South Carolina Progressive Metal quartet BEHIND THE SUN will release the Post Solis EP on March 10. The album was recorded in Winston-Salem, NC with acclaimed producer Jamie King (BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME).
The musicality contained herein is defined by a whole that is greater
than the sum of the parts. Indeed, were it not for the fact that BEHIND THE SUN
has existed barely three years, one might be inclined to believe that
the penetrating compositional might and impressive musicianship on
display is the work of a veteran group with a decade's worth of material
to its name. And yet the band's approach is a deceptively simple one:
"a 4-man group working to create our own blend of metal from the music
we love." Talent and a passion for one's art more often than not leads
to great achievement: the case in point is BEHIND THE SUN.
RIYL: OPETH, MASTODON, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, and GOJIRA.

7HY (Seven Hard Years) are excited to announce that they will release the CD version of Stories We Tell
on March 3rd 2017. The album is a tour-de-force of hard
rock/traditional metal that features Alan Kelly of Shy and Shawn Pelata
of Final Sign.
About 7HY:
7hy is a band with a sterling pedigree and unchallengeable history in
rock. The band’s accomplishments speak for themselves and need not be
recalled here.
Seven Hard Years, or 7HY if you like, is the brainchild of ex-Shy
drummer Alan Kelly and while he draws upon his experience from being a
part of Shy and a part of the now legendary 80s music industry, 7HY is
no mere Shy clone.
Expanding upon his capabilities as a songwriter (Kelly penned lyrics
for several Shy classics), Alan took to the guitar and keyboards and set
about finding his own path. Once he had songs in hand, he made contact
with then Line of Fire vocalist Shawn Pelata to set about making the
debut 7HY album.
Alan handled the bulk of the instrumentation himself while calling upon
Dave Martin (ex-Marshall Law) for some guitar solos and his former Shy
bandmate Roy Davis for some additional bass work. Martin Walls and
Alan's wife Claire also contributed bass tracks while Alan's son Eliot
contributed solo work as well. The resulting album, 'No Place in Heaven'
released on Davis' Lynchburg Music in 2014, was well-received across
the globe amongst rock fans and established the act as a melodic force
to be reckoned with.
Alan was not about to stop there. Once release details were sorted for
the debut, Alan and Shawn set about preparing the next release. Armed
with 12 brand new songs, the duo wanted to do all they could to top the
debut. It appears they have risen to the challenge. 'Stories We Tell' is
packed with more energy, more melody, more intense performances, and
will no doubt squelch the sophomore jinx.
Songs such as "Break the Spell", "Don't Believe a Word", "Driving Me
Crazy" and "I'll Survive" showcase the palpable chemistry between Alan's
musical muse and Shawn's vocal prowess. The vocals carry the melodies
and hooks with intensity and swagger. 'Stories We Tell' is certainly a
jewel in the crown for these two veteran artists.
Once again featuring contributions from Dave Martin and Eliot Kelly, as
well as Calle Hammer (Houston), Pete Fry (Farcry) and Danny Beardsley
(Emperor Chung), and his brother Paul Kelly, the guitar solos on
'Stories We Tell' are scorching! Bass duties were split between Alan
himself, Martin Walls, and Dave Martin's Marshall Law cohort Tom Dwyer.
Packed with undeniable hooks, deft solos, massive vocal melodies and a
stunning hard rock punch, 'Stories We Tell' will no doubt please rock
fans across the world and further solidify Alan's songwriting ability
amongst his peers.

AVENGER, is written as it was a real, nowadays "NERD" Secret Diry,
telling all the struggling battles a Geek has to Challenge in everyday
Life, not forgetting to quote some typical "clue" like 80's Videogames
(Title Track is dedicated to the Lucas Art Masterpiece "THE CURSE OF
MONKEY ISLAND"), Superheroes Movies or Tv Series like "THE DOCTOR WHO".
Their first Album saw participations of Great Musicians like ROLAND

Fast speed, danger and dancing "slow dances" to Bon Jovi; rewarded with tobacco and beer - Serpico release new single and music video for "Ain't Better To Leave"
Finnish Hard Rock group Serpico have released a new single and music video for their track "Ain't Better To Leave"
The
music video reminisces the bygone era when music videos were viewed
from VHS tapes recorded on by older relatives that had cable TV, and
when heavy rock grew in popularity amongst the youth culture yet was
disproved by older generations.
The video was inspired by
the band's previous visit to the U.K. Serprico wasn't that organized
with their tour planning and found themselves in a strange city without a
place to sleep. After several twists and turns they found themselves in
the company of local suburban-princesses. They had to sway intimately
to Bon Jovi songs in exchange for accommodation, beer and cigarettes. Of
course in the video you cant see any swaying to Bon Jovi songs and it
doesn't make any reference to that previous story. But it was a trip to
be remembered!
Life can be disappointing and difficult. Music is an avenue by which man can find hope again. Mawcore does just that. From the Hebrew word, meaning “Wellspring”, Mawcore taps into the central line of the hopeless, with a continual supply of hope and life, through faith-based lyrics and a mended-heart filled message. It is a Modern Hard Alt. Rock band pulling in core elements of grinding guitars, pulsing bass, pounding drums, layered electronica sounds and soring vocals. It draws upon musical influences from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and carries into the present day, stretching and barreling onward towards eternity.
Mawcore was formed from the ashes of the former internationally distributed band, Blushing Well, who shared their music with thousands all around the world. They shared the stage with Skillet, Red, Disciple, Seventh Day Slumber, Jeremy Camp, Pillar and countless others. Their music was distributed internationally through Nightmare Records and played by radio stations in The Philippines, Yugoslavia, Norway, Germany, Mexico, Brazil, Italy and the United States.
Although the past had crumbled, the three remaining members Joshua, Jeremy and Jeff found themselves with wounds being healed by the music within their core. Being joined by a variety of other musicians and eventually now permanent guitarist Ben, the programming talents of Chris, and the drumming skills of Paul, they crafted a sound uniquely their own. Each member brings their own reason to keep them going: Jeremy: “For me, life without music is no life at all. I breathe it. I live it. Being in Mawcore is an amplifier for the music in my head”; Ben: “Music has shown me that there is a way to overcome fears and insecurities. When faith is tested, there is strength to be found in music with a message”; Jeff: “There is new life when the musician gets to share the journey with his offspring. The journey grows deeper and the passion more fervent when you are fighting for the life of others”; Joshua “If you cut me, I bleed music! This is such a deep part of my healing and knowing that we are sharing this healing with others, has made it all the more intense”; Chris: “The things that once made me feel undone and hurt, I now use to embrace others in their healing. This new journey has played a part in helping me believe that there is always hope and redemption”; Paul: "Music has been a constant in my life. It's one of the few ways I can express myself without limitation. However, God's glory is the chief end!". These passionate members are fueling the forward motion that is Mawcore!
Mawcore brings forth their Modern Hard Alternative Rock that blends
grinding guitars, pounding drums, pulsing bass, soaring synths and
Melodic Vocals into one full body rock experience.
"Where Breaking Begins" is the first of 3 EP's that take the listener on
a journey from failure to freedom.
My Own Ghost, a rock band from Luxembourg and the Finnish record label Secret Entertainment continue their cooperation. The second album named "Life On Standby" is released April 7th 2017. The album is produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa (HIM, Apocalyptica, Amorphis, etc..) and mastered by Svante Forsbäck (Rammstein, Sunrise Avenue, Bullet For My Valentine, etc.)
Their critically acclaimed debut album "Love Kills" was released in 2014 also by Secret Entertainment.
The band just released a music video from the album and it can be seen here:
The band comments the single, music video and tour:
"'Life
On Standby' tells the story of quite a lot of people, who spend their
life looking at life passing them by, but not living life to the
fullest. Sometimes they try to break out, but that seems to get harder
and harder the older they get and the more they get caught in everyday
life.
The
videoclip for 'Life On Standby' shows us a man, who's lost all and
every connection to reality, and who, little by little breaks out ,
which, in this case, is quite a painful process.
We're really happy that we found in Francis Majerus
an actor who's able to transmit all these conflicting emotions and who
was ready to engage himself fully into the storyline. Also, big thanks
go out to Scumcrow Productions, who've done an amazing job.
My
Own Ghost will embark on their 3rd UK Tour in order to promote the
release of the first single from the new album. 'Life On Standby' will
be presented to English audiences live on 4 dates.
This stint in the UK will be followed quickly by a return to Manchester and London as main support for Finnish singer Tarja Turunen
on her Shadow Shows 2017. The tour will comprise 6 more dates in the
Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany and Switzerland. It is a great honour
for My Own Ghost to support the former Nightwish singer on her tour.
What
makes it even more special is that, after having found a home at Secret
Entertainment and having Hiili Hiilesmaa and Svante Forsbäck working on
the new album, touring with Tarja strengthens their ties with Finland
and really makes it their second home."

Finnish
metal band Achiote to release their second album 'Loneliness of Endless
Days' - a painful work of grief followed by a severe illness of a band
member, death wish and helplessness. Check out the new music video yet
filled with a dash of hope – It's a Trap!
V.R.
Label Finland proudly presents Achiote's new upcoming second album. The
album is all about sadness and leaving things behind - the original
female bass player-singer Anu has been forced to leave the band due to
an illness caused by a typical Finnish household mold problem. Divorces
and drifting apart have forced the reformed band 'to deconstruct their
obstacles into an emonationally strong and diversely fascinating metal.'
(M.Meriläinen, Soundi 2017)
Achiote
is a Finnish metal band combining melodic heavy and soulful 90's rock
spiced up with northern romanticism. The debut album 'Deimos' was very
well received in sincere praises by both critics and fans. The band is
on the road with the following shows and more to be announced:
10.2. Baari, Turku, Finland
24.2. Bar Loose, Helsinki, Finland
25.2. Fubar Rock Club, Tallinn, Estonia
21.4. Bar 15, Seinäjoki, Finland
The band's comments on the album:
'The
'hard second album' was indeed hard this time! Making the music was
almost easy, but other parts of life seemed to drive a few of us insane
while making this album. Divorces, drifting apart and longing have led
the band to fight the evil and suffering with their music and art all
bristled up. With this album we say our farewells to what we so deeply
loved.'

We
live in a world where everything, including music, is itemized and made
into a genre (indeed the sub-genres grow daily!). Yet rock is all about
rebellion plus rejecting norms and Hamilton, ON’s marvelous award
nominated RADIO FREE UNIVERSE are very much their own creation. In vocalist George Panagopoulos’ words, they are “genuine, honest, heavy, sonic…liberating.”
Panagopoulos explains liberty is a big part of the inspiration behind RADIO FREE UNIVERSE’s unique name.
“It
is inspired by Radio Free Europe, which began as part of the resistance
against tyranny in World War 2. Now its journalists report the news in
23 countries where a free press is banned by the government or not fully
established. We apply this to our music. Trying to break free of the
chains of genres and just focusing on the song and serving it."
RADIO FREE UNIVERSE’s debut album ‘Casa Del Diablo’ is set for release on March 17th, 2017 via Jet Pack Records
and features twelve infectious rocking tunes. The album was mixed and
mastered by Glen Robinson (Voivod, Gwar) along with him producing
tracks American Gun, Disclosure, 18 Wheels and Six with the rest of the
release produced by RFU vocalist George Panagopoulos and Mark McMaster.
Their new single ‘Disclosure’ is hitting radio across Canada and is now available exclusively for FREE download via PureGrainAudio.com.

The eagerly awaited debut album from Burnt Out Wreck featuring
ex-Heavy Pettin’s Gary Moat is now available! “Swallow” is a huge slice
of full on, punchy classic hard rock with guitar riffs galore! Released
via Cherry Red Records, this album is every bit as good as you would
expect from one of Scotland’s original rock n rollers, Gary Moat!
Says Gary, “I went in to the studio to record a set of songs.
Before I knew it, ‘Swallow’ had been created, and now here it is. I
thoroughly enjoyed being in the studio but it was never my intention to
become a recording artist again but here I am. It is crazy but I’m
loving it. The album is a culmination of all my influences. It has been
30 years in the making and it seems it’s being received very well
everywhere…which is fantastic.”
Gary has a colorful history as the drummer and main songwriter for
metal legends Heavy Pettin’. The band were signed to Polydor and Warner
Chappell in 1983 with help from Def Leppard’s manager Peter Mensch. They
toured extensively until 1988 with Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake,
Ratt, Motley Crue, Saxon, Accept and Magnum amongst others, as well as
headlining their own tours. They recorded three albums with different
producers: Brian May, Mark Dearnley and Adrian Lee/Tony Taverner. Heavy
Pettin’ also played the likes of Reading Festival, Loreley and other
major festivals, as well as recording The Friday Rock Show for Tommy
Vance & Tony Wilson.
Gary created Burnt Out Wreck in the summer of 2016. After penning
songs for an album, he ventured into the studio under the watchful eye
of acclaimed sound engineer Steve Rispin (Asia), and with Gary’s
determination to create good time classic rock, “Swallow” began to take
shape. For Burnt Out Wreck, Gary has traded the drum stool for the
microphone. He has his own imitable style, and is frequently compared to
Bon Scott and Marc Storace.
Burnt Out Wreck’s “Swallow” is co-produced by Gary Moat and Steve
Rispin (Asia, Inglorious), mastered by Pete Maher (U2, The Killers, Jack
White, Rolling Stones etc). Watch Burnt Out Wreck’s “Swallow” video: https://youtu.be/rX_BZmd7LSI
(The video was created by Mark Leary at ASYLUMseventy7) Burnt Out Wreck features:
Gary Moat – vocals, rhythm guitar
Adrian Dunn – guitar, backing vocals
Alex Carmichael – bass, backing vocals
Miles Goodman, guitar
Paul Gray – drums
The band played their first live show at the Giants Of Rock in
Minehead in January 2017, alongside the likes of Steve Hackett, Ian
Anderson, Iain Paice, Phil Campbell, Focus, Gun, Dare and many more.
BOSTOK is the result of a big effort done by a group of young lovers of
metal music. It all started in the little village of Castalla (Alicante)
in summer of 2013 as a parallel project given the fact that most of the
musicians were part of another project at that point. Influenced by
bands such as Trivium, Dream Theater or In Flames, BOSTOK is located in
the alternative metal genre, but it is not limited to this, because the
creativity and innovation are always present.
Their debut full-lenght “Land Of Fire” has been received with much
praise from fans and media and the band has been determined to grow on a
daily base, both on a musical level, as well as learning the ins-and-
outs of the music industry.
BOSTOK proudly presents “Dichotomy” to the world. Next steps have
been made and it’s now time to present all music where it belongs: on
stage!
Vacant Image are a fast-paced alternative rock outfit formed in
Melbourne, Australia that aim to bring something new to the Australian
music scene.
You'll be seeing
us rip up the stage in an effort to leave an imprint in the music scene -

2013 saw the recording and release of the second long player «Perfect Sin». It was
followed up by the extended «Perfect Swiss» tour, which brought the band through their
home country and the adjacent countries. The two videos for «We Want To Party» and
«I’ll Be OK» were shot and released during the tour. In addition another digital single, a
cover version of the Rolling Stones' classic «Jumpin’ Jack Flash», was released.
The quartet took part in the official TV spot for the Swiss railway company (SBB) in 2013.
On the set they made acquaintance with the producer of the Swiss TV serial «Pimp it or
kick it», who offered them to appear in a complete episode. The show was broadcasted in
the same year.
The new album «Once Upon A Time» was recorded in the band-owned studio and mixed
by Tobias Lindell. Dragan Tanaskovic from the Bohus Sound Studios in Gothenburg
Sweden (ABBA, Europe, In Flames, H.E.A.T., and many more) took care of the mastering.
The only exception is an additional piano version of «Vampires Of The Night», which was
completely produced by Andreas Frei (Fäaschtbänkler)
