  1. Killer!! From Outsider Rock: LA based metal band WINGS OF STEEL have released their first full-length album, following up last year’s 5-track EP. Gates Of Twilight is graced with cover artwork from Spencer Caliguiri, and features 10 new tracks. If you checked out the band’s debut EP, Gates Of Twilight is excellent listening for fans of ’80s influenced metal – heavy guitars, big solos, riffs, great vocals. But these guys aren’t exactly from that LA ‘hair metal’ class, more classic metal along the likes of Queensryche, MSG, Dio, Whitesnake… Gates Of Twilight opens with “Liar In Love”, an easy favorite as it kicks off with a killer riff, and rolls in to a heavy rocker reminiscent of early Queensryche, and dare I say the other band that comes to mind is Lizzy Borden here. Great production! There is plenty of different and strong tracks here, from the more power-metal of “Fall In Line”, “She Cries” – which starts as a ballad before kicking into 5th gear and running away as a fast pounding rocker, the blues beat of “Leather and Lace”, the power ballad “Slave Of Sorrows”, and the darker title track, and the classic “Lady Of The Lost” – the latter 2 both kinda in that Dio/Sabbath feel. A solid album of heavy metal, that will get better the more you dig in to it, as there’s lots going on here with fine songwriting, performances, and the production. Gates Of Twilight was written and recorded by Leo Unnermark (vocals, backing vocals) and Parker Halub (guitar & bass), with Mike Mayhem (drums).

  3. 'Ready When You Are' out February 24th on Lions Pride Music. From Lions Pride Music: The Crows: Unleashing Pure, Unadulterated Rock 'n' Roll! In the world of hard rock, few bands can boast a lineup with the caliber and diversity of experience found in The Crows. Formed from the collective talents of seasoned musicians who have shared stages with legendary artists such as Noisy Mama, Larry Mitchell (Tracy Chapman), Quiet Riot, Earl Slick (David Bowie), and Carl Canedy (The Rods), The Crows have taken the rock 'n' roll scene by storm. Fronted by the charismatic and powerhouse lead vocalist, Michael Santarsiero, known previously as Michael Devlin Blare, who once led the American hard rock band Totally Lost Cause from 1989 to 1996. Under his leadership, Totally Lost Cause released two influential albums, "Original Sin" and "Serious Trouble," before embarking on a musical journey that included collaborations with The Giants of Science, Cranky Bitch, and The Sandy Clams. In 2010, Michael became a founding member of The Idol Kings, and in 2015, he reunited with two of his former Totally Lost Cause bandmates to join forces with the renowned metal drummer and producer, Carl Canedy of The Rods. This collaboration birthed the progressive metal supergroup, Canedy, which unleashed their debut album, "Warrior," upon the world in 2020. The Crows' lead guitarist, Jimmy Gumina, brings a sonic experience like no other. A founding member of Noisy Mama and a virtuoso who has graced stages with White Noise, Ethr, and Hounds of Desire, Gumina's electrifying guitar work is deeply rooted in the influences of British rock legends Ritchie Blackmore and Jimmy Page. His signature style and tone have become a defining feature of The Crows' sound. Bassist Freddy Villano, whose rock pedigree includes stints with Quiet Riot, Widowmaker (featuring Dee Snider), and Earl Slick (David Bowie), has an impressive resume that extends from '90s pop to punk rock and classic rock supergroups. Currently, he holds the low end for '80s metal icons, The Rods. Drawing inspiration from bass legends like Geezer Butler, Steve Harris, and John Paul Jones, Villano's rumbling bass lines form the solid foundation of The Crows' music. The rhythmic backbone of the band is provided by the powerhouse drummer Vic Pullen. A New York City-based musician hailing from Little Rock, Arkansas, Pullen's extensive career includes collaborations with Larry Mitchell (Tracy Chapman), Francis Dunnery (Robert Plant), and various projects spanning different genres. His drumming influences range from Frank Zappa to John Coltrane, ELP to the B-52s, and Rush to Heart, with a deep appreciation for Led Zeppelin's percussive artistry. Vic Pullen's versatile drumming style is a driving force behind The Crows' electrifying sound. Together, The Crows have emerged as a hard rock powerhouse, epitomizing the spirit of unadulterated rock 'n' roll at its finest. Their Lions Pride Music debut release, "Ready When You Are," transports listeners to a bygone era when rock was melodic, ballsy, and unbound. The music is a sensual, groove-laden journey that pays homage to the rock legends of the late '70s and early '80s, while blazing a trail for a new generation of rock enthusiasts. With a lineup as impressive as their collective experience, The Crows are poised to seduce the hearts and minds of rock aficionados worldwide. Get ready to be captivated, because The Crows are here, and they are ready to rock your world. The Crows is: Michael Santarsiero: Lead Vocals Jimmy Gumina: Guitars, Keyboards, Theremin Freddy Villano: Bass Vic Pullen: Drums Lonnie Park, Michael Santarsiero & Freddy Villano: Backing Vocals Tracklist: 01) All Fall Down 02) I Should've Known 03) Scorcher 04) Forever 05) Evil At The Gate 06) Boom Bang Twang 07) One Last Look 08) Pretty Little Liar 09) Red Rover 10) Falling In Love Again

  7. More info: With remarkable records such as the self-titled Voodoo Circle or Locked & Loaded, Alex Beyrodt’s VOODOO CIRCLE quickly establish themselves as the epitome of quality in classic hard rock. This band has it all: lots of experience featuring members of PRIMAL FEAR, SINNER and PINK CREAM 69, outstanding songwriting skills and musicianship, passion and a sense for great hooks. It’s obvious that VOODOO CIRCLE have enhanced their classic rock repertoire on the highest level. A German band never before sounded that international, with that much “American Hard Rock“ in their blood. These melodic anthems, cultivated by the powerful voice of David Readman, the tasteful Hammond-sounds by Jimmy Kresic, Mat Sinner’s as usual precise bass foundation and Markus Kullmann’s drumming in best Bonham tradition, appear to come down right from the Olympus of hard rock. To shorten your wait for a new studio offering to follow in the hopefully not so distant future, on December 1, 2023, VOODOO CIRCLE present their Best Of “15 Years Of Voodoo” via AFM Records, featuring not only highlights of their discography ( Locked & Loaded, Raised on Rock, More Than One Way Home, Whisky Fingers, Voodoo Circle ), but also two previously unreleased tracks! One of them, “Sweet Devotion”, recorded in 2021 during the Locked & Loaded album-era. “15 Years Of Voodoo” track listing: 01. Locked & Loaded 02. Flesh & Bone 03. Wasting Time 04. Devil With An Angel Smile 05. Higher Love 06. Running Away From Love 07. Graveyard City 08. Heart Of Babylon 09. Cry For Love 10. Trapped In Paradise 11. Watch And Wait (I Got My Eye On You) 12. Devil’s Daughter 13. No Solution Blues 14. Broken Heart Syndrome 15. Man And Machine 16. Spewing Lies 17. Master Of Illusion 18. Sweet Devotion (Bonus) 19. Rock’n Roll Remedy (Bonus)

That's what VOODOO CIRCLE tell you on their previously unreleased single "Sweet Devotion".

With "Sweet Devotion" they present their first unreleased track in 3 years which will be featured on their Best Of album "15 Years of Voodoo". This is the first treat - the complete Best Of will be released digitally only on December 01st!
