TEMPELHEKS is an occult doom rock experience from Oslo, Norway. This Oslo four-piece band have inked a deal with Cursed Tongue Records for the release of their third album "Midnight Mirror", got released in August this year.
When you put a spin on TEMPELHEKS you can feel the vibes right out of some classic doom bands such as SAINT VITUS and TROUBLE.
"Midnight Mirror" has been recorded in the renowned Cederberg studio in Kristiansand, Norway. Here they were accompanied by producer, friend, ex-label-head and vocalist of DUNBARROW Espen Andersen. The sessions were done live and fast which gave little room for pickiness, over-thinking or compromise.
From the creator of BEASTMAKER comes the thunder and lightning to HAUNT the nation.
The Fresno based heavy metal band HAUNT has released their highly anticipated debut album, "Burst Into Flame" on Shadow Kingdom Records.
Hailing from the United States, HAUNT began as the work of modern renaissance man Trevor William Church. SON OF MONTROSE / Sammy Hagar solo bassist Bill "The Electric" Church, the California native came to prominence as the vocalist/guitarist of doom-lords BEASTMAKER, who've released two critically acclaimed albums on Rise Above. However, as HAUNT, Church went solo and created a bewitching brew of classic, turn-of-the-'80s heavy metal, drawing deeply from the momentous NWOBHM movement.
He proved just how proficient and powerful his vision is with HAUNT's 2017 debut EP, "Luminous Eyes", which was originally self-released but then picked up for a physical release by Shadow Kingdom not long after. In between releases, Church has expanded the lineup to include fellow BEASTMAKER guitarist John William Tucker and the rhythm section of bassist Matthew Wilhoit and drummer Daniel Wilson.
You will "Burst Into Flame" when you put the new album on a spin, traditional heavy metal at it's best.
Today's tune is the title tune from the latest album "Burst Into Flame". The Video is filmed live at Church of the 8th Day & Spaceland @ The Echoplex, Los Angeles, CA. 4-16-2018. Enjoy!
The Swedish progressive metal legends OPETH have released "Garden of the Titans: Live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre" on November 2nd via Moderbolaget Records / Nuclear Blast Entertainment. This historic event was captured for the DVD, Blu-Ray and Vinyl formats during their performance May 11th, 2017 at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver, CO. Both the DVD and Blu-ray formats include CDs containing the audio as well.
Video footage for "Garden of the Titans" was overseen by The Deka Brothers (CARPENTER BRUT, THE PRODIGY) and audio was mixed by David Castillo (KATATONIA, BLOODBATH). All versions feature the masterful artwork of revered artist Travis Smith (NEVERMORE, KATATONIA, TESTAMENT).
Always an unstoppable force for uniqueness amid a sea of generic swill, OPETH has been setting the rulebook ablaze, and ploughing a uniquely progressive and exploratory furrow for over 25 years now. Neither conforming nor exhibiting any desire to be restricted to a single genre, OPETH, quite simply, has a time honored tradition of blowing our minds with both class and forward thinking. All these years later, nothing and everything has changed once again with their most recent album, "Sorceress".
"Sorceress" was released in September 2016. For the band's first effort for Nuclear Blast via OPETH's imprint label Moderbolaget Records, the group returned to Rockfield Studios in Wales, also home to pivotal releases from QUEEN, RUSH and JUDAS PRIEST, where the Swedes had tracked "Pale Communion" in 2014 with Tom Dalgety.
Today's tune "Demon of the Fall" taken from the new live album, originally released on third full-length studio album "My Arms, Your Hearse", released August 1998, enjoy!
"Anthem of the Peaceful Army" is the debut studio album by American rock band GRETA VAN FLEET. The album was released on October 19, 2018, recorded at Blackbird Studios, Nashville, Tennessee and follows the band's original two EP releases, "Black Smoke Rising" and "From the Fires".
The two first EPs has been spinning a lot in my home, work, car, I do like what I hear. That the band have a big influence from LED ZEPPELIN can be heard on every single tune, bit's and pieces here and there, vocals, solos, clothes, lyrics that they almost would be a carbon copy of ZEPPELIN, but with their own way of doing it and with the new album "Anthem of the Peaceful Army", they begun to shift away from LED ZEPPELIN. Although this sounds a lot of ZEPPELIN, so be it. Some may think they've crossed the border, creating songs on ZEPPELIN, so be it. The fact that ZEPPELIN borrowed a lot from old heroes, even if things were snitched right of the table to create something to their own, that was ok, then this should also be ok as well. As I have ZEPPELIN as my musical-gods, I think it's with great fun when others try to create the same feeling they had even if it sounds similar, there are many examples of bands that have borrowed the sound of ZEPPELIN.
"Anthem of the Peaceful Army" is an Absolutely superb album! The album has many great tunes from the beautiful and grand half paced opener "Age Of Man", followed by the rocker "The Cold Wind" and the uptempo single "When The Curtain Falls". "Watching Over", have a classic hard rock touch, slow with tasty guitar licks. "Lover, Leaver" is another uptempo piece with a great feeling to the past to the more acoustic guitars driven tunes "You're The One" and "The New Day", the first one with a country feeling and the second with a blues one. More blues rock in "Mountain Of The Sun", with catchy guitar licks and powerful vocals to a more darker turn in "Brave New World", mournful guitars riffs and grievous vocals. The album closes "Anthem", a loveful ballad that touches your soul. That fantastic vocal, great guitar playing, tight rhythm section and the ZEPPELIN vide carry this album by these youngsters that overall kicking the mainstream ass with a pure rock album.
Sum: A Peaceful Army is a classic rocker that you shouldn't miss!
Today's tune "Lover, Leaver (Taker, Believer)" live from the John Anson Ford Theater in Los Angeles on June 24, 2018. Enjoy!
