“With a nifty brand of gothy symphonic metal, I sense that greatness awaits” Bruce Dickinson

Formed in Britain late 2006, DAMNATION ANGELS set out to create a new benchmark in symphonic metal.

The band began by releasing their debut e.p Shadow Symphony in 2009, receiving rave reviews from critics stating that the band are “the brightest spark to emerge upon the UK scene in a very long time” and are “comparable with mega acts such as Avantasia and Blind Guardian“. Following the release the band struck a deal with Radtone Records (Japan) and released their debut album “Bringer Of Light” in Japan. A worldwide release followed in 2013 when the band struck a multi album deal with Massacre Records (Germany).

Bringer Of Light gained acclaim and topped Amazon charts worldwide, breaking into the top 100 downloads for all music in Germany. The success and reception of Bringer Of Light propelled the band to play outside of the UK for the very first time at the prestigious ProgPower USA Festival and a European tour with Andromeda.

The bands follow up album “The Valiant Fire” was released in 2015 followed by back to back European tours with progmetal legends Threshold. The album again received rave reviews, featured in magazines and press with Metal Hammer‘s Dom Lawson stating “The gleaming grandeur of new album “The Valiant Fire” marking them out as meticulous masters of the form“.

PERFECT BLUE SKY 'Darkness meets light’ song craft duo featuring Swedish black metal guitarist Pontus (PNA) Andersson from Netherbird and Australian alt-rock vocalist Jane Kitto. Combining their influences as songwriters, their sound is a hybrid between 70's psychedelic rock meets 90's grunge. They have performed in various constellations with guest musicians throughout the UK, Australia, Scandinavia, France and the Baltic states. Their current British line-up features James Frost on drums and bassist Jon Middleton. During Covid 19, all of PBS main shows had been cancelled until 2021. In the meantime the duo have kept up their presence making occasional on-line acoustic appearances. Andersson and Kitto together have released 2 full length albums and 5 singles. Perfect Blue Sky’s 1st single/video ‘Oh Pretty One’ is out June 26, 2020 via Record Union in Stockholm Sweden. The video can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/fkk_yyafsSI



'Oh Pretty One' is a song about a girl on the autistic spectrum somewhat trapped inside her imagination. The video was inspired by American photographer Francesca Woodman who lived in New York City until her death in 1981. She was an artist who created a beautiful, exploratory and imaginary world within her art whilst outside her door, the world appeared grey, alien and mundane. She constantly redesigned her inner world theatre until there was nothing left to discover. Based on a true story!

The video was made during lock down in our apartment staircase here in Newquay Cornwall with Pna's newly aquired 3D Animation skills and the video was shot with Jane's iPhone, its pretty hilarious.

Oh Pretty One (Single) can be ordered here: https://smarturl.it/OhPrettyOnePBS [The Silver Ark (B-Side)]

PERFECT BLUE SKY is:

Pontus (PNA) Andersson Vocals - Guitars
Jane Kitto Vocals - Acoustic guitar
James Frost - Drums
Jon Middleton - Bass
Frank Bessard Studio Drums
Danny Oakhill - Keyboards
Plus additional guest players

PERFECT BLUE SKY making a series of consecutive digital singles over the year (along with the B-Sides) and will compile them perhaps into a possible album later on. More info at Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_Blue_Sky

Two Gratitude Albums released to thank the NHS for all they've done during the COVID19 crisis - Full Review

No-one can question the hard work and dedicated the NHS has proven during the COVID19 crisis here in the UK. Selflessly working to make and keep us all well. It is then very fitting that not one but two music compilations have been released as a way for musicians to say a big, warm thank you all those involved.

The Gratitude compilation was an idea brought to life by Deadfall Artist/Band Management, Secret Sin Records and The Cage Studios to show support for and to raise money for NHS Together Charities during the Covid-19 outbreak.

Over 80 bands from the alternative music scene worldwide got involved and supplied tracks for the compilation. A renowned artist and friend, John D’Anter, volunteered to do the artwork which is a poignant portrayal of the Covid -19 situation, and the heavy burden fallen on the NHS in the United Kingdom.

Due to the overwhelming response from the bands in the scene, the compilation had to be split into two parts in order to accommodate the number of tracks used.

Gratitude part 1 & 2 is available to download via Bandcamp and has a minimum suggested donation of £ 7.99.

https://deadfallmanagement.bandcamp.com/album/gratitude-part-1

https://deadfallmanagement.bandcamp.com/album/gratitude-part-2

There's something for everyone with the music across these two compilations from metal and punk to dark wave and indie. A fantastic idea that we're sure the NHS will appreciate. There's 87 songs to play which is great value for more from bands like The Arch,  System of Hate and Rome Burns.  Go to the bandcamp page and show your support 9/10

ROX Network: Eddie's mini Reviews 28 June 2020

A very good album very much in the vain of Nightwish ,very tight and professional band who play together  rather well.the vocalist has an amazing voice ,she uses it to full force on all of the tracks.there are no bad tracks on this album,the band show their full potential.all in all a brilliant album,well worth a listen.   9/10

Old school thrash makes a return,with a fuck you attitude.very much in the vain of true Bay Area thrash,from the heavy chug of the guitars,to the precise guitar solos.these make this album rather special .the voice ,the drums ,the bass there are no faults.put this album on you player and turn it up loud,you will not be disappointed.      10/10

A mini album with a lot of similarity to what is out on the scene now a days,if you like the grunt of a voice changing into a melodic chorus,this is for you.they have taken what is happening on the metal music scene at the moment,and have done it a bit better.very professional musicians,who can play their instruments well.the tracks are quite different and gives you an insight into what this band are capable of.would be interesting to listen to a full album,whether they can hack it or put fillers in.not a bad listen,they leave a big question mark good or not,that’s up to you .             6/10

Bloody hell these guys are fast,speed played at its very best.on this mini album from the first track to the last,the band go no less than 100 mph and give 100%.very accomplished speed metallers,with surprisingly very intricate solos.a great album ,cannot wait for a full album to be released.well done guys,you fucking rock.           9/10

Dublin’s finest new rock/metal quintet JET FUEL CHEMISTRY have streamed their video for new single 'War', taken from their forthcoming EP Sign of the Times, released on 7^th August.

Watch the video, premiered on Distorted Sound, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xudOcd9iyAY

And pre-save the single here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/jetfuelchemistry/sign-of-the-times

Elements of I Prevail, Nothing More, While She Sleeps and modern Bring Me The Horizon come together to create an EP far more than the sum of its parts. Opener ‘War’ is an absolute lungburster of a track and at no point throughout the five-track salvo do JET FUEL CHEMISTRY let up.

An impressive collection of songs from such a young band, JET FUEL CHEMISTRY first came together three years ago. The entirety of the band’s EP was recorded, mixed, and mastered in guitarist / producer Danny’s bedroom, for a grand total of £0.

A scintillating mix of anthemic alternative rock and modern metalcore mark this new group as ones to truly take attention of.

The sounds of Dublin are fully embedded in Sign of the Times. As bassist Lorcan states:
"Dublin is a city notorious for phenomenal indie music and there's a lot of positives to that, but what's overlooked by that movement is the misery endured by Dublin's young people for the last decade as more and more of their lives and identities shift to social media. We love the music coming out of our city but most of it does not capture the spirit of dread and aimlessness that's become the norm here. We want our songs to not only acknowledge these issues, but to give a two fingered salute to the enablers of our collective unhappiness and offer a source of strength to anybody feeling as lost as we do."

Such a thoughtful, considered approach is typical of JET FUEL CHEMISTRY and a true acknowledgement of their calibre, carried throughout the five songs. The EP’s eponymous track satirises our modern culture of self-worship, with the cry ‘it’s just a sign of the times’ signalling the forfeit of redemption in favour of nihilism. The track opens with a Greta Thunberg quote that perfectly encapsulates how self-involved we have become: a young woman speaking at the UN, begging them to take responsibility, and yet she becomes the target of abuse.

Who cares about public approval when you have integrity?

The spotlight on JET FUEL CHEMISTRY has grown steadily brighter following a whirlwind of live shows across Ireland, more than holding their own as support to a string of powerhouse US rock bands from Halestorm to Hundredth.

JET FUEL CHEMISTRY ARE: 

Danny Bochkov - Guitarist / Producer
Ed Orr - Guitarist
Lorcan Macken - Bassist
Dan Cusack - Vocalist
Ross McDermott – Drummer

Desert groove rockers PATRÓN have released new single/video 'Jump In The Fire', featuring Barrett Martin on drums, Alain Johannes on bass and guitar, and Aurélien Barbolosi on guitar.

Premiered via Visions magazine, watch 'Jump In The Fire' here: https://youtu.be/rrrWfuwaedY

'Jump In The Fire' is the fourth single taken from their debut self-titled album, Patrón, out now via Klonosphere.

PATRÓN is a new project fronted by Lo (aka Patrón) frontman of the band Loading Data. The self-titled debut album was produced by Alain Johannes (Queens of the Stone Age, Eleven, Them Crooked Vultures, Chris Cornell Band) and also happens to be the last album ever recorded in his legendary studio 11AD, in Los Angeles.  

Lo had some well known friends record the album with him: Joey Castillo (Danzig, Queens of the Stone Age, The Bronx), Barrett Martin (Mad Season, Screaming Trees, Tuatara), Nick Oliveri (Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, Mondo Generator), Aurélien Barbolosi (Aston Villa) and Monique St Walker (Blackbird Days).

PATRÓN is a melting pot of influences, a new entity, a sort of Frankenstein creature, borrowing as much from stoner rock, 50s rock n roll, the Rat Pack as from 80s pop. It's sexy, it’s groovy, it’s loud and heavy. Heady melodies that will stick to your skin like a thirsty alcoholic tick.

PATRÓN are: 
Lo aka Patrón : Lead Vocal / Guitar / Keyboard
Joey Castillo : Drums
Nick Oliveri : Bass
Aurélien Barbolosi : Guitars
Alain Johannes : Bass, Guitar, Keyboard, Vocal
Barrett Martin : Drums
Monique St Walker : Vocals
Aurelia : Vocals

German metalcore quintet RISING INSANE have released a metal cover of Michael Sembello's Flashdance hit 'Maniac'. The track is out now on all digital platforms and follows the band's album Porcelain, which was released last year via Long Branch Records. 

Check out the video for 'Maniac' here: https://youtu.be/ToPYG-8XuBI

Stream/purchase 'Maniac' here: https://risinginsane.lnk.to/maniac

RISING INSANE deliver music in a dualistic manner: post-hardcore inspired rage is coupled with melancholic overtones, creating a sound that is irresistible to fans of melodic and aggressive modern metal.

A band with hardworking DIY roots, RISING INSANE released debut album Nation in June 2017 which quickly earned them shows with the likes of The Devil Wears Prada, For Today, Stray from the Path and more. The DIY struggle further inspired the band and fuelled their determination, which paid off with them earning a German and Austrian tour with Annisokay at the end of 2018 and a slot at Impericon Festival 2019.

Strengthened by the energy of this ride, they produced and recorded their second album, Porcelain, which was released on 1st November 2019 via Long Branch Records. Still inspired by self initiative and DIY work ethic, Porcelain is the most honest, inspiring and haunting music RISING INSANE have ever written.

Purchase Porcelain in various formats here: https://risinginsane.lnk.to/Porcelain

RISING INSANE are:

Aaron Steineker - Vocals
Ulf Hedenkamp - Bass
Sven Polizuk - Guitar
Florian Köchy - Guitar
Robert Kühling - Drums

A real punk rock group with heavy metals A-team. DIY, in your face. More than a band. A movement. Stoked is not even close to how this feels for me. Surrounded by legends, and to be a part of something so special is truly and uniquely a gift. The riffs and playing on these songs are in a league of their own. Only something the finest craftsmen in their respective fields could create and to put my voice to it is a high honor. Punks not dead.”   Kling added, “The world needs a punk, it has been far too long without. If you know a punk, then hand them this music. They will rejoice, I know because I was there.”   forepunk.bandcamp.com The debut FORE album is being mixed and mastered by Nordberg and Kling at their own Smoke & Mirrors Productions in Spring Hill, Florida.   Lehighton, PA Hard Alternative Rock Band ANOTHER DAY DAWNS has released the official music video for their newest single, "Forget Me Not."

INCOMING!  Meteora.    After we finished writing songs for our second album, we thought squeezing in one more track as a bonus was possible with the time we had left. ’Tragedy of Delusion’ was 10 songs long already, so we weren’t really forced to do it, we just had been toying with the idea of doing a cover for quite some time, and this seemed to be the ideal time. We threw music at eachother in our facebook group, had a few really strong contenders, but in the end Numb won. With the name Meteora we were thought to be a Linkin Park tribute a few times, especially in the beginning, so it was just fitting to do a song of theirs from their second album, ’Meteora’. When giving the name we didn’t have that record in mind to be honest, but the Meteora temples in Greece. Máté was studying architecture at university, and he presented this idea for us some weeks before our first live show. By now it grew on us, and it represents a quiet place above everything, where you can draw back to, and calmly observ the world beneath. We were planning to do a different kind of video for this song, but along with the concerts these ideas were made impossible aswell. We didn’t want to keep people hanging though for an undefinite amount of time, so we joined the ’lockdown video movement’. We really hope that people will be open minded about the music, and like the minimalist approach of the video.

PERSEIDE was born from four childhood friends who decided to form a rock band in 2001, as they were just teenagers. Ten years later, they were crossing the frontiers to share their music widely. After two EP released, a signing to OrageRock label, thousands of gigs across France, Europe and even in the USA, with bands like Soilwork, Betraying The Martyrs, Cancer Bats, We Butter The Bread With Butter, Protest The Hero… The story is still being written today. In 2018, they decided to go into the studio again to record their debut album, which is going to be released early 2020. PERSEIDE is still there, stronger than ever and ready to take these four eternal teenagers as far as possible…   For fans of Avenged Sevenfold, Enter Shikari, In Flames, The Used...     Buy the album on CD / Digital editions   INCOMING! MARMALADE KNIVES released their debut LP, Amnesia via Italian label Electric Valley Records. Came on on April 24th, the album is available on vinyl and digital formats.  Marmalade Knives was formed in the mountains of Santa Cruz, CA, as a collaboration between guitarists Clinton Wilkins and Justin Spivey, exploring the depths of outer-limits psychedelia. Wilkins spent several years studying with David First (acclaimed minimalist/microtonal composer and member of cult 70s/80s NYC no-wave legends The Notekillers) and Spivey is a well-regarded collector/historian of original period psychedelic/progressive music, writer at UK psych rag Moof Magazine, and recent songwriting contributor to the underground cult film The Yucca Sisters by Samuel Casebolt.   The lineup of the band eventually grew to a full-on 5 member troupe of local freak–rock 'n' rollers, including bassist Mark Robinson, drummer Kyle Herrenkohl (of SF acid-folkers TABERNACLE), and keyboardist Nathan Warrick (of APACHE DROPOUT). In the summer of 2018, they tracked their debut album at Loud House Studio in Santa Cruz, CA, and over the following year, the production and mixing of the album were helmed by Adam Kriney (of THE GOLDEN GRASS/LA OTRACINA).   Kriney says of the process: “I used a very ‘Teo Macero’ style approach to the arranging, editing, and mixing of the material the band first tracked at their basic album sessions. And much in the same way that Macero [Miles Davis' long-time producer] approached the editing of material from In A Silent Way up through Get Up With It, I generated new and refined song forms out of those initial recording sessions, reimagining the music to crystallize its vision. We then built further upon those ideas with remote recording/mixing sessions across Santa Cruz, New York City, and Asheville, NC, for over a year until the musical narrative from those sessions was complete and the album was finished.” Amnesia is a sprawling tapestry of classically inspired progressive psychedelia. A voyage through a mythical cosmic rock universe, layered with dense squalls of abstract sound collage and fields of freeform freakouts, all coloured with old-world folk melodies/modalities and pulsing with a funky rhythm section!
