Sinds hun debuut EP uit 1982 lag deze band me steeds nauw aan het hart, tot aan Empire ((1991). Daarna ging het snel en steil bergaf. Frisse wind kwam er na de split met hun origenele frontman Geoff Tate en het aantrekken van zijn vervanger Todd La Torre in 2012. Potten breken zat er echter ook dan niet in. Afgaand op de nieuwe single Man The Machine komt daar héél misschien op 1 maart verandering in. The Verdict wordt aan het Belgische publiek voorgesteld tijdens het Alcatraz Festival. Een introductie. Queensrÿche first burst onto the music scene in 1982 with the release of their self-titled 4 song EP “Queensrÿche”. They very quickly gained international recognition and performed to sold out audiences around the world. With the follow up first full length album “The Warning” in 1984, and the ground breaking 1986 release of “Rage For Order”, Queensrÿche continued to prove their worldwide dominance as one of the most respected and creative bands of the 80’s. In 1988 the band turned out yet another monumental album “Operation: Mindcrime”, which would go on to become one of the TOP 10 best selling concepts records of all time, and set the stage for continued sold out performances around the world. With the release of the critically acclaimed and commercially successful “Empire” in 1991, the band earned multiple Grammy Award nominations and won the MTV “viewers choice” award for the #1 chart topping hit “Silent Lucidity”. During the next ten years, the band continued to release albums and tour the world to sold out audiences. Queensrÿche has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and have continued to break new ground and push their creative process. The band have just announced their newest album "The Verdict" out March 1st via Century Media Records. The band’s forthcoming release was produced, mixed and mastered by Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Iced Earth, Hatebreed) at Uberbeatz in Lynwood, WA, Planet-Z in Wilbraham, MA and Watershed Studio in Seattle, WA. Pre-orders and formats will be announced soon. In the meantime, the band has a Pledge pre-order campaign currently running here. website #music #muziek #sounds #newmusic #newsong #queensrÿche #manthemachine #theverdict #centurymediarecords

Die nieuwe Tool laat (opnieuw) op zich wachten, maar niet getreurd: uit hetzelfde vaatje tappen deze rockers uit Finland/VK. Hun debuut Moving Backwards verschijnt op 22 februari 2019. Alvast genoteerd voor een review. Een introductie. “Life is like a wheel. Sooner or later, it always come around to where you started again.” – Stephen King Looking back through history, the best music has always been born of brave acts of courage. It’s something Wheel frontman James Lascelles knows more than most, having relocated over a thousand miles from England to Finland to pursue music as a career. After meetingsomelikeminded musicians in Helsinki– namely bassist Mikko Määttä, drummer Santeri Saksala and guitarist Saku Mattila, eventually replaced by Roni Seppänen – Wheel was born. Now, following on from the overwhelming success of their The Path and The Divide EPs, the quartet will be releasing their debut album Moving Backwards on February 22nd, 2019. It’s an expansive and mind-melting collage of progressive rock, grunge and film score that twists and turns in ways no band have ever done before... “We’re not really sure where we fit,” shrugs singer/guitarist James. “Or whether it’s metal or it’s rock, because it’s both... or neither ha ha! Well it’s both, one or the other depending which point in the track you’re up to. Karnivool are one of my favourite bands of all-time, as well as Radiohead and even Alice In Chains for some of the riffs. Fans of those kinds of groups will definitely understand what we’re trying to do. I guess with us, instead of the never- ending wait for that next Tool album, we thought we’d just make what we’d want to hear!” As it turned out, they weren’t the only ones seeking such creative endeavours and word quickly spreading of their knack for time-defying grooves, heavyweight orchestration and dark surrealism. Dissecting the media’s portrayal of the nightmarish inhumanities of the Syrian refugee crisis on early single Please, they established themselves as a group very much unafraid to speak out. This time round, they’re holding their magnifying glass up to censorship and institutionalised mind control – an epidemic that’s sweeping that world, affecting just about every single human on the face of the Earth... “The jumping off point was a podcast I was watching where Sam Harris was talking to Joe Rogan about this imagined future,” explains James, in between dates of their November tour with Finnish progressive folk titans Amorphis. “They covered censorship in academia, which is becoming increasingly common in the States. If it continues, filtering out into films, comedy and music – we’ll end up in a place where nobody can say anything anymore. The lyrics I wrote for Tyrant – with lines like ‘silence will become the banner’ – are heralding what’s to come, though I’m hoping we can nip it in the bud before it gets there. On this album, rather than looking at environmental or economic dystopia, we’re anticipating more of a more social one.” With what could very well be the rock debut of its year under their belts, dates with Swedish art-rockers Soen [featuring ex-Opeth drummer Martin Lopez] and festival appearance keeping them busy throughout summer, 2019 will be a landmark time for the quartet. Get ready for the year of Wheel. website #music #muziek #sounds #newmusic #newsong #wheel #vultures #movingbackwards #finland #uk

Dat ze in Scandinavië sterk zijn in Classic Rock weten we ondertussen (Graveyard anyone?). Ook Riot Horse tappen uit dat '70s vaatje met invloeden van Led Zeppelin over Mountain tot de Black Crowes. Op 26 oktober kwam hun album Cold Hearted Woman uit. Een introductie. "In 2006 the danish/swedish heavy band Sons Of Tomorrow deicided to take a long time break. Guitarist Neil Schuttman have had a vision for many years. To set up a new heavyrock band with a more classic sound. The inspiration came from bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and The Black Crowes. Bluesy, heavy riffing and groovy. He did not hesitate. Just a couple of of weeks after Sons Of Tomorrow annoncement he called some musicans and asked to join. Some of them were old Sons Of Tomorrow fellows and some of them were new friends. After jamming the new ideas everyone knew that this should not only be a project, this should be serious, they were on a mission to show the people out there what rock n' roll is all about. Riot Horse have found their style. Classic heavy rock that kicks ass, straight from the heart!! Dirty, groovy and sexy!" website #music #muziek #sounds #newmusic #newsong #riothorse
