock It Up" squeezed into 1 disc together with an exclusive bonus track and brand new artwork. This release will be titled "Last Call: The EP Recordings" and just as the title suggests, this will be your very last chance to get your hands on a physical copy including these recordings before we close that door entirely. Also, this is actually 1 out of 2 very special OSUKARU releases coming out this year. Keep your eyes and ears open for more info on that as well as artwork and release date for "Last Call: The EP Recordings".

New single taken from their upcoming second album.

From FB: PAL is a Swedish musical colaboration between guitarist Roger Ljunggren and Peter Andersson and Peo Pettersson. Roger and Peter, long time friends, started writing and play music together way back. They first got to know each other in the early eighties. Growing up in Skara, a small town in the southwest of Sweden sharing a passion for music and specially song-writing the sweat out together in a small rehersal studio together with some other local musicans.. The collaboration between the three started as early as 1987 when a demo was recorded in Peos studio Vanäs for a band called Escape which at that moment was short of a singer and Peo helped out. Now more than thirty years later we are making music together again. The songs on the first album “Prime” is collaboration between the three where Roger wrote the music and recorded the guitars and solos and Peter arranged, produced and played the bass. Peo then added the vocals. Mauritz Petersson was hired to do the drums. You can surely hear the past in our music , but this time with a more modern approach and passion for the music we all grew up with. The first label that was invited to listen to the material was AOR Heaven in Germany. A record deal was signed with them shortly after. Release of the debut album “Prime” is scheduled in Europe January 2018.

From FB: Burn, the UK rock band, is back!! Away from the music scene for nearly 10 years since the release of the critically and commercially well received third album, Global Warning, another slab of British hard rock is on the way. We are proud to announce that Burn's fourth album, Ice Age, will be unleashed on the planet in November 2017. It will be available in CD format and on all digital platforms. We have taken 5 years to create this album, and it is something of which we are incredibly proud. We hope and believe that the thousands of people who enjoyed Global Warning will find plenty to enjoy in this new release. The album was produced by Barney Stackhouse and mixed by the Grammy award winning Tobias Lindell. We are also very proud to announce our new line-up. Although we have lost some great guys along the way, namely Jeff Ogden, Julian Nicholas (although he is still featured on one track on the new album) and Benji Reid, we are extremely lucky to have replaced them with a couple of outstanding new members. On lead vocals we welcome Steve Newman. Steve is well known in the rock community through his numerous solo albums and other projects. Steve was our first choice to lead the line up, as we view him as possessing one of the very best voices in rock. Burn is the first band that Steve has committed himself to for many years. We are honoured to have him on board and fronting the band. Our other new member is the ridiculously talented Chris Green who brings his incendiary lead guitar skills to the band. Chris is a current member of Tyketto and hard rock fans will remember him from Furyon, Rubicon Cross and Pride, along with various other projects. We really couldn't think of another guitarist on the planet, who could have done a better job on the new material, than Chris. So, here we go. This is a new era for Burn and we are really looking forward to sharing our new stuff with everyone. We can't wait to get it out there. Further updates will follow.

From Escape Music: Coldspell are based in the north of Sweden and were formed in 2005 by guitarist and songwriter Michael Larsson. Since their first release ColdSpell have been one of the bands you like to mention when talking high class Scandi hard rock. Coldspell blasted onto the scene in 2009 with their own brand of hard rock/metal. They first took the world by storm with their "Infinite Stargaze" release, an album that created a stir in rock circles and the album received stunning reviews all over the world and was on several album "top lists" for 2009 and album of the year at various magazine´s and radio stations. Two years later in 2011 a brand new release "Out from the Cold" was put out to an eager audience, once again mixed by Tommy Hansen in Denmark, Tommy of course having previously worked with Helloween, TNT, Pretty Maids, Jorn and Pagan's Mind. In 2013 Coldspell put out a new recording entitled "Frozen Paradise", once again with Tommy Hansen at the mixing desk. This was an unbelievable recording and the band have extended their expertise with razor sharp riffs, solid rhythms and great choruses. With three albums released so far the wait is over. Coldspell are ready to strike again with the brand new album titled “A New World Arise”. This is stunning recording that features 12 new songs of epic proportions and it’s going to put ColdSpell firmly on the map. This is Scandinavian melodic rock of the highest order and will be a strong contender for the hard rock album of 2017.
