Δελτίο τύπου: «Lemmy personally blessed Nashville Pussy calling them “America’s last great Rock and Roll band”… and Lemmy should know. Formed in 1997, Nashville Pussy preached its sleazy gospel over the past couple of decades alongside Motörhead in every rock outpost from Asia to Europe and back again.

Their brand new studio album ”Pleased To Eat You” is certainly another milestone recording by the band you’ll need to share with your mom: Bourbon, Bar B Que, horse farms, good people and a great fucking record. Seriously, you hardly find a band that manages to act so easy, so fast and yet so impulsive as Nashville Pussy.

A band that is not shy about expressing opinions loud and clear. Today, Nashville Pussy premiere the official video for “We Want A War”, the first single from their forthcoming studio album ”Pleased To Eat You”. Nashville Pussy are performing on several European festivals this summer before they start their European tour at the beginning of October.»

Neptune - "Dreamer" (video)

I see a tear, a lonely tear
Running down your face, and I know I must have hurt you bad
But don't cry no more, its not for real
Its just imagination, in the longest dream... she's a

Dreamer, dreaming of the past
Shes a dreamer dreaming of the past
Little dreamer she`s a dreamer

And suddenly I see, the sun rising up
A new morning is here, birds singing loud
It touched my heart, and I feel alive again
And with you close to me, a new day is here... she's a

Dreamer, dreaming of the past
Shes a dreamer dreaming of the past
Little dreamer she`s a dreamer

Οι Neptune μας έρχονται από την Σουηδία. Δημιουργήθηκαν (ως Warriens μέχρι το 1980) το 1979 και δραστηριοποιήθηκαν στα 80ies. Τέσσερα demos ο δισκογραφικός τους απολογισμός, ενώ το 1986 ηχογράφησαν στα Sountrade Studios ένα LP, το οποίο δεν κυκλοφόρησε ποτέ.

Προ μηνών (το 2017) επανασυνδέθηκαν και κυκλοφόρησαν δίσκο. Τιτλοφορείται "Land of Northern", περιλαμβάνει όλα τα ηχογραφήματα της Σουηδικής μπάντας και "βγήκε" τον περασμένο χειμώνα (μέσα Φεβρουαρίου).

Πλέον οι Neptune βάζουν πλώρη για δίσκο με καινούριο υλικό. Έχουν ετοιμάσει (και παρουσιάσει) ήδη δύο νέα τραγούδια. Τα πρώτα μετά από τριάντα χρόνια! Το δεύτερο (χρονικά) τιτλοφορείται "Dreamer" και (σύμφωνα με την μπάντα): "Dreamer is a song about different views of the reality"...

Neptune: «Finally time for releasing another new (old) song - Dreamer. This time with a smaller flirt to the 80's and the style of rock videos that was not quite unusual at that time.Would also like to give a big thanks to Janne Stark who played guitar solo on both Dreamer (even in the video this time) and Keep Us Alive (released earlier).»

Moonspell - "Alma Mater" (video)

Band: Moonspell
Country of origin: Portugal
Location: Brandoa, Amadora, Lisbon

Genre: Gothic Metal
Years active: 1989-1992 (as Morbid God), 1992-present

Label: Napalm Records
Format: 3CD, 3 12" vinyls, Digital

Disc 3: "Extinct" show - full album played live

Ricardo Amorim - Guitars, Keyboards
Pedro Paixão - Keyboards, Samples, Programming, Guitars

Guest/Session:
Mariangela Demurtas - Vocals (female) on "Raven Claws"
Carolina Torres - Vocals (female) on "Extinct"

Δελτίο τύπου: «A unique and solemn spell seems to shroud every spot as soon as Portuguese alchemists Moonspell enter the stage - and it was a very special evening indeed when the band played an exceptional show at the Campo Pequeno arena in their hometown Lissabon on February 4th, 2017.

That inimitable bond between the gothic metal act and 4.000 of their fans in the sold-out venue is pure electricity, captured for all eternity on the massive DVD / Blu-ray package Lisboa under the spell. Three discs cover the cult albums Wolfheart, Irreligious and Extinct (all three performed live in full-length!) and in addition boast a very intimate one-hour documentary offering a glimpse behind the scenes.

It was definitely about time, since Moonspell aficionados have been thirsting for a new DVD ever since Lusitanian Metal (2008)! Thus Lisboa under the spell is not simply a visual testimony to the success of Portugal`s biggest metal band - it is a celebration of the unbound creativity and pure magic that is Moonspell.»

Armored Saint - "Live at Dynamo Open Air" (May 15, 1989)

Τον Μάιο του 1989 οι Armored Saint εμφανίσθηκαν για πρώτη φορά στην Ευρώπη μετέχοντας στο Ολλανδικό φεστιβάλ Dynamo Open Air. Η εμφάνιση ξεπέρασε την μία ώρα παρουσιάζοντας δεκατρία τραγούδια (βλ. tracklist παρακάτω) από τους (θρυλικούς) τρεις πρώτους δίσκους της Αμερικάνικης μπάντας. Το κάτωθι βίντεο απεικονίζει ακριβώς τι συνέβη πριν από 29 χρόνια...

Joey Vera: «One of the things that bothered us most about the early part of our career is that our record company (Chrysalis) and our management kept us from touring in Europe, This made absolutely no sense to us as we were influenced mainly by European bands.

Well, in mid 1989 we got a chance to play Europe for the very first time in Holland at the Dynamo Club and the Dynamo Open Air Festival. It was a dream come true for all of us but especially for David Prichard, who had just been diagnosed with Leukemia. Check out this early version of Reign of Fire which we had just written which includes an alternate arrangement.»
