Few Bands in the history of Rock N’ Roll have ever incited the love, the hate, the raw emotional effect this Band has had on the world. From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live, the Band’s unique style of Shock and Rock caused Religious organizations, Local City Councils, Parliaments, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played. The band’s founding member, frontman Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for 4 decades.

New Music From Frontiers Music Srl - HAREM SCAREM - "Chasing Euphoria"

Canadian hard rock legends HAREM SCAREM return triumphantly with their explosive new album, 'Chasing Euphoria.' Building on their decades of melodic mastery, the band delivers power-packed riffs and unforgettable hooks that showcase why they remain among the genre's heavyweights after nearly four decades. This carefully crafted release represents their first new material in five years, combining classic sound with renewed musical vigor. Vocalist Harry Hess comments on the new single, by saying: “The song “Chasing Euphoria” encapsulates everything about Harem Scarem from the late 80’s to 2025. This is the flagship song from our new record, and we are very excited for everyone to hear it”. Harem Scarem are finally back with their anticipated return album “Chasing Euphoria”, their first new album in 5 years. Their new record is an absolute belter for all Melodic Hard Rock fans and shows clearly why, when a discussion arises on who are the current heavyweights of the melodic hard rock scene, the list of names being bantered about cannot avoid a mention of Harem Scarem. “Chasing Euphoria” brings back the band’s classic sound and shows a band at the top of their game. A cohesive unit still able to deliver a power-rock-packed punch, swaggering riffs, and hooks to die for. Harry Hess and Pete Lesperance, without a doubt, show the world that their partnership still works! Arguably Canada’s finest melodic hard rock band, Harem Scarem were formed in 1987 by guitarist Pete Lesperance and singer Harry Hess, formerly of the heavy metal band Blind Vengeance. The lineup was rounded out by Darren Smith (drums) and Mike Gionet (bass). They recorded a demo in 1999 and, on the strength of it, they were signed to Warner Music. Their self-titled album was a significant success in Canada and paved the way to the release of the heavier “Mood Swings” album in 1993, often considered the crown jewel of their early releases. Enjoying a particular success in the land of the Rising Sun, Harem Scarem kept on releasing albums regularly during the 90’s, until they decided to ultimately change their name and music style to Rubber between 1999 and 2001. In 2002, the band came back to melodic hard rock with the milestone album “Weight Of The World,” which was their first proper release in the European marketplace thanks to their newly signed deal with Frontiers. With the Italian label, Harem Scarem released another five original albums (not counting 2006’s “Human Nature”) until they took a break from recording in 2008 after the release of the album “Hope”. In December 2012, it was announced that a reunited Harem Scarem would headline the 10th Firefest festival in Nottingham, UK, in October 2013, to perform the “Mood Swings” album in its entirety. The band regrouped and performed at Firefest and moved forward re-recording “Mood Swings II”, a twenty-year anniversary re-recording of their critically acclaimed and fan favorite second album. The three new songs included on that release showed renewed musical vigor and chemistry. This new energy was confirmed on 2014's “Thirteen” release, which was a definitive return to the sound that put Harem Scarem on the map over 20 years earlier. Two more acclaimed albums followed: “United” (2017) and “Change The World” (2020), where the band presented a new lineup featuring Harry Hess (lead vocals, keyboards), Pete Lesperance (guitars, keyboards), long-time drummer Creighton Doane, Mike Vassos on bass, and backing vocals from original sticksman Darren Smith. With well over a million records sold in 43 countries and 12 top 40 hits around the globe, the new year will see Harem Scarem return and ready to dominate! Check them on tour in Europe in spring! “Chasing Euphoria” Tracklist: 1. Chasing Euphoria 2. Better The Devil You Know 3. Slow Burn 4. Gotta Keep Your Head Up 5. World On Fire 6. Bad Way 7. Reliving History 8. A Falling Knife 9. Understand It All 10. Wasted Years Line Up: Harry Hess - Lead & Backing Vocals, Keyboards Pete Lesperance - Guitars and Bass Creighton Doane - Drums Darren Smith - Lead and Backing Vocals Follow HAREM SCAREM: Facebook Instagram

Kardashev Unleashes "Seed of the Night" Video / Single

"Seed Of The Night" is the latest single from progressive deathgaze alchemists, KARDASHEV. The emotional new track comes off the band's Alunea full-length, set for release on April 25th on Metal Blade Records. Alunea is a direct sequel to the events of The Almanac and picks up right where the song "Beyond Sun And Moon" leaves off. Vocalist Mark Garrett comments, "The first releases in The KARDASHEV Mythos were broad and conceptual, but they've morphed into something more granular and specific. Alunea tells the story of the main character from The Almanac album meeting a being created in the song 'Continuum' from the Excipio album. Their meeting is a philosophical examination of where responsibility and duty intersect. We don't try to answer those questions, but we do examine them deeply in this album." The eight sonically and lyrically immersive songs on Alunea have set yet another high-water mark for KARDASHEV. Known as the progenitors of the "deathgaze" genre, that descriptor is evolving as the band continually explores and pushes boundaries. "Words you could use to describe our music are 'atmospheric, progressive, emotional, dynamic, and contrast," explains drummer Sean Lang. "Our music attempts to sonically portray the emotions of anger and sorrow which creates a palpable but natural dynamic contrast." "Alunea has much more experimentation when compared to previous releases," adds Garrett. "It's a very proggy album." Music has always been a universal language, but KARDASHEV creates their own lyrical language, adding depth and meaning. "I've loved tinkering with languages since I was a little kid," says Garrett. "I'm not an expert when it comes to constructed languages, often referred to as 'conlangs,' but I find language to be a really interesting aspect of humanity." "I was dabbling in the beginnings of the language of Alunea years before we added it to our record The Almanac," he continues. "I would sit at my desk at work - a call center at the time - and make up interesting grammatical rules to pass the time. One of my favorites was having the length of a vowel add plurality to a word. I didn't create that concept, but it was fun to play with. Years later when Nico and our previous bassist suggested I bring my interest in conlangs to our music, the vowel length concept was what I started with. It all grew from there." The new album and band also seek to forge a worldwide connection, as Mirolla explains, "Alunea to me serves this idea of culture that we often see as 'us and them' perspectives; it's a fictitious language, from a fictitious story somewhere in the super future, and I give it the time to hear it, learn it, understand why it works the way it does. I'd just hope that others take a similar perspective when hearing real languages and learning about real cultures that are all around us, and full of depth, history, and meaning. I hope that people slow down and try to understand the depth we've put into Alunea and then project their experience into the world around them."

FRONT ROW WARRIORS release new album!!

FRONT ROW WARRIORS – announce new studio album, “Running Out Of Time”, for a summer release First video single + pre-orders now online! For the second time, Stuttgart, Germany-based FRONT ROW WARRIORS are taking up the cudgels for their very own melodic metal on their new album “Running Out Of Time”, that has just been announced for a release on July 11, 2025 via ROAR! Coming on CD, Vinyl and Digital formats, the album pre-sale has just started at https://frontrowwarriors.rpm.link/rootalbumPR Founded in 2019, the melodic metal band has already caused quite a stir in 2023 with their debut “Wheel Of Fortune” and was showered with praise by critics. The German Rock and Pop Musicians Association even named the debut album „Hard Rock Album of the Year 2023“. The 80s hard rock, with a pinch of AOR and melodic metal from the 90s, went down fantastically straight away, which is not only due to singer Elkie Gee, who has a remarkable range and stands out from the crowd with her vocal color. Today, FRONT ROW WARRIORS enthrall fans and listeners with a first single from their forthcoming offering, the album opening track "Turn The Tide"! The band comments: “Conspirators and false prophets, brainwashing through fake news and an insane arms race paint a bleak picture of the future. While some cowardly look away and resign themselves, others try to make a profit and pay homage to the infantile rulers of this world. Shouldn't we finally face the truth with courage? We can still turn the tide, we owe it to our daughters and sons!” All of the band members in FRONT ROW WARRIORS are no strangers in the scene. Sorin Badin and Stef Binnig-Gollub on guitars are former musicians from Samsara and Septagon, while Richie Seibel, who is also a member of Ivanhoe and Them, plays the keys. The bass is played by Timo Michels (ex-Pump) and the drums by Jay G. (ex-Sharon). The band played a number of concerts and festivals in 2024 and performed on stage with the likes of Treat, Vicious Rumors, Riot V, Victory, Axxis and Shakra. Since March 2024, guitarist Dominik Barth (ex-Illusoria) has replaced Sorin Badin, who had to step back for family reasons, but has been working in the background on the studio and fine-tuning the songs. Their new album “Running Out Of Time”, once again with none other than Achim Köhler (Primal Fear, Brainstorm a.o.) at the controls and co-produced by Michael Bormann, features some real bangers and impressively proves that the band also feels at home in metal. Lovers of delicate guitar and keyboard work as well as melodic hooks will get their money‘s worth, as will fans of the heavier genre. FRONT ROW WARRIORS once again skilfully play with the genres to produce a colorful bouquet of fabulous songs with guaranteed catchy tunes and surprising moments! The band states: “Running Out Of Time” was created during a time when we were on the road a lot, soaking up this energy and packing it into our new songs. This has made our music a little harder, but we‘ve definitely stayed true to ourselves when it comes to catchy choruses and can‘t wait to present our new songs and bring them to the stage.” Pre-order “Running Out Of Time” now on https://frontrowwarriors.rpm.link/rootalbumPR Album Tracklist: 01 - Turn The Tide 02 - Theory Of Mind 03 - The Holy 04 - Cast A Spell 05 - New Horizons 06 - Running Out Of Time 07 - Rise Against 08 - Don't Think The Night Is Over 09 - Seems Like Paradise 10 - Heartbreaker 11 - FRW For More Info Visit: Homepage | https://www.frontrowwarriors.com Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/FRW.official Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/front_row_warriors YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCGbhzgbbLZ_414s4IYCBqQ FRONT ROW WARRIORS Live: 29.03.

Dragon Soul press interviews Andrei-Ion Ghircoias

Site logo image Dragon Soul Press Read on blog or Reader Author interview with Andrei-Ion Ghircoias By dragonqueen3 on March 16, 2025 Dragon Soul Press had the chance to interview Andrei-Ion Ghircoias, an author featured in The Hunt anthology.

Oh, the dreaded “introduce yourself” part! Reminds me of how teachers would put you in front of the classroom and ask you to present something. Thank God I have some experience in that area. Well, where to begin? I am Andrei, and since I was little I’ve had a penchant for writing. It was something I was doing mostly as a hobby, to pass the time between video games, video games, and, of course, video games. But since a few years ago, I decided to commit wholeheartedly to it and accept that this is not just a hobby. This is my passion. What prompted you to begin writing? When I was a kid, I was reading a book and reached a chapter that I didn’t like at all. One of my favorite characters died in it. So, I decided to rewrite said chapter and have the character live in the end. Then I proudly presented my finished work to my father. You can imagine how poorly written it was. We are talking about a 7 or 8-year-old kid here. But despite it all, my father encouraged me to keep going and it’s thanks to him that I soon turned to writing my own original fiction. Heh, shame I don’t have that story anymore. It would be great to see how far I’ve come since I wrote it. And cringe at how bad my writing was back then. Do you have a favorite story or poem you’ve written? What’s it about? Up until now, out of all I’ve written, I would say the story of my current novel is my favorite. It’s in the medieval fantasy genre with an original setting, and very much centered on the characters. How many projects do you have planned over the next few years? Tell us about one. Getting my novel published is one. I plan on finishing it and starting the editing process this year, and next year have it ready to be sent for consideration. I also have a few more short stories I plan on writing. What is your writing process like? When it comes to short stories, the most enjoyable part for me is the editing phase. I want first to have the skeleton of the story, meaning a beginning and an end, and during the editing I start adding the missing parts. The meat, the muscle, the nerves, the organs, and finally the soul. As for novels, I enjoy both. It’s hard for me to say at this time if I prefer one over the other. Where do you draw inspiration from? Oh, this is pretty chaotic. Music is one, which is a bit ironic because I can’t write if it’s playing in the background. But if I am doing anything else it can inspire me to come up with a new story idea. Usually, sad or dark songs have the most success, even if I am neither a depressed nor dark person. Happy tunes are lovely, but they don’t do much for me. Probably because despite my sense of humor, I am not drawn to writing comedy. Another example would be books. Sometimes when reading, a certain image or mention might inspire me to write something. For example, if I read a book where a temple of some god is mentioned, I might come up with a romantic tale that takes place in some dark, forgotten crypt. Or something like that. Maybe whilst reading a book about honorable knights I come up with the idea of a sci-fi piece that has no connection whatsoever with what I am reading. Like I said, it’s pretty chaotic. But that’s how inspiration usually is, right? You’d have better luck reading the Necronomicon without losing your sanity than understanding the logic (if there is one) of how inspiration works. Who is your favorite author / what is your favorite book? This is a tough one. I’ve read works from some amazing authors like Isaac Asimov, Frank Herbert, George R.R. Martin, Madeline Miller, Stephen King, Brandon Sanderson and so on. But if I were to pick my favorite it would have to be H.P. Lovecraft. I will not comment on what type of a person he was, but his style of horror is fascinating. As for my favorite book, it’s got to be The Infinite and The Divine by Robert Rath. That book made me laugh so many times and its main characters, Trazyn and Orikan, are so petty and quirky you can’t help but love them. What is one goal you have for your writing future? Have more short stories published and getting my novel finished and published as well. What do you hope readers enjoy most from your work? I hope my writing helps people forget, even for a while, about the struggles, worries, and disappointments of daily life. The world we live in is downright insane. I hope my writing can help people forget about it for a time. I hope it can take them on a journey they will remember fondly. And maybe even touch their souls. Where can readers learn more about you?
