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.

Italian rockers Ratzmataz have uploaded the title track from their upcoming debut album ‘Global Revolution’, due to come out on April 2nd via logic(il)logic Records.
Ratzmataz was founded in April 2006 by the great passion for rock ‘n’ roll shared by Martino Pighi (drums) and Loris Marchiori (guitar and vocals) over the last ten years. With the addition of Diego Franchini (bass and background vocals), the trio worked hard on song-writing, unwilling to be labeled as a cover band, and the first eight tracks were finished in less than one month.

NOW…wow!

While waiting for ACT to get their thumbs out and release a follow up to the appropriately entitled “Silence”, please welcome Time Code Alpha. Ok, in all honesty, Time Code Alpha shall be seen as no substitute for ACT, we are talking a new highly interesting band with its own sound but in the same genre here. Time Code Alpha features the undisputed talents of former Biscaya singer Mads Clausen, guitaristPeter Lazar and bass player Ken Sandin who has been seen in bands like Alien, DaVinci, Transport League etc.
