Barnabas Sky What Comes To Light Pride & Joy Music
The melodic hard rock all-star project BARNABAS SKY, led by German guitarist and songwriter Markus Pfeffer (LAZARUS DREAM/WINTERLAND), launches its sophomore album "What Comes To Light"!
Stylistically, the project of the multi-instrumentalist from Kaiserslautern combines groovy guitar riffs, catchy choruses, distinctive voices of several singers with international reputation, spherical synth sounds and filigree solos to a timeless rock melange way beyond short-lived trends.
Once again on board are TYKETTO's Danny Vaughn as well as SILENT RAGE's Jesse Damon, whereby the former impresses with energetic vocals on the title track and the latter is supported with choirs by AOR legend PAUL SABU on the elegiac earworm "Grant Me A Wish From Heaven". For the first time, Doogie White (RAINBOW, ALCATRAZZ, RISING FORCE etc.) is on board for the classic rock steam hammer "Circus Of Delight" as well as Dan Reed (DAN REED NETWORK) with the synth-hooked "Take A Ride".
Also featured are Roy Cathey (COLD SWEAT, THE FIFTH), Dirk Kennedy (HITTMAN), Carsten "Lizard" Schulz (DOMAIN, EVIDENCE ONE), Lee Small (SWEET, LIONHEART, PHENOMENA) and metal legend Alan Tecchio (WATCHTOWER). In addition to these already established singers, the exceptional vocal talent Deibys Artigas Venegas (PREINCARNATION) from Venezuela, who is just 30 years old, is on board as an insider tip.
The impressive cover design was done by Stan W. Decker (POWERWOLF, MEGADETH etc.) and the mastering by Rolf Munkes at Empire Studios (MICHAEL SCHENKER, MAD MAX, VOODOO CIRCLE etc.).
Line-up:
Guitars, Bass, Keyboards, Guitarsynth: Markus Pfeffer
Vocals: Danny Vaughn, Dan Reed, Doogie White, Jesse Damon, Roy Cathey, Dirk Kennedy, Lee Small, Carsten Lizard Schulz, Alan Tecchio, Deibys Artigas Venegas
Drums, Percussions: Thomas Rieder
Backing Vocals: Paul Sabu, Stephan Hugo

PHANTOM FIRE set release date for new EDGED CIRCLE album, reveal first video - features members of GAAHLS WYRD, KRAKOW+++
[photo: Rune Hals]
It was but May 2021 when a brand-new entity burst from Bergen, Norway, bearing the all-too-apropos moniker Phantom Fire. With members hailing from such bands as Gaahls Wyrd and Krakow, the duo surprisingly went a different route with their debut EP, Return of the Goat. Hard-rocking, hard-charging, reeking of rust and diesel, Phantom Fire proved they were their own band removed from any sort of lineal references. Better yet, perhaps, they were just getting started and already promised a debut full-length...which arrived a mere seven months later, bearing the title The Bust of Beelzebub. Flexing the same chops and some new ones, Phantom Fire's first full-length poignantly displayed a timeless HEAVY METAL magick, salaciously spanning pitch-black speed metal and moody epic metal alike. Not for nothing did the record reap widespread acclaim.
And now, little more than a year later, Phantom Fire are ready to REAP again with their second album, Eminente Lucifer Libertad. Masterfully so, the duo keep their core sound intact and yet show palpable new sides of it across this slightly longer and daresay-stronger record. Keeping schizophrenia at bay and working with a sinuous flow that's anything but jarring, Phantom Fire both ride the lightning of all-out speed here as often as they moodily march to pagan vastlands, sometimes all in the span of the same song. It results in a rowdier listen but also one that's stoic or even ceremonial; the chill of the tundra coats all of Eminente Lucifer Libertad, and so does the burning light of Lucifer (up)rising from beneath. "As above, so below," or so it goes: a Nordic heavy metal vomit party that turns into a Viking funeral, all on some cosmic dimension? The manner in which Eminente Lucifer Libertad moves is absolutely crucial here, as it's truly the epitome of an Album Experience; pieces could be moved, sure, but the track order is key in conveying Phantom Fire's ever-growing artistry.
Once again, Nifelheim's beloved Hellbutcher provides suitably twisted cover artwork for the album, and Enslaved's Iver Sandøy not only handled session drums, but also the album's production, mix, and mastering at Solslottet Studio. Free your mind and your demon wings will follow with Phantom Fire's Eminente Lucifer Libertad!
In the meantime, see & hear the brand-new video for "De Taptes Dans" HERE at Edged Circle's official YouTube channel. Preorder info can be found HERE at Edged Circle's Bandcamp. Aforementioned cover art and tracklisting are as follows:

Green King on "Steel on Ice":
Steel
On Ice is one of the first songs that shaped Green King's music into
what it is now - up-front guitar harmonies and riffs that make your
fingers wiggle. The song tells a story about love towards ice, warrior's
urge to destroy one's enemies, war and love at the gates of hell.
Behind all this is Sega Megadrive, NHL97 and many hazy nights spent at
our practice place's dirty couch.
Green King’s debut album "Hidden Beyond Time" will be released on the 16th of December via The Sign Records. The album will be available on transparent violet vinyl, green vinyl, CD (digipack) and all streaming platforms and is available for pre-order through Bandcamp or at THIS LOCATION

Legado de una Tragedia es la Ópera Rock en español más importante de todos los tiempos.

Su fundador Joaquín Padilla aúna en este proyecto sus dos grandes pasiones, el teatro musical y la música metal sinfónica.
Joaquín Padilla es un reconocido vocalista, compositor y productor español. Fue uno de los miembros fundadores de Iguana Tango, logrando siete sencillos Top1 en España.

Ricochets Shooting Star Indie Recordings 24 November 2022
RICOCHETS – SHOOTING STAR
RELEASE: NOVEMBER 24th
November 24th the Norwegian rock-legends Ricochets release their new single «Shooting Star».
This is the first taste from the band’s first album release in seventeen years, that will drop early 2023.
In
2019 Ricochets finally came back to play and captured crowds at
festivals all over Norway. Their live shows have gotten magnificent
reviews in the press and massive love from the crowds – that have become
both older and younger since last time!
The
experience of being back on stage awoke the creative powers of the
band, that ended up writing their fourth full-length album which will be
their first since 2005.
The
single Shooting Star is the first taste of what’s to come on the
upcoming album. A heavy, drifting, and energetic banger of a rock track,
that really carries the message that something big is on the way from a
band in its prime.
ABOUT RICOCHETS
Ricochets
started their career back in 1998, and quickly became a force to be
reckoned with in the Norwegian rock scene. Their debut album Slo-Mo
Suicide landed them a nomination to the Norwegian Grammy Awards, as
newcomer of the year, and their next album was also nominated the the
Norwegian Grammys, in the rock album of the year category.
In
2009 the band split up, and it wasn't before 2019 the band announced
that they were coming back. Ricochets return to festival stages have
thrilled the crowds at festivals as Øya, Bukta, Pstereo, Månefestivalen
and Tons of Rock since then, and they are now finally announcing that a
new album is set to release in 2023.
“Their
album trilogy is some of the most timeless and solid rock ever made in
Scandinavia, and they will stand as long as people listens to rock.
But we must not forget that this first and foremost var a live band.
They were so good that it was almost unbelievable”
- Egon Holstad
February 2023 the band goes back on tour with their brand new album “Closer to the Light”!
Members:
Trond Andreassen - Vocal
Knut Øyvind Olsen - Bass
Svenn Poppe JR - Piano
Fredrik Gretland - Guitars
Johan Edvardsson – Drums
