Frontiers updates on upcoming releases along with sample clips

TOTO

Frontiers Records is pleased to unveil the first music sample taken from “Bottom Of Your Soul,” the first single from the upcoming TOTO album, “Falling In Between.”

The song, in the words of the band’s keyboard player David Paich, is a “prayer for peace” lyrically inspired from the tragedy of the Sudan civil war victims. Paich explains: “The song started out from a 6/8 african groove I had in mind with Simon Phillips, and Steve Lukather later came up with the chorus chords.”

Featured on lead vocals during the chorus is former TOTO singer Joseph Williams, together with two other very special guests Jason Scheff (CHICAGO) and L.Shankar (PETER GABRIEL). Percussion work is courtesy of Simon Phillips and Lenny Castro.

Enjoy the 1 minute mp3 sample at the following link!

“Bottom of Your Soul” will be launched on all European radios in the first half of January 2005.

Info: at www.colossaal.de or mail to tickets@oliverhartmann.com until Dec 20th

GREEN

Following the good critical acclaim that blessed the release of the new album, GREEN’s guitar player and singer Fabrizio Pieraccini gives an insight on “When Love And Soul”:
“Receive Me” – The opening track clearly sets the new course of the Green sound.  A huge riff made by almost “NU metal” guitars interacting with sampled drum grooves, opens what can be defined a modern rock song with an unforgettable chorus and a breathtaking final guitar solo.
“ ;Fight for Truth” – A powerful mid-tempo. Changes the mood of the record towards a modern sounding power rock, with strong lyrics, a fantastic bridge and some serious guitar playing going on.
“Do it Now” – Melody was dominant in our previous record “Life”. With this song goes up to a higher level with a refined arrangement of strings. The verse looks for a more intimate musical dimension while the chorus is full of energy, the lead voice is both harmonic and captivating. Definitely the softest song in the album.
“Hate Me” – The seventies hard rock background of the band emerges here. Mostly inspired by The Who, this songs features a cutting guitar riff which plays with a dynamic bass line and is supported by a very Purplish Hammond organ sound. The 7/8 rhythm in the middle of the song brings out some Rush influence with a virtuoso-style guitar solo.
“There’s No Wind” – The verse is in  5/4 with acoustic guitars and strings; this takes you to the elegant and relaxing chorus which explodes in a strong finale.
“Freedom ” – Again a strings melody is supported by two guitars playing in harmony. Luscious vocal exercise and self-conscious lyrics emerge later in a typical rock’n'roll fashion.
“No Return Journey” – An intense and peculiar moment of the record. Listen to this song keeping a close eye to the lyrics and allow the ethereal keyboard atmospheres win you over.
“Baby Tell Me Why” – Again Marshall and Hammond here, but this hard rock song goes beyond classic 70’s Hard Rock adding a modern sounds and melodic effects.
“One Day” – A celestial atmosphere is introduced by the piano; the vocals have a big feeling here and the guitar scratches and comes out in an exciting solo with an atmosphere similar to the one in Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb”.
“Of Love And Soul” – The title track: the ultimate manifesto of the new Green sound. It’s und oubtedly a progressive tune: a 9/8 riff followed by a complex verse like Yes; when you think everything is set then… you get a metal oriented keyboards fugue chasing guitars and vice versa; a kaleidoscopic progressive whirlwind a là Dream Theatre, but not so complicated. Emotions build up in a breathless crescendo ending with the two guitarists playing some pretty impressive solos.

Frontiers Records release LANA LANE’s brand new CD/DVD package celebrating her first 10 years of recording!

After 10 years of recording CDs, LANA LANE proudly releases her “10th Anniversary Concert” DVD containing the full concert from her final show in Tokyo on the LANA LANE 10th Anniversary Tour. Recorded on June 30, 2005, The 2-hour dual layer “DVD-9″ disc contains all 19 songs from the concert along with a Video Tour Diary containing candid “behind-the-scenes” footage of the entire tour from Europe to the USA to Japan. Both stereo and the wonderful sounding DTS 5.1 surround audio tracks are offered. The DVD will be released worldwide in NTSC format in Region 0, to ensure maximum compatibility.

The 10th Anniversary Concert package also includes a bonus 78:54 audio CD that contains most of the concert. Due to the space limitations of the CD medium, the songs “Astrology Prelude” and “Secrets of Astrology” were cut from the audio CD. Producer Erik Norlander explains in the booklet’s liner notes that he and Lana made this decision since live versions of these two songs already appear on the “Return to Japan” CD released in 2004

The “10th Anniversary Concert” is the perfect companion to Lana’s “Storybook” DVD released in 2004 which was more of a documentary release. Since the “10th Anniversary Concert” contains one complete concert performance, the two DVDs go hand in hand with no redundancy. Lana and husband / producer Erik Norlander chose the 10th Anniversary Tour set list carefully to add many new songs never before played live. With stellar vocal and musical performances along with brilliant visuals and production, this title is a must – have release for all fans of LANA LANE !

Mr. Green saves the Rock n’ Roll World

Explosive  new  rock  band  Mr. Green  is  taking  on  the  so  called  rock  music  of  today  with  some  old  school  talent. With  searing  guitar  riffs,  melodic,  soulful,  and  gut  wrenching  vocals,  along  with  an  incredibly  solid  rhythm  section,  this  band  is  dedicated  to  bringing  back  rock  and  roll  from  the  dead. The  band  is  made  up  of  5  veteran  musicians who  know  the  meaning  of  arena  rock. “So  many  people  have  been  waiting  for  the  revival  of  the  great  rock  and  roll  era  to  return. With  the  emergence  of  the  super-group  Velvet  Revolver’s  recent  success,  now  is  the  time  to  give  the  people  what  they  want. There  are  a lot  of  talented  groups  out  there  today,  but  there  is  also  more  to  rock  music  than  3  chords  and  someone  screaming  about  how  they  hate  their  parents” says  vocalist  Jason  Brauner.

“There  is  a  missing  void  for  rock  fans  and  we  intend  to  fill  it”  said  drummer  Anthony  Riso.  Along  with  guitarists  Dave  Saker,  Jon  Stadelhofer,  and  bassist  Tim  Sanders,  Mr.  Green  is  on  a  mission  to  save  rock  and  roll. 

The  band’s  debut  CD  release  titled “Draggin’  Me  Under”  has  received  great  acceptance  in  the  Northern  California  club  scene  and  is  soon  to  be  released  nationally  as  well  as  in Europe.  San  Francisco’s  most  well  known  rock  station  107.7  The  Bone  will  begin  airing  select  tracks  in  early  December,  2005.  The  band’s  live  show  will  without  a  doubt  remind  you  of  why  you  still  love  rock  and  roll. 

You  can  still  catch  this  not  to  be  missed  act  at  select  California  festivals  and  clubs  before  they start  their  2006  summer  tour  to  support  the  new  cd.

Jeff Martin signs with KOCH

KOCH Entertainment, a division of Entertainment One Limited Partnership, and the leading independent distributor in Canada, announced today it has finalized a joint venture agreement with Nevada Entertainment to release the debut album from ex-Tea Party singer/guitarist/producer Jeff Martin.

The joint venture will be the first of several possible deals from the two companies in 2006. Jeff Burns, President of Nevada Entertainment says, “Being an active, growing label with a Top 30 CHR hit with Rosette and future chart action from Bianca on the radio, there are few companies in Canada to rival the breadth of experience, retail partners or ability to sell records than KOCH. Jeff Martin and his manager, Michael Lee Jackson, had offers from several major record labels, but wanted a little bit more of a commitment from them. Bringing KOCH into this enables us to maximize the potential for Jeff’s amazing record.”

Exile And The Kingdom will be released in March, 2006 with a tour across Canada to follow. The first single, yet announced, will be serviced to radio for February.

In an exclusive interview with Karen Bliss from Jam Canoe, Jeff Martin says the time was right for Exile And The Kingdom “(The Tea Party) has been an amazing output of work, but, at the same time, I just felt that it came time for a change, a different lifestyle. I wanted time to spend much more time with my new family, my little one, and also I felt confident that everything was said with The Tea Party, and what needed to be said now, as far as my artistry was concerned, I really needed to distill my vision into something that was more personal.”

“Exile” was primarily written at Jeff’s “holiday house” in Ireland, but also had recordings completed in Canada and Australia. KOCH Entertainment President Dominique Zgarka says, “this record was pretty much recorded everywhere Jeff was at the time. Tea Party fans are going to love this record, and we feel with his musical direction, Jeff is going to pick up new fans along the way.”

This first batch of Martin solo songs bears the same markings of greatness as do the songs he penned and then lovingly recorded with his friends Jeff Burrows and Stuart Chatwood, as the Tea Party. But there’s something more here, and we’ll go out on a limb and suggest that what we’re in fact witnessing is the full flourishing of Martin’s talents as both writer and storyteller, as a messenger of the muse.

Recorded by Martin alone, in his home studio, the demos for “Exile” are “basement tapes” in only the positive sense; what we have here are fully-actualized songs, with arrangements of ample flesh, conceptions of harmonic density, and performances – with Martin, not surprisingly, weighing in on an exotic showroom’s worth of instruments – of startling depth and abundant conviction. Some of these demos are so intimate and gripping, they may well end up on “Exile” untouched.

Deep Celtic folk meets and melds with Eastern tonalities on “Angel Dust”; Elizabethan strains are funneled through a modernist, Jeff Buckley-like grandeur on a simply breathtaking interpretation of David Crosby’s “Guinivere”; a child is lovingly embraced in the generous spirit of “Day Star,” as rich, open-tuned acoustic guitars recall Bert Jansch, while supporting a near-transcendent melody; “Black Snake Blues” imagines Nick Drake on a back porch in the Mississippi delta; again, the open tunings which resound throughout the tracks “Toy Balloon” and “Scherazade,” are filled with possibility

Suncity Records prepare 2 new releases

It’s been awhile but Suncity Records are back with two new releases – both out December 5. The first title is the archive sequal release from Blue Tears, titled Dancin’ On The Back Streets. It is the second CD of unreleased material from the band this year.

The second release is Swingin’ Thing – Keep On Swingin’. This release is just about as good as it gets for Sleaze/Hard Rock, straight from the Sunset Strip, many believe that Swingin’ Thing were the most unlucky band of that era not to be signed to a major label.
The CDs both comes with great artwork and unseen pictures and lyrics.

Shots Fired at Poison Lead Singer Bret Michaels

Press Release / (Los Angeles, Calif.) – Poison lead singer Bret Michaels will remain on tour despite being the target of a drive-by shooting last night, November 21, in Chicopee, Massachusetts.

The multi-platinum artist was in town to perform a rare, invitation-only acoustic show, when, prior to the show, shots were fired from a white Ford F-150 while Michaels was still on the tour bus, according to witnesses. Michaels was struck in the face by flying broken glass, but escaped serious injury.

Michaels issued the following statement immediately following the incident. “It is going to take more then a cowardice act like this to make me stop performing or stop my tour. I plan on staying out and finishing the shows as scheduled. I want to thank all of my fans in the Chicopee area for staying out last night, and I will be back. Hopefully, with the help of many people, we will catch the person who did this and they will be brought to justice.”

Local police do not feel this was a random drive-by shooting due to the shots being fired directly into the living quarters at the rear of the tour bus. Shell casings from the weapon have not been recovered from the scene at this point. Further information will be released as it becomes available.

Chicopee police officers Phil Russ and David Gagnon immediately secured the scene, closed down the street and began interviewing witnesses, including ABC News cameraman John Ticard, who had just arrived to cover the event. Mr. Ticard stated, “I heard a loud bang and then glass shattering. I thought it was a car accident at first, but as I approached the bus I realized that it wasn’t an accident, someone had shot at Mr. Michaels’ bus, and it was the glass of the window shattering.”

A reward has been announced for any information leading to the arrest of the person or persons involved in the abovementioned incident. Information can be given directly to the Chicopee Police Department at 413-592-6341, or tips can be submitted via Michaels’ website, www.bretmichaels.com.

According to Michaels’ management office, HK Management in Los Angeles, this is not the first police or federal investigation that Michaels has been at the center of. Throughout his career, Michaels has been the target of numerous death threats investigated by the FBI.

A person identifying himself as Mark Kram fired 9 mm bullets through photos of Michaels and mailed them, along with threatening notes to several arenas in which Michaels was scheduled to perform. Investigators believe the suspect in that particular case lives in the Northeastern United States. The police were also called to investigate when a tire came off of the truck that Michaels was driving after attending a concert in California. In that case, someone had loosened the lug nuts on the vehicle, causing Michaels to wreck in the middle of a busy freeway following the event.

Watch Them Die – Vocalist Pat Vigil

November 22nd, 2005
by Lord of the Wasteland

Interview With Vocalist Pat Vigil

Interview By Lord of The Wasteland

All photos courtesy of Century Media Records and Watch Them Die


Watch Them Die’s new CD, BASTARD SON, hit me like a ton of bricks upon first listen.  Not only is the Oakland-based band pulverizing in its intensity and outright brutality, but the thrash-influenced riffs of Greg Valencia and ferocious vocals of Pat Vigil tore me a new one.  With every other new CD released these days seeming to be a metalcore hackfest, it was refreshing to hear an American band flip off the norm and go right for the jugular.

Pat Vigil took the time to answer a few questions about the new album, their just-completed tour with Exodus and 3 Inches of Blood, being on the road with GWAR and how the combination of Black Metal, punk, hardcore and Bay Area thrash bands shaped the ass-kicking sound of Watch Them Die…

Candlemass / Destruction : The 14th of November 2005 Helsinki Finland

CANDLEMASS / DESTRUCTION
(DeathChain and After All)
The 14th Of November 2005
Nosturi, Helsinki
Finland

Pics and review by Arto Lehtinen

What a real old school metal line up indeed, featuring the legends of two separate metal genres namely Destruction and Candlemass. Frankly it was utterly amazing to have that kind of line up booked here in Finland even for two gigs. But once again some unexpected problems came out of the blue due to the gods of weather.

RUSSELL ALLEN

 

Here is a short interview that I’ve done with Russell Allen. He, together with Jorn Lande, has recently released the album THE BATTLE on Frontiers Records and I was interested in what two singers of such an excellent caliber had to offer the listener. So here’s what Russell had to say about the album and he was also kind enough to reveal what he’s up to in the near future.

Big thanks to Stefan at Atenzia for arranging the interview.
