The post GREYSTONE CANYON – Suicide (Thin Lizzy cover) (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) appeared first on MyRockNews.

Featuring the legendary Shane Gaalaas on drums (Yngwie Malmsteen, Michael Schenker, B’z) and the incredible Ronnie Romero on vocals (Rainbow, Lords of Black), this international ensemble is set to make waves in the rock world!

A CIRCUS, led by guitarist Luca Federici, draws inspiration from iconic bands like Rainbow, Queen, Deep Purple, Ozzy, and Blackmore’s Night. Their sound is a unique blend of classic prog rock with a modern twist – totally anachronistic yet refreshingly new.

“Judas” stands out as the catchiest and most melodic song of the project, it showcases one of the most solid moments from the rhythmic section featuring different layers. Initially a very slow ballad turning into something more dynamic!

The post A CIRCUS – Judas (VISUALIZER) appeared first on MyRockNews.

Guitarist Harri Hautala adds about the track:
“The core idea, the copper mountain from which the world tree grows, behind ‘Karn of Burnings’ came from a Bronze Age burial ground I visited two years ago. This visit largely changed my view of the world from a historical and especially ancestral perspective. ‘Aettarfylgja’ paints a picture of the people of that era. Lots of music in a small space.”

UNSHINE’s new album, “Karn of Burnings” assures an enthralling voyage delving into the realms of pre-modern human existence and posthuman metaphors, characterized by their signature blend of melodic Nordic folk elements and the ethereal vocals of Susanna Vesilahti. With eight tracks, each representing a living entity from different eras, the album spans 45 minutes of melodic storytelling. UNSHINE believes that fans will be pleasantly surprised by the album’s offerings, promising a unique and unpredictable listening experience.

Fans and enthusiasts worldwide are encouraged to experience the ritualistic journey of “Karn of Burnings” now available as of March 22, 2024, from Rockshots Records. It is recommended for fans of Amorphis, The Gathering, and Skálmöld.

The post AVALAND – The Legend Of The Storyteller (ALBUM PREVIEW) appeared first on MyRockNews.

singer Carine PINTO comments “This song denounces the behaviors and human activities that lead to the progressive and rapid destruction of our environment, our planet. All our excesses
have serious consequences. It’s our responsibility to change”

“This is the most complicated piece in terms of rhythm. The bass/drums part is very precise
and an acoustic guitar solo brings a Hispanic touch. The vocals on the chorus are particularly high and very metal” adds guitarist François MERLE

Rockshots Records will be releasing the English version of France’s Manigance’s latest album “The Shadows Ball (Le Bal Des Ombres)” on February 24th, 2023. The original francophone version was released on March 18, 2022.

What started out as a cover band to doing full fledge originals and being garnered “Best French Group of 2003” by Hard Rock Magazine and triumphing on the stage at Hellfest (Live video), “The Shadows Ball” is the band’s eighth studio album and first to be sung in English by new vocalist Carine Pinto who replaced Didier Delsaux in 2018. The band made the decision to to do English songs as they wanted to make their music more accessible to foreign audiences in preparation for their 2023 European tour with Rhapsody of Fire in March.

“This album contains different songs from the Manigance standards. We have shortened the songs and worked on the arrangements. We think we can play a lot of these songs in our shows. It’s a sign that the fans should enjoy these songs. They are adapted to be played live. We have evolved in our writing process. The songs are still very rich, but the structure is simpler. We also listen to the latest productions to offer a modern album with a current sound.” adds guitarist François Merle.

The new album features twelve tracks that are inspired by Pinto’s lyrics from personal and intimate emotions, but also can relate to most listeners, from the betrayal of a friend, the burning of Notre Dame Cathedral (Paris – France), climate change, violence against the LBGT community, confinement during COVID, and domestic violence.

“The Shadows Ball” is recommended for fans of heavy metal and bands like Battle Beast and Accept.

Today, to celebrate the record’s release, SANDNESS are sharing their new video for the single “Someone So Bad”.

SPOTIFY – https://spoti.fi/3LpFLXn

“This is a love song, a love letter written by a musician who spends a lot of time far away from their better half while touring around the world. In the chorus you can also hear a female voice (for the first time in a Sandness song), that’s Maria Grazia Zancopè, the lead singer of Perpetual Fate.”
Listen and watch to “Someone So Bad” at https:/youtu.be/O49V3MVqauc​
SANDNESS’ new album is produced, mixed, and mastered by Michele Guaitoli and features twelve original tracks including a bonus cover version of KISS’ “Turn On The Night”. The lyrics written for the full length give an insight into how the band kept themselves busy and entertained during the first lockdown in the spring of 2020.

“We think that our fans won’t be disappointed, we worked hard on this album, and without live gigs over the last 2 years due to Covid 19, we had a lot of time and energy to put into it. The songs are catchy and easy to listen to. We want this album to be the getaway from your typical stressful everyday life. We want people to feel good when they listen to our songs. Our music brings you to a dimension where everything is solvable with some dance moves or some headbanging. Give you the bright side of things to escape the difficult times.” adds the band.
“Play Your Part” is a different kind of animal from SANDNESS’ previous releases, due to the lockdown, they had more time to think and work on the songs. They also worked a lot more closely with producer Michele Guaitoli, who helped them bring their music to the next level. The new album is more mature and inspired by different styles: hard rock, classic rock, heavy metal, 70’s rock n’ roll, but also pop music from different decades.

“Play Your Part” is available as of May 20, 2022.
