Metal Guitar Master
Joe Stump will release
his 9th solo album entitled "Revenge Of The Shredlord"
through Lion Music on 17th August 2012.
The album was engineered and mixed by Grammy award winning
engineer Ducky Carlise (Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter) and
mastered by Maor Appelbaum (Halford, Yngwie Malmsteen,
Armored Saint, Angra, Sepultura) at Appelbaum mastering.
Joe comments:
"The new record's heavy, very dark and
classically influenced, with the usual mix of strong
melodies and fierce metal riffage that are a constant on all
my previous releases. This is without a doubt my best effort
both sonically and guitar playing wise . I can't wait til
it's unleashed".
"Revenge Of The Shredlord" contains the following track
listing.
01. The Ritual Begins.
02. Man Your Battlestations.
03. Pistoleros.
04. Shredlord's Sonata.
05. Master's Prelude.
06. In The Master's House.
07. The Black Knight's Castle.
08. Enter The Coven.
09. Evil Beasts Below.
10. Strat Outa Hell.
11. White Knuckle Mayhem.

Perhaps better known as the keyboardist and musical
mastermind behind Twinspirits, Genius Rock Opera, Cosmics
and Khymera; the multi-talented Daniele Liverani is also a
guitarist of considerable skill as his new instrumental
album "Eleven Mysteries" will testify on
20th July 2012
(Lion Music).
While “Eleven Mysteries” is basically a guitar oriented
album, the overall vibe of all the songs is definitely more
like a “conceptual instrumental album” where guitar has the
role of a “virtual singer”.
Musically there's some intense shred, but also some very
melodic moments, and the musicianship and arrangements of
the talented line up involved helped to create a wide
variety of atmospheres and different musical moments; due to
the skills and different influences of the various musicians
- drummer Paco Barilla’, bassist Tony Dickinson and
keyboardist Marco Zago.
However, this not only an album for guitar lovers, but for
anyone that appreciates musical composition on a more
general level with lots to discover in and each and every
track along with a first class production.
Coming Soon

Swedish melodic hard rockers House of
Shakira are pleased to unveil the promo video for the track
‘Carry My Load’. The track marks the second of three videos
to be shot for songs from their current album, the
critically acclaimed ‘HoS’ and can be viewed at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnHZIDqdF20
House of Shakira’s current album ‘HoS’
has been winning the band considerable worldwide praise from
press and fans both old and new alike with many calling it
their best yet and a serious contender for melodic rock
album of 2012.
Now the band is pleased to introduce the first of three
promotional videos to be released over the next 3 months.
The first track to get the video treatment is ‘Zodiac
Maniac’, a buoyant rocker which does a good job of
representing the bands new tougher sound whilst still
retaining their classic rich vocal harmonies and eastern
tinged riffs which became the bands trademark on albums like
‘Lint’ and ‘First Class’.
We have just received the finished master of the new
Venturia album. We are blown away by the
quality of musicianship, song writing and production that
the French metallers have produced.
Look out for
full info and a stunning promotional video soon.
Some unfortunate
news that affects Awake.
FUSED FESTIVAL 2012 CANCELLED
It is with great regret that we must announce the
cancellation of Fused Festival for 2012.
We started the festival last year knowing that it would take
several years for the event to become established. However,
against expectation, ticket sales for this year's festival
are considerably down on last year's and we simply cannot
afford to continue with the event. As things are, we will
sustain a very considerable loss; continuing would be
utterly disastrous.
Full refunds for tickets purchased will be made over the
next few weeks; please bear with us as we have to sort out
all the implications of cancelling.
I cannot express how sad I personally feel at having to make
this decision.
Kind regards
Huw Lloyd-Jones
