CRUZ DEL SUR MUSIC – Inks Deal With Heavy Rockers TYBURN

Tyburn - band logo - 2016 - #MO0099ILMFLN

Cruz Del Sur Music has signed Norwegian heavy rockers TYBURN. The band will begin recording their debut album in November and the release is targeted for early 2017.

Tyburn was a village in the county of Middlesex close to the current location of Marble Arch and the southern end of Edgware Road in present-day London. For many centuries, the name Tyburn was synonymous of capital punishment, having been the principal place for execution of London criminals and convicted traitors.

Inspired by the likes of PENTAGRAM and others 70’s Hard Rock bands, as well as by NWOBHM legends. TYBURN features members of DEVIL, VESEN and ELECTRIC WOODLAND. In Tyburn gallows, ropes and executions are the gloomy backdrop for brilliant songwriting that turns every song into a memorable, grim, yet catchy musical experience.

FAITHSEDGE – Featuring Stryper/Ace Frehley/MR. BIG/Dokken/Hardline Members – Return With New Album

Posted in classic rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , , on April 18, 2016 by Metal Odyssey

Faithsedge - promo band collage - 2016 - #MOFEILMF933233

Faithsedge is returning with ‘Restoration’, their third and most melodic release to date. Fronted by mastermind singer / songwriter Giancarlo Floridia, the band returns with a stellar line-up featuring Stryper bass player Tim Gaines, Ace Frehley / Mr .Big drummer Matt Starr and former Dokken guitarist Alex De Rosso. Both Keys and production have been handled by Alessandro Del Vecchio (Hardline/ Revolution Saints).

The approach is very melodic with an old school feel: 80’s style hooks, big drums, slamming bass, epic keys and big production. At the same time the album keeps a current up to date feel with lyric content of today’s world mixed with a competitive Metal feel. Giancarlo’s songwriting approach mixed with each members experience and skills takes the album to new heights .

With different supergroups that come and go, Faithsedge is more than just that, the band members worked together as a tight team and the result and chemistry show in the end result. The album will be released on Scarlet Records in Europe and North America on June 24th and on Spiritual Beast in Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan on June 15th.

I AM NOAH – Reveal Details For Their Debut Album “The Verdict”

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , on April 12, 2016 by Metal Odyssey

I Am Noah - The Verdict - promo album cover pic - 2016 - #MOILMF999303

German Metal unit I Am Noah has revealed the cover art and track list for its debut album, The Verdict.

Produced by Aljoscha Sieg at Pitchback Studio, the album questions the long-existing, yet unchallenged barriers of the mind that humanity has grown to accept. In 12 songs, unapologetic intensity meets empathy, devotion and structure.

Sonically rooted in ambient Metalcore, the album is defined by its progressive riffing and percussive assault. The lyrics are written from the perspective of the album’s fictional anti-hero, Noah.

“I Am Noah and I’m tired. I’m tired of people who distinguish themselves with their income, uniform, skincolour, religion, gender or nationality to affect everything and everyone. I’m tired of being closely watched. I’m tired of living in a society, which dictates who to be or not. I’m tired of facing people’s failure in their attempt of making life better, whilst being deported and called illegal or haunted just because of their religion. I’m tired.. I’m done. I just want to abscond from this routine. Who’s in? I Am Noah. Who are you?”

The Verdict will be released May 13th via Bastardized Recordings.

I Am Noah - promo band pic - 2016 - #3300399

The Verdict – Track List:

1. Defendant
2. Rise Of Mankind
3. Embrace The End
4. The Verdict
5. If Life Could Be The Answer
6. Unlearned
7. Deafblind
8. What Is Dead May Never Die feat. Dennis Fries
9. Drowned
10. One Man Wolfpack
11. Hourglass
12. Conquer The Thrones

Five METAL Albums You Should NEVER Buy…

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, news, rock music with tags , , , , on April 8, 2016 by Metal Odyssey

Metallica - Death Magnetic - promo album cover pic - #MO9099ILMF

METALLICA – Death Magnetic

The only song missing on this Metallica (gulp) album is: Thanks For The Memory.

Ozzy Osbourne - "Scream" large promo album pic!

OZZY OSBOURNE – Scream

By far, the worst Ozzy Osbourne studio album. Ever. If I wrote anything positive about this album in the past, it was because I ate too many wild mushrooms. To this day, I’m embarrassed for Gus G having to play guitar on this record.

Philm - Harmonic - promo album cover pic - #MO0097733ILMF

PHILM – Harmonic

I got sucked into this album due to the great Dave Lombardo (of Slayer fame) being a founding member and drummer for PHILM. Honestly, it’s one of the worst albums I’ve ever listened to of any genre.

Guns N' Roses "The Spaghetti Incident" x-large album pic!

GUNS N’ ROSES – “The Spaghetti Incident?”

This cover song album features a song written by Charles Manson and performed by GNR. Classless. ‘Nuff said.

Iced Earth - Horror Show - promo album cover pic - #MO33660ILMF4

ICED EARTH – Horror Show

I absolutely love ICED EARTH, still, this album is not their crowning glory. Horror Show goes on and on and on, like a bad dream. I truthfully fell asleep numerous times while trying to listen to this album. It was a grand idea though, with wicked excellent cover art to boot.

Vancouver, Canada’s ASTRAKHAN are proud to announce the upcoming release of debut full-length album, Reward in Purposeon CD and vinyl formats. The highly anticipated follow-up to 2014 EP A Tapestry of Scabs and Skin will be released June 10 on War on Music and Sunmask Records. Check out the Reward in Purpose teaser video at this location or below:

Recorded by Jesse Gander and Mastered by Stu McKillop at Rain City Recorders, Reward in Purpose stands as a singular piece of music and is meant to be taken as it is; the whole is indeed bigger than the sum of its parts. This album explores the perceptions and experience of the band over the last few years together and culminates with the realization that the true reward for which we search with any passionate endeavour is ultimately a matter of experiencing the highs and lows that come with the pursuit of pure expression. It is simply a matter being occupied with something that matters to you.

A video of the band performing new song “Omajod” at Vancouver Psychfest can be viewed at this location or below:

Album artwork comes courtesy of Nick Patterson. ASTRAKHAN vocalist/guitarist Rob Zawistowski created the design and layout. Thanks to Amy Ray Photography for band photos, including the album’s back cover.

The Grammy nominated Connecticut based juggernaut, HATEBREED, will release their new album “The Concrete Confessional” on May 13th via Nuclear Blast Entertainment. The long-awaited follow-up to “The Divinity Of Purpose” was produced by longtime collaborator Zeuss (ROB ZOMBIE, SUICIDE SILENCE, WHITECHAPEL) and mixed by Josh Wilbur (LAMB OF GOD, MEGADETH). Artwork was created by Marcelo Vasco (SLAYER).

Regarding the artwork vocalist Jamey Jasta comments: “I think da Vinci said it best when he said painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. Marcelo was able to capture a feeling that will accompany our musical and lyrical vision and he put together a striking piece that speaks volumes.”

“The Concrete Confessional” – Track List:
01. A.D.
02. Looking Down The Barrel Of Today
03. Seven Enemies
04. In The Walls
05. From Grace We’ve Fallen

08. Remember When
09. Slaughtered In Their Dreams
