CASSANDRA'S CROSSING Featuring George Lynch

 

"Garden of Earthly Delights" marks the thrilling debut of Casandra's Crossing, a collaboration that bridges rock's past and future. Guitar maestro George Lynch's iconic style melds seamlessly with Casandra Carson's dynamic vocals, crafting an album that respects rock traditions while pushing boundaries. From the sci-fi-infused "Stranger" to the powerful "Closer to Heaven," this record crafts a musical narrative that promises to resonate across generations of rock fans.

Introducing CASANDRA'S CROSSING! 

This new musical alliance between guitar legend George Lynch and powerhouse singer Casandra Carson is poised to set the rock 'n' roll world on fire! The project's inaugural single is entitled "Stranger" and is the kick-off for their upcoming album, 'Garden of Earthly Delights,' out October 25th via Frontiers Music Srl. Listen below!

Casandra comments on “Stranger:”

“'Stranger' was a really fun one to write to. I always wanted the lyrics to match the vibe of the music, and every time I listened to George’s demo, I got War of the Worlds / alien invasion vibes. I was second-guessing myself and thought it might be kind of dumb to write a song about that, so I asked my boyfriend his opinion, and he simply said, ‘Why not? Show me your ideas so far.' He actually liked what little I had, and proceeded to help me write the rest of the song that night! Little did we know, it would end up being the first single. So thank you, Jaron Gulino!”

The musical chemistry between these two talented artists has created a magnificent modern hard rock album that showcases Lynch's trademark riffage driven by the outstanding voice of Casandra Carson, who is set to be the next rock singing sensation.

About 'Garden of Earthly Delights,' Casandra also adds:

“Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever meet, let alone collaborate with such a legend as George Lynch! It was an absolute honor and pleasure to work with him on this record. George’s tracks were so cool and inspiring, it was probably some of the most fun I’ve ever had writing lyrics and melodies. I truly couldn’t be more proud of this album, and I’m so excited to finally share it with the rest of the world.”



George Lynch emerged from the '80s hard rock scene with the L.A.-based group Dokken
and went on to become a world-renowned guitarist. Aside from Dokken, he has also enjoyed great success with LYNCH MOB, the group he founded after leaving DOKKEN.

Lynch has gone on to become a prolific music creator, continuing with Lynch Mob, releasing solo albums, and a wealth of collaborative efforts over the decades. Those include but are not limited to, KXM with Doug Pinnick (King's X) and Ray Luzier (Korn), The End Machine with Jeff Pilson (Foreigner, ex-Dokken), Mick Brown (ex-Dokken), and Girish Pradhan (Girish & The Chronicles), Sweet & Lynch with Michael Sweet (Stryper), Ultraphonix with Corey Glover (Living Colour), and The Banishment with Joe Haze.

Casandra Carson is best known for her work fronting the Midwestern hard rock band Paralandra. Founded in 2013 with a strong DIY ethic, Paralandra found themselves on radio charts and festival stages in no time and by 2018 had a record deal, national tours supporting the likes of Saliva, Tantric, and Dokken, and even found themselves performing aboard the KISS Kruise! The band remains active and their most recent studio album, produced by the legendary Michael "Elvis" Beskette, came out in April of this year.

WARLOCK A.D, THE VALLEY OF VAGENE

 

WARLOCK A.D.

This band delivers an uncompromising and theatrical dungeons and dragons style version of heavy metal. Imagine if a small band of orcs gathered together unwilling human slaves and forced them to create a band then hear you have WARLOCK A.D. They are powerful, precise, pioneers and prophets of the dungeon metal age. Unleash this army of chain mailed warriors on a club near you and you will know what the pink eye of sauron feels like.

Armagelion

       

 

There a handful of rock bands that can pull off a costume persona. GHOST, KISS, GLORYHAMMER, ALICE COOPER come to mind. Few can combine both musical excellence and the theatrics. Often times one or the other falls short or drifts into a comic vein.  ARMAGELION is one o the rare acts that can successfully do both. Combine a larger than life persona with an incredibly passionate and melodic sound. That is what you have here. 

 

ARMAGELION is the new face of theatrical shock metal or even Heavy Metal Theater. The goal here is to create worlds on stage. To view music and the visual medium as a driving force of creation. With this band this union  works majestically. The music is a hard hitting synergy of melody and power.

 

 The true genius lies in the live show. Here our characters come to life.  The show is a must see. Catch this band live and you will be hooked. Get the cd and spread the word. ARMAGELION is risen and he will take over the metal world.

INCURSION

 

     We often overlook the fact that every band started somewhere. In their collective journeys these bands sometimes lose their luster and their hunger. INCURSION is not that band.

Inspiring words from guitarist maxx Havok released a passion that is undying for true heavy metal. Incursion is a modern answer to the age-old question as to who will keep the metal flame aloft. The answer is INCURSION

Sonic mastery of both sound and symbolism abounds in this epic heavy metal offering to the Gods. Here is the future. Here is the band you have been looking for. Make no doubt there are other bands who have had a longer history. But this band, this band, INCURSION is destined to liberate the areas that have not been freed from today's boring music. They will spearhead the charge into the darkening future and bring a flame of light to illuminate all who would listen. Will you stand with them? I know we will!!

ANUBIS

 

 

For some bands the art of creation is a sacrifice and struggle to achieve the "perfect" sound. For ANUBIS it is just another day. The sound is classic heavy metal infused with modern recording mastery. 

These guys are the real deal. The perfect blend of tight unwavering rhythm and solid almost ethereal vocals. The lyrics are in a class all their own. Such precision and beauty interwoven with a thunderous approach. This is the music to crank while driving at high speeds. Rare is the band that can combine all the finer aspects of heavy music into one throbbing continuum of molten metal. ANUBIS is the future of American Heavy Metal. "Eternal Youth, Eternal light" is your road map to how a band should record, write and sound. This band has it all. Powerful and precision guided American Metal at its finest and fiercest. This band is a force to be reckoned with. All bands take note: this is what you should be doing.

FORMULA 400

  

 

San Diego's Formula 400 is one seriously heavy metal band. Releasing "HEATHENS" in 2020 on Death or Glory records, this band has created a whirlwind of attention. Songs like "light My Way" is a standout track but this sonic super speed drag race has so much more to offer. Check out "Sun Destroyer" and "Ridin Easy", among others

 

The sound is a juggernaut of hammering riffs, scorching vocals and fiery lead lines. As the pandemic comes to a close now is the time for bands like this to scream out of their studio and enter the world again. They are ready, the world is ready. Are you ready? 

 

 

 

This is a speed track soundscape of searing riffs and lyrics. Everything that makes a great band is contained within the pulsing engine of FORMULA 400.

Michael J Miller Band

 

Quite often when you hear new music it seems to lack that bite or the sting of a well-honed sword. This is not the case with the metal creation of Michael J Miller! Hands down an incredibly crafted construct of energy, passion, and fiery ambition.

 Every track is a delight for the senses. Winner of the 2022 outstanding legacy award, a Hollywood California Akademia production. This outstanding guitarist has cemented himself in the rock and metal scene as a fantastic guitarist with melody and soul. Of course, there are blazing solos, but everything is done with a complete vision for the sound.

 Songs like "Since you have been gone.", and "Voodoo Doll" capture the listener and never let you go. Overall, this album is one that you must get. You will be cranking these head banging tunes for hours to come. Play it loud
