Icarus Witch – Rise 2012

Posted on July 4, 2012 in All Exclusive,Hard Rock by Alex F

On July 3, Cleopatra Records will release the fifth studio record from Pittsburgh, PA-based melodic metallers Icarus Witch. RISE is an epic twelve-track display of songwriting and musicianship from one of the most-watched heavy music bands of the decade.

From the driving, anthemic “(We Are) The New Revolution” to its equally commanding following track “Rise,” Icarus Witch demonstrates impeccable harmonies, head-spinning dual guitar work, and hammering rhythm. Lyrically, the band is digging deep into themes of control (loss of, and taking it back), empowerment (within and without), and faith (and keeping it).

Skarlett Riot – VILLAIN EP 2012

Posted on June 30, 2012 in All Exclusive,Hard Rock,Prog Metal by Alex F

Now!Exclusive!

If you have not come across UK rock band Skarlett Riot yet that will soon change with the release of their new EP Villain on March 19th. Bristling with formidable sounds, confrontational attitude, and a bearing of its fangs, the release is mighty; a deeply gratifying feast of heavy and explosive riffs fuelled by instinctive melodies and barely controlled energy.Villain stomps all over the senses and then goes back to give them another kicking after reviving them with its invigorating charm and infectious sounds.

Formed in 2010 Skarlett Riot has already garnered fine praise and acclaim for their live shows and debut EP. Their sharing of stages with the likes of Taking Dawn, Crashdiet, Glamour of the Kill, Black Spiders, Forever Never, Deaf Havana, and Francesqa and recent successful appearance at the Tramlines Festival set them as a band to watch somethingVillain strongly confirms. With a sound that takes the essences of the likes of Paramore and Halestorm and twists them into a stylish rod of melodic prowess to fuse with the bands aggressive and intense rock n roll, the band are about to make a powerful statement with the EP, an affirmation and declaration of intent and power from one of the best emerging UK bands.

GIN LADY – GIN LADY (2012)

Artist: Gin Lady
Title Of Album: Gin Lady
Countryl: Sweden
Genre: Hard Rock

Total Size: 59mb

Somewhere between endearing nostalgia and eerily sterile earnestness, the self-titled debut by Swedish quintet Gin Lady offers an accurate, yet somewhat stultified impression from the 70s hard rock template. Hefty grooves, catchy melodies, and authentic-sounding restorations of the early 70s sound are all geared to recreate the golden days of Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, and Blue Oyster Cult. But what’s lacking are the prototypes’ virtuosic chops, galvanizing songwriting and the spirit of discovery. Sincere in their fandom, Gin Lady – however – manage to escape the geek tag through good taste and studious candor which turn them from a curious oddity into a valid feature of the revivalist scene currently booming in their home country.
