ADRIANGALE - New album 'Defiance'

After their triumphant return last year from a lengthy hiatus with the release of “Sucker Punch!” on Kivel Records, and their celebrated appearance at Melodicrock Fest 3, Adriangale is back, better than ever and maintaining forward momentum with their latest album “Defiance”, which will be released October 3 in conjunction with their appearance at Melodicrock Fest 4.

No strangers to the melodic rock genre, Adriangale have built up a loyal following since their first album “Feel The Fire” in 2000, consistently  presenting quality, memorable albums in a style which they can truly call  their own. The chemistry and bond between lead vocalist Jamie Rowe,  guitarist/principal songwriter Vic Rivera and guitarist Eddie Campbell is  genuine and - more so than ever - this unity and strength is eminently  present and assertive on Defiance.

As the leadoff single “Sometimes” has demonstrated, Defiance marks yet another forward and logical step in the evolution of Adriangale’s sound. “We’ve always blended heaviness with melody”, says Vic Rivera, “but this  time around, we really wanted to further explore the heavier side of  ourselves without losing the hooks we’ve come to be known for. It can be  difficult to make significant forward movement without totally abandoning  your past, but I was up for the challenge in crafting these songs to be the best, most honest version of ourselves while maintaining our identity - and I believe we were successful in capturing that and more on this album.”

A seamless combination of intense and heavy riffs, extremely melodic  vocals, superb musicianship and stunning production, Defiance is  undoubtedly Adriangale’s finest moment to date and is destined to become a favorite of melodic rock lovers everywhere, appealing to fans of the band both old and new!

Genesis - Turn It On Again (Three Sides Live)

“Three Sides Live” was filmed in November 1981 on the “Abacab” tour in North America. Originally released on VHS to coincide with the live album of the same name. Originally filmed in 16mm, the footage has now been  fully restored and is being reissued. The show focuses on tracks from the “Duke” and “Abacab” albums and the tracks are intercut with behind the scenes footage and interviews with the band members. As ever with Genesis, the show is visually stunning and it captures the band in their transition from their progressive days in the seventies through to the hugely successful pop/rock act they became from the mid-eighties onwards. Genesis have always been great live performers and “Three Sides Live” is a great addition to any fans collection.

Winger - Better Days Comin' (Official / New Studio Album / 2014)

Release dates: Europe: April 18th 2014 / North America: April 22nd 2014

Midnight Driver Of A Love Machine; Queen Babylon; Rat Race; Better Days Comin'; Tin Soldier; Ever Wonder; So Long China; Storm In Me; Be Who You Are, Now; Another Beautiful Day (*); Out Of This World.

(*) Bonus Track Available only on the Deluxe Edition

BETTER DAYS COMIN' is the highly anticipated new album from WINGER!

Brand new studio album from these classic hard rockers. Once again  Winger offers an exciting mixture of the melodic and commercial approach of their first two albums with the more technical and almost progressive rock feel of such albums as "Pull" or "IV".

"Better Days Comin'" is a logical follow up to the critically acclaimed  "Karma", which was hailed as one of the band's best releases ever. "Better Days Comin'" is an amazing new record where the four band members: Kip Winger (ex-Alice Cooper), Reb Beach (Whitesnake), Rod Morgenstein (Dixie Dregs, Steve Morse) and John Roth (Starship, Giant) shine with an intense display of incredible instrumental and vocal prowess. A fine set of hard rock songs with an uncanny sense of melody.

Deluxe edition includes one audio bonus track and a DVD including a  documentary "Making of the album" and two videoclips.

Look out for WINGER tour dates in the spring and summer in support of the new album!

Crazy Lixx - Crazy Lixx Samples (Official / New Studio Album / 2014)

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the release of the hotly anticipated fourth studio album from CRAZY LIXX. The self-titled album will be released on November 7th in Europe and November 11th in North America.

Just like every Rock band does at some point in their career, CRAZY LIXX thought it was the right time to release their Self-Titled album: the kind of album that really does the band’s name justice and that shows everyone what the band and their music is really all about. This is that album for Sweden’s CRAZY LIXX!

Says lead singer and producer Danny Rexon, “We were discussing possible titles for the album and we didn’t really feel like any of the suggestions  were quite right. Then I came up with the idea of a making it a self-titled
album and we all agreed this was the right time for one. You know, bearing the very name of the band, a self-titled album does have a lot to live up to, but we all felt that this album has what it takes to represent the band as a whole, both in terms of the songs, the sound and the performance.”

With their new album, CRAZY LIXX show their growth as a band by sinking their teeth into 11 anthemic rock songs that will satisfy both the hardcore Lixx fans, as well as all fans of melodic hard rock and hair metal in general. By combining the strategies of recording and producing the album  themselves along with utilizing the mixing skills of the great Chris Laney, the band has once again returned to the bombastic sound of CRAZY LIXX’s earlier work while at the same time adding the improved song-writing and musicianship of today’s CRAZY LIXX.

“We learnt a lot through the years, especially when it comes to the recording process and we put all that knowledge and experience to use on this album. We used many different studio settings to record different parts of the album and did not rush the recording, but made sure everything was as good as it could get. At the same time we did not want to be too  nitpicking with details, I mean we’re still in the business of rock n’ roll,   right?”, adds guitarist and co-producer of the album Andy Zata.

In addition to returning to the old CRAZY LIXX sound, the band has also re-recorded fan favorite “Heroes are Forever” which was originally on the band’s first, now out of print album. “It’s this one song, that was our first single back in around 2006, that we’ve played on almost every live show we’ve done since then, but when we started to think about it, it was a song that a lot of our fans had no chance to ever listen to. The first album, ‘Loud
Minority’, was released on a minor independent label, in a limited printing which has long since sold out, and it isn’t available digitally either. Still we felt that the track was one of those songs that had a really fundamental CRAZY LIXX vibe to it, so we decided to record it again and give the fans a nice treat. If you ask me, it came out way better this second time around,” says drummer Joél Cirera.

Newest and youngest member, bassist Jens Sjöholm adds: “Being my first album release with Crazy Lixx I don’t really have any special expectations, but hearing the final result and seeing how fired up the guys are about it  makes me look forward to seeing the reactions of the fans and media.”

With the addition of Jens Sjöholm and the return of original drummer Joél Cirera, CRAZY LIXX Mk III proved to be the best lineup to date, both in  concert and on record. “I think the fans will really enjoy what we’ve got in store for them with this album. Killer songs, great sound and memorable  hooks combined with a bit of the twin guitar action and riff-based approach that we added to the sound on our last album,” says guitarist Edd Liam.

“It’s really a bit of a do or die, no guts, no glory situation – after all, you  only get one chance to do a self titled album, so make sure you do it good,” concludes Danny Rexon.

“Crazy Lixx” tracklisting: Hell Raising Women; Sound Of The Loud Minority; Outlaw; Girls Of The 80’s; I Missed The Mark; All Looks, No Hooks; Ain’t  No  Rest In Rock N’ Roll; Call To Action; Heroes Are Forever; Psycho City;  Wrecking Ball Crew.

CRAZY LIXX are: DANNY REXON Vocals, JOÈL CIRERA Drums, ANDY ZATA  Guitar & Background Vocals, JENS SJOHOLM Bass, EDD LIAM Guitar &  Background Vocals

Guests on the album include: MATS LEVÉN (Backing vocals on tracks 1, 2,  4, 6, 8, 9 and 11), TÃ…VE WANNING (Backing vocals on tracks 4 and 5)

Celebrating Jon Lord 'Burn' Official Video Preview

On April 4, 2014, some of the best-loved musicians in the world assembled at the Royal Albert Hall to pay tribute to one of the most-missed musicians of them all: Jon Lord. “Celebrating Jon Lord” will be released as 1CD – The Composer, 2CD – The Rock Legend, 2DVD, Blu-ray, Box Set and Download on September 26th, 2014 on earMUSIC.

All product configurations feature individual cover artworks which are revealed for the first time today!

The Box Set features – besides the Blu-ray, 1CD The Composer and 2CD The Rock Legend – an exclusive T-shirt, a two-sided reproduction of an excerpt of Jon Lord’s original, handwritten music score for “Sarabande” - signed by Paul Mann as well as a 20 page reproduction of the evening’s original show program.

On top and as a real collector’s item, the box set also includes two very  special 7-inch vinyls: the first featuring the hypnotic live version of Deep  Purple’s classic “You Keep On Moving” with Glenn Hughes, Bruce Dickinson, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Micky Moody and on the B-side “Soldier Of Fortune”, both taken from the 2CD – The Rock Legend.

The second 7-inch vinyl stands in the tradition of Deep Purple as it includes the band’s touching live version of “Above And Beyond” originally from the no 1 album “NOW What?!” and here included in the magic Sunflower Jam 2014 live performance – a song dedicated to and inspired by Jon Lord. The B-side is dedicated to Lord‘s “Fantasia”.

Divided in two parts – the first focused on the classical music compositions, so dear to Jon Lord, and the second featuring a crescendo of emotions going through some of his highlights as a rock musician – the concert gave fans a chance to relive Jon Lord's remarkable and extensive musical career, remembering music from Paice, Ashton Lord, Deep Purple, his later classical compositions and everything in between – all in aid for the charity  organization The Sunflower Jam.

The 83-piece Orion Orchestra performed, conducted by Paul Mann and accompanied by bands and artists such as Deep Purple, Paul Weller, Glenn Hughes, Bruce Dickinson, Rick Wakeman, Joe Brown, Miller Anderson, Steve Balsamo and many, many more.

earMUSIC is revealing the first images from the show in a trailer video which includes excerpts from “Burn” (with Glenn Hughes, Bruce Dickison, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Rick Wakeman), The Artwood’s “Things Get Better” performed by Paul Weller, “This Time Around” performed by Glenn Hughes and of course, snippets of the grand Deep Purple finale including the songs “Uncommon  Man”, “Perfect Strangers” and “Hush” featuring Bruce Dickinson, Rick  Wakeman, Phil Campbell, Bernie Marsden and Micky Moody.
