Death Alley - Murder Your Dreams

Amsterdam four piece heavy rockers DEATH ALLEY have released their second album, "Superbia", March 23 as their debut on Century Media. The eight-track outing is rife with a progressive feel even beyond what the band brought to their 2015 Tee Pee Records first long-player, Black Magick Boogieland (review here), and no, I’m not just talking about the King Crimson-style chase scenes tucked into 11-minute closer “The Sewage.” It’s the whole record. Even as the opening push of “Daemon” seems to pick up where “Supernatural Predator” from the preceding full-length left off, it does so bring together different sides of DEATH ALLEYs sound — the melody and the danger — the raw earth thrust and the outer space presence.

Behold DEATH ALLEY. The New Wave of Dutch Loudness gave birth to not just another band. No, thriving on the sharp edges of Motörhead’s rock and roll, soaked in MC5-fuelled protopunk and forged with Sabbath’s edginess, DEATH ALLEY brings a unique swinging rawness that savors of BLUE OYSTER CULT on steroids.

The band – that features ex-members of GEWAPEND BETON, MUHR, and THE DEVILs BLOOD – will surprise you with an unorthodox cross contamination of fine metal and rock ‘n roll tunes, crowned with a pitch black psychedelic soul cherry.

Today's tune "Murder Your Dreams", taken from the album "Superbia".

Megadeth - Dystopia

Dystopia is the fifteenth studio album by American thrash metal band MEGADETH, released on January 22, 2016. The album, produced by Dave Mustaine and Chris Rakestraw, is the first by the band since 2004's The System Has Failed not to feature longtime drummer Shawn Drover and also the first not to feature guitarist Chris Broderick since 2007's United Abominations. These roles have been filled by LAMB OF GOD drummer Chris Adler and ANGRA guitarist Kiko Loureiro, respectively.

Mustaine elaborated on possible lyrical themes, revealing that he had been reading about world history and "crazy science stuff". Both Mustaine and Ellefson had indicated that the album would feature a different musical and stylistic approach from the previous album, including a move away from a radio-oriented sound. Mustaine also stated his belief that the album sound and songwriting would be influenced by his 2014 guest performance alongside the San Diego Symphony.

In July 2014, Mustaine announced that he was editing a demo for a new track titled "Why We Lie to You". He has described the track as "kind of like if Jack Bauer was in a band, what he would sing about," and compared the song's structure with that of "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due". In May 2015, the band posted several videos clips on PledgeMusic featuring snippets of new songs, titled "The Emperor" and "Conquer... or Die". MEGADETH recorded fifteen tracks, two of which are covers: "Melt the Ice Away" by Budgie and "Foreign Policy" by Fear. "Poisonous Shadows" was stated by Mustaine to feature piano parts performed by Loureiro, as well as orchestral arrangement by Ronn Huff, father of record producer Dann Huff who worked with the band in the late 1990s. It was also announced that the album would feature a guest appearance from country musician Steve Wariner, who would perform steel guitar parts. However, neither Huff, nor Wariner were credited in the album's liner notes.

I saw a performance with MEGADETH at FortaRock just outside Amsterdam in Netherlands 2 weeks ago and it was exactly as I predicted, good show. Seen them before and they are very good live. Here is two pictures that I snapped this sunny day :)
