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).
 
Tracklisting:
 
Liar In Love
Fall In Line
Garden of Eden
Cry of The Damned

      Motley Crue turns into Kiss ... Dr Feelgood reissued again for 35th anniversary

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      Ok, lets put this into perspective as to how overpriced this is. Queen (a much bigger band) has announced the reissue of their debut album. It comes in multiple formats to suit every pocket. The ultra special edition has six CDs and one LP. It has everything from remixes, remasters and live tracks to unreleased stuff. What are they asking for this? £150... thats £30 less than the shit Crue is putting out. Motley are my fave band, but I aint about to be arse fucked by them with crap like this. https://queenonlinestore.com/collections/queen-1?utm_source=Original&utm_campaign=Queen20240905&utm_medium=direct&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.queenonline.com%2F&utm_board=queen&utm_country=GB&utm_linkurl=Queen.lnk.to%2FQueenI&lf=68ca40ef890f7402b64fa76a96b2fc0d

      New Crazy Lixx song due very soon

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I have learned not to assume these kinda releases are stand alone so I won't be buying the digital single, that's for sure. Been bitten with that one before. And if it does end up being standalone, well the digital single will still be available later. I don't like buying anything digitally, so only do it when there is no other choice.

      New Crazy Lixx song due very soon

      By tts42572 · Posted

      Eclipse played that same game when Apocalypse Blues came out.  They dropped that song as just a single and made no mention of an album at that point as far as I remember.  All they were doing was selling the 7 inch vinyl.  We know now though that they clearly knew a full album was coming as Erik said they basically were working on both albums at the same time and deciding which tracks would go on each album.  Granted, maybe they didn't know the full timing of album #2 at that point but they certainly knew one was coming. Maybe the same here.  Maybe will trickle out a few songs and then announce an album later this year or early next year when it's closer to release.

      So, Danny posted how the song is doing on Spotify and someone asked if this means a new album soon. Danny just made vague replies and said "well there will be more stuff coming soon"

      What CDs did you buy this week?

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      Funnily enough, I read that this afternoon when I went to add the album to my collection on the main page. I got the European version which has two bonus tracks ... if you don't have them, you really aint missing anything

      Ryder SRIII - Cut From The Knife Edge Of Love

      By StewsBlues · Posted

      Created and Posted this video recently in order to promote Ryder SRIII a little more.  I love this song, one of my personal favs from the record.   Be careful viewing at work though (NSFW), just for a couple of images in the video.

      Named my HH self after the song Auslander on the album Stain. Love that track. Really like the whole album. It's like Living Colour's "Slave to the Grind" or "Dog Eat Dog".
