A couple of months after introducing the new singer Paolo “INJO” Ingianni with a revamped version of “Hell Is Open“, a track taken from their debut album “Like A Snake” (Sneakout Records/Burning Minds Music Group, 2019), Italian hard rockers X-Plicit return with the new single “The Party Is Hot”. Guitarist Andrea Lanza says: “This song wants to channel our growing desire to have fun with friends and play rock ‘n’ roll on a stage, as we did in a lot of crazy nights before the pandemic and these tough times we’re all living, and also the video fully represents what the song is about: after all, life is a great party, it should as well be hot!”. The single, available via Sneakout Records/Burning Minds Music Group on all digital platforms, was produced by Carlo Meroni at ADSR Decibel Studio in Busto Arsizio (Varese, Italy); the video was shot by Vik & Piz.

Sneakout Records & Burning Minds Music Group are glad to announce the signing of Italian hair metallers, Reckless, for the release of their new album "T.M.T.T.80". Reckless were born in Vicenza in 2005 with the aim of tributing the most famous glam/sleaze acts of the 80's, playing covers of Cinderella, Mötley Crüe, W.A.S.P., Britny Fox and Poison. Thanks to a great stage presence, the help of two female dancers and some spectacular scenic effects, the band immediately gains popularity in the local circuit. A.T. Rooster, engaged in the double role of singer and bassist, is part of this first incarnation of the band. At this time, Reckless record a demo with some covers, and continue the live activity by sharing the stage with artists such as Steeve Jaimz (Tigertailz), Vains Of Jenna, BlackRain, L.A. Guns, Sister and FrenchKiss. In 2010 guitarist Dany Rockett and drummer Mikki Mixx officially join the group. The first self-titled album, featuring 7 original songs, sees the light of the day in the same year. Despite several line-up changes, in May 2015 the new work "Too Glam To Die" is released, giving the band the opportunity to receive positive feedback from specialized press and fans. In 2017 guitarist Alex Jawbone and bassist Jack Chevy are officially on board: this move allows A.T. Rooster to focus exclusively on the vocals. After several years spent playing on different stages and composing new songs, in 2021 Reckless has a stable and well-established line-up, a brand new record and a contract signed with Sneakout Records/Burning Minds Music Group. More info about "T.M.T.T.80" official release date, final tracklist and cover artwork will be revealed in the forthcoming weeks.

“God Is A Witness”, self-released debut album of the Italian hard ’n’ heavy band Anims, led by former Danger Zone and Crying Steel guitarist Francesco Di Nicola, is scheduled for a digital release on all major streaming & download platforms on August 6, 2021. The first official single, "Freedom", is out today! The album “God Is A Witness” came to life in an old-school way, with various face-to- face encounters in a music rehearsal room in Bologna, Italy. The project started with the clear and precise intention of creating and recording an album containing ten tracks; ten songs that were clearly united by the same "hard ‘n’ heavy" influence, yet each with their own specific character. The ten songs originated from the guitar riffs composed by Francesco Di Nicola (Danger Zone, Crying Steel), put together with the collaboration of bassist Elio Caia, drummer Diego Emiliani and singer Luca Bonzagni (Crying Steel), who proceeded to elaborate nine of the ten vocal melodic lines. After the composing and arranging of the songs, as well as the recording of the ten arrangements, the singer, unable to continue the work for personal reasons, abandoned the project, inevitably leaving room for new evaluations, including that of the use of a voice that could offer a totally different and therefore absolutely unexpected twist to the band's sound. It was therefore decided that a classic hard/heavy metal voice was not what the band envisioned, so various specialized and experienced male voices were auditioned. The group therefore decided to wait for the right opportunity, without necessarily rushing into the completion of the album. Meanwhile, the tracks were recorded by Roberto Priori at “Pristudio” in Bologna. During a work break to check the backing tracks and to listen to some tracks recorded in said studio, the opportunity arose to entrust the task of completing the album to Elle Noir, a singer who, by virtue of her own experience and singing versatility, subsequently accepted the challenge of steering towards a decidedly “hard” horizon as she had never done before. The ten lyrics were written by Francesco Di Nicola, who, speaking from his own experiences, dreams, desires and fears, tried as much as possible to follow the previously composed melodies, composing the missing one (“The Dancers”) and, with the collaboration of Elle Noir, completing, perfecting and adapting the singing parts to suit the new voice. The overall result, fruit of the combined effort and common taste of the four musicians, yet inevitably characterized by the freshness, power and femininity of Elle Noir's voice, subsequently inspired the name of the band. Tracklist: 1. God Is A Witness 2. Freedom 3. Around Me 4. Live For Somebody 5. Boring Lovers 6. Bright Eyes 7. Look Who’s Back 8. The Dancers 9. He Says 10. Like Colours Of Flowers Line-up: Elle Noir - vocals Elio Caia - bass guitar Francesco Di Nicola - guitars Diego Emiliani - drums Web/Social Links: https://www.facebook.com/animsband https://www.burningmindsgroup.com/atomic-stuff https://www.instagram.com/atomic_stuff_promotion

New single "Anymore" out today on all major digital download/streaming platfroms!

Sneakout Records & Burning Minds Music Group are glad to announce the signing of Italian hard rock band 5ive Years Gone, for the release of its debut “Rock ‘n’ Roll Rebirth”. The album, self-released digitally in 2020, has been completely remixed and remastered. 5ive Years Gone was born in early 2017 from the ashes of another project whose recording process was already in the making. With the aim to save their work so far, guitarist Davide Falconetti and singer Paolo Cernic started searching for musicians to form a new band. After recruiting bassist Andrea Cok, the band was still looking for the right drummer to join the group. Meanwhile, at the end of 2019, guitarist/pianist Andrea Imbergamo was hired. Finally, in June 2020 the man behind the drums was found when Michael Bonanno completed the line-up. Saving the latest songs written with their previous project, Davide, Paolo and the new members recorded the first full-length “Rock ‘n’ Roll Rebirth” and then looked for the best record label to publish it. Their search was over during the spring of 2021, when they signed with Sneakout Records. More info about official release date, final tracklist and cover artwork will be revealed in the forthcoming weeks.

Sneakout Records & Burning Minds Music Group are glad to announce the details of "Love & Glory", the new studio album of John Dallas. John Dallas is an italian hard rock singer, guitar player and composer. After his experiences with bands After Life and Red Burn, in 2015 John launches his solo career: the first studio album "Wild Life", recorded with a few trusted musicians, is published via Street Symphonies Records and gets positive feedbacks both by specialized media and fans. Thanks to kick-ass songs like "Wild Life" and "Dreamin’ On", this first solo work helps John make his own way from bars, caves and small clubs to bigger, high-profile stages in Italy and Europe. John Dallas's simple and effective songwriting style results in a stunning, catchy hard rock sound, a real rock-bomb-in-your-face, strongly influenced by 80's and 90's greatest classics, revamped with a modern touch. After several gigs to support "Wild Life", in 2020 John re-enters the studio with all his touring musicians and friends to record his new album, "Love & Glory", that features 11 brand new solid hard rock tracks. The album line-up includes rock-fanatic guitarist Tom Angeles, totally devoted to 80's style and virtuosity, bassist Black Sam Carbo and drummer Andy (Speed Stroke), who's also in charge of producing and arranging the whole album. "Love & Glory" is filled with explosive joy and positive energy: from the opening track "Anymore" to "Love Never Dies", from the smash hit "Drive Me Tonight" to the power ballads "Glory" and "Shine On", its sound is stronger than the debut album. Its choruses will get stuck in your head, together with the amazing guitar solos, confirming John Dallas as a talented melodic and powerful artist with a unique stage presence. "Love & Glory" is set for release on September 24, 2021 via Sneakout Records / Burning Minds Music Group, and distributed worldwide by Plastic Head. The second single and video, "Anymore", is expected soon. Tracklist: 1. Anymore 2. Bad Sister 3. Drive Me Tonight 4. Glory 5. John Dallas 6. Love Never Dies 7. Dancing All Night 8. I’ll Be Waiting 9.

Second single "1935" available on YouTube!

Art Of Melody Music & Burning Minds Music Group are excited to announce all the details of "Of Poetry And Silent Mastery", new official studio album by Italian rock sensation, Platens. The project is the brainchild of talented vocalist, producer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Dario Grillo, who decided to continue the legacy started with the first two albums "Between Two Horizons" (Frontiers Records, 2004) and "Out Of The World" (Melodic Rock Records, 2014), both enthusiastically received by fans and critics alike. Now, after seven years from the release of the second studio album, Platens, is finally back with its strongest effort so far: "Of Poetry And Silent Mastery". The result is a masterful blending of melodic rock sound, AOR oriented melodies and clever heavy influences, all wisely mixed together by Dario's bombastic production work. Dario says: "'Of Poetry And Silent Mastery' shows my idea of what art should represent. We live in frenetic and schizophrenic times where everything is measured on the basis of individual performance. Music seems to have become a competitive discipline, a sort of ring in which to measure one’s artistic skills at the expense of those of others. Everything is competition, demonstration of oneself, starting from the "Talent Shows", where thousands of bands that try to emerge, sponsored by the labels as the new sensations of the moment. The personal ego has repressed and eclipsed the true meaning of music, with the direct consequence of a qualitative crushing downwards. So mediocrity becomes the benchmark of the masses, who no longer know how to distinguish gold from shit. The new album is the natural evolution of 'Out Of The World', both in terms of lyrics and sound. The structures of the songs, however, are simpler and more immediate. The production emphasizes the guitar aspect much more than the orchestral and symphonic one. So it's a more direct and heavy metal oriented album than its predecessor". "Of Poetry And Silent Mastery" is scheduled for release on July 23, 2021 via Art Of Melody Music / Burning Minds Music Group. A special personalized edition has been created by Outward Styles in a very limited quantity of 30 copies, and will be available exclusively on the Burning Minds Music Group's official online shop. CD graphics have been designed by Aeglos Art (Wheels Of Fire, Airbound, Raintimes, Alchemy, Room Experience), while the CD booklet features introductory liner notes written by Pippo "Sbranf" Marino (Metal.it). A dedicated Japanese release with two additional bonus tracks will be out instead on July 21, 2021 via Marquee/Avalon. Tracklist: 01. Conspiracy 02. Wait For Me 03. Easily 04. The Path 05. End Of The World 06. Paralyzed 07. Winter 08. Open Arms 09. Give Or Let Go 10. Where The River Flows 11. Close But Far 12. Fragile (Bonus Track) Line-up: Dario Grillo: Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Keyboards & Orchestra Scores Alex Grillo: Drums & Percussion Special guests: Katya Miceli: Vocals on "Winter" & "Close But Far" Gabriels: Synth Solos on "Conspiracy", "End Of The World" & "Inferno" Mirko Turchetta: Guitar Solo on "Open Arms" Dan Logoluso: Guitar Solo on "End Of The World" Orazio Fontes: Guitar Solo on "Close But Far" Davide Perruzza: Guitar Solo on "Paralyzed" Web/Social Links: www.facebook.com/platensmusic www.facebook.com/artofmelodymusic www.burningmindsgroup.com/art-of-melody-music www.instagram.com/burning_minds_music_group
