FURYON - Gravitas
FURYONGravitas
Frontiers RecordsRelease: 23 March 2012
| Label: Frontiers Records | Music Style: Melodic Hard Rock |
| Cat. #: FR CD 548 | Cod: 8024391054826 |
Tracklisting: Disappear Again; Stand Like Stone; Souvenirs; Don't Follow; New Way of Living; Voodoo Me; Fear Alone; Wasted on You; Our Peace Someday; Desert Suicide; Voodoo Me (acoustic)*; Souvenirs (acoustic)*
* Bonus tracks
Think you know who FURYON is? Think again! Since their inception FURYON have been a band who like nothing more than to challenge expectations. Raised on a diet of heavy metal, prog, and classic rock, FURYON mix all these components for a truly unique and contemporary sound. Delivering huge rock radio friendly songs, with technically challenging, yet infectiously catchy musicianship. Dedicated to one sole purpose, making hard hitting songs that will stand the test of time.
From the outset FURYON have been a force to be reckoned with live. Word of mouth meant they soon became one of the biggest draws in Brighton’s busy rock scene, selling out shows at the iconic Concorde 2 venue, usually reserved for high profile touring bands. The blistering power and passion of a FURYON show is something very special to behold.
What separates FURYON from the crowd is the sheer quality of their musicianship. Boasting two truly world class guitarists in the form of Chris Green, and Pat “The Shred” Heath FURYON have few peers when it comes to the quality of their iconic riffs, and jaw dropping solos. Backing them up is one of the tightest rhythm sections the rock world has to offer with the awesome combination of Lee Farmery, and Nickel. Leading from the front is the outstanding vocal versatility of Matt Mitchell, whose emotion drenched voice effortlessly moves between melodic and crunchingly heavy.
In 2009, after a sell out tour, and accompanying EP, FURYON set about the serious business of writing their debut album. The early demo’s reached the ears of USproducer Rick Beato (SHINEDOWN, FOZZY), and a powerful and symbiotic relationship was formed. It became obvious immediately that Beato and FURYON were on the same page creatively, so much so that the band flew out to his Atlantastudio to record their stunning debut album the aptly named “GRAVITAS”.
Released independently on a low profile and later covermounted on Metal Hammer UK, “Gravitas” received already rave responses from the press, including:
“I’ve seen hundreds of unsigned & unknown band in my career. Only a handful of them made me stand up and take any notice. Only one of them made me do that from the very first listen and that one band was FURYON.”
Chris Ingham (Group Publisher Classic Rock, Metal Hammer)
“Brighton’s FURYON are the latest and arguably greatest metal band of the modern era…”
Dom Lawson (Metal Hammer)
“Do you like massive hooks? Do you like world-class guitar playing? Do you like music you can bang your head to, stamp your foot to, drive to and f*** to? Yes? …then, even if you’ve not yet heard them, FURYON are already one of your favourite bands.”
Alex Baker (Kerrang! Radio)
“Furyon almost crashed the airwaves when they came on my radio show, I’ve never had so many listeners tune in. They deserve to be stars. They deserve to play stadiums.”
Louise Brown (Presenter Totalrock Radio/Editor Terrorizer Magazine)
“World Class Mainstream Metal”
Metal Hammer UK
“It has real underlying guitar driven fury”
Classic Rock Magazine UK
Frontiers is now releasing this stunning debut worldwide with 2 bonus tracks. Pay attention: Furyon are destined to stardom!

Sakrah - entrevista com Dani Capra
Vamos conhecer um pouco da SAKRAH, uma banda brasileira, um dos
exemplos de dedicaçao e paixao pelo som , basta abrir o myspace e ver a qualidade
e seriedade de todos eles. Eu posso dizer que o Rock/Metal brasileiro esta sendo muito bem representado la fora, e esta banda seguramente sera mais um dos nossos grandes talentos que vai mostrar a força do Rock do Brasil para os estrangeiros.
DANI CAPRA: Nos conte um pouco sobre como nasceu a banda e como voces se conheceram.
CLIFF- Eu conheci o Sakrah através de um anuncio que estavam procurando por um baixista. Ai entrei em contato com o Ale, conversamos , e percebi que tínhamos a mesma visão. Marcamos um ensaio, e ai conheci o Marcelo B.A e na sequencia o Leandro. Foi neste ensaio que tive o primeiro contato com eles. É engraçado, porque quando começamos a tocar juntos, parecia que já tínhamos ensaiado a tempo, já éramos uma banda. Rolou uma grande química.
ALE- O Sakrah começou com a idéia de fazer um som que a gente gostava de ouvir, mas que não tinham bandas fazendo. Juntamos as ideias, Eu (Ale), Marcelo BA, Ed Chavez e Carol Miranda (ex vocal). Depois de alguns problemas pessoais, a Carol teve que sair da banda, entrando dias depois o Leandro Novo, que é o vocal até hoje. Após os dois primeiros shows, por motivo de trabalho, o Ed teve que deixar a banda, aí entrou o Cliff que assumiu de vez os baixos.
DANI CAPRA: Eu vi na internet que tem uma banda catolica chamada Sakra, ja aconteceu alguma confusao, pela semelhança de nomes?
ALE- Não, ainda não rolou nada .. inclusive só fiquei sabendo agora dessa banda ..rs, mas acho que por se tratar de coisas bem distintas, creio que não teremos problemas com isso.
DANI CAPRA: Na pagina da banda no dia 25/01 foi postado que voces finalizaram o baixo e agora estao na reta final das gravaçoes, nos fale um pouco sobre o novo album que esta vindo. Quais as expectativas?
CLIFF- Exato finalizamos os baixos, era a ultima parte do instrumental, agora falta o Leandro finalizar o vocal, na verdade, faltam 4 músicas para ele gravar. Então até a primeira semana de fevereiro, finalizamos o álbum por completo. E posso garantir, será um álbum com uma pegada única. Queremos com o álbum atingir o maior numero possível de pessoas, queremos tocar muito pelo Brasil .Divulgar muito , pois será o nosso primeiro bebe.(hehehe)
DANI CAPRA: O que a Sakrah tem de diferente das outras bandas para oferecer aos ouvintes de Rock Pesado?
CLIFF – Acredito que quando compomos, pensamos em algo pesado, forte. Não ficamos muito tempo perdendo em criar algo, sempre sentimos o riff, a pegada da bateria, baixo. Do jeito que gostaríamos de ver em uma banda. Se a música tiver esta pegada, já vamos dando vida a ela. Acho que isto diferencia. Queremos resgatar aquilo que sempre teve no rock, pegada, peso, sem muita frescura.E ao vivo isto se multiplica.
DANI CAPRA: Eu vi que varias bandas mudam sempre os integrantes, qual e a visao de voces sobre esta troca tao frequente? A Sakrah ja passou por outras formaçoes?
CLIFF- Bom , acho que isto é parte da formação, na identidade da banda. Se alguém esta em uma banda, mas não se identifica, com certeza não vai ficar muito tempo, não vai dar 100% de si ao trabalho. Claro que é complicado também quando uma banda grava vários álbuns e de repente, muda por exemplo, o vocalista, ai pode realmente perder aquela identidade que já tinha a tempo. Mas faz parte.
ALE – O Sakrah já passou por algumas mudanças, mas todas muito bem conversadas, sem brigas. Os motivos foram pessoais e não com a banda. Acho que isso acontece por vários motivos.. alguns deles pessoais, outras divergência de opiniões e interesse.
DANI CAPRA: Porque Sakrah?
ALE – Sem querer vai entrar em uma pergunta anterior... rs
A palavra SAKRAH vem sim de “sacramento”que se refere a religião, mas a idéia tivemos exatamente pra ser uma ironia as crenças e visões tão divergentes que esse assunto traz.
DANI CAPRA: Em 2009 o cenario undergraund era bastante complicado, de 2009 ate hoje em 2012, voces notaram alguma diferença? No que isso influenciou para o crescimento da banda?
CLIFF – Olha eu vejo que de 2009 para 2012 não mudou muito. Mas acredito que depois de 2011, com a avalanche de shows que tivemos por aqui, 2012 será um ano mais forte na cena. Acho que quando rolou o rock in rio em 2011 com bandas como Korzus (mesmo não tocando no palco principal) , Angra, sepultura, ajudou a mostrar a uma molecada mais jovem a força do metal nacional, mesmo sem uma grande extrutura por trás. Espero que em 2012 as coisas melhorem muito, que haja também mais união por parte de todos.
ALE- o Cliff disse tudo, porém, ainda acho que o que falta é apoio... público tem e muito!
DANI CAPRA: Quais sao suas influencias musicais?
CLIFF – Eu cresci ouvindo Black Sabbath, Motorhead, muito. Então eu tenho como influencia de baixo, estes grandes baixistas, Lemmy e Geezer. Depois veio o trash metal, ai veio Kreator que gosto muito, megadeth, Slayer.
ALE – Eu particularmente sempre ouvi muito Pantera, BLS, Ozzy, Machine Head, Black Sabbath, entre outras... Acho que a influência da banda é muito extensa, o B.A por exemplo, tem uma tattoo com o logo do Biohazard na perna, o Leandro já é fã incontestável de Iced Earth, Disturbed, etc. A banda é um mix de tudo isso.
DANI CAPRA: Quais as previsoes de tour para este ano de 2012?
ALE – Acabamos de fechar um contrato com a JaguahSoundsInternational, que é uma produtora Sueca que vai cuidar de nossas coisas na Europa. Isso já vai facilitar uma tour europeia, que já está em negociação.
Quanto ao Brasil, pretendemos ir ao maior número de cidades possível pra levar o som da banda. No começo em SP e interior, depois vamos vendo as oportunidades que aparecem.
DANI CAPRA: Ja fizeram shows ou tem vontade fazer fora do Brasil? Onde e por que?
CLIFF – Bom todo músico de rock, metal com certeza tem um sonho de poder tocar fora do Brasil, mostrar para os gringos o nosso potencial. Seria maravilhoso tocarmos , divulgarmos o Sakrah na Europa, E.U.A. Vamos trabalhar muito para isto. Tudo depende de muito trabalho, vontade , força.
ALE- Isso é sim um sonho, até pq o mercado lá fora é mais justo com o metal. Vai depender das negociações que estão em andamento. Acreditamos em ótimas noticias nesse ano!
DANI CAPRA: Muito obrigada por participarem.
CLIFF – Agradeço a Dominio do metal pela oportunidade, a Dani Capra pela força e oportunidade de poder divulgar o Sakrah. Obrigado
ALE – Agradeço em meu nome e em nome dos outros integrantes a oportunidade! São esses tipos de apoios que faltam no Brasil!

LULEY – Today’s Tomorrow Out: 27.04.2012
Label: AOR Heaven
Klaus Luley’s career consists of numerous highlights. Way back in the early 80’s of the last century he was the frontman of German based RCA recording artists TOKYO and put out three superb Melodic Rock albums. After the demise of the band he formed the band CRAAFT together with Reinhold Besser and Franz Keil. Switching to CBS Records they had a huge impact in touring with bands such as Queen, Marillion, Gary Moore, Level 42, Bon Jovi, Rod Stewart, Meat Loaf. Albums like their mighty debut ‘Craaft’ or ´Second honeymoon´ are still sought after in every rock collection.
Furthermore the experienced singer/songwriter has penned for many artists amongst Meat Loaf and been in the studio singing sessions with Donna Summer, Jennifer Rush or Giorgio Moroder. After meeting Producer Michael Voss (Mad Max, Michael Schenker) two years ago, they have been planning to record a full new album called “Today’s Tomorrow” with Luley’s songs to showcase his abilities.
The new label home was provided by Georg Siegl of AOR Heaven who always has been a fan of Luley and gave the whole project the kick off.

The new album “Rock’n’Roll Circus” could best be described as a reflective but modern influenced crossover between the roots of late 80s and early 90s melodic rock. Think Bon Jovi with a Nickelback kick, infused with his own signature, a powerfully stomping rhythm guitar section, addictive keyboards and catchy melody lines sung by lead vocalist, guitarist and RockDoc Rob Mancini.
Band:
Rob Mancini – Guitars, Bass, Synth & Programming, Backing Vocals
Aine Mancini – Backing Vocals
Recorded at GMG Studio One Ireland
Mastering by Harry Hess at Vespa Music Group Canada
The album was recorded at Robs GMG Studio One in Ireland, featuring 13 tracks including a cover version of Kate Bush’s “Running up that hill” and was mastered by Harry Hess (Harem Scarem) at Vespa Music Group Canada. Tour dates are in planning for 2012.
After almost a decade of recording abstinence, touring the Irish Club scene, Irelands German-Italian born rock musician and producer, Rob Mancini is back on track with the smash hit, “Edge of a broken heart” and the powerful ballad “Every time you Cry” from his new album “Rock’n'Roll Circus“.

IV Edição do Festival Vagos Open Air - Novas confirmações
IV EDIÇÃO DO FESTIVAL VAGOS OPEN AIR
3 E 4 DE AGOSTO - LAGOA DE CALVÃO - VAGOS
Os lendários AT THE GATES, pioneiros da New Wave Of Swedish Death Metal e uma das bandas mais influentes e aplaudidas no espectro da música extrema durante as últimas duas décadas, têm presença confirmada na IV Edição do Vagos Open Air. A organização do evento torna assim realidade o sonho mais selvagem de muitos fãs de metal, materializando uma há muito aguardada mas eternamente adiada estreia em território nacional e, simultaneamente, permitindo ao público testemunhar ao vivo um dos regressos mais badalados e bem-sucedidos dos últimos anos. Depois de um período de separação que durou mais de uma década, o colectivo formado por Tomas Lindberg, Anders Bjorler, Adrian Erlandsson, Jonas Bjorler e Martin Larsson voltou aos palcos com uma força contagiante e tem atuado, deste e do outro lado do Atlântico, para plateias totalmente rendidas à intensidade da sua música. Ao lado da seminal banda sueca – e dos previamente anunciados Arch Enemy, Arcturus,Overkill, Enslaved, Eluveitie, Textures, Chthonic e Northland – quem também vai passar pelo palco instalado na Lagoa de Galvão durante os dias 3 e 4 de Agosto vão ser os algarvios MINDLOCK, que voltaram ao ativo com um novo disco há dois anos e, desde então, têm assinado atuações explosivas em algumas das melhores salas e festivais do país.
É sempre triste ver um grupo de músicos separar-se, não há como negá-lo. No entanto, o luto torna-se mais complicado quando o grupo em questão é especial e está muito longe de ser apenas uma banda qualquer. Mesmo que as intenções sejam as melhores, mesmo que os músicos continuem a tocar e criem novos projetos, juntos ou separados. Há bandas que, dê lá por onde der, vão deixar saudades. Porque bandas há muitas, isso é verdade, mas não há muitas como os AT THE GATES. Foi isso que se percebeu quando, depois de um fulgurante percurso entre 1990 e 1996, o colectivo de Gotemburgo decidiu separar-se, numa altura em que estava no pico criativo depois de ter gravado o melhor disco da sua curta, mas intensa, carreira. Extenuados por um ciclo de gravações e digressões consecutivas, os músicos não se sentiram com inspiração para suplantar o que tinham feito e decidiram seguir caminhos separados. Envolveram-se todos em outros grupos – como os The Haunted, Cradle Of Filth ou Disfear – mas foi o incontornável «Slaughter Of The Soul» que os transformou em lendas e colocou o nome do grupo no panteão da música pesada. Porta-estandartes do death metal melódico escandinavo que também deu ao mundo nomes como os In Flames e Arch Enemy, revolucionaram todo um género e serviram de inspiração a uma nova geração de músicos apostados em recriar a genialidade do riff da incontornável «Blinded By Fear».
Os algarvios Mindlock irromperam pelo underground já na recta final dos anos 90, uma altura em que a produção nacional estava a ganhar uma nova força, e não demoraram muito a transformar-se num fenómeno entre os apreciadores de metal mais moderno e musculado, injetado com nervo hardcore e as doses certas de balanço e melodia. Tocaram tanto quanto puderam, ganharam concursos pelo país e, quando se estrearam com o EP «Manifesto», já tinham construído um burburinho considerável à sua volta. Rotulada com uma das grandes sensações do underground à altura, a banda de Faro fez as primeiras aparições ao lado de nomes internacionais como Slipknot, Dimmu Borgir ou Behemoth. Com «Ego Trip», o álbum de estreia, foram recebidos com aplausos por parte do público e também da crítica, o disco foi considerado um dos melhores do ano dentro do género. Seguiram-se concertos, mais concertos e, depois, silêncio. Os quatro músicos – Francisco Aragão na guitarra, Carlos Vilhena na voz, Amadis Monteiro na bateria e Miguel Santos no baixo – estiveram quase três anos a preparar o que viria a ser o seu segundo álbum. Depois de terem de enfrentar uma imensidão de problemas e de sete longos anos de espera, «Enemy Of Silence» foi finalmente editado em 2010, dando continuidade ao percurso de um projeto que continua a defender as suas cores com unhas e dentes.
Os bilhetes custam 30,00 euros (diário) e 50,00 euros (passe dois dias) à venda nos locais habituais.

Iron Maiden announce "Maiden England World Tour" with extensive dates in North America this summer
Very Special Guest Alice Cooper to July 21, Coheed and Cambria after July 21.
Following the massively successful Final Frontier World Tour 2010-11, IRON MAIDEN are back on the road this summer with a series of Arena, Amphitheatre and Festival shows in the U.S.A. and Canada, opening in Charlotte, NC, U.S.A. on June 21, and finishing in Houston, TX, on Aug 18 (dates listed below), to be followed by further dates around the World in 2013. The MAIDEN ENGLAND WORLD TOUR will closely mirror, in terms of production and content, the original 1988 concert video of the same name, shot on the “Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son Tour”. This opening section of the World Tour is the band’s most extensive visit to North America for many years and includes a number of cities the ba! nd have not played in a very long time, such as Charlotte, Atlanta, Buffalo, Indianapolis and Salt Lake City.
In most venues, tickets will go on sale on March 2 and 3 but watch this site or check local venue information for fuller details. Fan Club members should check outironmaiden.com for exclusive first day ticket presales and contest to be ‘First To The Barrier’.
MAIDEN ENGLAND marks the third chapter in the History of Iron Maiden, a journey which began in 2004 with The Early Days DVD and subsequent 2005 Early Days Tour. Part Two followed in 2008 with the Live After Death DVD - the seminal 1984 concert recorded at Long Beach Arena (L.A) during the World Slavery Tour - and the band embarking on their groundbreaking Somewhere Back In Time World Tour 2008/9, which saw them play to over two million fans in almost 40 countries.
Comments vocalist Bruce Dickinson, “We have great fun playing the History of Maiden Tours because it gives us an opportunity between new albums to go out and play songs from our earlier catalogue. It’s always fantastic seeing the crowd reaction from a new generation of fans who have never experienced some of these tracks performed live before, and of course we know our longstanding fans will enjoy seeing the original Seventh Son Tour re-visited - with many other surprises! Our intention is to play about two thirds of the original track list of Maiden England (shown below*), including some songs we have not played live in a very,very long time, plus other favourites we just know the fans are going to want to hear! We always try to give our fans a great show musically, but we have always tried to make it as entertaining and memorable ! an experience as we can visually. And we all feel this show is going to do that splendidly! We can't wait to get started in Charlotte”.
Iron Maiden are delighted to announce that the extraordinary and legendary Alice Cooper will be their Very Special Guest on all shows up to July 21. After that date, Special Guest will be Coheed and Cambria, the inspiring, cutting edge band from New York.
Iron Maiden continue to be actively dedicated to ensuring their fans always have full access to the best possible tickets in the fairest possible way. Manager Rod Smallwood comments:
“We are trying to ensure that our fans get the tickets they want in the prime positions without paying over the odds to ticket scalpers. Maiden get infuriated with the way fans sometimes have to pay more than the ticket price to get good positions at our shows. So we will, wherever possible (Festivals excluded), with the assistance of the Promoters, arrange a paperless ticketing system at least for the front sections to try to eliminate as much of the ticket scalping and exchanges as we can. We put this into practice on our North American Tour in 2010; it worked well and we received many positive comments back from our fans, so we intend to increase this where feasible. With paperless ticketing, only those who actually pay initially for the tickets will get into the show so scalping is generally avoided (please see the comments from Ticketmaster below). We are also doing! everything we can to avoid any drain of prime tickets going to the Secondary Ticketing sites which we feel make unfair profits from music fans.
As we consider all our fans to be VIPs, no tickets will be held specifically for VIP use. At some venues, the Promoter may provide the option for fans to pay extra for “VIP Parking”, early access, access to “VIP Bar” etc. But these will be purely optional for ticket holders only and will not be tied to ticket locations – the ability to get the best tickets should be the same for everybody outside of the usual presales.
Finally, we are of course once again arranging exclusive ticket pre-sales for our fan club members so they can be quick off the mark for great tickets and will also continue to run the contest in appropriate venues for fan club members so they can be ‘First To The Barrier’ prior to the show. We hope that these measures will help our fans as much as possible and ask that they keep checking for details on our website.”
TICKETMASTER comments:
Where possible the North American Iron Maiden shows will operate a paperless ticket policy. Select tickets will be sold via Ticketmaster’s Paperless Ticket delivery, which means fans will not receive a physical concert ticket for their entry into the event. Buying paperless helps ensure fans have secure and convenient access to event tickets at the intended original sale price. On the day of show, concert goers just need to bring the credit card they used for the ticket purchase and a government-issued photo ID to the concert. All members of the ticket purchaser's party must be present at the same time to enter the venue. The venue’s ticket usher will swipe their credit card upon entry and present each person in their party with seat locator slips for quick access into the show. To purchase paperless tickets or for more information, fans should visitwww.ticketmaster.com/paperless or call the Ticketmaster charge-by-phone number at 1-800-745-3000.

Our intention is to play about two thirds of the original track list of Maiden England (shown below*), including some songs we have not played live in a very,very long time, plus other favourites we just know the fans are going to want to hear! We always try to give our fans a great show musically, but we have always tried to make it as entertaining and memorable ! an experience as we can visually. And we all feel this show is going to do that splendidly! We can't wait to get started in Charlotte”.
Iron Maiden are delighted to announce that the extraordinary and legendary Alice Cooper will be their Very Special Guest on all shows up to July 21. After that date, Special Guest will be Coheed and Cambria, the inspiring, cutting edge band from New York.
Iron Maiden continue to be actively dedicated to ensuring their fans always have full access to the best possible tickets in the fairest possible way. Manager Rod Smallwood comments:
“We are trying to ensure that our fans get the tickets they want in the prime positions without paying over the odds to ticket scalpers. Maiden get infuriated with the way fans sometimes have to pay more than the ticket price to get good positions at our shows. So we will, wherever possible (Festivals excluded), with the assistance of the Promoters, arrange a paperless ticketing system at least for the front sections to try to eliminate as much of the ticket scalping and exchanges as we can. We put this into practice on our North American Tour in 2010; it worked well and we received many positive comments back from our fans, so we intend to increase this where feasible. With paperless ticketing, only those who actually pay initially for the tickets will get into the show so scalping is generally avoided (please see the comments from Ticketmaster below). We are also doing! everything we can to avoid any drain of prime tickets going to the Secondary Ticketing sites which we feel make unfair profits from music fans.
As we consider all our fans to be VIPs, no tickets will be held specifically for VIP use. At some venues, the Promoter may provide the option for fans to pay extra for “VIP Parking”, early access, access to “VIP Bar” etc. But these will be purely optional for ticket holders only and will not be tied to ticket locations – the ability to get the best tickets should be the same for everybody outside of the usual presales.
Finally, we are of course once again arranging exclusive ticket pre-sales for our fan club members so they can be quick off the mark for great tickets and will also continue to run the contest in appropriate venues for fan club members so they can be ‘First To The Barrier’ prior to the show. We hope that these measures will help our fans as much as possible and ask that they keep checking for details on our website.”
TICKETMASTER comments:
Where possible the North American Iron Maiden shows will operate a paperless ticket policy. Select tickets will be sold via Ticketmaster’s Paperless Ticket delivery, which means fans will not receive a physical concert ticket for their entry into the event. Buying paperless helps ensure fans have secure and convenient access to event tickets at the intended original sale price. On the day of show, concert goers just need to bring the credit card they used for the ticket purchase and a government-issued photo ID to the concert. All members of the ticket purchaser's party must be present at the same time to enter the venue. The venue’s ticket usher will swipe their credit card upon entry and present each person in their party with seat locator slips for quick access into the show. To purchase paperless tickets or for more information, fans should visitwww.ticketmaster.com/paperless or call the Ticketmaster charge-by-phone number at 1-800-745-3000.

WIG WAM RETURNS WITH WORLD-WIDE RELEASE ”WALL STREET”
Wig Wam is due to release the new single ”Wall Street” February 24th ,2012 on Frontiers Records. “Wall Street” is taken from the forthcoming album with the same title, which will be released this spring.
“Wall Street” is the story of a musician who trade his guitar for a company brand to make his fortune in the stock market. It’s got the recipe of a great Wig Wam ”Smash Hit” and is everything you expect from these guys!!!!!!!
WIG WAM was founded late 2000 after finding back to their personal musical roots as a jam band. Covering songs that inspired them to pick up instruments in the first place gave birth to Wig Wam, and February 24th 2001 they kickstarted their now 9 year old Wig Wamtical journey. After 2 years on the road the bands followers was increasing rapidly in their home country Norway. But they were yet to be accepted by the music business. Taking notice of the feedback received from their live audience the band recorded their first album “667…The Neighbour of The Beast” on their own expenses, WIG WAM shocked their countrymen by joining the Norwegian Eurovision Song contest final to promote themselves on account of no promo budget. WIG WAM suddenly became a household name in Norway after turning the contest into a rock concert rather than a song-contest. But it wasn’t until 2005 WIG WAM would enjoy their major breakthrough. Being invited back to the Eurovision Song contest WIG WAM pulled it off big time.
IN MY DREAMS was released 2 days after their victory and went straight to #1 on the national charts, where it stayed for over 21 weeks and sold platinum. Their new edition of “667..” now titled “HARD TO BE A ROCK’N ROLLER” Stayed on the charts for 19 weeks and also became platinum. WIG WAM was suddenly making headlines by introducing Hard Rock to the international Eurovision Song contest Final were they made #9 a victory for a the whole Hard Rock genre.
“HARD TO BE A ROCK’N ROLLER” and the smash hit “IN MY DREAMS” put WIG WAM on the map, and led the band to a victorious tour that counted 187 concerts in just a year. The tour took WIG WAM through Norway, Sweden, Germany, Iceland and England.
Midway through the tour WIG WAM also recorded a one-off show with an symphonic orchestra for their debut Dvd “Rock’n Roll Revolution” which was released in November 2005. The DVD soon became a Gold Dvd and topped the Norwegian Dvd charts.
In 2006 WIG WAM went straight from the road to the studio and recorded their follow up, WIG WAMANIA. WIG WAMANIA was released February 17th and and the band immediately found themselves back on the road on their WIG WAMANIA TOUR which also took the band to Japan for the first time. WIG WAMS tourdates in the land of the rising sun was recorded, and ended up being released in 2007 on both the double cd “Live In Tokyo” and the Dvd“Made In Japan”. Later that year WIG WAM returned to Japan as one of the major acts on the Loud Park Festival bill. Which was later broadcasted on MTV Japan.
WIG WAM took a break through 2008 which gave the band members a chance to pursue other individual activities. Flash worked with his former band Artch. Teeny recorded his forthcoming Dracula concept album “Swing of Death” as well as returning to his former band Dream Police. Glam toured with his Queen show The Show Must Go On and released his second album GLAMunition.
In 2009 the band got together again to start working on their third studio album NON STOP ROCK’N ROLL. WIG WAM spent most of the summer in Teenys studio The Rock Ranch to record the 11 tracks that makes the first WIG WAM album to be released simultaneously in whole Europe and Japan. The Album was a huge success for the band sold to Gold Award in Norway, and also took them all around the world, including tours in USA, Japan and rest of Europe.
“WALL STREET” is the title of WIG WAM’s new single, and also the name of the forthcoming album. Fans will not be disappointed as WIG WAM still present them with classic & catchy choruses. It’s melodic Hard Rock - Blowing your speakers with full blown Rock’n roll anthems!

Swedish Sleaze Rock Masters CRAZY LIXX ready to rock again with “Riot Avenue”
Frontiers Records is excited to announce the release date of CRAZY LIXX anticipated third studio album entitled “Riot Avenue” on April 20th in Europe and April 24th in North America.
Almost an exact decade after vocalist Danny Rexon and ex-guitarist Vic Zino (now in Hardcore Superstar) started playing together under the name Crazy Lixx, the band is about to release what, without a doubt, is their strongest and most focused album. “Riot Avenue” includes 11 track hard rocking tracks that appeals both to the old fans, as well as a new crowd with its faster tempo and riff-based approach.
"We've been trying to make this album heavier than our previous releases and this time it meant doing it ourselves. We haven't been using an external producer but just listened to what we wanted and what we felt would be the right step to take… and if you ask me, we've nailed it. Can't wait to let people hear our new stuff!" - says vocalist and sole remaining founding member Danny Rexon.
At the same time the band is once again decimated down to three members with the recent departure of drummer Joél Cirera and bass player Loke Rivano (both featured on the new album) and the remaining members will look long and hard to replace the rhythm section, before the tour starts in the late spring of 2012.
"This seems to be a curse that Crazy Lixx suffers more often than other bands. When I joined, the band had just lost their guitarist a month after the release of the first album and now even before we started recording this album Joél stated it would be the last album with Crazy Lixx for him and along the way we also lost Loke." - says guitarist Andy Dawson, who joined the band in 2008.
With the addition of another guitarist Edd Liam, Crazy Lixx has also gone for a slightly different style when it comes to the songwriting, especially around the guitar parts and riffs.
"Since there's two of us now (guitar players), we felt that we could do stuff that wasn't possible on the previous albums, especially if we wanted to be able to perform the songs the same way live. This time we've added a lot more twin guitar work and also thought more about how the songs on the album would transfer to the stage in the best way possible." - says guitar player and newest member Edd Liam.
Crazy Lixx were among the first bands to emerge in what has been known as "The New Wave of Swedish Sleaze" along with Crashdïet, Hardcore Superstar, Babylon Bombs and Vains of Jenna but just like their fellow genre-mates, Crazy Lixx have now created their own style and with Riot Avenue they are now ready to show it to the world!
The first single “In The Night” will be exclusively distributed in Sweden through Sweden Rock Magazine in the issue that will hit the streets on March 19th. This special release will include two exclusive acoustic bonus tracks (unavailable elsewhere) : “Riot Avenue” and “Fire It Up”. Digital release will happen worldwide on the same date, but without the bonus acoustic tracks.
“Riot Avenue” will include the following songs:Whiskey Tango Foxtrot; Young Blood; Riot Avenue; Fire It Up; Downtown; In The Night; Church Of Rock; Heatseeker; Sweet, Bad & Beautiful; Be Gone; Only The Dead Know.
