Sarantos - Not Where I Wanna Be (2014)

Sarantos is finally releasing his long-awaited and eagerly anticipated 1st solo artist music album on November 18^th 2014. Sarantos' music has received rave reviews so far and he relishes this chance to pursue his life long dream.

Sarantos unique sound has been best described by industry insiders as "an emotionally powerful vocal style masterfully united with music that is a fusion of classic 80s rock blended with modern soft rock and pop music!"

Sarantos currently has over 1M twitter followers, 450K Facebook likes and is rated #4 on Reverbnation in the pop genre.  Sarantos was invited to the Toronto Music Festival on May 6^th and performed with his new band to a sold out live audience of over 200 people.

There will be plenty of continued buzz throughout the year.  A new song will be released on the 1^st Tuesday of every month, a new music video on the 2^nd Tuesday of every month, a new Funny video of the month on the 3^rd Tuesday of every month and a new Whiteboard video on the 4^th Tuesday of every month! 

Sarantos has been writing lyrics since 4th grade and is passionate about the words he puts to the music. Music was always in his blood. Music was always a passion and much more than a hobby. Sarantos has written over 2,000 songs!

Having undergone several personal challenges with Sarantos' father passing away two years ago after a long hard-fought battle with lung cancer, dealing with personal health issues like asthma and allergies which affected his singing style, going thru life's ups & downs, the timing is finally right. Sarantos main motivation, however, is to raise money for charity.

33% of any music related sales are going straight to charity!

Sarantos has always been inclined to help people in need and is proud to launch this CD as a way to donate a portion of proceeds to charity, hopefully inspiring other artists to do the same. The 11 charities chosen for each song include American Cancer Society, American Lung Association, Make-a-Wish Foundation, American Heart Association, St Jude's, Hellenic Academy, ASERF, American Red Cross, Children's Hospital of Chicago, Chicago Medical School, Thanioton Society & the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

The website, Melogia (which in Greek means "with words") was established by Sarantos, an aspiring singer and song writer.

Sarantos Mission or Goal:

"My goal when you listen to one of my songs is very simple. I want you to feel the need to:

-Sing

-Dance or move to the groove

-Play the song over and over again"

Uzziel - Torn Apart (2014)

Uzziels style is hard to describe for they play everything that steams and rocks. Soothing vibes are inspired by dark emotions and life pain.

Their killerstyle drums combined with melodic/thrashy guitars, smashing shouts and clean vocals draw people into a dark magical spell. UZZIEL  does understand the balance between aggression and sable force.

They now have been destroing the stages since December 2010.

UZZIEL looks back at the releases of the demo „Broken“ and their video „Captured by Emptiness“ in the year 2011 followed by „Torn Apart“ , a worldwide sold album in 2014.

The burning desire to break boundries feeds their soul for many more brutal beats.

Tracklist:

1.     Children's Playground                 
2.     Like a God                        
3.     Lies                        
4.     Wash Away My Tears                                 
5.     Coming for You                                 
6.     In Your Eyes                       
7.     The War Within                         
8.     I'm Dying                    
9.     Why                       
10.   Captured by Emptiness                           
11.   Lost Control                                 
12.   Are You Afraid                   
13.   Frozen                 
14.   D'Alighieri's Nightmare

EVYLTYDE ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM RELEASE

London-grown female-fronted metal machinists, EVYLTYDE, are excited to announce their highly anticipated self-titled debut album will be officially released on 19th January 2015 and that it is currently available to pre-order NOW from iTunes, Amazon MP3 and directly from the bands website (www.evyltyde.com).

The 10-track digital release includes 5 songs that currently feature as part of EVYLTYDE’s live set; ‘Living To Die’, ‘Kick You Down’, ‘Guilty’, ‘Chastity’ and ‘Fly Away’ plus another 5 new songs that the band have written exclusively for the album during their one month stint at Boneyard Studios in Wales, United Kingdom.

The special edition CD release will not only contain the 10 new recordings, but will include versions of EVYLTYDE’s four previous releases as ‘bonus tracks’ – pre-ordered copies of the CD will also be signed by the band as a special bonus.

EVYLTYDE are one of the UK’s fastest growing metal bands and are redefining what is expected from the genre of ‘female-fronted’ metal, by steering away from the gothic/symphonic style that has been so common in recent times and opting for a more classic, traditional metal approach with great hooks, hammering riffs and powerful vocals.

Going forward, EVYLTYDE start work on their next music video in only a few weeks time and plans are already underway for a spring UK tour in 2015 with some dates already confirmed.

EVYLTYDE – Debut album available for pre-order on iTunes, Amazon MP3 and www.evyltyde.com...

'Evyltyde ripped up the stage, we were very impressed with them!' - XL Promotions

'I have just witnessed some metal awesomeness!' - Oliver (Metal music fan)

'This band are awesome. The rhythm section is totally on point and the fact that you can actually hear the bass in the mix is massive plus.' - James Holder, The Musical Outcast

EVYLTYDE are a female-fronted British metal band based in and around the London area who bring the sound of traditional, classic metal into the modern age with a mix of killer riffs, searing power chords and melodic vocals!!!
EVYLTYDE was established in August 2013 by Danny Merton (guitars) and Hannah Delany (vocals) after both were recruited for a project to reform a cult UK metal band from the 80s.
However, when that project fell through they were left with nothing but some studio time, so they set about using it productively - recording a number of tracks for independent release.
"Fight To Be Free" was the first of these tracks and is a homage of sorts to classic British metal bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. "Fight To Be Free" was released during the traditional Christmas Chart period in 2013 and is currently available for download.
Due to it's lyrical content being inspired by events such as the Arab Spring, Libya and the war in Syria, EVYLTYDE are dedicated to giving all profits from the sales of the single to charity.
In late 2013, bassist Paul James (formerly Virus) permanently joined EVYLTYDE to add even greater depth to what was already an extremely powerful core.
After a number of drummer changes in early 2014, EVYLTYDE finally settled with Isaac Marques (previously 101% Pantera), a stalwart of the London depping scene who finally hung-up his mercenary hat to join the band full-time.
Within a relatively short amount of time EVYLTYDE have been lucky enough to share the stage with some other great independent UK metal acts including DETHONATOR and SKREAMER as well as NWOBHM originators SACRILEGE.
In July 2014, EVYLTYDE released their second single "Killer", the video for which received over 1,000 views on YouTube in it's first few weeks.
To celebrate the recording of their debut album the band released their third single "Skin Deep" in late September/early October 2014 as a free download on their Reverbnation page.
Now, with the imminent release of their self-titled debut album, EVYLTYDE are looking forward to an exciting 2015!
EVYLTYDE's second single release "Killer" is available NOW from iTunes. BUY HERE: http://bit.ly/W2QrTc or you can WATCH IT HERE:http://bit.ly/1tfwkA4
