Arise, Year of the Phoenix, Ghost Light, Touched by the Mara, A Beautiful Death, Legacy in a Rhyme, Caramon's Poem, The Highland, Shadow of the Beast and March through an Endless Rain

Escape Music will release a new live album from White Wolf an May 21st. Entitled Live In Germany the album features the following track listing:

Victim of the Spotlight, The Wolf, Shadows in the Night, Headlines, She, Eyes of the World, Standing Alone, What the War Will Bring, Price of One, Dreams Are Forever and Out Of Control

White Wolf have had a busy 2007, returning to the limelight with the release of their new CD "Victim of the Spotlight". Not only that but a double digipack reissue of their celebrated eighties outings "Standing Alone" (1984) and "Endangered Species" (1986) hit the streets, with a few bonus video clips to add to the excitement. In September 2007 the band were asked to play the UFOR festival in Ludwigsburg, Germany and since that legendary performance they have added many new fans to their already loyal following…..

The six seasoned musicians rocked the enthusiastic crowd right from the start and with an exciting and varied set White Wolf turned out one great song after another. The audience were truly amazed at the sheer power of the dual guitar attack of Scott Web and original member Cam Macleod backed with the intense rhythm of Russ Bergquist and Brendan Ostrander. Strong keyboards were supplied by David J Petovar as well as frontman Don Wolf who gave the vocal performance of his life.

White Wolf are legends, make no mistake, and this is a worthy addition to their collection. With the 2007 release of the third White Wolf album "Victim of the Spotlight" and the reissue of the two earlier albums then the future is bright for this Canadian six piece. The Wolf shall prowl once more…….this is a fantastic live performance and essential for anyone wishing to experience the sheer power of this magnificent hard rock band.

Not content with the forthcoming release of his Skelton EP, due through Demolition Records on May 12th Wednesday 13 has unveiled plans for a second CD release shortly after. This time it will be in the shape of an EP entitled Bloodwork.

Commented Wednesday 13 on the Bloodwork E.P "Last year I wasn’t able to release any new music due to prior record contracts. So this year I want to give back as much as I can to the fans with the new full length Skeletons and the Bloodwork EP. These are songs that didn’t really fit on to Skeletons. yet I didn’t want to split them up and have them be scattered bonus tracks here and there."

The fill track listing for Bloodwork is as follows:

B-Movie Babylon, Return Of The Living Dead, Runnin’ Down A Dream (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), I Love To Say Fuck, My Demise B.C. and Skeletons A.D.

From the sick and twisted mind of original Alice Cooper drummer Neal Smith, one of the Legendary Gods of Shock Rock, comes KillSmith with a new CD entitled 'Sexual Savior'. Born 2008 on a bloody St. Valentine's Day massacre, 'Sexual Savior' unloads a hardcore metal celebration of the human condition, violence, death, sex, lust and greed. The CD comes with a sixteen-page booklet featuring song lyrics and lots of hot female skin. Turn the volume all the way up and blast your brains out listening to eleven new songs destined to be Classick's including: "Naked And The Raw", "Sexual Savior", "Monsters In The Attic" (with drum solo), "How Do You Bleed", "Dynasty Of Darkness" and "Human Evolution".

Neal Smith is best known worldwide for his innovative drumming and outrageous stage antics with the original Alice Cooper Group. His solid drumming is the hallmark sound behind such 1970's Alice Cooper hits "Schools Out", "I'm Eighteen", "Billion Dollar Babies" and "No More Mr. Nice Guy". Neal is also a prolific songwriter, who helped pen many of Cooper's best known songs. From the late 1970's to the present, Smith's trademark drums can be heard on several albums, including the critically acclaimed Bouchard, Dunaway and Smith CDs.

And now with 'Sexual Savior', "this aggressive masterpiece is aimed at today's hard rock market, but will no doubt appeal to anyone with anti-social tendencies," Derek Emery of LA's The Place. "A true veteran of the drum kit, Neal Smith expands his remarkable talent on this new CD, playing drums, synthesizer, and guitar as well as all lead vocals. Each heart pounding song was written and produced by Smith as well. The brilliant drumming alone will leave you paralyzed!"

KillSmith's 'Sexual Savior' is now available from CD Baby, iTunes, E-Bay and Amazon.com, as well as the official KillSmith website. Buy it - you'll love it to death!!!

Fresh from a star turn at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, exclusive live footage can be seen of trailblazing new-Blues man Son Of Dave on his brand new web blog: http://sonofdave.blogspot.com, alongside a running diary from the event. Highlight for Son Of Dave had to be Alabama 3 joining him onstage to molest the blues with him. The diary also features some advice to the young from a man who knows what he’s talking about, and the video for his current single ‘Old Times Were Good Times’. For those who follow his Gonzo-style column in Stool Pigeon, it’s a much-needed fresh fix.

Back to the current job at hand, bringing his music to the masses on the road. Described as a “force of nature” live, Son Of Dave previews music from his brand new album ‘03’, out on Kartel on April 7th, with more UK shows in April and May, including a show at Proud in Camden, joining Vincent Vincent & The Villains on Wednesday 9th April, followed by eight more UK dates. Son Of Dave has also confirmed a performance at the Big Chill Festival 2008 in Eastnor.

The full list of dates is as follows:

9th April - London Proud
25th April - Southampton Joiners
26th April - Portsmouth Cellars
27th - April Kettering Sawyers
29th - April Norwich Arts Centre
30th April - Cambridge Barfly
1st May - Nottingham Rescue Rooms
2nd May - Sheffield The Plug
4th May - Belfast Catherdral Quarter Arts Festival

For a live twist, not many artists can claim to feature as installations in an Art Exhibition, but Son Of Dave does just that with his performance at the forthcoming Le Gun exhibition on 10th April at Transit in Shoreditch. The artwork for Son Of Dave's new album '03' was designed by Chris Bianchi from the Le Gun collective, and depicts Son Of Dave live onstage. With the original artwork featuring in the exhibition, Son Of Dave performs live as a real-life enactment of the art piece.

Son Of Dave has also confirmed a brand new single release. 'Lover Not A Fighter' will be released on 16th June 2008 through Kartel, and is one of the stand out tracks from '03'.

St Albans hardcore outfit Your Demise will release their mini album, “Blood Stays on The Blade” through Leeds based indie label Thirty Days of Night (Gallows, Architects, Eternal Lord, Bring Me The Horizon) on May 12th 2008. Having gone through approx. 11 member changes since their conception in 2004, the quintet are back with firm line up, and six tracks of crushing metallic hardcore. Using elements of early 80’s punk, thrash metal and modern hardcore, “Blood Stays On The Blade” is a musical tour de force, and one that is certain to throw the band up with the leaders of UK hardcore.

Coming from the same area as UK heroes Gallows, Enter Shikari and Friendly Fires the band are quick to show their appreciation for the bands. “We actually put on their first ever show and Lee (Barratt, drummer for Gallows) has drummed with us before on a few occasions” says front man George Noble. The band have spent the last few years playing all over the UK & Europe (+2 nights spent in an Antwerp jail, on charges of intent to use and possession of BB guns!) with literally hundreds of bands including Earth Crisis, Sick of it All, Shai Hulud, Bring Me The Horizon, The Chariot, Sworn Enemy, Madball and I Killed The Prom Queen and have recently completed a mammoth tour with Enter Shikari and Hundred Reasons.

FINALLY…………..the Harem Scarem DVD’s arrived in Ireland on Friday evening, after being delayed in transit due to bad weather. Santa’s elves have been busy packing them all up over the weekend and they will ALL be mailed out TOMORROW (Monday March 31st) to their various destinations all over the world. The office looks like a bomb hit it with empty cartons and address labels everywhere and seven LARGE postal bags full of DVD’s ready for drop off in the morning.

We would like to apologise for the delay that was incurred, but as already stated it was completely out of our hands . We hope you will enjoy the show, and Barry Donaghy (Harem bassist) requests that anybody into breeding and racing top quality turtles contact him via the Harem Scarem web site. Watch the DVD and you’ll see why…………..

Cheers
The Firefest team

Lion Music have released details of their releases scheduled for April:

 

Jennifer Battern - Whatever

 

  

 

Critically acclaimed as one of the most creative, imaginative and talented guitarists on the planet and always at the forefront of technology Jennifer Batten returns for her third solo album in the captivating sonic tapestry of “Whatever”. Released as a dual pack of CD & DVD the album is described in style by Jennifer herself as “guitronica”. The album possesses plenty of guitar, but “Whatever” is heavily multi textured with a plethora of sounds and vocal samples, and has a humorous thread throughout. The music is also influenced by various ethnic cultures such as the African vibe in "Off the Deep End".

On the albums creation Jennifer comments, “Originally I started writing a lot of these tracks for Jeff Beck when I was in his band. My third CD has been long over due so in the end I'm happy to have these tracks for myself! He got me interested in electronica and I'm very happy to have that as a new direction with all the amazing inspiring sounds available today.”

The included DVD breaks down each video track with a commentary by Jennifer, who  describes the album as "'sort of' instrumental. There are vocal samples telling stories in most songs, but not the standard song type lyrics and melodies. I played and programmed most of the CD with the exception of having a few guests."

 

 

 

 

The full track listing for Whatever, which is released on April 18th, is as follows:

 

Ass Whoopin', Ricochet, Off The Deep End, Whatever, Fearless, Hooligan's Holiday, In The Aftermath, Run With It, Cupid's Arrow and Inner Journey.

 

Mind's Eye - 1994: The Afterglow

 

 

“1994: The Afterglow” is a slice of history from one of the most critically acclaimed progressive bands of recent years – Mind's Eye. The Swedish progressive rock / metal masters in conjunction with Lion Music offer up their little heard 1994 debut album “The Afterglow”.

Re-mastered by Daniel Flores and re-packaged with all new artwork by artist Carl-André Beckston (Monowasp), the album is wrapped up with a variety of bonus features (including the bands debut video – Castle Of Eternity), all showing the humble beginnings of the band who released arguably 2007’s most critically acclaimed progressive metal masterpiece and world first triple pack release (CD/DVD/Comic) in “A Gentleman’s Hurricane”.

Being the first ever release by Mind's Eye, this is a genuine chance to get to know the band as they started their career. Back then the bands core of Daniel Flores and Johan Niemann along with original singer German Pascual and guitarist Fredrik Grunberger proved they already knew that they wanted to show the world that good music CAN be created with discipline and emotion. Sounds like a paradox? Not for Mind's Eye.

The musicianship and song writing on “1994: The Afterglow” belies the bands tender years at the time, Daniel and Fredrik where 18, German was 20 and Johan was only 15. Musically the band had the same goal as they do today. What they didn’t have back then was the experience and knowledge they have today, yet this album shows the unique seeds for future works and any listener will be hard pressed not to appreciate the talent on offer even today some 14 years on from original release.

"1994 : The Afterglow" is the start of the musical adventure of Mind's Eye.

 

The full track listing for The Afterglow, which is released on April 18th, is as follows:

 

Blind Justice, Castle of Eternity, Red Storm Rising, Beyond Endurance, With These Eyes, Andromeda, Ending a Story and A Thousand Nights After The Last Sundown.

 

Daniele Liverani - Cosmics

 

 

Daniele Liverani’s new project Cosmics mark their debut with the instrumental / experimental concept album "The Cosmic Year". The album, a collection of 10 tracks within a melodic and progressive metal setting are based around the keyboard wizardry of Daniele Liverani (Twinspirits, Genius, Khymera), along with “special guest” drummer Virgil Donati (Steve Vai, Planet X, Ring Of Fire), young guitar hotshot Tommy Ermolli (Twinspirits, Khymera) and respected bassist Rufus Philpot (Planet X) show that progressive music can be both accessible and intelligently written.

Each track contains various movements given a sonic reference to specific moments in the evolution of the universe which maintain both a progressive outlook yet work cohesively as a sonic unit and as single entities. Daniele Liverani showcases immense skill in this his most complex, visionary and progressive work to date. Guitarist Tommy Ermolli’s performance will only go to further the reputation this 20 year old has earnt so far. This musical vision is extended further with the stunning rhythm section interaction between Rufus Philpot and Virgil Donati that the listener will have come to expect from their work together in Planet X.

 

The full track listing for The Cosmic year, which is released on April 18th is as follows:

 

Big Bang, Life Birth, Giants Domination, Chicxulub, Global Extinction, Omination, History Begins, Emperors And Gods, Voyages Of Discovery & The Last Second

 

In other Lion Music News Sphere Of Souls are back with a revamped line up with the addition of lead guitarist Alex Rosenhof of Picture of the Moon and drummer Milan Ridderhof, formerly of Daisy Vain. Alex and Milan who replace former members Anand Mahangoe and Ruud van Diepen respectively, who left the band in early 2007.

 

The new Sphere of Souls line-up is currently rehearsing material from the band's 2006 debut `From the Ashes…', released by Lion Music. Material for a second album is also in the works and the band will resume live work within the next few months.

Already the biggest UK underground band that are quietly infiltrating the mainstream, York quintet Elliot Minor will crash into mainstream consciousness when they release their self-titled debut album on April 14th on Repossession Records / Warner Bros. Records.

Produced by Jim Wirt (Incubus, Hoobastank, Something Corporate) and mixed by Neal Avron (Yellowcard, New Found Glory, Fall Out Boy), the album finds Elliot Minor mixing approaches from the piano-infused hard rock of ‘Time After Time’ to the sonically charged ‘Parallel Worlds’, which is embellished with grandiose orchestration. They deliver pitch perfect three-way vocal harmonies on the infectious ‘The White One is Evil’ and add an undertone of ultra-melodic punk to ‘Still Figuring Out’.

The album, which features features the hit singles ‘Jessica’, ‘The White One Is Evil’ and ‘Still Figuring Out’ is preceded by the infectious single, ‘Parallel Worlds, on April 7th with the full track listing for the album as follows:

Time After Time, Parallel Worlds, The White One Is Evil, The Liar Is You, Lucky Star, Jessica, The Broken Minor, Still Figuring Out, Silently, Running Away and Last Call To New York.

After endlessly working their way towards bigger venues on each and every headline tour, Elliot Minor signed a major record deal with Warner Bros. Records towards the end of 2007. With three hits already under their belt, more than 1.9-million MySpace views and some of the most popular webisodes on YouTube, the band are poised to break in a major fashion in 2008. They’ve also played to a 10,000 capacity crowd at the Dimebag Darrell stage at Download and have also toured as guests to Fall Out Boy.

“A lot of the harmonies are classically based, so that whole side of my background is represented,” says vocalist/guitarist Alex Davies who, like the rest of the band, comes from classically trained background. “Then there’s the whole band performances backed by an orchestra that really emphasizes those instruments and the chord progressions.”

Elliot Minor are currently embarking upon an extensive UK tour that will conclude with their largest headline show to date at London’s Astoria on April 12th. The guys will also be supporting Simple Plan on their European Tour in March/April.

 

A Silent Film are set to release their debut single ‘Sleeping Pills’ through independent record label Xtra Mile Recordings. ‘Sleeping Pills’ is the first track to be taken from their Sam Williams (Supergrass, The Noisettes, Dogs Die In Hot Cars…) produced debut album; The City That Sleeps. Their music is a piano and guitar led mix brimming with energetic drumming and haunting melodies characterised by lyrics that reveal deeply introspective fictional stories. Their sound is a cross between Editors and Coldplay drawing influence from Massive Attack.

‘Sleeping Pills’ will be released as a digital download and will be available through iTunes and other major DSPs on 28th April.

Last year the Oxfordians were handpicked by Emily Eavis and Huw Stephens to play the BBC Introducing Stage at Glastonbury Festival where they delivered an outstanding set; being hailed as one of the highlights of the weekend. The band’s stunning self-produced debut EP ‘The Projectionist’ followed a few weeks later along with sold-out performances at the Ultimate Picture Palace Cinema and Soho Revue Bar. The song ‘Six Feet of Rope and Revenge has also been chosen to feature with the band performing live in a screen adaptation of ‘The Butterfly Tattoo’ by Philip Pullman due for release later this year.

In support of the release of ‘Sleeping Pills’ A Silent Film will be bringing their incredible live show to the following venues:

3rd April - Water Rats Theatre, London
12th April - Oxford Academy: Transformation Club Night, Oxford 12th July - 2000Trees Festival Cheltenham
12th July - Zapfest Festival Oxford

After a highly successful 2007 that saw London five piece Lights.Action! release two critically acclaimed digital singles (‘Satellites’ and ‘Story Of A Broken Boy’) which adorned radio play lists and were well received by the press; support the likes of Aiden, Kids In Glass Houses, and I Was A Cub Scout and make memorable appearances at Download, Great Escape, Guilfest and Leeds Festivals, the band are now set to release their debut mini-album. ‘All Eyes To The Morning Sun’ will be released through Xtra Mile Recordings on 14th April 2008 and preceded by the download only single ‘Aurora’ which will be available through iTunes and other major DSPs on 7th April.

‘All Eyes…’ was recorded with highly regarded producer Richard Wilkinson (The Magic Numbers, Adele, Sugababes, Paul Weller) and is a collection of the bands finest recorded work to date coupled with an enhanced section featuring videos to all of the bands single releases available physically for the first time. Track listing for the mini-album is as follows:

Aurora, Story of A Broken Boy, Satellites, Ghosts, Hide And Seek and All Eyes... (outro)

Lights.Action! came together from as far afield as California and Suffolk and their combined passion, hard work and sheer musical ability – combined with a fanbase that’s growing alongside them - ensures 2008 will see them take off from the impressive platform they’ve already built.

The Subways are poised for a sensational return this year when they release their second album ‘All Or Nothing’ on June 16th. The album, produced by Butch Vig (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth), will be preceded by the singles ‘Girls And Boys’ (March 25th - download only) and ‘Alright’ (June 2nd) as well as 2 nationwide tours of intimate club venues.

In early 2007, Billy, the Welwyn Garden City trio's, lead singer was forced to brave surgery on his vocal chords. An event which placed the band's very existence into doubt. Lunn, thankfully given the all-clear after a long lay-off, spent the rest of the year with The Subways reenergized, refocussed and ready to produce their finest work to date in the form of the planned summer release of much-anticipated follow-up album "ALL OR NOTHING" .

Recorded in Los Angeles, the twelve-track album marks a tremendous progression for the band since the ‘Young For Eternity’ debut. Freshly inspired by bands including Death Cab For Cutie and Refused, the result is an album that recalls the exuberance of ‘Young For Eternity’ while embarking upon an adventurous sonic progression. The vehement opening riff of single ‘Girls And Boys’ is a bold reintroduction to the band and is followed by the dynamic ‘Kalifornia’ that contrasts the band’s most vitriolic moment to date with an infectious, summery hook.

Track 'Girls And Boys’ will be available free to download at www.subways.net from March 25th. The download will then be available from selected websites on March 31st. Single, ‘Alright’, will receive a full release on June 2nd.

Other highlights of ‘All Or Nothing’ include the breezy, retro-pop of the title-track, the raw power of live favourites ‘Shake Shake’ and 'I Won't Let You Down' as well as the sun-kissed vocal harmonies of ‘Alright’ and the instantly infectious melodies on 'Strawberry Blonde'. ‘Young For Eternity’ was released in 2005 and soon established The Subways in the live arena, proving to be enduring festival favourites at Reading, Leeds and Glastonbury and selling out almost every headline show that they played. Dave Grohl, Liam Gallagher and Paul Weller soon became prominent fans – Grohl and Gallagher personally asked The Subways to support the Foo Fighters and Oasis respectively.

And it wasn’t just here that The Subways were making waves. They became a regular fixture on American TV with performances on David Letterman and Conan O’Brien. An arena tour as guests to Taking Back Sunday also proved to be a particular highlight for the band playing 10,000 plus crowds across the states. Dates in Australia and Japan also offered evidence of their growing international reputation.

Brit-rockers Brigade have been confirmed as main support to Fightstar on their up-coming May tour. The tour kicks off one week after hugely-anticipated second album 'Come Morning We Fight' is released (May 12th). This is preceded by the first single 'Pilot' which is to be released on April 28.

Currently out on the road supporting Aiden, the 'generous-to-the-core' London four-piece are giving away for FREE their track 'Shortcuts', taken from the new album, as a digital download.

According to international music critics and rock aficionados, King’s X may be counted amongst one of the most unusual acts in the history of rock music. The technical skills of the three band members, Ty Tabor (guitars, vocals), Doug Pinnick (bass, vocals) and Jerry Gaskill (drums, vocals), are above reproach. As on their fourteen previous recordings, their latest album, XV, is another prime example of classy groove rock featuring great melodies, driving rhythms and tough guitars.

 

  

 

Tabor, Pinnick and Gaskill have every reason to be satisfied with their latest offering. Some of the 14 brand new tracks owe their sound to a classy guitar riff, others to a haunting groove or an intricate hook line, with the vocals always remaining at the epicentre of the music. “It is a very different record for us. It touches on a lot of different things from our past, but doesn’t sound the same. It seems to me that these are more complete songs. Some are short and sweet; some are more adventurous and unpredictable in some ways.”  (Ty Tabor)

 

XV saw the band working once again with the legendary sound engineer, Michael Wagener (Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Dokken, among others). King’s X were particular, not only when it came to their choice of producer, but also the recording process. Instead of putting together lots of pieces like a jigsaw puzzle, they allowed themselves the luxury of recording large sections of the production in a live atmosphere.

 

This fifteenth album from King’s X is one of the freshest and most dynamic cuts in their career to date.

 

The full track listing for XV, which is released via InsideOut/SPV on 19th May is as follows:

 

Pray, Blue, Repeating Myself, Rocket Ship, Julie, Alright, Broke, I Just Want To Live, Move, I Don't Know, Stuck, Go Tell Somebody, Love And Rockets (Hell's Screaming) and No Lie

Already selected as one of Classic Rock magazine’s tips for 2008, Voodoo Six are a band that draw heavily on the classic traditions that made British hard rock the envy of the world in the 70’s and early 80’s, whilst at the same time retaining an exciting and contemporary edge. There’s still no better sound in rock than two guitars trading crushing riffs, a singer who conjures the best spirits of rock and a rhythm section who provide the guts for songs which echo primeval hard rock.
 
Bassist Tony Newton and drummer Dave ‘Grav’ Cavill had toured with the likes of Iron Maiden, UFO and Dio and with these connections the blueprint for Voodoo Six was laid. Soon they had added two talented guitar players (Matt Pearce and Chris Jones) and finally topped it all off with the incredible vocals of new kid on the block Henry Rundell, whose set of pipes could give a young Robert Plant something to think about.
 
Touring in support of their new album “First Hit For Free”, which has been remixed by legendary Canadian Engineer Mike Fraser (Van Halen, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Metallica, Thunder, The Cult, Coverdale Page), the band hit the road throughout April & May alonsgide the likes of the Tygers Of Pan Tang & Blaze Bayley.
