WHOA! This band KNOWS that Heavy Rock from the late 70’s to the late 80’s was written and played to make YOU feel good; in turn, their debut EP is absolute GOOD TIMES to my Rockaholic senses!

The Beautifully Demolished play as tight as a… um, well, you know… and the Heavy Rockin’ chemistry is overflowing; like a raging volcano on one of them remote Pacific Islands that y’all see on National Geographic channel. Son-Of-O-Bitch this band is gonna gladden your Hard Rockin’ NEEDS! The Beautifully Demolished are Sleaze Rock, Arena Rock, Hard Rock, 80’s Heavy Metal and Classic Rock, all rolled up into one delectable package of ear candy! Couple all that fanfare I just blabbed along with this band’s originality and it equates to: a lit stick of psyche-you-out dynamite!

Vocalist D.K. Revelle and band are NOW! The songs, sound and attitude of The Beautifully Demolished are not just relevant… they’re a Heavy Rock necessity in 2013! Metal be thy name! Whoa.

ROYAL THUNDER AND ROLLING STONE OFFER ACOUSTIC DOWNLOAD OF “PARSONZ CURSE”

BAND CURRENTLY ON TOUR WITH DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, JOIN BARONESS IN AUGUST

________________________________

Philadelphia – Royal Thunder, the Atlanta-based band who released their debut album CVI in May of 2012 to rave reviews including a recent accolade from Rolling Stone’s David Fricke (“heavy with the meaty, base elements of early-Seventies British blues”), are offering a free download of an acoustic version of “Parsonz Curse” via Rolling Stone:

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/parsonz-curse-by-royal-thunder-free-mp3-20130523

“When we went in to the studio to re-record the tracks from CVI acoustically, we didn’t just want to play the songs how they were played on the record,” explained guitar player Josh Weaver. “We started with basic ideas and structures and then added different instruments so as to shed new light on each piece. We wanted to dig deeper into ‘Parsonz Curse’ and see what else was in it. It was a great experience to do something out of our comfort zone. We have a very strong, creative, positive working relationship with our longtime friend and producer Joey Jones, who owns and runs Aria Recording Studio. The experience challenged us on many different levels.We are excited and honored to be able to release this particular track with Rolling Stone. Thank you to Rolling Stone and thank you to all of our fans for your much-appreciated support! Enjoy!”

The acoustic offering was recorded earlier this year and showcases the diversity and range the female-fronted outfit is capable of. Two other acoustic versions of songs from CVI have been made available previously: Decibel Magazine offered “Whispering World” via their July flexi disc and Pitchfork offered a download of “Black Water Vision” (http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/15230-black-water-vision-acoustic/), which they described as a “Southern gothic murder ballad halfway down the cemetery road” and added “Mlny Parsonz’s voice commands attention whether it’s with a wail or a whisper.”

Royal Thunder is currently on the road with The Dillinger Escape Plan and will join label mates Baroness on Aug. 5 for a month of dates. The band will also play Bonnaroo on June 16 as well as Scion’s Rock Fest on June 1 in Memphis.

SEVER THE DRAMA – I crossed Metal paths with SEVER THE DRAMA and would like to share their raging music video, Watching You, with all my fellow Metal brethren. Watching You is the lead single from their (2010) debut album Vested Interest. I hereby make this Metal declaration:

SEVER THE DRAMA – Watching You music video is: Stone’s METAL Pick Of The Day!

SEVER THE DRAMA calls Hartford, Connecticut home and are an unsigned Hard Rock/Metal band. This band bestows some potent Metal talent and should not fly under your Metal radar! I dig what I’m hearing from SEVER THE DRAMA; this is underground Heavy Music that must be heard and spread stateside and worldwide!

Take a listen and look below to Watching You… crank it up LOUD and remember these 3 words: SEVER THE DRAMA. Metal be thy name.

BUY THE DEBUT ALBUM, VESTED INTEREST, FROM SEVER THE DRAMA ON ITUNES!

CLICK HERE: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/vest…

* Vested Interest was released back on December 12th, 2010.

* Vested Interest is also available digitally at Amazon.com

* Look for the forthcoming new album, Chasing Shadows, from SEVER THE DRAMA!

SEVER THE DRAMA – BAND BIO

(As shown on their Reverbnation site):

Sever The Drama is as much a mission statement as a band name. This focused, driven four-piece from Hartford, CT delivers a dynamic Hard Rock experience. Intricate and explosive rhythms lay the foundation for solid bass, powerful guitars and melodic yet aggressive vocals.

Since 2009, Sever the Drama has been playing stages in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York – building its fan base. High powered, tight, visually arresting performances separate Sever the Drama from the rest.

SKID ROW “UNITED WORLD REBELLION (CHAPTER ONE)” EP – 5 Reasons To BUY This Kick Ass CD!

Posted in classic rock, Hard Rock, hard rock albums, hard rock bands, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags hard rock album 2013, hard rock news, heavy metal album 2013, Skid Row, skid row united world rebellion, united world rebellion chapter on ep on May 11, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

SKID ROW – UNITED WORLD REBELLION (CHAPTER ONE) EP was released back on April 16th and it has absolutely kicked my Heavy Rock lovin’ ass since the first moment I cranked it up! Below are 5 reasons why YOU MUST BUY this kick ass CD and find out why it is a 100% fabulous release from these Legends of Heavy Music! Fans have waited several years for some new studio material from SKID ROW and now it’s here! Metal be thy name!

Reason # 5: Johnny Solinger. As with prior SKID ROW releases Thickskin (2003) and Revolutions Per Minute (2006), Johnny Solinger has proven himself to be one hell of a talent vocally; giving SKID ROW and their songs a badass vibe and character that I not only expect… it’s what I want!

Reason #4: ALL 5 songs kick Heavy Rockin’ ass. Hey, I’ve used the word “ass” a couple of times here already. Um, if you’re offended… kiss my Heavy Rockin’ and Metal lovin’ ass.

Reason #3: This Is Killing Me. Yes, the (power) ballad: This Is Killing Me. I am Stone. I HATE ballads, therefore, when a ballad psyches-me-out-of-my-mind I’m gonna tell the whole F’n world about it. Whoa.

Reason #2: SKID ROW could have taken the low road and not bothered to release any new music at all. Instead, SKID ROW are not about resting on their legendary Heavy Rock laurels; this is a band that obviously wants to remind fans and new fans alike: We are here to kick your Heavy Rock ass!

Reason #1: The band itself. SKID ROW. Holy shit did they compile 5 Hard Rockin’ songs that are QUALITY in BOTH music AND lyrics. I only wish United World Rebellion (Chapter One) had 10, 12 or more songs! This isn’t a SKID ROW release to ignore, my fellow Rockaholics and Metal brethren. Chapter Two can’t be released quick enough for me. Metal as my witness, this EP from SKID ROW is a MUST buy. Metal be thy name.

SKID ROW:

Johnny Solinger – vocals

Scotti Hill – guitar

Rachel Bolan – bass

Snake Sabo – guitar

Rob Hammersmith – drums

Legendary Canadian band KILLER DWARFS, are very excited to announce that they are reuniting to support the release of their “Lost” album Start @ One . The tracks were recorded in 1993 at Powerlines Studios in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with Producer/Engineer Fred Duvall. Fred also recently produced and recorded the very successful Russ Dwarf acoustic release Wireless.

The album`s lineup of Russ Dwarf, Darrell Dwarf, Ronbo Dwarf, and Gerry Dwarf is the same as the bands prior Sony/Epic release Method to the Madness in 1991. The original master tapes are currently being digitally remixed and re-mastered for the release scheduled for early July 2013. This is the 20th anniversary of the recording of this never released album.

The Track Listing For Start @ One Is:

1. Lonely Road

2. Solid Ground

3. Sky is Falling

4. Adelina

5. Psycho Circus

6. Start @ One

7. Down in Hollywood

8. Walk on By

9. The Crowd

Plus 2 New Bonus Tracks that are being written just for this release!

The CD will be available worldwide via iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and all other distribution channels.

After the amazing success and critical acclaim of this year’s acoustic release Wireless, the fans were re-acquainted with the music of the Killer Dwarfs and they demanded to hear more from the band.

The Killer Dwarfs have announced that they will be touring to support the release of Start @ One and are preparing for US, Canadian and European Tour dates. Dates are still to be finalized and will be announced over the next few months. A live CD and DVD from this tour are also planned as well as the launch of a new website for the fans to Keep the Spirit Alive!

Go Dunk!

KING KOBRA – “II” Due For Release In July On Frontiers Records

Posted in classic rock, classic rock bands, Hard Rock, hard rock albums, hard rock bands, Heavy Metal, Music, rock bands, rock music, rock music news with tags classic rock, classic rock albums 2013, hard rock albums 2013, hard rock news, king kobra, king kobra II, rock music news on May 9, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the release of KING KOBRA’s new studio album II on July 5th in Europe and July 9th in North America.

King Kobra’s long-awaited reunion album “King Kobra” (s/t) released on Frontiers Records in 2011, left no doubt that this was a band to be reckoned with. Even though nearly 25 years had passed since the original line-up recorded the landmark “Ready To Strike” and “Thrill Of A Lifetime” albums, the energy and immediacy of the bands lightning attack had not diminished one iota and fans responded in kind.

“We chose to name this album “II” because it is both the second album of our reformation with Frontiers Records as well as the second generation of the band with Paul Shortino as lead vocalist,” says guitarist David Michael-Philips. “Paul’s unique style gives the band a new feel apart from what we were in the 80s with original singer Mark/Marcie Free. I think the “re-boot” naming gives Paul the credit he deserves while paying homage to our original singer and sound”.

The thick, soulful vocals of Paul Shortino, dual guitarists Mick Sweda and David Michael-Philips, and the thundering bass and drums of Johnny Rod and Carmine Appice delivered an album that, while easily carrying on the tradition of the first two releases, brought a contemporary twist to a signature melodic, hard rock style. “The “70’s” flavour of this new album was a conscious move to incorporate our influences into the music,” says David Michael-Philips, while Carmine Appice adds “King Kobra was a band in the ‘80s with great players…and had roots in the ‘70s also.. We tried to make a cool combination of both, which I think we achieved with this new album”.

Produced by David Henzerling with Carmine Appice and Paul Shortino, II digs into King Kobra hard rock roots to create an album that has all the swagger and swing of the classic 70’s albums (think Montrose, Bad Company, Deep Purple and even Carmine’s own legendary Cactus) with a crystal clear sound that combines the best of both analogue and digital recording techniques. From the tight and punchy “Have A Good Time” to the 8-minute epic “Deep River”, “II” shows a more mature band confident of its songwriting ability performing with the technical prowess garnered over years of experience.

II track listing includes: Hell On Wheels; Knock ‘Em Dead; Have A Good Time; The Ballad Of Johnny Rod; Take Me Back; When The Hammer Comes Down; Running Wild; The Crunch; Got It Comin’; Deep River; Don’t Keep Me Waiting; We Go Round.

Enjoy a YouTube presentation of the new album below:

GREAT WHITE “Shotgun Willie’s” – Fan Filmed Music Video From 2013 Monsters Of Rock Cruise Is Online!

Posted in classic rock, classic rock news, Hard Rock, hard rock bands, hard rock news, Heavy Metal, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags classic rock, Great White, great white shotgun willie's music video, hard rock albums 2012, hard rock news, rock music news on May 8, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

As reported on Great White [Band]:

GREAT WHITE took a different approach for this video Shotgun Willie’s. They let their audience helm the director’s chair. Filmed over the course of March’s 2013 Monsters of Rock Cruise, where GREAT WHITE headlined the floating Rock festival, the video encapsulates the high energy of everyone there and the five-piece band’s bond.

“We discovered after looking at the footage that not only do we look like we are having a blast,” guitarist Michael Lardie said. “But that our fans connected to our music in ways that we can’t always see from the stage under the lights. Some of the video is very much a party atmosphere, but this is also a video scrapbook of people who have never stopped loving our music and continue to be a part of the GREAT WHITE family.”

GREAT WHITE gives special thanks to all the fans that participated and contributed.

Shotgun Willie’s is the fourth single off of Elation (Frontiers Records).

GREAT WHITE:

Terry Illous – vocals

Mark Kendall – guitar

Michael Lardie – keyboards & guitar

Scott Snyder – bass

Audie Desbrow – drums
