ADORNED BROOD – German Pagan Metal Pioneers Sign To Massacre Records

Massacre Records:

We’re proud to announce the signing of German Pagan Metal pioneers ADORNED BROOD!

When they started in 1993, ADORNED BROOD were just a few young metalheads who loved Metal and who wanted to create their own unique sound by combining elements of Extreme Metal on the one hand and Folk elements, like flutes, on the other.
 
Meanwhile, the band can look back on seven full-length albums, such as “Asgard”, “Heldentat”, “Noor” and their latest album “Hammerfeste”.

ADORNED BROOD faced several line-up changes, but they always stayed true to themselves.

Besides playing at Germany’s Wacken Open Air, Summer Breeze and lots of other festivals, the band played countless gigs, some of them as support for bands such as Subway To Sally, TYR, Alestorm, Turisas or Korpiklaani.

Vocalist and bassist Frost, drummer Mischa, guitarists Thorsten and Jan, keyboardist Niklas and flutist Anne are currently working on new material for their 8th album, which is scheduled to be released in fall 2012.

The band stated:

“We are looking forward to work with such an established label like Massacre Records, which has faith in us and supports us. It’s an honor to be signed to the same label that Eisregen, Legion of the Damned and Wolfchant are signed to!”

ADORNED BROOD as well as their label mates CORONATUS are going to play at Germany’s famous gothic festival WGT (Wave Gotik Treffen) in a couple of days!

Some Metal and Rock ‘N Roll Thoughts – Friday, May 25th, 2012

Memorial Day – CD Cover (Knightsbridge – 2009)

Memorial Day weekend is upon us here, in the grand country of America. A federal holiday, Memorial Day is always celebrated on the last Monday of May. Memorial Day is for remembering and honoring all service men and women who’ve died in all the wars which America has been involved in. Parades, memorial services, fireworks shows and family picnics are four common ways in which Memorial Day is celebrated.

I am thankful to all the soldiers who gave their lives for American freedom. I’m also thankful to all the active duty service men and women of our armed forces who keep our country safe each day; as well as those who survived these terrible wars; both the wounded and retired.

Mark Tremonti (founding member/guitarist of Creed and Alter Bridge) will be having his debut solo album, All I Was, releasing in early July. The one and only time I interviewed Mark was for Hard Rock Hideout, back in March of 2011. Mark was a soft-spoken, polite and nice guy. You can read this interview in its entirety by clicking the large link below!

The new Aerosmith album, Music From Another Dimension, will be released on August 28th, 2012. This will be the 15th studio album from Aerosmith (counting their 2004 cover album Honkin’ On Bobo). I hope it’s a good Rockin’ album. The album artwork looks cool; it’s very retro. I will sample this album online before I make a purchase though…

Motörhead – Ace Of Spades (1980 – Bronze) 

What is mandatory Metal? Check below:

Testament – Live In London (2005 – Spitfire)

This past Sunday, May 20th, Robin Gibb passed away at age 62. My condolences to the family, friends and fans of Robin Gibb. If I have to name a favorite Bee Gees song… it’s… Nights On Broadway.

Those are my Metal and Rock ‘N Roll thoughts for Friday, May 25th, 2012. I wish everyone a safe, healthy and Rockin’ weekend, wherever you may roam. Reuse, Refurbish and Recycle. Metal be thy name.

LONG LIVE METAL AND ROCK ‘N ROLL.
