The Necromancers - Of Blood And Wine

Monday, a new week and it's time to shake some life in the "Record of The Week".

"Of Blood And Wine" is the second full-length from the French melodic doom quartet THE NECROMANCERS.

The album is a six-track, 44-minute long buffet with mixed melodic doom and classic heavy metal from the past, garish and whiskey drenched vocals, galloping heavy riffage with a stench of the 70's hard rock, springled with SABBATH with a layer of NWOBHM.

The album opens up with a soundtrack guitar riff, first thoughts lands on an early Frankenstein, until the shape changes and "Join The Dead Ones" starts for real, the vocals, melody flirts with GHOST, until the chorus comes and the vocals gets turbid and wheezy, an occult doomish wibe lies over the track. The next tune "Erzebeth" is a 13-minute epic piece and really stands out, dual galloping riffs that throw us back in time, floats out like an octopussy and fingers a bit here and there, wonderful, a true beauty. The tunes have a pretty long playtime except for the title track, just under three minutes which spins low-melted through as an interlude. Halfway through the album, it's time for the catchy "Secular Lord", full of hormone-induced musicians that just bubbles of crazy but well-thought creations that end up in excellent tune. "Lust" is a half pace tune that flows nicely until it half burst out in the middle and shifts direction in the end. The album closes up with the epic chanting tune "The Gathering", where an occult sacrifice ceremony takes place in the backyard, a gloomy landscape opens up and you wonder where the hell you are, say hey to the devil, you have just been sold. To summarize the album its highly majestic release and a superb follow-up to "Servants Of The Salem Girl".

“Of Blood And Wine” was released on October 5th, 2018 via Ripple Music!

Nelson - After the Rain

Sunday, time for a classic.

NELSON is an American rock band founded by singer/songwriters Matthew and Gunnar Nelson (twin sons of Ricky Nelson and Kristin Nelson). The band achieved success during the early 1990s with their double platinum debut album After the Rain, which featured the number-one hit "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection".

NELSON members:

Matthew Nelson – lead and back-up vocals, bass, electric, 12-string, and acoustic guitars,
Gunnar Nelson – lead and back-up vocals, rhythm, 12-string,
Brett Garsed – all intercontinental lead guitars, rhythm, acoustic 6 and 12-strings, back-up vocals,
Paul Mirkovich – all keyboards, grand piano, strings, back-up vocals,
Bobby Rock – drums,
Joey Cathcart – additional vocals and instrumental expertise

Video of the song that gives name to the production of the NELSON brothers in 1990, this song came to Guinness Book of Records after to be the third generation of his family to have a record in a number one of charts.

After finishing the touring cycle for "After the Rain", the band found themselves in massive debt despite the album's success. NELSON returned to the studio and recorded their second album, Imaginator, but it was rejected by their producer and the label for being too dark and heavy. Shelving that album, the band recorded a new collection of songs which became their second release "Because They Can" 5 years after their debut in 1995. By this time fans had moved on, and the record failed to chart, bringing to NELSONs relationship with the label to an end.

Enjoy today's tune!

Black Country Communion - Collide

BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION (BBC) is an earth-shattering combination of American and British rock influences—a bona fide super group that conveys to the world a simple but important message: These four icons prove that Hard rock is alive and well in the 21st century. Their communion together forms something that is greater than the sum of its parts, creating a legacy being cemented within the halls of music history.

The band took a hiatus in 2013 and focused on their successful solo careers. Recently, BCC recorded a new Studio album and they are excited to perform on stage together again on KTBA IV in February 2018. The reputation they’ve cultivated, not only as amazing songwriters, but as a powerful live act, is only exceeded by their dedication to their craft, and a willingness to challenge and motivate each other to make the best music they can.

“We had around 4 months to write this album, and I think the results speak for themselves,” comments Glenn Hughes. “All four of us wanted to make a record that stood up to the first three albums, however, the new album is more of a progression, as we wanted to be careful not to repeat the previous albums. A lot has happened since we last recorded the Afterglow album in 2013, so, in many ways, the new album shows BCC with a much harder, riffier and bigger and bolder sound. If you’re looking for a folk album, this ain’t the one.”

The band assembled to record ‘BCCIV’ at Cave Studios in Los Angeles in January 2017. The album was mixed at Cave Studios in Sydney in March. The songs on BCCIV will appeal to all fans of high quality hard rock, also those that admire singers of distinction. Hughes is not known as The Voice of Rock for nothing.

In terms of content, ‘BCCIV’ expands upon the progression that took place between the first three albums. With an abundance of heavy riffs, undeniable hooks, melodic flair and infectious choruses, BCCIV is a spectacular album that gets bigger and bolder with repeated spins.

Today’s tune ”Collide” is taken from the upcoming album ”BCCIV”. "I had written the Riff to this song in the morning of the first day of writing BCCIV. Joe came over and I played him the riff, and we finished the song before lunch. I had a feeling that Collide would set the pace for the record”, says Glenn Hughes

Days Of Jupiter - Broken Halo

The Swedish DAYS OF JUPITER are ready to take the world by storm with their bombastic, catchy melodic and heavy brand of hardrock.

The band looks for influences on both sides of the Atlantic ocean and they combines the modern american metal with classic hardrock from Europe and moulding it to their own mix as you can discover on their debut album "Secrets brought to life". The album consists of 10 uncompromising songs that will blow everyone away.

DAYS OF JUPITER was formed in january 2010 in Örnsköldsvik and after a few changes in the line-up they formed a solid group that could deliver the bands vision of a worldclass hardrock/metalband. 2010 was a year of a lot of hardwork that resulted in a lot of livegigs in Sweden with a fantastic response from the audience as well as a second place in Sweden's biggest competition for unsigned bands. They began the recording of their debut album with well known producer Patrik Frisk (CORRODED, TAKIDA, CRASHDIET) in Sidelake studios and were very pleased with the results when they finished recording in august 2011.

Marillion - Easter

Easter is a song from English neo-progressive rock band MARILLIONs 1989 album Seasons End, which became a UK Top 40 hit when issued as a single in 1990. Allmusic describe the song as "heartfelt" with an "imaginative electric-acoustic arrangement". As with many MARILLION songs, the album version features an extended guitar solo by Steve Rothery, which has become a fan-favourite, although it is heavily edited for the single version. The song was written by singer Steve Hogarth before he joined the band in 1989 and was inspired by The Troubles in Northern Ireland. The title is in reference to Easter 1916 by William Butler Yeats. Portions of the video were filmed on the Giants Causeway.

Following the departure of Fish, MARILLION started to audition singers while writing the new album, and they eventually chose Steve Hogarth. The music for Seasons End was mostly finished by the time Hogarth joined MARILLION, and only a couple of songs on it actually have some pieces written by him, most notably "Easter" and "The Space". A number of the lyrics were written by John Helmer, who the band had commissioned before Hogarth joining. He would continue to contribute lyrics throughout the 1990s.

Much of the music on Seasons End had been composed while Fish was still in the band. The bonus disc of the 1999 re-issue of Clutching at Straws contains a number of nascent versions of songs that would end up on Seasons End with vocals and lyrics by Fish, these demos having been produced during the writing sessions for the ill-fated fifth studio album with Fish. (A number of the lyrical concepts from these demos, such as The Voice in the Crowd, would later resurface on Fish's debut studio album, Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors.)

The album was produced jointly by MARILLION and Nick Davis (who would go on to work with Genesis and associated acts). Singles

As with MARILLIONs previous two studio albums, three singles were released from Seasons End. The first single was "Hooks in You" in August 1989, followed by "The Uninvited Guest" in November and "Easter" in March 1990.

Todays tune "Easter" is taken from the fifth studio album "Seasons End", released in 1989. The album was the first to feature current lead singer Steve Hogarth, following the departure of former vocalist Fish in late 1988. Have a happy Easter and enjoy the tune!

H.E.A.T - Tearing Down The Walls

Live In London is the upcoming "Live" album by the Swedish melodic rockers H.E.A.T. 

That these men would develop as much as they have done in recent years, I never thought they would made it as far as they have, it looked more like a band that would disappear in the roar and be forgotten in the record shelf, now I just can clap my hands and say, well done boys.

H.E.A.T is one of those bands which you need to see live on stage. Armed with a reputation of a brilliant live act, Sweden’s rock sensation is always in to deliver a truly energetic and passionate show. “Live In London” is the band’s first ever live release and truly captures the band at their best. Mainly recorded at The Garage in London on May 16, 2014 during their first ever European headline tour, “Live In London” is going to be released on February 20, 2015 on earMUSIC.

Mixed by Grammy award winning producer Tobias Lindell, the live album includes 15 powerful hymns. Front man Erik Grönwall knows how to seduce the audience with his powerful crisp clear voice and his boundless, hyperactive stage persona which makes the audience go crazy. The band – Eric Rivers (guitar), Jona Tee (keyboards), Jimmy Jay (bass) and Crash (drums) – join in with a sheer force of energy and fully indulge themselves into the music. The on point performance includes all the band’s classics, from the melodious “1000 Miles” to the catchy “It’s All About Tonight” and “Breaking The Silence” as well as their most recent smashes “A Shot At Redempetion” and “Mannequin Show” – to all of which the audience passionately sings along. H.E.A.T will definitely restore your faith in rock music.

In 2009, H.E.A.T had a huge hit in Scandinavia with the song “1000 Miles” which was followed by a nomination as one of the Top 50 albums in 2010 by Classic Rock Magazine UK for the band’s second album “Freedom Rock”. Their third studio album “Address The Nation” was praised by media worldwide as one of the best album’s in 2012 and consolidated the band’s reputation as the new leading band in hard edged melodic rock. “Tearing Down The Walls”, their celebrated fourth studio album, continued on the road to success on which H.E.A.T provided their fans with phenomenal songs and the band’s historic sound – Metal Hammer UK certified that the album included hit after hit whereas Classic Rock Germany named H.E.A.T one of the best bands from Sweden. All during the band’s history, H.E.A.T have been touring all over the world, winning the whole of Europe over with their powerful live performances. A band that went on tour with Toto right after they started, that went Top 10 in Sweden with their debut album and supported Alice Cooper as well as Scorpions definitely got something right.

Todays tune "Tearing Down the Walls" is the title track taken from the the fourth studio album and first album without the guitarist Dave Dalone. Released in 2014. The tune is also featuring on the upcoming live album "Live In London", set to release Feb 20, 2015. Filming credits: Kristian Heat Reuter, Lee II Gyu and Jang Geun Woo

House of Lords - Battle

House of Lords is a glam metal/AOR band from Los Angeles, California. House of Lords was formed in 1987 by former Angel member and keyboardist Gregg Giuffria after his solo project Giuffria. After listening to demos - originally intended for Giuffria's third record - a record deal with Gene Simmons' company Simmons Record was agreed upon, on Simmon's condition that the band's name be changed (to House of Lords) and a new lead singer recruited. James Christian thus replaced David Glen Eisley, after Christian was suggested by ex-Giuffria and Quiet Riot bassist Chuck Wright, after having worked together in L.A. Rocks.

House of Lords' eponymous debut was released in 1988, featuring a heavier sound than Giuffria with a lower keyboard mix. The album received critical acclaim and the band toured with both Cheap Trick and the Scorpions in 1989.

House of Lords debuted in 1989 with the release of the self-titled album, a record which is still regarded as one of the best Arena Rock releases of the 80’s. The colossal sound, the soaring vocals of James Christian and instrumental capabilities of the band (which featured ex Angel and Giuffria, Gregg Giuffria, along with such luminaries as Lanny Cordola, Chuck Wright and Ken Mary), reminiscent of such frontrunners as Whitesnake, Deep Purple and Van Halen, immediately brought the band to the attention of the media and fans.

With their sophomore release entitled “Sahara”, House of Lords gained considerable chart success with their cover version of Blind Faith’s “Can't Find My Way Home”. After a tour with Nelson in 1991, the group disbanded, eventually coming back together with a new lineup (only featuring original members Giuffria and Christian) in 1992 with "Demon's Down". This was a more melodic record which saw the big contribution at the songwriting helm - between others - of Mark Baker, a guy who penned a couple of years before the majority of the Signal “Loud and Clear” album, one of the most sought after gems of the Melodic Rock genre.

With the change of the musical climate, House of Lords went into hibernation until the original lineup came back together in 2000, releasing of the controversial “Power and the Myth” an album which featured a sound leaning more towards Progressive Hard Rock with 70’s rock influences.

After a short European tour, singer James Christian decided to go back to the trademark Arena Rock sound of House Of Lords, putting together a new line-up with the blessing of founding member Gregg Giuffria, who opted out right before the release of “Power and the Myth”. New members Jimi Bell on guitars, B.J. Zampa on drums supplied a true powerhouse sound to the fifth studio album “World Upside Down”, a record which caused a real stir in the Hard Rock and Melodic Rock scene and was followed up by the equally impressive “Come to My Kingdom” in 2008.

Fast forward to September 2011 which will mark the release of the newest addition to a stellar catalogue of songs. BIG MONEY, is well, ‘BIG’. The album starts with the trademark vocals of James Christian and crashes into a Power Rock Classic that you will not forget after the first listen, followed by in a song that Christian describes “as the band’s best work to date”: “One Man Down”. Each song has its own distinct quality as you would expect from The Lords and once again the album is full of soaring choruses, awesome guitar work and songs that grab you from the first listen and don’t let go. James teamed up again on the songwriting with long-time friend and partner Mark Baker along with the other band memmbers Jimi Bell and BJ Zampa.

House of Lords is:

James Christian – vocals
Jimi Bell – guitars
BJ Zampa – drums
Chris McCarvill - bass

Todays tune "Battle" is taken from the ninth studio album "Precious Metal" that is following up the critically acclaimed "Big Money". This brand new release, recorded and produced by the band's singer and mastermind James Christian, again has a stellar sound, with solid and baroque songwriting mixed with unique melodic sensibilities and amazing musical skills.

Musically "Precious Metal" shows a return to the roots of the band's sound. James Christian as usual sings his heart out and he sounds better than ever on these new songs. Guitarist Jimi Bell shines with heavy, but melodic riffs throughout the album, with Chris McCarville and BJ Zampa bringing a solid and powerful rhythm foundation to the House of Lords sound.

In James Christian's words: "When we started to write this record, we knew after the 1st song that we were on to something special. The energy level was off the charts for all of us. Jimi Bell came out swinging and BJ and Chris were just crushing it. Recording this album was very easy as the songs already had arrangements that were complete. Precious Metal is a testament to years of being a band that loves what they do and has so much more to offer in the years to come."

Dark Tranquillity - Uniformity

New week, which means it's time to crown a new album that may wear the title of Record Of The Week.

The Swedish melodic death metalheads "Dark Tranquillity" is back with a new album. "Construct" is the tenth full-length studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Dark Tranquillity. It was released on May 27, 2013, in Europe, and on May 28, 2013, in North America, through Century Media Records.

Todays tune is the first taste from the album and the band commented on the style of the album, saying, "While still bearing the unmistakable mark of the Dark Tranquillity, the record is probably our most different and diverse offering since 1999's Projector". And I can only agree that this is a bit different, more "experimental" than previous and I do like what I hear, this album grows more and more on every turn.

A music video for "Uniformity", directed by Patric Ullaeus, was released on May 10, 2013.

Pretty Maids - Mother of All Lies

The Danish heavy metal band Pretty Maids have just released their new single and video "Mother of All Lies" taken from the upcoming 13th album "Motherland".

After their successful and highly acclaimed 2010 album "Pandemonium", Danish melodic Hard Rockers, Pretty Maids celebrated their 30th anniversary with their debut visual release "It Comes Alive (Maid in Switzerland)" in 2012. "Pandemonium" showed the world that Pretty Maids were in a creative spring again, with the band in their finest moment. The melodic approach brought a return to the "Future World / Red Hot and Heavy" era of the eighties, but with an updated sound and freshness that consolidated Pretty Maids as strong as ever.

In late spring 2012, the band gathered to finally write the follow up album. Singer Ronnie Atkins tells: "We knew it was going to be a tough one to follow ! I remember back in the day when we had to follow up albums like "Future World", we tried more or less to copy the songs from the previous album to keep the same kind of balance. But this time we just wrote what came natural to us and that's what became "Motherland".

The band teamed up again with producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Amaranthe) for the new album. Ronnie says: "Jacob was a natural choice since we had a great experience with him producing the "Pandemonium" album. The recordings went smooth to begin with, but then we had to start touring again during the weekends and this created some stress. Though I really feel strongly about "Motherland". In my view it has all the ingredients of a good Pretty Maids album, maybe even more melodic than "Pandemonium" and absolutely, as far as I'm concerned a worthy follow up".

Founded in early 1982 by guitarist Ken Hammer and singer Ronnie Atkins, Pretty Maids soon established themselves as a band to be taken seriously in the early eighties, having their breakthrough with the release - in April 1987 - of the album "Future World". This record soon gathered a universal recognition as a "Classic", which endures to date, and allowed the band to perform in from of large audiences thanks to their tour with Deep Purple and their appearances in the "Monsters of Rock" festival. The following album "Jump The Gun" kept the momentum for the band, particularly in Europe and Japan.

Throughout the nineties Pretty Maids continued to release albums, usually followed by European and Japanese tours with the band still maintaining a very high songwriting and production standards. The release of "Wake up to the Real World" in 2006 started the band's relationship with Frontiers Records.

"Motherland" will include the following tracks:

Mother Of All Lies; To Fool A Nation; Confession; The Iceman; Sad To See You Suffer; Hooligan; Infinity; Why So Serious; Motherland; I See Ghosts; Bullet For You; Who What Where When Why; Wasted.

PRETTY MAIDS:

Ronnie Atkins - vocals
Ken Hammer - guitars
Morten Sandager - keyboards
Allan Tschicaja - drums
Rene Shades - bass

Although Ronnie is becoming increasingly wrinkled over the years, he still possesses a large amount of voice that still sounds really good. Ken gets all rounder but sets the riffs. I like that the band still keeps a keen grip on the Danish flag as they so proud wear when it comes to creating really catchy rock. The lads can in other words still rock.

Todays tune "Mother of All Lies" is the new single anticipates the release of the album "Motherland" scheduled to be released on Frontiers Records on March 22nd in Europe and March 25th in North America.

Soundgarden - Been Away Too Long

New week again, where did the last go?? Enough about that, we jump right into the new and present this week's album, although this one is quite new.

Grunge pioneers Soundgarden surprised a few people when they decided to get back together, but probably surprised many more when they announced they'd be getting off the festival circuit to write and record again. I saw them live at Sweden Rock Festival this summer, they was very good live and the announced about that they were recording a new album, actually felt pretty good back then. Even if the singer Chris Cornell had insisted that reuniting the 90s grunge kings would risk "tarnishing their legacy".

Vinyl Version!!!

However, here they are with their first new album since 1996, "King Animal" sounds surprisingly good, the sound is very, i mean very good, just listen to the tight drums and the anvil-heavy riffs, crunching collisions of punk and hard rock, and psychedelic explorations. My Scepticism for this was pretty high, but the first tunes just waved it off, pretty cool. This album is fresh in all means, it's no "Superunknown" or "Badmotorfinger" but it's highly enjoyable stuff.

Todays tune "Been Away Too Long" is the storming opener of the album with blistering riffs with classic rock and powerfully swing!

Hellsingland Underground - In The Evening

Hellsingland Underground is a Swedish rock band with roots in the blues, folk and classic hard rock that has existed since 2006. They have released three full-length albums with the third "Evil Will Prevail" (2012). They have toured extensively in mostly Sweden and Germany.

The latest album is not an entirely happy album, at least lyrically speaking, but the first feeling you get is a fortunate and happily look. Hellsingland Underground's plays a old school southern-flavored melodic rock, something they do very well.

And note the artwork from Luis Ricardo Falero's The Vision of Faust, depicting Faust's encounter with the world of Satan by vision.

Todays tune "In The Evening" is taken from the latest album "Evil Will Prevail"

This video was shot in Ljusdal/Hälsingland/Sweden on Saturday (evening to late night/early morning), September 15, 2012. No script, no actors, no directions - all documentary. Directed by Maria Söderholm and Charlie Granberg.


They are out on a Swedish tour. In 2013, the band’s first Spanish tour awaits.
