  2. Cassidy Paris (Australian female fronted band)

    I really loved her album, but one of the things that stood out to me is her vocal style is rather unique and not going to be everyones cup of tea. Certainly talented, but I can see why some people would not be impressed. She just posted this cover and while I love the fact she is paying homage to the era we love, her voice just does not suit this song. The Saraya cover she did was brilliant, this one though just did not do it for me. Maybe some will like it, but as a fan of hers I gotta say I was hoping for better.

    Well this is a perfect example of why they continue to put out this mediocre shit. If you look at social media, people are falling over themselves to say how great this song is and how much they are looking forward to the album.

    I can only assume that either these are the sort of blinkered die hards who will accept any old shit from a band because the love them, or they are fairly new fans to the band who are into that sort of shit and don't really know the band for their older stuff. What also gets me is they way they act like you just tried to murder them if you say anything negative about the song or the band. While people like this continue to praise them to high heaven, they will keep putting out this shite.

    I would actually love to not buy it, but the collector in me would hate not having a complete disography. I will probably wait til it is mega cheap like I did with that bucket of cow shit that was their last album.

  12. Manic Eden album being re-released

    in AOR and Hard Rock

    Posted

    Comes out April 12th.

    Not sure of the point though seeing as it has no bonus tracks (not even the original Jap bonus), isn't remastered and you can still find the original release for pennies.

    But anyway, if anyone is interested

    https://www.mascotlabelgroup.com/products/manic-eden-cd?_pos=1&_sid=e66553289&_ss=r

    Also available on vinyl.

    30th Anniversary edition of the hard rock band's only album!

     

    Pre-order the CD from the Mascot Webstore

     

    Manic Eden were a short-lived hard rock band consisting of former members of Whitesnake and Little Caesar. Following David Coverdale's decision to place Whitesnake on indefinite hiatus in the early 1990s, Manic Eden was founded in 1993 and had 3 members of Whitesnake from the Slip of the Tongue-era: Adrian Vandenberg (guitar), Rudy Sarzo (bass) and Tommy Aldridge (drums). Little Caesar vocalist Ron Young was the final piece of the puzzle.

    In 1994 Manic Eden released their first and only album, with cover art by Adrian Vandenberg. Now, 30 years later, on April 12 2024, it will be re-released on Music Theories Recordings.

    Weird situation as I thought this "band" was essentially an Erik project and Jonah was just along for the ride as he is mates with Erik and still works with him on stuff like his covers.

    Maybe it's just a case that Erik is mostly tied up with Skid Row these days.

  17. Guess who has left Frontiers Records ... should please a few people

    Musician Alessandro Del Vecchio has announced:

    “AS OF TODAY, I PART WAYS WITH FRONTIERS MUSIC SRL.

    I know this might sound like a shock to some, but it’s been going on for a few months now and I’m ready and glad to move on.

    I'm grateful for all we’ve done together in these 13 years full of music and success. The new conditions and changes created a situation that I didn’t want to be part of anymore. Still, Edge Of Forever and Vanden Plas are signed to Frontiers, so no worry about that. I just won't be an in-house producer/songwriter and A&R for them anymore.

    With Frontiers I was able to produce, work, and chart with some incredible artists like Mr. Big, Journey, Blue Oyster Cult, Night Ranger, Jorn, and Hardline and build incredible projects like Revolution Saints, the new successful era of Sunstorm, Iconic, Cleanbreak, Resurrection Kings, The End Machine, Black Swan and many others. As an A&R for the label, I brought amazing artists like Marc Storace, Gotus, Demon, Lalu, Honeymoon Suite, among many others, and I was also able to pitch one of the biggest metal bands of all time, Manowar.

    My musical future is now all for Edge Of Forever, Hardline, Jorn, and Vanden Plas, and I cannot wait to tour with ProgJect in America in June and sing with some of the best musicians on the planet!

    I’ll keep producing bands, writing songs, and mixing records for artists, labels, and bands, cause that’s what I love to do.

    2024 will also bring my first solo album, which is absolutely different from what I’ve always done. It’s instrumental, it’s prog, there’s no guitars but the songs are filled with Hammond, Mellotron, and Minimoog. The drummer is probably the most iconic and recognizable drummer of all time, and I might be talking to a couple of guys for some guitar solos too:-) Let’s see!

    As you can see, there are lots of exciting things ahead and I cannot wait to see what the future will bring. I’ll see you all up the road for my next shows or in the studio to produce, write, or mix some new fantastic music!

    Wishing the best of luck to Frontiers for their future!”

  22. Metallica - St. (b)Anger (St. Anger re-recorded from the ground up!)

    I'll concede that it's still one of their worst efforts--if not THE worst--but the abysmal production made it nearly impossible to enjoy the handful of decent tunes on the album. But yeah, even with this re-recording, there are only 4 songs that I bothered with. Maybe it's not "badass," as you say ... but it's better, and the 4 songs that I like are now listenable. (For the record, one of those songs is "Purify," which you clearly don't care for.)

    Every band has a low point, but this "St. (b)Anger" project manages to salvage something from the wreckage. But I think we're all grateful that Metallica moved past this moment and gave us better albums.

     

    I think the only thing they ever recorded that was worse than St Wank is that awful collaboration with Lou Reed.

  23. The Warning - Keep me fed ... New album due 28th June.

    THE WARNING Announces New Album 'Keep Me Fed'

    March 8, 2024

     

    THE WARNING, the alternative sister-trio from Monterrey, Mexico consisting of Daniela "Dany" (guitar, lead vocals, piano),Paulina "Pau" (drums, vocals, piano) and Alejandra "Ale" Villarreal (bass, piano, backing vocals),will release its new full-length album, "Keep Me Fed", on June 28, 2024 via Lava/Republic Records. Physical products will be available at RepublicRecords.com, including CDs, vinyl, t-shirts, and fan packs.

    In talking about the story behind the decision to name the album "Keep Me Fed", Pau says: "Throughout the whole process, the work was consuming us. By impacting everything we did, the album kept us fed both creatively and personally. We're inviting other people to participate and consume it too."

     

    Bulldozing the way for the record's arrival, they just unveiled two singles, namely "Hell You Call A Dream" and the Spanish-language "Qué Más Quieres". Each song is also accompanied by its own lyric video.

    Illuminating the band's evolution, the tracks hint at the breadth of their stunning signature style. On "Hell You Call A Dream", co-written and produced by Anton Delost (HIGHLY SUSPECT, MAYDAY PARADE) and Dan Lancaster (MUSE, BRING ME THE HORIZON),an arresting keyboard melody wraps around the punchy bass line. A distorted guitar groove anchors a hard-hitting hook, "Give me something to believe, in this hell you call a dream." Dany notes, "'Hell You Call A Dream' tries to express a feeling most musicians find hard to express. When you're touring, you experience the positives, the negatives, and the whole spectrum of emotion all at once. It's about how something you love so much can be something that also weighs you down, but you continue to do it out of love. It's fulfilling, but it's tiring."

    The three-piece further flaunt their fiery versatility on "Qué Más Quieres". It tempers a robust riff with an electronic flurry, giving way to a chantable chorus with the power to resonate worldwide. "The title translates to 'What else do you want?'," Pau reveals. "It's about taunting and manipulating. We were thinking of the TikTok phrase 'Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss' and turned it into a song." Dany goes on, "It means a lot to sing in our language and represent our country. Over the years, doors have finally opened for Mexican women in rock, and we're actively participating in opening these doors where we can."

    "Keep Me Fed" also features "More", which the band performed at the 2023 MTV VMAs, and the recently released fan favorite "S!ck" that is climbing the Active Rock charts. Revolver raved, "Like the Mexican sister-trio's previous output, it's undeniably infectious," and Classic Rock hailed it as a "shot-in-the-arm of propulsive, fire-spitting hard rock." Rolling Stone pegged it as one of "All The Songs You Need To Know This Week."

    Next up, THE WARNING will perform at Mexico's prestigious Pa'l Norte and Vive Latino festivals followed by a month-long full-scale European tour this spring. It kicks off in Madrid at Sala La Riviera on April 4, canvases the continent, and concludes in London at O2 Forum Kentish Town on April 27.

    The tour marks the band's return to Europe after their own 2023 run of beyond-sold-out headline European dates in addition to their monumental run supporting MUSE and ROYAL BLOOD on their stadium tours. They also sold out shows across Mexico, South America including their largest show to date in Mexico City at the infamous Pepsi Center.

    THE WARNING draw strength and power from a lifetime of sisterhood and music. The Mexico-born sister trio have logged thousands of miles on the road, generated hundreds of millions of streams, and left countless fans in awe. All of this tireless work and dedication has shaped and sharpened their sound with knifepoint precision, arming alternative anthems with universally catchy hooks and an uncompromising hard rock kick. The girls have devoted themselves to a shared dream since their childhood in Monterrey, Mexico. They initially made waves with a string of independent releases, paving the way for their acclaimed 2022 full-length offering "Error". Between performing alongside MUSE, FOO FIGHTERS, GUNS N' ROSES, ROYAL BLOOD, THE PRETTY RECKLESS and THREE DAYS GRACE, the band ignited MTV's Extended Play Stage at the 2023 MTV VMAs. Representative of their cultural impact, Pepsi even notably chose them as the face of Pepsi Black in Mexico. Moreover, they emerged as the rare force who could comfortably appear in features by Vanity Fair, People, Cosmopolitan and Glamour as well as on METALLICA's star-studded "Blacklist" compilation.
