Formed amidst the Steelworks town of Corby, Northamptonshire, their very own first chapter was born: ‘Chapter One’ and set the scene for Viking Skull. Top notch reviews were abundant and a landmark 11/10 review from Metal Hammer lead the band to secure a busy touring schedule supporting the likes of Alice Cooper, HIM, Clutch and Dio! 2005 saw Viking Skull release ‘Born in Hell’  but we believe a bottle or two of Absinthe is to blame for what then became a two year break… isn’t it always!

No doubt POINTERS HEAD belongs to the live bands, they not only open a barrel, they shut it again! And they do this with an intensity that all immediately makes it clear in which direction it goes: next! After ten years finding, patience, development and hard work, place 2 in the category ‘ hard’n’heavy of the “German Rock & Pop Award can 2006” and successfully seasoned European Tour 2008 with L. A. Guns, POINTERSHEAD enters now, perfectly positioned, the entire world with the concept album “Worst Case SOCIETY” into the socially battered face. With a remarkably rich sound, distinctive 80he influences and a brimful scoop of pressure, recruited POINTERS HEAD evening for evening tirelessly supporters of the head army. It shall be closed to focus these days on a world, which overruns us again and again with pursuing crosses. POINTERSHEAD takes degree and hits the bullseye. And the head army moves with “Worst Case Society” through the countries and mobilised to cogiatation and dissenting.

We’re finally ready to complete the project, but are in need of procuring additional  funding to make it happen. We’ve been working in a great studio in Conversano (BA Italy) with top gear, engineers and with the Michael C. Ross offline consulence (L.A. engineer producer of world famous artists like Christina Aguilera, Vanessa Carlton and many other). Our album will feature 10 tracks of our best songs + 2 covers.

We´ve also produced our first video that proved to be a massive amount of work we’ re very proud of today. For this we must thank the guys from Basix Communication and all of our friends that gave us an hand. The result it´s amazing. You’ll see it very soon before campaign end!

The last Steve Cichon album I heard was 2010’s “Cranial Feedback”, a release that was full of skill and technique, but ultimately not that exciting. New one “Heavy Sleeper” is a similar beast, though fortunately the adrenaline levels are pumped up several notches making it a lot more then mere background music.

The sound is still a combination of jazz, prog metal, hard rock and occasional electronica, but a lot more effort has been put into the variety and the spunkiness of the rhythms this time. Gone are the stupid live crowd effects, gone are the very fake drums, being replaced by fake but considerably better percussion sounds. The result is enthusiastic, interesting and a lot more energetic than the guy on the artwork.

Now…

BLACK WIDOW, the ground breaking, occult, orgiastic progressive hard rock group who were banned by the BBC and besieged by religious nutters when they originally emerged in 1970, return to the Sabbat in 2011 with a brand new studio album, Sleeping With Demons, released on October 31st, distributed by Cargo Records.

Sleeping With Demons, which marks a massive return to the black magic roots Black Widow know so well, is packed with anthemic rock songs, huge chants, soaring hooks, and a story line with a host of new black magic stories to tell. Written, performed, and produced by Clive Jones and Geoff Griffith, Sleeping With Demons also features special guests Tony Martin (lead singer with BLACK SABBATH from 1987 to 1997), Kay Garret and Paolo ‘Apollo’ Negri.

4 Sleaze Now…

After working in the music- and entertainment business all their lives, Steven, Kim, Johnny and Joe Sleaze decided that it was time to fully commit to the sleazy, glammy, punky rock n’ roll that they had grown up with and that they love. With influences such as Guns N’ Roses, Mötley Crüe, AC/DC, Kiss and the Ramones as well as Green Day, Foo Fighters and the Backyard Babies the band focuses on energetic live performances and strong, hooky choruses. On their very first gig they supported Hardcore Superstar and their third gig was at the Sweden Rock Festival! Sleazy Joe released the debut EP “Rock Star” in 2007, and now the fullength live CD/DVD “Close Enough For Rock N’ Roll… LIVE!” is finally here

Now…

Here’s another first for April, Juggernaut is my first experience with Texas metal band All Too Human. It appears that this album has been sometime in the making. We last heard from the band in 2002. The core members remain: Clint Wilson (g), Maurice Taylor (b), and Chris Lucci (d). They’ve borrowed Gordon Tittsworth from Images of Eden on vocals. (Lucci also plays drums for Images of Eden.)

With one spin I’ll admit I was skeptical. Juggernaut is a rather diverse and dark album. To the former, you’ll hear a variety of influences informing the prog, including traditional heavy metal, power metal, and modern hard rock. As to the latter, the heaviness unleashed here gives the album a weighty brooding quality. The best pieces are the bookends of the title track and the revamped instrumental Arrythmia, from 2002’s Entropy.
