New single ''The Mantis''!

Sneakout Records & Burning Minds Music Group are glad to announce the release of "Crushing Your Life", first single taken from "Desert", the debut album of the Italian hard & heavy project Krell. “Deserts” is the result of an intense musical collaboration between the long-established singer and cofounder of Crying Steel, Luca Bonzagni, and Francesco Di Nicola (Danger Zone, Crying Steel, Anims). They have never played in Crying Steel simultaneously: their compositions, created and developed between 2013 and 2018, have given rise to the artistic partnership that then materialized into "God Is A Witness", the debut album of the Anims project (released on April 29, 2022 by Sneakout Records). Now, with the project Krell, they both express themselves in their entirety. For drums, Francesco Di Nicola, producer of the album, has made use of the unquestionable artistic qualities of Paolo Caridi, a musician with countless recording experiences (Reb Beach, Geoff Tate, Michele Luppi) including his current involvement in the American duo Ellefson-Soto. Krell is the name of the group, but it symbolically represents a precise objective: it's a way for the artists to communicate in the most up-to-date way, the pure manifestation of classic hard & heavy music that they have both lived and experienced over the years. The lyrics, composed by Luca Bonzagni, transmit emotions, describe sensations, situations and express feelings: elements that have inevitably influenced the singing itself and inspired the title of the album. The ten tracks were recorded at Pristudio in Bologna, Italy, and have therefore benefited from the long experience of Roberto Priori, who as a sound engineer, as well as an expert musical artist of the rock genre in its broadest sense, has skillfully immortalised the instruments in order to convey the precise intent of each song to the listener. “Deserts” is set for release on November 25, 2022 via Sneakout Records / Burning Minds Music Group, with worldwide distribution via Plastic Head. Tracklist: 1. Desert 2. Crushing Your Life 3. Learn Or Burn 4. In The Cold 5. Pride 6. Secrets And Lies 7. Love’s A Flame 8. The River 9. Why I’m Here 10. The Mantis Line-up: Luca Bonzagni - Vocals Paolo Caridi - Drums Francesco Di Nicola - Guitar, Bass Web/Social Links: www.facebook.com/krellproject http://www.burningmindsgroup.com/atomic-stuff https://www.instagram.com/atomic_stuff_promotion www.facebook.com/sneakoutrecords www.burningmindsgroup.com/sneakout www.instagram.com/burning_minds_music_group

Art Of Melody Music & Burning Minds Music Group are excited to announce all the details of StreetLore, a brand new melodic rock project (with great special guests) hailing from Italy. After spending years playing in some local bands in the north of Italy, keyboardist Lorenzo "Lorerock" Nava approached his long-time friend, Burning Minds Music Group's A&R and producer Pierpaolo "Zorro" Monti (Raintimes, Shining Line, Room Experience, I.F.O.R., Charming Grace), with the proposal of some unreleased material he’d written through the years. Excited by what he heard, Zorro offered his support in making an all-new melodic rock album. Art Of Melody Music’s Alessandro Broggi (Airbound) signed on as co-producer, while directing Lorenzo on keyboards. With the COVID-19 pandemic affecting the entire world, works on StreetLore were delayed until late 2021. The talented guitar-player, keyboardist and songwriter Andrew Trabelsi (Alchemy) stepped in to replace Alessandro Broggi, who was unable to proceed due to personal reasons. To ensure the album would stand among the finest AOR and melodic rock releases, a solid line-up of established musicians, and at least one legendary singer needed to be assembled. Matteo Serra (Room Experience, Charming Grace, Sovversivo), Angelo Sasso (Airbound) and Luca Ferraresi (ex-Perfect View) were hired on guitar, bass and drums respectively. Additionally, co-producer, Andrew Trabelsi handled the guitars parts for several tracks. Numerous great vocalists were discussed, alongside some of the most revered Italian frontmen. The definitive line-up includes the likes of Terry Brock (Strangeways, Slamer, The Sign), Jesús Espín (91 Suite, Secret), Sue Willetts (Dante Fox), Dion Bayman, Davide "Dave Rox" Barbieri (Wheels Of Fire, Charming Grace, Raintimes, Room Experience), Eric Concas (Soul Seller), Stefano Lionetti (Lionville), Mario Percudani & Josh Zighetti (Hungryheart), Davide Gilardino (Mindfeels, Michael Kratz), Satin, & Marcello Spera (Alchemy). StreetLore will be an exciting experience for fans of classic AOR/melodic rock music, thanks also to some welcome songwriting contributions from Andrew Trabelsi, Dion Bayman, Alessandro Broggi & British novelist Peter Darley on the lyrics side. High quality musicians, Tim Manford (Dante Fox), Luca Carlomagno & Roberto Barazzotto (Mindfeels) have also been hired as special guests to provide the best possible instrumentals, while renowned sound engineer Roberto Priori (Danger Zone, Raintimes, Michele Luppi, Wheels Of Fire) handled the critical sessions of mixing and mastering. The same-titled debut album is set for release on November 25, 2022 via Art Of Melody Music / Burning Minds Music Group. A special personalized edition has been created by Outward Styles limited to 30 copies. They are available exclusively on the Burning Minds Music Group's official online store. CD graphics have been created by Aeglos Art (Wheels Of Fire, Room Experience, Platens, Michael Kratz), while the CD booklet features introductory liner notes written by Bruce Mee (Fireworks Magazine, The Firefest). The official bonus track "Gone" appears exclusively in the CD version of the album. Tracklist: 01. Brothers 02. Friends In Time 03. Crossroad 04. The Storm 05. Aeglos 06. Only Wounds Remain 07.

Nordic Hard Rock For Peace's first single, "Hellbound Train" (Art Of Melody Music/Burning Minds Music Group), is available for streaming and download on all digital platforms.http://www.burningmindsgroup.com/art-of-melody-music/buy/162 The Nordic Hard Rock For Peace initiative was instigated by Peter Hermansson and Martin Jepsen Andersen, during writing sessions for the follow-up to Hermansson’s acclaimed solo album, "Second Glance", which was co-produced by Andersen himself. Exactly in the middle of the songwriting process, the two Scandinavian musicians (Hermansson from Sweden, Andersen from Denmark) happened upon the foundations of what was to become the song "Hellbound Train". While the duo was working on the song, Russia began its aggressive invasion of Ukraine, and, impressed with the song's potential, Hermansson came up with the idea of turning it into an all-star, ensemble-cast song commenting on the present, horrible situation in Ukraine.Later, with the gracious help and participation from friends and colleagues in mainly the Swedish hard rock scene, "Hellbound Train" has seen the light of day. All proceeds from the release will be donated to the Red Cross and their relief efforts for the people of Ukraine.LINE-UP:Peter Hermansson (220 Volt, John Norum, Talisman): VocalsGöran Edman (John Norum, Yngwie Malmsteen, Headless): VocalsMatti Alfonzetti (Skintrade, Jagged Edge, Alfonzetti): VocalsPontus Snibb (Bonafide): VocalsAnnie Kratz-Gutå (Annie For President, E-type, Dr. Alban): VocalsGöran Nyström (220 Volt): VocalsMartin Jepsen Andersen (Blindstone, Meridian, Chalice Of Sin, George Clinton & The P-Funk Allstars, Walter Trout): Lead & Rhythm GuitarsMicke Hujanen (Alfonzetti): Lead GuitarMarco Angioni (Meridian, Streetfighter): Lead GuitarJanne Stark (Overdrive, Merryweather/Stark): Lead GuitarMats Karlsson (220 Volt): Lead GuitarChristopher Ståhl (Talisman): Lead GuitarJohan Niemann (Evergrey): BassHasse Sjölander (Skintrade): DrumsWEB/SOCIAL LINKS:https://www.facebook.com/NordicHardrockForPeacehttps://www.facebook.com/artofmelodymusichttp://www.burningmindsgroup.com/art-of-melody-musichttps://www.instagram.com/burning_minds_music_group

Further details just like official release date, Japanese dedicated release, cover artwork, final tracklist and more will be announced in the forthcoming weeks.

New single and lyric video "Break The Chain" out today!

Finally, the first single "Countach" is out!

Sneakout Records & Burning Minds Music Group are glad to announce the details of "T.M.T.T.80", the new album by Italian hair metallers, Reckless. Listening to "T.M.T.T.80" (acronym of the opener "Take Me To the 80s") is like setting the Delorean time circuits to the date of October 26, 1985 and stepping back in time to the glorious 80's, the golden days of Hair Metal. The 12 songs featured in the album proudly show all the nuances and influences that, during the years, have forged the sound of Reckless. From British-oriented steel to the sweetness of American AOR, from the wildness of early W.A.S.P. to the very popular among nostalgics NewRetroWave, their style always maintains the incendiary imprint of their incredible live acts: music and vocals properly and deliberately faithful to the sound of the past, bombastic and fast-paced stage presence, shocking hairstyles and sought-after clothings give the impression that Reckless is a band that came off the cover of a 1987 Kerrang! issue. "T.M.T.T.80" is set for release on April 29, 2022 via Sneakout Records/Burning Minds Music Group. CD graphics have been developed by renowned artist SoloMacello. Tracklist: 01. Take Me To The 80’s 02. Countach 03. Workout 04. One Night Together 05. Chic & Destroy 06. Rock Hard (In My Party!) 07. We Are The Rock 08. Red Lips 09. Raise Your Fist 10. Tonight 11. Back In Time 12. Scandalo! Line-up: A.T. Rooster: Vocals, Keyboards Dany Rockett: Guitar Alex Jawbone: Guitar Jack Chevy: Bass Mikki Mixx: Drums

First single "No Saturday Nites” is out today on all major digital platforms. The band states: “This song is dedicated to all sleazy nostalgic rockers that feel like there ain’t no crazy parties with good music and right people anymore. Fun fact is that even though our guitar player Max wrote the song already some years ago, when he made us listen to it we all were so astonished that the lyrics were still perfectly relatable to these days. We all agreed this song had a long story to tell. Given this endless loop of rock clubs shutting down and fewer and fewer places for underground aggregation, the videoclip wants to bring to your memories all awkward moments of live music in small clubs, where a live band playing might find a wildlife ranch of suburban creatures sometimes not really interested in music but more on just being “there” because that’s the cool place to be”.

Art Of Melody Music & Burning Minds Music Group are glad to announce all the details of "The Golden Cage", the new official studio album by Italian melodic hard rockers Saints Trade. The album features 11 songs composed in the spring of 2020, during the Italian lockdown. The title is a reminder of those months when, due to the pandemic, people were forced indoor in a sort of 'prison', despite all the comforts and the safety in everyone's home. At the same time, "The Golden Cage" is also a play on words recalling the expression "The Golden Age", to highlight once again the gap between these years of big troubles and fears due to Covid-19 and the happier times in the past (also for music). So, with this title, the band wants to imply the hope for a general rebirth after the pandemic, especially for the rock scene. "The Golden Cage" is scheduled for release on March 25, 2022 via Art Of Melody Music/Burning Minds Music Group. The album was produced, mixed and mastered by Roberto Priori at Pri Studio and sees the participation of Paolo Caridi (Arthemis, Hollow Haze, Sweet Oblivion, Killing Touch) on the drums. CD graphics were designed by Aeglos Art (Wheels Of Fire, Raintimes, Platens, Alchemy, Firmo).
