Fabuliste - Knock On The Roof (Progressive Metal)

https://metaldevastationradio.com/thebeast/blog/8378/new-promo-fabuliste-knock-on-the-roof-progressive-metal
Fabuliste are a progressive rock / metal band initially starting out as something of an instrumental trio between, Adriano Godhino (guitars) Kingsley Renehen (Bass) and Martin McKee (Drums). Based in Dublin, Ireland.

Having spent a few months building tracks, and forming a direction for the band, it was decided that the skills of a vocalist might be worth a shot. After a long and varied search, (and a small twist of fate) Dan Golding was etched into the Fabuliste ranks as the resident vocalist/lyricist.
We have since gone on to record and release two singles, with the third single 'Left for dead' due for release at the time of writing, and plan to release either a full album, or E.P for 2020. We have to date performed in various venues in Dublin , including a slot at one of the 2020 Bloodstock metal to the masses shows, with further live dates postponed for this year, which hopefully will go ahead in the near future. It is early days for Fabuliste , but we do hope to continue to carve a path for ourselves in some form within the European live festival, and touring scenes, to continue to record our own material, and to grow a further reaching fan-base to the people who love the music, that we ourselves would cherish to be a part of.

Live review in short:
' Next up is Fabuliste , who jumped into the showcase at very short notice. Tying together a mix of genres, Fabuliste proceed to launch their campaign to the now thronged venue, with front-man Dan Golding marching about the stage with buckets of confidence and a glint in his eye. Harvesting a sound that is woven with a mix of stoner, hard rock and progressive, Fabuliste generate an interesting sound and hold the crowd throughout with bangers like “Feed the War Machine” and “The Walls Remain“.
A band that is very much capable of surprising the listener with their unique and at times unpredictable sound.
Watch out for them and check them out when you can '.

Silenced Minstrel - Volume 4 (One Man Black Metal)

The immortal outcast of heaven with an unpronounceable name (the last time somebody mentioned my real name, the Jews lost their country to the Romans, heheheh!) has been in one form or another for the past 65 million years, moving around the world mostly in the shadows and avoiding humanity like the plague. Can be summoned to appear (at one's own peril) by a sacrifice of 13 virgin women and men but has the habit of leaving those who has seen his real face a slow, lingering death in return for their folly. Currently resides in Malaysia writing extreme music for a living but also receives requests to hex or mentally murder people in their sleep on the side. Not much else has been known about this nefarious creature in black, although banshees would stay silent if ever he's around, the hounds of hell became meek as puppies and malevolent creatures of the night shut their doors for days and weeks in advance if ever they'd caught wind of his planned arrival! You can see him dancing under the blue moon but be wary as he can detect living souls and you're lucky if you'd die intact if he finds you! There, enough said. Pray that he didn't come after you tonight once you read this, heheheh!

"We are in the dawn of a revolution. "We are the frontline of a very new reality." "When i was in the studio writing the lyrics and laying down the vocals to this song, I felt propelled by the spirits and emotions of the unjustifiable fallen souls in this world and everyone still battling life as we now know it." "This song is the voice of the people and its time the people were heard." " There is alot of raw emotion, conspiracy, anger, sadness and uncertainty in this world at the moment." " I feel we the people need a song to relate to about the way we feel." " People are looking for direction but in reality no one really knows where we are headed."  "I hope the lyrics and emotion of this song grips everyone's hearts around the world."

Accidental President - Rotten Child - (Alt-Rock)

For fans of Marilyn Manson, L7, The Sisters of Mercy, The Cure
Accidental President are a female fronted Alt-Rock 3 piece playing their own brand of hard rock mixed heavily with goth and metal influences - with a theatrical flair. The band released their self titled debut album Wednesday, 1 July 2020. The band is thrilled to reveal a brand new music video Rotten Child, to offer a taste of what will hit you.
Accidental President says about Rotten Child: "Reflecting on childhood, remembering the different perceptions people had, longing to fit in, to integrate, but ultimately feeling outcast."

Currently composed of Bethany Neville on lead vocals, Dave Ben Lee on Guitars, and Leon Cadden on Drums, Accidental President is at their peak performance. Each band member brings in their own prized talents. In fact, Dave earned a fellowship from London College of Music in Electric Guitar, Leon has been playing drums in successful bands for too many years to count, and Bethany brings in an unmatched vocal talent that has been praised by fans and critics alike.
If their musical talents don’t immediately captivate you, their live performance will. Each live show is packed full of visual stimulation. A rapidly growing fanbase locks in to see the spectacle. From creative costumes to an in your face stage show, Accidental President is not a band you want to miss live. The press agrees:
“A hard rock, gothed out, extravaganza of a live show that music dreams are made of” The Music Producer
“Stadium-rending riffs, crushingly dramatic builds and a hard, echoing and choral vocal. Bold and struck by a furious passion for that original rock ‘n’ roll carnage, these performers are impossible to ignore.” Happy Mag
If not obvious by the name, Accidental President is a band that wants to share their ethos of social awareness. This is especially relevant in our current times of political upheaval and inequalities around the world. The band connects with their listeners on a level much greater than just the music.
Hard work and passion are the backbones of a successful band and Accidental President fits the bill perfectly. Originally formed in 2015, the group has gone through a long, hard road of ‘Spinal Tap-esqe’ lineup changes and life events that caused a lot of pitfalls in their development. Their passion never slowed though and Accidental President used these challenges as motivation to build something spectacular that is now ready for the world to hear.
The Sydney, Australia based band has formed their own brand of hard rock mixed heavily with goth and metal influences. Adding to their intrigue and performance, Accidental President throws in a theatrical flair to grab all of your senses.
Accidental President are:
Bethany Neville - Vocals

Changing Tymz Is Band Of The Month July 2020 On MDR!

Changing Tymz is an original rock/metal band out of Pittsburgh, PA, generating a new sound and tone in today's rock and metal genres. Composed of top-notch musicians, the recent release of their first EP is catching the attention of the music scene.


In 2016, after hitting some roadblocks with original music and deciding that playing in the cover/club scene was not in his heart, Tony Rossi wanted something new.  Driven by the desire to form a band that brought together a unique mix of musicians, he began the long road to what would lead him to Changing Tymz.  A  journey that required time and patience as the right band would be born in the collaboration of musicians willing to prove their passion, musical talent, faith in God, direction and ability to work together as an integral and equal piece of the process. This in itself would take over 3 years.
During this same time period, guitarist Timmy Wysong was looking to find an accomplished drummer to join his former band, Hate Remains.  Connecting through a music search, Tony submitted an audition piece for the band at Timmy’s request. Although things didn’t work out for Hate Remains, Tony and Timmy discovered a respect for each other’s talents and decided to begin collaboration.     
Adding vocalist Matt Martin to the group, the band was now beginning to take shape and the direction of the band’s sound became clear.  Originally striving for a heavier and darker sound, the addition of Matt’s voice and unique style allowed them to dig deeper in the roots of true metal and melodic fashion to create a mix of modern and classical metal. 
All the while, bass player Bryan McQuade was also looking for a change and placed an ad on Craigslist.  Seeing the posting, the band reached out and asked him to submit an original bassline for the song ‘Stand Up’.  Taking his chances, Bryan sat down to write, submitted a piece…and a bass player was found.  
Now at four members strong, all that was needed was another guitarist to add to the line-up. Knowing whoever it was needed to be the right fit, after several auditions and more than a year later, the band finally welcomed Eric Fenton in November of 2019.
Five talented musicians, having never met before, all from different backgrounds, cemented by desire and passion for the music is what makes this band work so well.  Proving that they can get through the best and the worst together, they officially released their 5 track EP in February of 2020 and are now in the pre-production stage of their full-length debut album (release date to be announced).
The music world has only begun to see the beginning of Changing Tymz! For more info on the band you can check out their website!

Zakk Wylde Celebrates 50th Anniversary Of Black Sabbath With Blistering Recreation Of Sabbath's Debut Album!

Early September will see ZAKK SABBATH, the BLACK SABBATH tribute band featuring guitarist/vocalist Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne), bassist Blasko  (Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie) and drummer Joey Castillo (Danzig, Queens of the Stone Age), release their spectacular tribute to the Birmingham four, a faithful yet supercharged rendition of BLACK SABBATH's first album. Vertigo Records issued the iconic debut album on a Friday the 13th in 1970, and the world was never the same. Legendarily recorded in a single day in October 1969, the earth-moving self-titled set closed the book on hippie optimism with its dark magic and ushered in a brand new genre, setting the metal template for decades to come.
Exactly 50 years later, ZAKK SABBATH celebrate the first chapter in the Sabbath catalog with a reverently rendered tribute, simply titled "Vertigo", which is slated for a release on September 4th, 2020, via Magnetic Eye Records. Faithfully recorded in the spirit of the original, live in the studio and with a film crew documenting the process, the session culminated in a new version of a landmark album that celebrates the greatest heavy metal band of all time and the record that started it all.
"We recorded a live EP and were wondering what we could do next as a cover band, so the 50th album anniversary came just at the right time", explains Blasko regarding Zakk Sabbath's decision to go studio. "Compared to 'Paranoid', which is almost like a best-of record, the bulk of the material on 'Black Sabbath' is deep-cut, really experimental stuff that was never thoroughly explored, so that was a challenge, not to forget that we wanted to meet our own high standards."

Describing the DIY process as "very productive," the three respectfully added their own flair to make for a slightly different flavor, also revisiting various live renditions and "extending a solo here or slowing things down because that's what they tended to do on stage."
Today, ZAKK SABBATH are sharing a first track taken from "Vertigo", the title track "Black Sabbath". You can now stream their tribute version of the iconic anthem, Black Sabbath, HERE!

ZAKK SABBATH's "Vertigo" won't be available digitally, "to make the release feel authentic to the time when vinyl ruled the earth. It was such a cool time for those of us that grew up during that time. The fan experience with the physical product is irreplaceable with digital and streaming. We wanted to capture that authenticity."

"Vertigo" will be available as:
  • Digipak CD
  • CD/DVD hardcover book with the album behind-the-scenes-interviews and making-of
  • limited edition yellow vinyl
Tracklisting:
1) Black Sabbath
2) The Wizard
3) Wasp / Behind the Wall of Sleep / N.I.B
4) Wicked World
5) A Bit of Finger / Sleeping Village / Warning


Set to be released on September 4th, the album pre-sale has just started at THIS LOCATION!

 "Vertigo" Coming Out This September on Magnetic Eye Records!
