Night Ranger - Breakout

Legendary hard rockers NIGHT RANGER did release their 12th studio album, "ATBPO” on August 6, 2021 via Frontiers Music Srl. "ATBPO" stands for And The Band Played On, an ode to making music during the covid era.

The band began writing the album in early 2020, amid the onset of the global pandemic. After narrowing down the song selection and tightening them up to their well-known rock ‘n roll sound, the band hit the studio, although separately, due to the times we are in. Throughout "ATBPO", we hear NIGHT RANGER continuing their hot streak that kicked off with 2011's "Somewhere In California". Ten years on, and two highly acclaimed albums later, "High Road" and "Don't Let Up", the band's latest studio work shows them still burning with that high octane hard rock energy they are known for. NIGHT RANGER has always had a knack for killer melodies, intricate instrumentation, and captivating lyrics; "ATBPO" delivers all of that and more.

Having sold over 17 million albums worldwide, performed across more than 4000 stages, and enjoyed a radio audience that exceeds 1 billion, NIGHT RANGER has both epitomized and transcended the arena rock sound and style well beyond that era. With multiple songs having a significant impact on popular culture, NIGHT RANGER continues to grow their fanbase. The band is proof that powerful songs alongside incredibly talented musicians is the perfect formula for continued success.

NIGHT RANGER is:

Jack Blades (bass, vocals),

Kelly Keagy (drums, vocals),

Brad Gillis (lead & rhythm guitars),

Eric Levy (keyboards),

and Keri Kelli (lead & rhythm guitars).

"ATBPO" is available on CD, Digital, and the following LP versions:
Red Vinyl - Available Everywhere

Deafheaven - Black Brick

In 2018, Revolver went on the road with DEAFHEAVEN for our two-part documentary "Corrupt Love Across America" last month, they dropped in again, on a few of the West Coast tour dates on their co-headlining run with BARONESS. The group's recently released stand-alone single "Black Brick" — a B-side from their excellent, adventurous fourth album, "Ordinary Corrupt Human Love" — serves as a particularly vicious highlight of DEAFHEAVENs set. In contrast to the heavily shoegaze-inflected atmosphere of many of the quintet's other songs, the nearly eight-minute composition is steeped in classic black-metal grimness and ferocity, both of which are only amplified live onstage. Watch the recent performance to see what we mean.

DEAFHEAVEN are out on a long North American co-headlining tour with BARONESS, and with the avant-garde metal band ZEAL & ARDOR opening. They’ve also got a few dates with GOJIRA and EMPEROR coming up, see all the dates below.

DEAFHEAVEN are from left to right:

Chris Johnson - Bass

Daniel Tracy - Drums

Kerry McCoy - Guitar

George Clarke - Vocals

Shiv Mehra - Guitar

Today's tune "Black Brick", taken from their latest album "Ordinary Corrupt Human Love". While "Ordinary Corrupt Human Love" was lauded for its avant-garde approach, "Black Brick" sees DEAFHEAVEN performing at their heaviest yet.

The Watchers - Black Abyss

Monday, new week, time to introduce "Record Of The Week".

The San Francisco four-piece heavy rock band THE WATCHERS, with members of SPIRALARMS, ORCHID, and BLACK GATES, reaches high with their debut full-length "Black Abyss", We made acquaintance with them already when they released their first EP "Sabbath Highway" (read it here).

"Black Abyss" is a great release, where we get impressing songwriting and tunes with grunge, the eighties inspired heavy rock, melodic riff-based rock with an attitude that is perfectly balanced in the main structure of the tunes. It's well performed without getting too complex, more straightforward approach in a very interesting way to keep it fun to listen to. The production is high, very crisp and ear friendly, would love to get a copy on vinyl to be more precise in my judgment.

"Black Abyss" is an eight-tune long-player that opens up with the title track, a bombastic doom rocker that pays tribute to the mighty BLACK SABBATH. "Alien Lust", melodic riff-laden guitar tune with excellent vocals by Tim Narducci and guitar solos by Jeremy Von Epp and cool bass licks by Cornbread and drumming of Carter Kennedy sticks. "Oklahoma Black Magic" is following the two opening tunes, the vocals is a bit more SABBATH-like but the music is more modern hard rock metal, thrashy riffing, great tune. "Buzzard" follows a more melodic path, modern riffing where vocals have a Layne Staley touch. "Starfire", classic hard rock with a grunge vibe, see it below. "People Of The Gun" where guitarist Jeremy Von Epp plays with all his body and soul. Supurb tune! "Suffer Fool" opens up with acoustic guitar until it turns electric, classical swirl with a light SOUNDGARDEN feeling. "Seven Tenets" closes the record with slow and heavy guitar riffs and a great solo. "Black Abyss" is masterful mixing of Metal Legend Max Norman (Ozzy Osbourne, MEGADETH and more) behind the knobs, "Black Abyss" is a return to the classic metal riffing of yore, soaked in fuzz and dragged head first into the 21st Century. "Black Abyss" was released at March 09th 2018.

Sum: Excellent rock, the 70s meet the 21st, if you dig SPRIALARMS and ORCHID, You will adore THE WATCHERS.

Today's tune "Starfire" is taken from "Black Abyss", enjoy!

Castle - Black Widow

CASTLE is an American heavy rock band. That was forged in San Francisco in 2009 and released their debut full-length, "In Witch Order", on Germany’s Ván Records in 2011. The album brought light to the newly-formed band and earned them “Album Of The Year” honors from Metal Hammer Norway, as well as Roadburn Festival’s “Newcomer Of The Year.” Shortly thereafter, the band joined the Prosthetic Records roster in North America and released their critically-adored sophomore album "Blacklands". The record left to a Canadian JUNO nomination for “Metal/Hard Music Album Of The Year.” CASTLE performed over two-hundred shows worldwide in support of the release alongside the likes of THE SWORD, CONAN, INTRONAUT and PENTAGRAM among many others as well as appearances at some of the underground’s largest fests including Roadburn and the London and Berlin Desertfests.

Since the release of "Under Siege" in 2014, CASTLE, which consists of vocalist/bassist Liz Blackwell, guitarist/vocalist Mat Davis and drummer Al McCartney, has maintained a relentless touring schedule with multiple expeditions throughout the US, Europe and Canada.

Today's tune "Black Widow" is taken from the bands latest album "Welcome To The Graveyard", the album was recorded by Billy Anderson (SLEEP, NEUROSIS, EYEHATEGOD) at Type Foundry Studios in Portland, Oregon. Released by Ván Records, 2016. Video production by Black Arts Studio, 2017.

Zed - Save You From Yourself

Bluesy hard rock to the highest degrees, San Francisco Bay Area's ZED delivers another excellent album.

Great Rock and Roll doesn't just happen. It's made. With sweat, swagger and the swilling of alcohol. And ZED makes rock the way it should be made. Loud guitars, a shot of whiskey and a middle finger. ZED takes it cues from the greats like ZEPPELIN, SABBATH and AC/DC, and mixes them with their other musical influences such as CLUTCH, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE.

ZED independently released their sophomore album Desperation Blues in May of 2013, which garnered critical acclaim as well as charting on CMJ throughout the summer. Supporting the album up and down the west coast, ZED has played consistently through the fall of 2014 when they began focusing on writing their follow up to Desperation Blues, Trouble In Eden, which is also their debut for Ripple Music.

Members:

Greg Lopez – Guitars
Pete Sattari – Guitars/Vocals
Mark Aceves – Bass
Rich Harris – Drums/Percussion

Today's tune "Save You From Yourself " taken from the 3:rd album "Trouble in Eden", Released August 26, 2016

The Afghan Whigs - Algiers

Do to the Beast, the first new album from The Afghan Whigs in 16 years, will be released worldwide via Sub Pop Records on April 14th in Europe and April 15th in North America. The album features the lead single "Algiers."

The Afghan Whigs will perform at the annual Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, CA on Friday April 11th & Friday April 18th. On April 10th the band will headline an official Pre-Coachella show in Pioneertown, CA at Pappy & Harriet's with Brody Dalle as special guest.

The band will also perform a small number of headline shows in April and May in North America in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, Brooklyn, Boston and Baltimore. There will be a special fan pre-sale beginning February 18th, with tickets available to the general public later in the week.

The Afghan Whigs are an American rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio, originally active from 1986 to 2001, who have since reformed. The group – with core members Greg Dulli (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick McCollum (lead guitar), John Curley (bass), and Steve Earle on drums – rose up around the grunge movement, evolving from a garage punk band in the vein of the Replacements, Dinosaur Jr., and Mudhoney to incorporate more soul influences into their sound and image. After releasing their first album independently in 1988, the band signed to the Seattle-based label Sub Pop, before releasing their major-label debut and fourth album, Gentlemen, in 1993. Pitchfork described them as "one of the few alt-bands to flourish on a major label" in the 1990s.

Dulli frequently claimed in interviews that the Afghan Whigs would never get back together following their dissolution in 2001 but the group announced in 2012 that they would reunite for a series of major concerts.
