Gaskin - "Sweet Dream Maker" (audio)

Το ντεμπούτο των Gaskin φέρει τον τίτλο "End of the World". Πρωτοκυκλοφόρησε το 1981 και γνώρισε αρκετές επανεκδόσεις. Η πιο πρόσφατη "βγήκε" τον περασμένο Σεπτέμβριο (βινύλιο από την High Roller Records σε μόλις 500 "κομμάτια")...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Formed in Tokyo in 1981, ANTHEM turned heads with their intense and heated performances. They released their major debut, "Anthem" in 1985 and continued to tour relentlessly. The band's popularity grew with the release of their 2nd album, "Tightrope" (1986), and they were able to break into the American market with their 3rd full length, "Bound To Break" (1987).

Vocalist Eizo Sakamoto left shortly after, and was replaced by Yukio Morikawa for "Gypsy Ways" (1988) and "Hunting Time" (1989), both extremely successful releases which cemented their reputation as leaders of Japanese traditional heavy metal.

Following the release of "No Smoke Without Fire" (1990) and many auditions, ANTHEM found their new guitarist, Akio Shimizu, who was 21 at the time. Impressed with his talent, leader Naoto Shibata decided to finish their next album, "Domestic Booty" (1992) with Shimizu, before disbanding after the release tour.

The band’s return was spurred by 2000’s "Heavy Metal Anthem" - an album of ANTHEM songs rearranged by Naoto and Akio, featuring Graham Bonnet’s vocals. Its release and subsequent Japan tour led to huge demand among fans for an ANTHEM comeback.

Instead of reforming the original lineup, Shibata decided to move forward by writing new music with a new lineup of Akio Shimizu (guitar), Eiji Ohtake (vocals) and Hirotsugu Honma (drums). They released a total of 5 studio albums between 2001 and 2010 - "Seven Hills", "Overload", "Eternal Warrior", "Black Empire" and "Heraldic Device" - proving that ANTHEM was very much an “active” band.

To further strengthen their position at the top of Japan’s metal scene, ANTHEM switched labels for the 2012 release of "Burning Oath" - on which guest musician Isamu Tamaru played drums on all but one song. Though still an official member at the time, a performance-affecting injury that Homma could not fully recover from led to his eventual departure.

At the end of 2013, Naoto recruited Yukio to rejoin the band, and support drummer Isamu became a permanent member to finalize the current lineup of Shibata Naoto (bass), Akio Shimizu (guitar), Yukio Morikawa (vocals) and Isamu Tamaru (drums). Akio Shimizu also works as a producer for other Japanese artists, and has shared the stage with MICHAEL SCHENKER FEST as a guest guitarist on their September 2018 Japan tour.

ANTHEM put out 15th album, "Absolute World" in 2014 and celebrated a successful 30th anniversary tour the following year. From the release of 2016’s "Engraved" to its subsequent nationwide tour, the band found themselves busy on nationwide tours of Japan, proving that ANTHEM to be at an all-time high - all of which was captured for tour documentary "Attitude 2017 -Live and documents-" released in February 2018.

Now in 2018, ANTHEM have signed to Nuclear Blast Records (for the European territory) to break into the worldwide market. The first release will be their greatest hits album, completely re-recorded with English lyrics!

This re-recorded greatest hits, "Nucleus" which includes a variety of their classics is a monumental work, perfectly demonstrating the musical quality of ANTHEM and proving that they can be ranked as a top-notch band even in the international market.»

Kaisas - "Steamin'" (lyric video)

Την Τρίτη 8 Ιανουαρίου συμπληρώθηκαν 28 χρόνια από τον θάνατο του κιθαρίστα των Def Leppard, Steve "Steamin'" Clark. Το συγκρότημα Kaisas συνέθεσαν το τραγούδι "Steamin'" στην μνήμη του. Το κομμάτι θα περιλαμβάνεται στον καινούριο δίσκο της μπάντας του Babis Kaisas ("Martyria") που θα κυκλοφορήσει στα τέλη Φεβρουαρίου.

Οι Kaisas είναι το προσωπικό σχήμα του Θεσσαλονικιού συνθέτη - κιθαρίστα - μπασίστα Babis Kaisas. Του δημιούργησε όταν διαλύθηκε το προηγούμενο συγκρότημα του, οι Zandem. Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει δύο δίσκους ("Unify" - 2011, "Degitalize" - 2014)...

Δελτίο τύπου: «This January 8th, marks the 28th anniversary of the passing of guitarist Steve Clark. Babis Kaisas and his project Kaisas, decided to honor the iconic guitar player, with a song on their new, long awaited album "Martyria" (5 years after the previous "Degitalize"). "Steamin' is the first promo lyric video from the new album, that will be released on 22 February 2019 by Sleaszy Rider Records.»

Babis Kaisas: «Steve was, is, and always will be, a great influence on me, whether I want it or not. Even though I got into Def Leppard in the "Adrenalize" era, when Steve had already passed away, his ghost was present on the album, and I guess it's something that haunted me ever since, as I became a fan, and Leppard defined a lot of my musical taste.

The thought of honoring him (and them), crossed my mind a few times, but the song didn't actually become "Steamin'" till his nickname just jumped in my head while listening over and over to the instrumental piece that it was at the time. It came really naturally. After that, I knew what I had to do. Try and tell Steve's story. From what I've read, seen, heard... God bless you Steve, there's a lot of people that still miss you... »

Δελτίο τύπου: «BURNING RAIN, a hard rock band founded by guitarist extraordinaire Doug Aldrich (REVOLUTION SAINTS, THE DEAD DAISIES, EX-WHITESNAKE, DIO) and vocalist Keith St. John (MONTROSE, KINGDOM COME), are pleased to announce the release of their fourth studio album, Face the Music.

In conjunction with the album announcement, the band have shared the latest single, “Midnight Train,” along with an accompanying music video. When asked why the band chose to release “Midnight Train” as the first single, Aldrich explained, “when we were asked what song encompasses the sound of BURNING RAIN, ‘Midnight Train’ seemed like a good choice. It sounds fresh and heavy, but still sounds like us. Everyone will have different ideas about favorite songs and there are a number of tracks that could have been first, but we just went with ‘Midnight Train.’”

“’Midnight Train's' message, albeit fully ensconced in carnality, is about wanting something so brutally bad when you can't have it,” added St. John. “The main character here is basically a deeply tortured soul during all the daytime hours. The phallic likening to the train and its track along with the blackness, the bed of nails, and the cravings of the night are meant to further fortify the extremity of sexual addiction. Doug had all the basic music together including bass, drums, and all when he first played me a demo of the riff. I loved it immediately. The first ex-perimental vocal track I scatted out had the basic framework for the chorus, which we both felt had good potential, but the original verse began with a higher, bluesier part that seemed to not quite fit. After I fashioned a new verse with a lower, more growly approach, we both felt it really complimented the chorus and we knew this track was in good standing!”

BURNING RAIN was established in 1998 by guitarist Doug Aldrich and vocalist Keith St. John. After meeting through mutual friends, Aldrich and St. John commenced work on what would eventually become their self-titled debut album. The 1999 record established BURNING RAIN as a hungry yet seasoned group of musicians. Although the album was limited in its release, it did receive rave reviews from fans and critics alike for their take on heavy, blues-y hard rock. The following year, BURNING RAIN released the follow up, “Pleasure To Burn” which showed a matured Aldrich-St John collaboration that gained even higher praise than the first album.

In 2001, Aldrich joined DIO and later departed in 2003 as he was approached by David Coverdale to join a newly reformed Whitesnake, while St. John joined forces with guitar legend Ronnie Montrose. While still in Whitesnake, Aldrich started working on new BURNING RAIN music, which saw the light of day in 2013 as the album “Epic Obsession”. Their third release was again met with enthu-siams from fans and critics alike. Aldrich would later leave Whitesnake and join The Dead Daisies and Revolution Saints, which left BURNING RAIN on an extended hiatus.

Now, finally a new album is ready for release! Face the Music is a blues driven hard rock record which is truly a tour-de-force. With a renewed lineup featuring the amazing Blas Elias (SLAUGHTER) on drums and bassist Brad Lang (Y&T), the album evokes the sound of the classic 70’s hard rock scene, but also stays true to the Burning Rain sound. One thing is for certain, BURNING RAIN has made the wait for new music well worth it.»
