KISS Folk/Rock Cover Album Due In April

KISS Folk/Rock Cover Album Due In April

Berlin-based songwriter MARCEESE is set to release a varied folk/rock cover album based on KISS. The album, titled Baby Driver, will be released on CD and digipack on April 18th through Till Midnight Records. The album will feature a psychedelic version of ‘Cold Gin’ over ten minutes long as well as a MUMFORD AND SONS vibe with ‘Strutter’.

Comments Marceese: “At the age of seven, I went to the Savoy Cinema in Berlin-Spandau. They were showing KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park. I sat in the first row with a tape recorder and recorded the whole movie. When I listened to it, I heard myself singing ‘I wanna rock and roll all night and pauli everyday’. I thought they were singing ‘pauli everyday’. Hmmm. Since those days, it’s always been my dream to be Ace Frehley, playing guitar and flying over the stage or something spacy like that. Years later when I started playing guitar, I had the idea of covering each KISS song of their masked era. So, here comes phase one.”
Baby Driver tracklisting:
‘Strutter’
‘Tomorrow’
‘Don’t You Let Me Down’
‘Baby Driver’
‘Sure Know Something’
‘Hooked on Rock ‘n’ Roll’
‘Room Service’
‘What’s On Your Mind?’
‘Mr. Make Believe’
‘Baby Driver (Reprise)’
‘Cold Gin’

NIACIN Reveal New Album Details; Track Streaming

NIACIN Reveal New Album Details; Track Streaming

After a seven-year hiatus, instrumental neo-fusion supergroup NIACIN - featuring legendary bass guitarist Billy Sheehan (MR. BIG, STEVE VAI, DAVID LEE ROTH), keyboardist John Novello (CHICK COREA, EDGAR WINTER) and world-renowned drummer Dennis Chambers (SANTANA, PARLIAMENT/FUNKADELIC), will release their sixth studio album, Krush, on April 2nd in North America via Prosthetic Records.

Krush was recorded at Clear Lake Studios in North Hollywood with engineer Ara Sarkisian (STEEL PANTHER) while being mixed and mastered by Dino Herrmann (SCORPIONS, GUNS N' ROSES, MEAT LOAF). The album artwork was designed by Brian Ames (KING DIAMOND, ARCH/MATHEOS, KING'S X) and coincides impeccably with the band's kinetic 14-track release.
Krush tracklisting:

'Krush'
'Tone Wheels'
'Stormy Sunday'
'Low Art'
'Car Crash Red'
'Electorcity'
'Cold Fusion'

'Prelude & Funky Opus'

'Drifting'
'Sly Voltage'
'That's The One!'
'Triple Strength'

You can pre-order a copy of the album now through Prosthetic's web store here. The album's title track is streaming below:
The moniker Niacin — the common name of the vitamin B3 – refers to the integral musical role played by the Hammond B-3 organ in shaping the band’s sound. Inspired by the likes of RETURN TO FOREVER and THE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA, the group released their debut album in 1996 on Stretch, the label of jazz legend Chick Corea (who later wrote and performed on a track on Niacin's second album). With each member already firmly established in their respective genres, the band set out to form a new sound combining their jazz and rock roots, mixed with inspiration from B-3 legends such as BLIND FAITH, KEITH EMERSON, JON LORD, and Ken Hensley (URIAH HEEP). As the buzz spread, the group toured the world periodically over the following decade, during which they released four additional albums featuring such notable guests as Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION) and TOTO guitarist Steve Lukather.
For the last several years, the individual members of Niacin have worked steadily on various other projects — Chambers, for example, continues to serve as the musical anchor for Carlos Santana’s ongoing Las Vegas residency — but in 2012, the group reconvened for the first time since 2006 to write and record Krush.

SCOTT WEILAND: Nobody In STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Can Be Fired

SCOTT WEILAND: Nobody In STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Can Be Fired

Former STONE TEMPLE PILOTS frontman Scott Weiland continues to live in some sort of denial of the fact that he was fired by the group last week In an interview conducted with Spin while en route to a stop of his "Purple At The Core" tour, the singer furtherclarified his view of the band's status.

"There are some issues that have to be worked out with STP," said Weiland, "but they're the same issues that have been going on since the end of the last tour. Nobody in the band can be fired. No one's ever fired anybody, and no one's ever quit the band."

Weiland also claimed that the he-said, they-said "is something that has taken on its own life. Behind the scenes, it's really not anything different than what was going on before."

He added: "[STP] really have been together a long time, and I'm proud of that. I really do like those guys, and it hurts my feelings when we aren't getting along, because I view them as family."

Asked by TMZ last week about his dismissal from the band, Weiland replied, "STP is not broken up. It's a whole thing to try to boost ticket sales." The vocalist added, "I haven't talked to them for a while, but they were trying to get shows put together but we (Weiland and his solo band THE WILDABOUTS) already had our tour . . . They've done a lot of stuff like that in the past before, it's just kind of the way they roll."

Weiland also insisted that he can't be fired because "there's a thing written in our contract, no one can be fired."

The singer also said that substance abuse issues were not the reason for his firing, saying, "I haven't been doing any of that bad stuff in a long time. I drink some, but I don't drink and drive. I'm fine, I'm all good."

Rumors of Weiland being fired first surfaced in December after Slash revealed the news in a radio station interview. Just last week Weiland gave an interview to Rolling Stone in which he called the stories "hearsay."

That was before last Wednesday (February 27), when STP issued a brief statement saying that Weiland had been "terminated."

TEN YEARS AFTER's ALVIN LEE Dead At 68

TEN YEARS AFTER's ALVIN LEE Dead At 68

According to the BBC, TEN YEARS AFTER leader Alvin Lee has died aged 68. His family announced on his official website that he unexpectedly died on March 6 following complications during routine surgery.

"We have lost a wonderful and much loved father and companion, the world has lost a truly great and gifted musician," said the statement from his wife and daughters.
Lee worked with THE BEATLES' GEORGE HARRISON, STEVE WINWOOD, RONNIE WOOD and MICK FLEETWOOD on his first solo album, On the Road to Freedom, in 1973.

HEAVEN & EARTH - 'No Money, No Love' Track Streaming

HEAVEN & EARTH - 'No Money, No Love' Track Streaming

Taking up from where iconic bands like DEEP PURPLE and BAD COMPANY have left off, HEAVEN & EARTH is on a mission to resurrect the sanctity of classic rock in its purest, most accessible form on their third studio album titled Dig. Due out April 23rd on Quarto Valley Records, Dig was produced by Dave Jenkins - who’s turned the knobs for everyone from METALLICA to TOWER OF POWER - and features special guests Howard Leese (HEART, PAUL RODGERS), Richie Sambora (BON JOVI) and David Paich (TOTO).
Heaven & Earth - guitarist Stuart Smith, singer Joe Retta, bassist Chuck Wright, drummer Richie Onori and keyboardist Arlan Schierbaum - fuse elements of hard rock, blues and bits of classical with bravado and a razor-sharp focus.

As the band's founder and visionary, Smith says about Dig, "I feel that with the crafting of the songs on this album, the incredible band we’ve put together, especially with powerhouse vocalist Joe Retta and the unwavering support of Quarto Valley Records' President, Bruce Quarto, we really have a shot at getting Heaven & Earth the attention it deserves. This album is by far, the best thing I have ever done in my life!"

The British-born guitarist spent the 70’s bending strings with numerous groups before he distinguished himself by making the acquaintance of Deep Purple’s Ritchie Blackmore, who mentored the up-and-coming musician. “I’m probably one of the few people in the world who grew up with a poster of someone on their wall, ended up meeting them, becoming friends with them, and getting mentored by them,” Smith notes. At the urging of Blackmore, Smith migrated to Los Angeles where the seeds for Heaven & Earth were planted. The band released two critically acclaimed albums - Heaven & Earth Featuring Stuart Smith (1994) and Windows To The World (2000) - which helped advance Smith’s musical vision. Now, with Dig complete, the guitarist says Heaven & Earth is a true band, an energized collective of like-minded musicians who are excited at bringing its unique, celestial brand of rock to audiences all over the world in 2013.

“All the pieces are in place,” he explains with graceful candor. “We’re ready to make this our year.”

All the backing tracks on Dig were recorded at Ocean Studios in Burbank, California, and all the overdubs were done at the band’s own Wine Cellar Studios in Woodland Hills, California. To further refine the record’s sonic reach, Jenkins used a Closed Loop Analog Signal Processor (CLASP), a device that integrates real analog tape recording into digital tools like Pro Tools to create a warm and vintage sound. Both VAN HALEN and AEROSMITH enlisted a CLASP on their most recent albums.

In the same tradition, Heaven & Earth brought in acclaimed photographer Glen Wexler to create the cover art for Dig. Wexler has shot over 300 album covers, including records by Van Halen, BLACK SABBATH and MICHAEL JACKSON. Heaven & Earth will release a series of music videos for Dig - directed by Glen and produced by Meiert Avis and Jeremy Alter of Pusher Media - in February 2013.
Dig tracklisting:

'Victorious'
'No Money, No Love'
'I Don’t Know What Love Is'
'Waiting For The End Of The World'
'House Of Blues'
'Back In Anger'
'Sexual Insanity'
'Rock & Roll Does'
'Man & Machine'
'A Day Like Today'
'Good Times'

NORHOD Stream 'Lily's Ashes' Track Online

Italian symphonic metal combo NORHOD are streaming another new track online. Listen to 'Lily's Ashes' below:
Norhod recently signed a worldwide deal with Wormholedeath/Aural Music Group, who will release their debut album titled The Blazing Lily worldwide. The album was produced, recorded and mixed at Realsound Studio (Italy) with producer Wahoomi Corvi (CRYSALYS , THE WAY OF PURITY), and mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios in Finland. Release date will be announced soon both for Europe and Japan.
The whole band together stated: "We are so proud to have the opportunity to work with WormHoleDeath. The label is represented by serious and competent people and we are sure that they can support us properly. We are grateful to WormHoleDeath for appreciating our work and we are extremely happy to release our first full length The Blazing Lily with them."

A&R "Worm" stated: "When the Realsound guys asked me to listen to this band I was immediately impressed by their music, so after a meeting with the guys I decided to sign them without any hesitation. After some months, we got the album pre productions and I was really excited of what that music could become with our support. Now, looking back, after the hard work we have done with the band, producers and graphic artists I am definitely proud of what we have been able to create all together. The songs turned out so emotional and epic. Orchestrations and Clara's vocals are outstanding, the final sound is absolutely massive and tuneful as all instruments and the violent vocals found the right place to support the apocalyptic mood of the record. Furthermore the whole project is now complete as we have been working so hard on the concept, band's image and communication. It may sound a little bit too much, just test our work and see."
The first song from The Blazing Lily is 'Mirrors Lady' which can be heard below:

OSADA VIDA Streaming 'Those Days' Track In New Album Promo Video

OSADA VIDA Streaming 'Those Days' Track In New Album Promo Video

Polish prog-rockers OSADA VIDA will release their new album Particles on March 25th in Europe via Metal Mind Productions and April 9th in USA via MVD. The new album includes nine tracks plus a brilliant cover of METALLICA's track, Master Of Puppets'.

The cover art for the album was created by the band's keyboardist Rafal Paluszek, and can be seen below:
Particles tracklisting:

'Hard-Boiled Wonderland'
'Stronger'
'Fear'
'Those Days'
'Shut'
'David's Wasp'
'Different Worlds'
'Until You're Gone'
'Mighty World'

Bonus track:
'Master Of Puppets' (Metallica cover)

A promo video for the album, featuring the track 'Those Days' can be seen below:

Rafal Paluszek discusses the new material: "What's the album going to be like? It's going to differ in all respects from everything we've done before, starting with the cover (and all the artwork), which was meant to depart form the hackneyed gloomy aesthetics, adding more light, space, and buoyancy; through the songs themselves, which are much more accessible (but also more powerful and to-the-point); to the vocal parts of our new, fifth Osada member. The album is a result of what's been long ripening in our heads and hearts. It's permeated with our joy of playing music and it shows a different approach to music and composing.

I think this album might be a surprise to our fans but I'm convinced that it's going to be a surprise of the good sort. We gave a new meaning to the word "uncompromising". It's going to be melodious, rhythmical, powerful, and surprising. But it's still going to be Osada Vida. We've taken nothing away from the character of our music. We've just spiced it up quite a bit and we hope you'll find the spices to your liking. So, what it's going to be like? Find out soon!"

Osada Vida lineup:

Marek Majewski - vocal
Lukasz Lisiak - bass
Rafal Paluszek - keyboards
Bartek Bereska - guitars
Adam Podzimski - drums

Video: NEWSTED Working On New Album Tracks

Video: NEWSTED Working On New Album Tracks

Video footage of NEWSTED, the new band led by former METALLICA, VOIVOD and FLOTSAM AND JETSAM bassist Jason Newsted, "working on new album tracks" at his Chophouse studio in Walnut Creek, California can be seen below.

"Metal", the debut EP from NEWSTED, sold around 6,200 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 62 on The Billboard 200 chart.

"Metal" was released on January 8 exclusively via iTunes. The EP was made available as a physical CD on January 15.

"Metal" contains the following tracks:

* Soldierhead
* Godsnake
* King Of The Underdogs
* Skyscraper

By purchasing all four songs, you will receive a copy of Jason's handwritten lyrics.

In a recent interview on Full Metal Jackie's nationally syndicated radio show, Newsted stated about his new group's plans to release more material: "We recorded 11 songs total. We're going to release them in batches and if people dig them, then try to get a full LP out with the last EP with nice vinyl and stuff — that's my plan. If I can get that through and share that with people, then that's going to be really cool. I want to have it on CD. I ultimately want to have it on vinyl — the separate EP and the final one. We have to do it from the ground up like this because you have to take it to the people and selling the CDs at the show and all those kinds of things are the only way we were going to get back any money from the music. I think if you're going to put it online and share it with people that way, you get the downloads you can and then once it does whatever it does, you shouldn't try to really fight it — just present the best source material that you can, try to have it be representative and let it do its thing."

NEWSTED is:

Jason Newsted - Bass, Lead Vocals
Jesus Mendez Jr. (THE NAPOLEON BLOWNAPARTS) - Drums
Jessie Farnsworth - Guitar, Backing Voice

"Soldierhead", the first video from NEWSTED, can be seen below. Directed by Leon Melas, the clip was filmed on December 15, 2012 in an abandoned factory in California.

In a recent interview with Sonic Excess, Newsted stated about the video shoot: "It's just a simple thing, and I just wanted to capture the band. There is no heavy concept, no literal thing about bullets chasing your head or any of those things. It's old-school metal and most likely will be black and white. It was shot in an old factory. It was a gnarly, dusty, old factory and it had energy. That is what I will describe it as. I haven't got to play to the camera like that for a long time, and I was really going for it. The soldier version is something everyone will have. An HD version will be available on iTunes, but I want everyone to have it for free across the world. I want it to be the tip of the spear for everybody to see and hear what exactly it's all about."

"Soldierhead" was premiered on the December 17, 2012 edition of the "Eddie Trunk Live" show on SiriusXM satellite radio.
