Father here my prayer <br />
You know I have failed <br />
Forgive all my wrongs <br />
I´ll redeem myself <br />
This world oh so shallow <br />
I know I failed <br />
I´ve strayed <br />
I´ve lost my way <br />
To late to repent <br />
Can I redeem me <br />
Forgive the wrongs I´ve done I know <br />
I can change be a better one <br />
The trumpets sound all over us <br />
And yet you defy <br />
The world we know doomed for the sins we´ve done <br />
No prayers will save you now <br />
The day of wrath has come who´ll stand <br />
All will be cleansed <br />
Cry aloud make us repent or all end <br />
Heaven or hell <br />
Can´t tell what´s right from wrong <br />
Be sure I will show you <br />
Not sure I can change it <br />
Forgive the wrongs I´ve done I know <br />
I can change be a better one <br />
The trumpets sound all over us <br />
And yet you defy <br />
The world we know doomed for the sins we´ve done <br />
No prayers will save you now <br />
The day of wrath has come who´ll stand <br />
All will be cleansed <br />
Cry aloud make us repent or all end <br />
Blow the horn let it rain <br />
Save your pennies for the river Styx <br />
Sound the horn cleansed by flames <br />
Rejoice the apocalypse <br />
If all should end <br />
What use was then <br />
To make me live <br />
Use all I could <br />
<br />
In need of more <br />
For every day <br />
Resources pour <br />
Nature loose more <br />
All will soon end <br />
The trumpets sound all over us <br />
And yet you defy <br />
The world we know doomed for the sins we´ve done <br />
No prayers will save you now <br />
The day of wrath has come who´ll stand <br />
All will be cleansed <br />
Cry aloud make us repent or all end </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Η Anette Olzon Blyckert ουσιαστικά συστήθηκε στο heavy metal κοινό μέσω των <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/NIGHTWISH" target="_blank">Nightwish</a></b>, στους οποίους διατέλεσε τραγουδίστρια. Η αντικαταστάτρια της Tarja Turunen έμεινε στην Φινλανδική μπάντα μία πενταετία (2007-2012) και εν συνεχεία αντικαταστάθηκε από την <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/FLOOR%20JANSEN?&max-results=10" target="_blank">Floor Jansen</a></b>. <br />
<br />
Έκτοτε συμμετέχει σε μπάντες / projects όπως οι <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/THE%20DARK%20ELEMENT" target="_blank">The Dark Element</a></b>, οι <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/ALLEN%20%2F%20OLZON" target="_blank">Allen / Olzon</a></b>, οι Alyson Avenue (το συγκρότημα που είχε πριν τους Nightwish και επανασυνδέθηκε το 2015), ενώ τραγουδά και στο Ιαπωνικό συγκρότημα Ultima Grace. <br />
<br />
Παράλληλα "τρέχει" και την προσωπική της καριέρα. Προ δεκαετίας (2014) κυκλοφόρησε το πρώτο της solo album ("Shine"). Επτά χρόνια αργότερα "βγήκε" ο διάδοχός του υπό τον τίτλο "Strong", με το τρίτο full length album να βρίσκεται προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Day of Wrath" και αναμένεται τον τελευταίο φθινοπωρινό μήνα... <br />
<br />
<blockquote><b>Δελτίο τύπου:</b> «Former Nightwish vocalist Anette Olzon (also partner of Jani Liimatainen in The Dark Element) is set to release her third solo album entitled “Rapture”. <br />
<br />
Similarly to Anette's second solo album “Strong,” the new release explores a much heavier and faster musical offering compared to her debut and once again stakes a claim for Anette’s well-deserved standing as one of the world's top female metal vocalists! <br />
<br />
Once again the music for "Rapture" was written and composed together with acclaimed Swedish guitarist and producer Magnus Karlsson. <br />
<br />
Together, Anette and Magnus managed to create an outstanding collection of songs, which showcase Anette’s enormous vocal range alongside Karlsson’s incendiary riffs. The growls, performed by Johan Husgafvel add some wonderful flavor to the sound, teased at first before taking their own spot in the limelight. <br />
<br />
Musically while we are in a territory encompassing various genres from the symphonic to the melodic power metal and a dash of melo-death, the songs remain catchy and boldly melodic. <br />
<br />
Coupled with Olzon's best and most versatile vocal display to date, “Rapture” is an album that masters the borders between heaviness and hookiness, all while showing an artist who doesn't rest on her laurels, but heads boldly into the future. <br />
<br />
Like every winning team that does not change, "Rapture" is once again mixed by Jacob Hansen (Pretty Maids, Volbeat, The Dark Element etc).»</blockquote></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Οκτώ έτη πέρασαν από την διάλυση των Motörhead, αλλά η δισκογραφική τους παρουσία συνεχίζεται... απρόσκοπτα! Live albums, συλλογές, singles, EPs, Boxed set κλπ. Από όλα έχει ο... μπαχτσές! "The Lost Tapes Vol. 5 (Live at Donington 2008)" το νέο τους πόνημα, με τον τίτλο να είναι άκρως χαρακτηριστικός του περιεχομένου του (live) δίσκου (πρόκειται για την εμφάνιση της μπάντας στο Download Festival στις 7 Ιουνίου 2008) και κυκλοφόρησε ανήμερα των γενεθλίων του Lemmy (24 Δεκεμβρίου 2023). Ακούμε τον Lemmy, τον Phil Campbell και τον Mikkey Dee, ενώ guest appearance (όπως λένε και στο χωριό μου) κάνει ο Würzel...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Ο Joe Petagno είναι πασίγνωστος στους heavy metal (κι όχι μόνο) κύκλους μέσω των Motörhead και ιδιαίτερα μέσω της μασκότ - λογοτύπου της θρυλικής μπάντας (Snaggletooth). Έχει συνεισφέρει εικαστικά σε δίσκους συγκροτημάτων όπως οι Led Zeppelin, Nazareth, Black Oak Arkansas, Hawkwind και σε πλειάδα heavy metal albums (των Paradox, Satan's Host, Marduk, Bewitched, Ignitor, Spirit Adrift, Pretty Maids, Bal-Sagoth, Sodom, Vader, Krisiun κλπ). <br />
<br />
Η μπάντα όμως με την οποία ταυτίσθηκε περισσότερο ήταν οι Motörhead. Ξεκίνησε με τα ξεκινήματα της παρέας του Lemmy και συνεχίσθηκε -τυπικά- μέχρι και το 2006 (βλ. το album "Kiss of Death"), αλλά ουσιαστικά μέχρι και την διάλυση του συγκροτήματος το 2015 καθώς το λογότυπο που δημιούργησε κρατούσε περίοπτη θέση και στα εξώφυλλα και των επόμενων δίσκων μετά το album "Kiss of Death". Στα κάτωθι βίντεο ο Joe Petagno μιλά για την σχέση του και την συνεργασία του με τους Motörhead...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Οι Born In Exile δημιουργήθηκαν στην Βαρκελώνη πριν από μία... ντουζίνα έτη. Progressive metal μπάντα με αναφερόμενες επιρροές μπάντες όπως οι Dream Theater, Rush, Opeth, Myrath, Leprous, Pink Floyd, Twelve Foot Ninja κλπ. <br />
<br />
Δισκογραφική παρουσία; Τρεις "ολοκληρωμένοι" δίσκοι ("Drizzle of Cosmos" 2017, "<b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/2020/03/born-in-exile-transcendence-album-stream.html" target="_blank">Transcendence</a></b>" 2020, "<b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/2023/09/born-in-exile-major-arcana-official.html" target="_blank">Major Arcana</a></b>" 2023), δύο EPs ("Live at Vampire Fest" 2021, "Arcane XIII" 2024) και κάποια singles. <br />
<br />
Ο δίσκος "<b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/2023/09/born-in-exile-major-arcana-official.html" target="_blank">Major Arcana</a></b>" αποτελείται από πέντε τραγούδια, με το επιλογικό "Arcane XIII" να "αγγίζει" τα 22 λεπτά.

Labeled as murderer he roams <br />
Exiled for killing his own kin <br />
Through hardship enters a new home <br />
And rests his head in Argolid <br />
<br />
There in temptation he resists <br />
Not to attaint his caring host <br />
But lies will poison the fair king <br />
Sent on a mission to be lost <br />
<br />
To suffer misguided <br />
Despair and benighted <br />
His passion ignited <br />
To slay the monster for his love <br />
<br />
When all hope has faded <br />
When all life seems fated <br />
And the world comes crumbling down <br />
When injustice thriving <br />
And your strength subsiding <br />
And you feel like you could drown <br />
Don't forget Bellerophon <br />
<br />
Right beside a drinking well <br />
A magic creature will reside <br />
With golden reins it will be tamed <br />
Him and the Pegasus will fly <br />
Above Chimeras hellish heads <br />
It's breath would melt all steel and stone <br />
But with a spear of leaded head <br />
The flying knight will be atoned <br />
<br />
To suffer, misguided <br />
Despair and benighted <br />
His passion ignited <br />
To slay the monster for his love <br />
<br />
When all hope has faded <br />
When all life seems fated <br />
And the world comes crumbling down <br />
When injustice thriving <br />
And your strength subsiding <br />
And you feel like you could drown <br />
Don't forget Bellerophon <br />
<br />
His might and Valor he has shown <br />
No other mountain left to overcome <br />
He lays his gaze upon Olympus <br />
The wrath of Zeus shall rise <br />
For it is said that men of hubris <br />
Will never see the light <br />
<br />
When all hope has faded <br />
When all life seems fated <br />
And the world comes crumbling down <br />
When injustice thriving <br />
And your strength subsiding <br />
And you feel like you could drown <br />
Don't forget Bellerophon <br />
<br />
(The flying knight will shine so bright) <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Ο Γιώργος Λουκίσσας ξεκίνησε να παίζει κιθάρα το 1998. Έδωσε τα πρώτα live του στην Αγγλία όπου σπούδαζε το διάστημα 2000-2003. Στην συνέχεια συνεργάστηκε με μουσικά σχήματα διαφόρων ειδών όπως τους Salveo (Ελληνικό ροκ συγκρότημα), και τους Treebute (ποπ - ροκ μπάντα). <br />
<br />
Από το 2012 ξεκίνησε να συνθέτει, να παίζει και να ηχογραφεί σε heavy / power metal μουσικά μονοπάτια. Μας συστήνεται κάπως έτσι: <br />
<br />

All my life I've been a rebel <br />
Rocking the night away <br />
All I want is to play guitar <br />
And wash my blues away <br />
I've been in countries and to mountains <br />
I've been around the world <br />
I should have known this lonely road <br />
Would take me away <br />
<br />
Oh can't you see, <br />
I'm a wicked boy trying to find a dream <br />
Troubles on my back, <br />
Never been enough <br />
Wicked boy I guess I'll always be <br />
Having Fun <br />
<br />
All you people got to know, <br />
Rock is here to stay <br />
You've got to rock and you've got to roll <br />
Hear me when I say <br />
Lived this life of gasoline, <br />
Fire and dirty road <br />
Wouldn't change a thing my baby <br />
That's what I'm made of <br />
<br />
Oh can't you see, <br />
I'm a wicked boy trying to find a dream <br />
Troubles on my back, never been enough <br />
Wicked boy I guess I'll always be <br />
<br />
The wind is howling, the sun is rolling, <br />
The thunder is rising <br />
I'm coming to you babe <br />
Come on, come on, come on <br />
Won't you take this ride with me? <br />
I'll take you where I want to baby <br />
And I'll set your spirit free <br />
<br />
Oh can't you see, <br />
I'm a wicked boy trying to find a dream <br />
Troubles on my back, never been enough <br />
Oh can't you see, <br />
I'm a wicked boy trying to find a dream <br />
Troubles on my back, never been enough <br />
Wicked boy I guess I'll always be <br />
Having Fun </span><br />

There will come a day <br />
When you need me <br />
And you feel like you're going insane <br />
Even when I'm gone <br />
And you can't see me <br />
I'll be there to whisper in your veins <br />
To run like the river <br />
Stand tall like the mountain tops <br />
Everything you want in this lifetime <br />
Is yours to conquer <br />
<br />
I'll stay with you all through your pain <br />
Blood of my blood <br />
Remember your name <br />
<br />
'Cause when the nightsky is coming down <br />
I'm watching over you <br />
And when the darkness falls <br />
Just close your eyes <br />
Remember your name <br />
<br />
Desperation <br />
You feel like you're losing control <br />
Even in the smallest vibrations <br />
I am there, the whisper in your veins <br />
To run like the river <br />
<br />
'Cause when the nightsky is coming down <br />
I'm watching over you <br />
And when the darkness falls <br />
Just close your eyes <br />
Remember your name <br />
Cause when the nightsky is coming down <br />
I'll walk you through the rain <br />
And when the sadness closes in on you <br />
Remember your name <br />
<br />
Give life to a brand new day <br />
Remember your name <br />
Being brave does not mean you're no afraid <br />
It means you do it anyway <br />
<br />
'Cause when the nightsky is coming down <br />
I'm watching over you <br />
And when the darkness falls <br />
Just close your eyes <br />
Remember your name <br />
Cause when the nightsky is coming down <br />
I'll walk you through the rain <br />
And when the sadness closes in on you <br />
Remember your name <br />
Always remember you name </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Δισκογραφική επιστροφή πέρυσι για τους Kamelot μετά από μία πενταετία (ουσιαστικά τρία χρόνια αν συνυπολογίσουμε και το "ζωντανά" ηχογραφημένο album "I Am the Empire: Live from the 013"). Ο διάδοχος του δίσκου "The Shadow Theory" και 13ος συνολικά full length album των Αμερικανών metallers φέρει τον τίτλο "The Awakening"... <br />
<br />
<blockquote><b>Δελτίο τύπου:</b> «"As one of the most innovative and prestigious bands in modern symphonic metal, heavy icons Kamelot have reigned supreme with the release of internationally top-charting melodic metal pinnacles such as The Fourth Legacy (1999), The Black Halo (2005), Silverthorn (2012), Haven (2015, #1 US Hard Rock Albums), and most recently 2018’s acclaimed The Shadow Theory (#2 US Hard Music Albums, and an album Metal Hammer dubbed, “so epic it could be a film soundtrack”), and by headlining tours worldwide and delivering massive performances at top festivals around the globe. <br />
<br />
Now, the quintet set their sights beyond formulaic confines with their most introspective, uplifting, vital release to date - their first full-length in five years, 2023’s aptly titled The Awakening. The album shines as a massive and diverse offering mixing symphonic, melodic and power metal styles, yielding some of the heaviest tracks in Kamelot’s history. <br />
<br />
Kamelot is one of few bands in the symphonic genre to fully embrace the dark, but of course, there can be no light without it. Inspiring, engaging lyrical themes of determination, strength, overcoming personal battles and growth are abound on The Awakening, provoked by extreme societal shifts and the overwhelming realization that we have such a brief time to be true to ourselves and live life to its fullest. <br />
<br />
With crystal clear modern production helmed by the band and longtime producer Sascha Paeth, plus mastering by Jacob Hansen of Hansen Studios, Kamelot’s score-like 13th studio album is accented by guest contributions from the likes of Melissa Bonny (Ad Infinitum) and renowned instrumentalists like violinist Florian Janoske and Grammy nominated, soundtrack-featured cellist Tina Guo. <br />
<br />
Tracks honoring Kamelot trademarks like cinematic “The Great Divide” and darkly hopeful eternal farewell to a loved one, “Eventide”, prove that while The Awakening stays true to the aural foundations fans have embraced for decades, equally-addictive outputs like “One More Flag in the Ground” - a radio-ready anthem about overcoming seemingly unbeatable illness and the mental challenges we all face, featuring additional vocal layers from JUNO Award winning musician and producer Brian Howes - showcase a band devoid of sonic stagnancy. <br />
<br />
Profound compositions are plentiful, like stage-ready, operatic “Opus of the Night (Ghost Requiem)”, which features a hair-raising dual solo from guitarist Thomas Youngblood and guest cellist Tina Guo, as well as epic, synth-laden “New Babylon”, elevated by the dynamic vocal attack of frontman Tommy Karevik and <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/AD%20INFINITUM?&max-results=10" target="_blank">Ad Infinitum</a></b>’s Melissa Bonny. <br />
<br />
Further balancing darkness with light, grooving, heartfelt “NightSky” and ode to conquering one’s adversities “My Pantheon (Forevermore)” boast some of the album’s heaviest moments and most complex guitar solos, while pensive hymns such as Celtic-infused “Midsummer’s Eve” and ebbing-and-flowing hymn of cherished memories “Willow” provide necessary balance to an album fittingly primed for spectacular performances to come. <br />
<br />
Showcasing the incomparable, stage-seasoned vocal acrobatics of Tommy Karevik and increasingly airtight, renowned technical teamwork of guitarist Thomas Youngblood, drummer Alex Landenburg, keyboardist Oliver Palotai and bassist Sean Tibbets, The Awakening embraces enlivening themes that every listener can relate to. <br />
<br />
Kamelot’s intense brand of ultramodern gothic and symphonic theatricality is amplified further and with more emotionality than ever on this inspiring, anticipated addition to the Kamelot legacy.»</blockquote></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Οι Tad Morose της δεκαετίας του ενενήντα αποτελούν μία από τις (πολύ) αγαπημένες μου μπάντες. Τρεις δίσκοι (συν ένα ep), ο ένας καλύτερος από τον άλλο με αποκορύφωμα το (εξωπραγματικά καλό) "A Mended Rhyme" του 1997. Κάπου εκεί η στόχευση αρχίζει και αλλάζει. <br />
<br />
Οι Tad Morose αντικαθιστούν τον πληκτρά (και άνθρωπο - ορχήστρα) Fredrik Eriksson με δεύτερο κιθαρίστα (Daniel Olsson) και μετατρέπονται σε μία "καθαρόαιμη" power metal μπάντα. Κάπου εκεί αρχίζουν και "με χάνουν" θεωρώντας ότι έριξαν νερό στο κρασί τους και απεμπόλησαν (κάποια από) τα στοιχεία που τους έκαναν να ξεχωρίζουν. <br />
<br />
Κάπως έτσι δεν ασχολήθηκα με τον δίσκο "Undead" όταν κυκλοφόρησε (το έκανα μεταγενέστερα). Με κάποιον τρόπο έπεσε στα χέρια μου το αμέσως επόμενο album των Tad Morose "Matters of the Dark" (Ιανουάριος 2002). Με το που "σκάει" το εναρκτήριο τραγούδι ("Sword of Retribution") έχω ήδη αναθεωρήσει! <br />
<br />
Όχι δεν είναι επιπέδου "A Mended Rhyme", αλλά η μαγεία είναι ακόμη εκεί και ο δίσκος τα "σπάει". Τελικά η σχέση μου με το Σουηδικό συγκρότημα διακόπηκε (αν κι όχι οριστικά, καθώς τους παρακολουθώ εξ αποστάσεως) το 2005 όταν αποχώρησε η φωνάρα Urban Breed! Χωρίς πολλά φρου - φρου κι αρώματα το "Matters Of The Dark" αποτελεί μία από τις καλύτερες power metal προτάσεις της πρώτης δεκαετίας της παρούσας χιλιετίας. <br />
<br />
Ακούμε τον Urban Breed (φωνητικά), τον Christer Andersson (κιθάρα), Daniel Olsson (κιθάρα, πλήκτρα), Anders Modd (μπάσο), Peter Morén (τύμπανα), ενώ σε δύο τραγούδια ("Matters of the Dark", "Reason of the Ghost") συμμετέχει και η φωνή των Morgana Lefay, Charles "Chulle" Rytkönen. Ο δίσκος κυκλοφόρησε για πρώτη φορά σε ψηφιακή μορφή τον προηγούμενο μήνα (8 Φεβρουαρίου 2024) μέσω της Century Media Records... <br />
<br />
<blockquote><b>Δελτίο τύπου:</b> «The overwhelmingly brightest chapter in the history of the Swedish power metal outfit Tad Morose. Pounding original songs which carry on the early, traditional spirit of bands like <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/SAVATAGE?&max-results=10" target="_blank">Savatage</a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/BLACK%20SABBATH?&max-results=10" target="_blank">Black Sabbath</a></b> and <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/JAG%20PANZER?&max-results=10" target="_blank">Jag Panzer</a></b> with a great amount of melody and epic feel. <br />
<br />
Timeless power metal tunes with a catchy, powerful and riff-oriented approach as well as monumental melodic vocal lines that simply won’t leave your mind after an initial listening. Heavily grooving midpaced songs sit perfectly next to speedy and thunderous material as well as utterly melodic and technically challenging pieces.»</blockquote></div>

Trapped within this hideaway <br />
The world above burned down in flames <br />
In the night a lonely satellite <br />
Left to die out here alone <br />
Defenders of an empty throne <br />
The last command <br />
Here is where we make our final stand <br />
<br />
With a burning heart <br />
With a burning heart <br />
With a burning heart <br />
(You still have so far to go) <br />
With a burning heart <br />
(It's the end of the world we know) <br />
<br />
With a burning heart <br />
Eyes of fire, cold as ice <br />
With a burning heart <br />
See how the winds will changе <br />
If a moment's all we are <br />
In thе sky of a million stars <br />
With a burning heart <br />
We'll fight another day <br />
<br />
[Solo: Sam] <br />
<br />
Wars are raging in my mind <br />
Soon to cross the danger line <br />
High and dry but we still feel alive <br />
Kill the outcasts, slay the hordes <br />
Crush the dark knight's overlords <br />
Genocide, now it's time <br />
To say your last goodbyes <br />
<br />
[Solo: Herman] <br />
<br />
With a burning heart <br />
With a burning heart <br />
With a burning heart <br />
(Now there's no turning back) <br />
With a burning heart <br />
(We're all under attack) <br />
<br />
With a burning heart <br />
Eyes of fire, cold as ice <br />
With a burning heart <br />
See how the winds will change <br />
If a moment's all we are <br />
In the sky of a million stars <br />
With a burning heart <br />
We'll fight another day <br />
<br />
[Solos: Alicia / Sam / Herman / Dual / Herman / Sam / Herman / Sam] <br />
<br />
Dark eyes, hearts of fire <br />
Prisoners of this city <br />
In the world alone <br />
Find a way to escape <br />
<br />
With a burning heart <br />
Eyes of fire, cold as ice <br />
<br />
With a burning heart <br />
Eyes of fire, cold as ice <br />
With a burning heart <br />
See how the winds will change <br />
If a moment's all we are <br />
In the sky of a million stars <br />
With a burning heart <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Οι DragonForce μας έρχονται από την πρωτεύουσα της Αγγλίας. Δημιουργήθηκαν το μακρινό 1999 (τα δύο πρώτα χρόνια ως DragonHeart), μας συστήνονται ως «<span style="font-family: Lobster; font-size: medium;">Grammy nominated, RIAA Platinum extreme power metal band</span>», αυτοχαρακτηρίζονται ως «<span style="font-family: Lobster; font-size: medium;">the fastest band in the world</span>» και έχουν κυκλοφορήσει -μεταξύ άλλων- εννέα (9) full length albums. Το ένατο (και πλέον πρόσφατο) φέρει τον τίτλο "Warp Speed Warriors" και "βγήκε" προ ημερών... <br />
<br />
<blockquote><b>Δελτίο τύπου:</b> «The world’s fastest band, GRAMMY nominated extreme power metal legends DragonForce, are Warp Speed Warriors! The iconic unit is known for their masterful, unparalleled and lightning-fast signature guitar solos that influenced a whole genre. <br />
<br />
The band around virtuoso guitarists and founding members Herman Li and Sam Totman are highly inspired by a myriad of heavy metal styles, fantasy realms and video games. <br />
<br />
Formed in 1999, DragonForce has captivated audiences worldwide with their highly successful records and iconic singles, including the platinum-selling hit "Through the Fire and Flames" - the ultimate challenge for gamers on the legendary “Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock”. <br />
<br />
Renowned for their epic compositions that expand the boundaries of heavy metal, on their highly anticipated new full-length, DragonForce explore a wider range of varying musical styles than ever before, evolving their sound throughout the exciting musical journey. <br />
<br />
Breathtaking opening track “Astro Warrior Anthem” lives up to DragonForce’s reputation as the world's fastest band, captivating the listener from the very beginning and stunning with guitar solos delivered at an extreme speed. <br />
<br />
Following Zelda inspired track “Power of the Triforce” keeps the volume high before DragonForce temporarily slows it down for the ballad ”Kingdom of Steel”. Rapid drum patterns and thrilling guitars carry the catchy “Burning Heart”, while chanting “Space Marine Corp” features a strong and uplifting chorus. <br />
<br />
Electronic influences on grandiose power metal anthem “The Killer Queen” hypnotize, as singer Marc Hudson’s vocals reach for the skies. On “Doomsday Party”, 80s rock influences meet captivating retro video game soundscapes and epic guitar solos in true DragonForce manner. <br />
<br />
The last original track on Warp Speed Warriors, “Pixel Prison”, is followed by DragonForce's unexpected yet brilliant cover of Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)”, that wraps up the epic adventure. <br />
<br />
Warp Speed Warriors, produced by Herman Li, Sam Totman and Damien Rainaud -and mixed and mastered by the latter- is a matchless, innovative listening experience that continues the band's legacy with songs that will, without a shadow of a doubt, become instant classics in and beyond the DragonForce canon.»</blockquote></div>

She's got a smile that it seems, to me <br />
Reminds me of childhood memories <br />
Where everything was as fresh <br />
As the bright blue sky (Sky) <br />
<br />
Now and then, when I see her face <br />
She takes me away to that special place <br />
And if I stared too long, <br />
I'd probably break down and cry </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Χρειάζεται όντως εισαγωγικός πρόλογος για να παρουσιάσω ένα από τα πλέον γνωστά τραγούδια όχι μόνο των Guns N' Roses αλλά στο ευρύτερο rock / hard rock / heavy metal μουσικό φάσμα; <br />
<br />
Αναφέρομαι στο τραγούδι "Sweet Child o' Mine", το οποίο πρωτογνωρίσαμε στον δίσκο των GnR "Appetite for Destruction" (το τρίτο μουσικό κομμάτι της δεύτερης πλευράς του βινυλίου) που κυκλοφόρησε το καλοκαίρι (21 Ιουλίου) του 1987 ("βγήκε" έναν μήνα πριν και αυτόνομα ως single με την "ζωντανή" απόδοση του "It's So Easy" στην δεύτερη πλευρά του βινυλίου). <br />
<br />
Σήμερα όμως δεν θα σταθούμε στην αυθεντική εκτέλεση του τραγουδιού, αλλά στην ορχηστρική (instrumental) προσέγγιση του Thomas Zwijsen. <br />
<br />
«<span style="font-family: Lobster; font-size: medium;">Sweet Child O Mine by Guns n Roses, Guitar Cover on Classical Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar by Thomas Zwijsen. This Fingerstyle Guitar Cover includes all parts simultaneously on one guitar, including the famous guitar intro and guitar solo by Slash and all Axl Rose's vocal melodies</span>» μας λέει χαρακτηριστικά. <br />
<br />
Πρόκειται για 36χρονο καλλιτέχνη, ο οποίος μας έρχεται από την Ολλανδία (αν και γεννήθηκε στο Βέλγιο). Κλασικός κιθαρίστας που μας συστήνεται κάπως έτσι: «<span style="font-family: Lobster; font-size: medium;">My mission is to bring Heavy Metal to the Classical Guitar world and vice versa, combining the greatness of heavy metal compositions with the beautiful tone of the classical guitar</span>». <br />
<br />
Τον έχουμε ακούσει σε δίσκους του <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/BLAZE%20BAYLEY?&max-results=10" target="_blank">Blaze Bayley</a></b>, ενώ "τρέχει" και την προσωπική του καριέρα με διψήφιο αριθμό solo albums και την σειρά "Nylon Maiden" (πέντε δίσκοι) να ξεχωρίζει...</div>

One small voice had a dream <br />
Now he's seen the other side <br />
One small heart ached for his people <br />
His children, and his pride <br />
<br />
Just one man <br />
With one hope for the world <br />
Just one man <br />
And one small voice was heard <br />
<br />
One small voice had a cause <br />
So he lived in a cage <br />
One small love that endured <br />
Through his pain and his rage <br />
<br />
Just one man <br />
With one hope for the world <br />
Just one man <br />
And one small voice that was heard <br />
<br />
One small voice <br />
Just one small voice </span><br />

Η Αμερικάνικη μπάντα με τον Terry Gorle στην κιθάρα, τον Derek Peace στο μπάσο, τον Ray Schwartz στα τύμπανα, τον Op Sakiya στα πλήκτρα και τον Will Shaw στα φωνητικά απέδωσε "ζωντανά" σετ 18 τραγουδιών.

The wind is still <br />
And the night is long <br />
The morning brings on the sun <br />
Rain now forever <br />
When this I found <br />
My coming would bring on the sound <br />
<br />
(I am the thunder) <br />
That starts the rain <br />
(I see the heavens) <br />
Open the gates <br />
(I am the lightning) <br />
That lights up the sky <br />
(I have the answer) <br />
The secret is mine <br />
<br />
Whoa-woah <br />
The secret is mine <br />
<br />
From heaven in Neptune <br />
The raging seas <br />
Moonlight in nations and kings <br />
For ages and ages <br />
My messengers bring <br />
Songs for the angels to sing <br />
<br />
Sing it <br />
<br />
(I am the thunder) <br />
That starts the rain <br />
(I see the heavens) <br />
Open the gates <br />
(I am the lightning) <br />
That lights up the sky <br />
(I have the answer) <br />
The secret is mine <br />
<br />
I am fire at night <br />
I am the cold of the night <br />
The valley's echo is mine <br />
My legend lives on through time <br />
<br />
Bang! <br />
<br />
Giants and saucers <br />
They cannot withstand <br />
The power I hold in my hands <br />
Meekness is weakness <br />
And I'll surpass <br />
My strength to my own vengeant last <br />
<br />
(I am the thunder) <br />
That starts the rain <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Τον Απρίλιο του μακρινού 1989 κυκλοφορούσε -μέσω της Island Records- ο τρίτος "ολοκληρωμένος" δίσκος των Leatherwolf υπό τον τίτλο "Street Ready". Καλύτερος, χειρότερος ή στα ίδιο επίπεδα με τον (υπέροχο) αμέσως προηγούμενο ("<b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/2023/06/back-to-future-leatherwolf-leatherwolf.html" target="_blank">Leatherwolf</a></b>" - Ιανουάριος 1987); Άλλη κουβέντα αυτή. <br />
<br />
Εκεί βρίσκεται πιθανά το πλέον αναγνωρίσιμο τραγούδι τους ("<b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/2022/10/leatherwolf-hideaway-official-music.html" target="_blank">Hideaway</a></b>" ή μήπως είναι το "Thunder";). Εστιάζουμε στο δεύτερο και σας το παρουσιάζουμε προς ακρόαση. <br />
<br />
Leatherwolf: μπάντα μελωδικού (US) heavy metal με επικές εξάρσεις. Σχηματίσθηκε το μακρινό 1981 και μία δεκαετία αργότερα μετονομάσθηκε σε HailMary για δύο χρόνια. Οι Leatherwolf επανήλθαν το 1999 και συνεχίζουν μέχρι τις ημέρες μας. Ξεχώρισαν για τους τρεις κιθαρίστες (η αποκαλούμενη triple axe attack). Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει έξι "ολοκληρωμένους" στουντιακούς δίσκους, τέσσερα demos, επτά singles, δύο EPs και δύο live albums.</div>

Watched closely all the while <br />
Don't be fooled when he cries <br />
Keep looking at the eyes <br />
<br />
Good life is contradiction <br />
Because of the crucifixion <br />
If you're ready and have the need <br />
I will take your soul and plant my seed <br />
<br />
You just gotta listen to the night at the ending of the day <br />
You just gotta listen to the night as safety slips away <br />
Moving out of sight are the things you need to see to feel <br />
And as they slip away becoming so unreal unreal <br />
You just gotta listen to the night as you're going up stairs <br />
You just gotta listen to the night and don't forget to say your prayers <br />
And as you lose control to the eyes in dark disguise <br />
And icy fingers fan electric lies <br />
<br />
We're disturbing the priest <br />
Won't you please come to our feast <br />
Do we mind disturbing the priest <br />
Not at all not at all not in the least <br />
<br />
The force of the devil is the darkness the priest has to face <br />
The force of the night will destroy him but will not disgrace <br />
To get into his mind and to his soul you gotta set a light <br />
The flames of doubt so deep inside inside <br />
The devil and the priest can't exist if one goes away <br />
It's just like the battle of the sun and the moon and the night and day <br />
The force of the devil that we're all told to fear <br />
Watched out for religion when he gets too near too near </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Πίσω στην δεκαετία του ογδόντα ήταν μεγάλο (τί μεγάλο; μέγιστο) θέμα συζήτησης και αντιπαράθεσης οι Black Sabbath στην μετά <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/OZZY?&max-results=10" target="_blank">Ozzy</a></b> εποχή. Υπήρχαν υποστηρικτές και πολέμιοι. Σωστά επιχειρήματα έβρισκες και στα δύο "στρατόπεδα". <br />
<br />
Εγώ πάντως ήμουν (και παραμένω) από τους θετικούς στα νέα βήματα του Iommi. Black Rainbow, Purple Sabbath, πείτε τους όπως θέλετε, όμως οι Sabs έβγαλαν δισκάρες. Ένα από τα πιο υποτιμημένα album (θεωρώ ότι) ήταν (και παραμένει;) το "<b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/2023/03/black-sabbath-born-again-official-album.html" target="_blank">Born Again</a></b>" του 1983 (το βινύλιο κοσμεί την δισκοθήκη μου) με τον Ian Gillan στα φωνητικά. <br />
<br />
Το τραγούδι "Disturbing the Priest" είναι το τρίτο της πρώτης πλευράς του βινυλίου και το αγαπημένο του Bill Ward από τον δίσκο (μαζί με το "Zero the Hero"). Ο Tony και ο Bill είχαν για το τραγούδι πίσω στην δεκαετία του ενενήντα στο Sabbath fanzine "Southern Cross"... <br />
<br />
<blockquote><b>Tony Iommi [Southern Cross (Sabbath fanzine) #21 - May 1998]:</b> «We wanted this effect on 'Disturbing the Priest'," recalled the guitarist, "and Bill got this big bucket of water and he got this anvil. It was really heavy, and he'd got it hanging on a piece of rope and lower it in to get this effect: hit it and lower it in, and then lift it out again. It was a great effect, but it took hours to do.» <br />
<br />
<b>Bill Ward [Southern Cross (Sabbath fanzine) #18 - October 1996]:</b> «I did some of the best drum work on that album... On 'Disturbing the Priest', there were some polyrhythms and some counterpoint things that I was doing, and I was using at least twenty different pieces of percussion towards the end of that song… I was real proud of a lot of the work that I did. Some of it invariably got lost in the mix, but I know that it's printed on those tracks.»</blockquote></div>

Oh I wish I was in Dixie away, away <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Η "Αμερικάνικη Τριλογία" ("An American Trilogy") ήταν μία μίξη (medley που λένε και στο χωριό μου) τριών τραγουδιών του 18ου αιώνα, των: <br />
<br />
➥ "Dixie" [επίσης γνωστό ως "Dixie's Land" η "I Wish I Was in Dixie"] <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
➥ "Battle Hymn of the Republic" [επίσης γνωστό ως "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory" εκ των ύμνων του "Στρατού της Ένωσης" -τον Ομοσπονδιακό στρατό δηλαδή- στον Αμερικάνικο εμφύλιο πόλεμο (1861-1865)] </div>
<br />
➥ "All My Trials" [ένα νανούρισμα από τις Μπαχάμες] <br />
<br />
Το "πάντρεμα" των τριών τραγουδιών έγινε από τον συνθέτη κάντρι μουσικής Mickey Newbury. Το "An American Trilogy" πρωτοκυκλοφόρησε στον δίσκο του Mickey,"Frisco Mabel Joy" (το εισαγωγικό κομμάτι), τον Οκτώβριο του 1971, ενώ έγινε πασίγνωστο από την ερμηνεία του Elvis Presley. <br />
<br />
Έκτοτε έχει γνωρίσει πάρα πολλές προσεγγίσεις - διασκευές. Μία εξ' αυτών από τους Manowar. Ήταν Ιούλιος του 2002 όταν κυκλοφόρησε το ένατο στουντιακό full length album των Αμερικανών metallers υπό τον τίτλο "Warriors of the World". <br />
<br />
Είναι το έκτο τραγούδι του δίσκου (τελευταίο της πρώτης πλευράς για όσους έχουν το βινύλιο). Έναν μήνα αργότερα κυκλοφόρησε και ως single, το οποίο περιλάμβανε ακόμη το "The Fight for Freedom" και μία ορχηστρική έκδοση του <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/2014/02/puccini-pavarotti-manowar.html" target="_blank">"Nessun Dorma"</a></b>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Σχεδόν τέσσερις δεκαετίες πίσω μας γυρίζουν οι Scorpions και μας παρουσιάζουν βίντεο με την "ζωντανή" απόδοσή τους στο (ορχηστρικό) μουσικό κομμάτι "Coast To Coast". Πού και πότε έγιναν όλα αυτά; Στο μουσικό φεστιβάλ Rock In Rio, το μακρινό 1985. <br />
<br />
Την εν λόγω μουσική σύνθεση την γνωρίσαμε στον (κλασικό) δίσκο της Γερμανικής μπάντας "Lovedrive" (το τελευταίο κομμάτι της πρώτης πλευράς του βινυλίου) που κυκλοφόρησε τον χειμώνα του 1979. Την μουσική "υπογράφει" ο Rudolf Schenker...</div>

Oh, I feel it in the air <br />
Determination <br />
But I stop and stare <br />
Hellbound <br />
Going down <br />
To the place I was before <br />
Faster than a bullet train <br />
I’m coming back for more <br />
<br />
You keep me hanging on <br />
When the whole world’s gone <br />
And done you wrong <br />
<br />
A universal state of mind <br />
In disrepair <br />
The culmination of violence <br />
And it’s everywhere <br />
Apocalyptic serenity <br />
Distracted by design <br />
Lost in eternity <br />
Exchanged for a piece of mind <br />
<br />
You keep me hanging on <br />
When the whole world’s gone <br />
And done you wrong <br />
Hanging on <br />
The world we knew has come undone <br />
<br />
If you could see behind these tired eyes <br />
(If you could see behind these tired eyes) <br />
Would you give it all away <br />
(Give it all away) <br />
<br />
You keep me hanging on <br />
When the whole world’s gone <br />
And done you wrong <br />
Hanging on <br />
The world we knew has come undone </span><br />

Whenever I try to reach my own shadows <br />
It kills me to feel so lost <br />
And when I try to remember who I was back then <br />
I can't even tell my name <br />
<br />
No place, no time, no one I can trust <br />
Too far, too late to find a light in the black <br />
It makes me feel like It's all wasted <br />
Too tired, too ripped to even cry <br />
<br />
We turn the page, <br />
So we can say we don't care <br />
The fear, the pride... <br />
The useless trying <br />
I know, you know... <br />
It's all pretending <br />
Is this the fate that we all chase? <br />
<br />
Who's gonna be there? <br />
Who's gonna stand the ground <br />
Tell me you won't back down... <br />
Tell me you won't <br />
<br />
Live up on memories <br />
Of Heroes who walked alone <br />
Everything's down to you <br />
<br />
Chorus <br />
Let the nightmare come... <br />
Darkness overcomed <br />
Let the nightmare come... <br />
Ready to reborn <br />
<br />
No rest in sight, forever wounded <br />
No flesh is left for any more scars <br />
The fear, the dark, the nevermore <br />
So real, so near, it never ends <br />
<br />
Outside, the world it seems to be not my kind <br />
Inside my mind nothing but old lies <br />
The ones they tell me to keep saying <br />
Embrace the time before the fall <br />
<br />
Who's gonna be there? <br />
Who's gonna stand the ground <br />
Tell me you won't back down... <br />
Tell me you won't <br />
<br />
Live up on memories <br />
Of Heroes who walked alone <br />
Everything's down to you </span><br />

White man came across the sea <br />
He brought us pain and misery <br />
He killed our tribes, he killed our creed <br />
He took our game for his own need <br />
<br />
We fought him hard, we fought him well <br />
Out on the plains we gave him hell <br />
But many came, too much for Cree <br />
Oh, will we ever be set free? <br />
<br />
Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes <br />
Galloping hard on the plains <br />
Chasing the redskins back to their holes <br />
Fighting them at their own game <br />
Murder for freedom the stab in the back <br />
Women and children are cowards, attack <br />
<br />
Run to the hills <br />
Run for your lives <br />
Run to the hills <br />
Run for your lives <br />
<br />
Soldier blue in the barren wastes <br />
Hunting and killing's a game <br />
Raping the women and wasting the men <br />
The only good Indians are tame <br />
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold <br />
Enslaving the young and destroying the old <br />
<br />
Run to the hills <br />
Run for your lives <br />
Run to the hills <br />
Run for your lives <br />
<br />
Yeah <br />
Ah, ah, ah, ah <br />
<br />
Run to the hills <br />
Run for your lives <br />
Run to the hills <br />
Run for your lives <br />
Run to the hills <br />
Run for your lives <br />
Run to the hills <br />
Run for your lives </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Συλλογή η δισκογραφική πρόταση των Mob Rules για το 2024. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Celebration Day: 30 Years of Mob Rules" και αφορά (όπως μαρτυρά και ο τίτλος) την συμπλήρωση τριάντα ετών από την δημιουργία της μουσική μπάντας. Θα "βγει" σε διπλό cd και αναμένεται στα ξεκινήματα του τελευταίου φθινοπωρινού μήνα. <br />
<br />
Οι Mob Rules μας έρχονται από την Γερμανία. Δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από τρεις δεκαετίες, πήραν το όνομά τους από τον δίσκο (και τραγούδι) των <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/BLACK%20SABBATH?&max-results=10" target="_blank">Black Sabbath</a></b>, μας συστήνονται ως «<b>Melodic Power Metal from northern Germany. Formed in 1994 and rooted in classic Heavy Metal, NWOBH, Hard Rock and Progressive Metal</b>» και έχουν κυκλοφορήσει δέκα "ολοκληρωμένους" στουντιακούς δίσκους (αν συνυπολογίσουμε και το album "Timekeeper (20th Anniversary Box)", δύο EPs, ισάριθμα live albums, μία συλλογή, ένα boxed set και μπόλικα (16) singles... <br />
<br />
<blockquote><b>Δελτίο τύπου:</b> «Northern German melodic power metallers Mob Rules are celebrating their 30th anniversary. Time to let it rip! With "Celebration Day - 30 Years Of Mob Rules", the band around singer Klaus Dirks releases a compilation that could hardly have become more extensive and of higher quality. <br />
<br />
With over 150 minutes of playing time (spread over two CDs), the capacity of the medium is stretched to the limit with 30 hand-picked songs, including not only obvious band classics such as "Black Rain", "Hollowed Be Thy Name" and "Rain Song", but also songs that have previously been less in the spotlight.»</blockquote></div>

In the land of the rising sun <br />
A new legend has begun <br />
Arise the master of war <br />
With intentions to unite <br />
Firearms would lead the fight <br />
Behold the great unifier <br />
There’s no greater honor <br />
Bring an end to sorrow <br />
Will the empire last forever? <br />
Sound the charge in the eventide <br />
No turning back into glory ride <br />
Thunder strikes land the killing blow <br />
No turning back for the Daimyo <br />
Devil king of the Oda clan <br />
Riding on across the land <br />
And purged the Enryako-ji <br />
Through the battles on and on <br />
”If you wish for peace, prepare for war” <br />
He had to believe <br />
And without destruction <br />
There is no creation <br />
Will the empire live forever? <br />
Sound the charge in the eventide <br />
No turning back into glory ride <br />
Thunder strikes land the killing blow <br />
No turning back for the Daimyo <br />
Everything comes to an end <br />
For the turn of a trusted friend <br />
Alone he made his last stand <br />
In the year 1582 in a temple of Kyoto <br />
He died by the blade in his hand <br />
There’s no greater honor <br />
Bring an end to sorrow <br />
Will the empire last forever? <br />
Sound the charge in the eventide <br />
No turning back into glory ride <br />
Thunder strikes land the killing blow <br />
No turning back for the Daimyo </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Προ τετραετίας (2020) δύο μέλη του Σουηδικού hard rock συγκροτήματος <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/HEAT" target="_blank">H.E.A.T.</a></b> (ο τραγουδιστής Erik Grönwall και ο Jona Tee) σχημάτισαν power metal σχήμα υπό το όνομα New Horizon. Το ντεμπούτο τους υπό τον τίτλο "Gate Of The Gods" κυκλοφόρησε πρόπερσι. <br />
<br />
Εν έτει 2024 οι New Horizon είναι πανέτοιμοι για τον διάδοχό του. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Conquerors" κι αναμένεται στα μέσα του πρώτου καλοκαιρινού μήνα. Στα φωνητικά θα ακούσουμε τον Nils Molin (βλ. Dynazty, Amaranthe κλπ), καθώς ο Erik Grönwall αποχώρησε φέτος από το συγκρότημα... <br />
<br />
<blockquote><b>Δελτίο τύπου:</b> «Jona Tee and Nils Molin is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of their album, "Conquerors," an epitome of power metal finesse, slated to hit the shelves on June 14th, 2024, via Frontiers Music. <br />
<br />
Fans can get a taste of the album's epic melodies with the lead single and video "Daimyo" out today. "Conquerors" presents itself as a thematic anthology, delving into pivotal moments in history and the remarkable individuals who have shaped them. The track "Daimyo" transports listeners to 16th century feudal Japan, narrating the saga of the renowned unifier Oda Nobunaga. <br />
<br />
Following a remarkable journey that saw vocalist Erik Grönwall joining Skid Row, New Horizon's founder Jona Tee embarked on a mission to find a singer who could embody the essence of the band's next chapter. His quest led him to longtime friend Nils Molin, renowned vocalist of Dynazty and Amaranthe. <br />
<br />
Upon encountering the band's fresh material, Molin was immediately drawn in, igniting a powerful collaboration. Reflecting on their partnership, Jona Tee shared: <br />
<br />
<b>"At our first sit down in the studio he said ‘If I'm going to do this, I need to be 100% involved’. Nils and I have been exploring the possibility of collaborating on a project for some time now. At first, I deemed it unlikely seeing as he’s got plenty on his plate already. However, I had to ask and was happily surprised that he considered it. And when we started bouncing ideas for lyrical themes the path forward appeared crystal clear. The die has been cast"</b>. <br />
<br />
"Conquerors" marks New Horizon's sophomore album, showcasing their resilience and unwavering commitment to musical excellence. Nils's commanding vocals seamlessly intertwine with Tee's intricate melodies, resulting in a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly innovative. <br />
<br />
Expressing his excitement for the project, Nils remarked: <br />
<br />
<b>"My initial reaction to getting a text from Jona, asking me to sing on the new album was: Damn, I don’t have the time. But upon hearing some of the early material he was working on and after our first couple of sessions tracking vocals, effortlessly collaborating and mapping out a plan for the album, I decided that this simply needs to be done. <br />
<br />
CONQUERORS became a tale that grew in the making and ultimately expanding into an album way beyond my expectations, brim-packed with stellar songwriting, performances and surprise elements. If you like melodic metal - you’re in for a treat."</b> <br />
<br />
With "Conquerors" poised for release, New Horizon is poised to ascend further in the power metal realm. Their dedication to musical craftsmanship and adaptability solidifies their position as a rising force in the genre. As they embark on this new chapter, New Horizon is prepared to conquer new frontiers and make an enduring impact on the music scene.»</blockquote></div>

A question well served <br />
Is silence like a fever, <br />
A voice never heard <br />
Or a message with no receiver? <br />
<br />
Pray they won't ask <br />
Behind the stained glass <br />
There's always one more mask <br />
<br />
Has man been a victim <br />
Of his woman, of his father? <br />
If he elects not to bother <br />
Will he suffocate their faith? <br />
<br />
Desperate to fall <br />
Behind the great wall <br />
That separates us all <br />
<br />
When there is reason tonight I'm awake <br />
When there's no answer arrive the silent man <br />
If there is balance tonight he's awake <br />
If they have to suffer there lies the silent man <br />
<br />
Sin without deceivers <br />
A god with no believers <br />
I could sail by on the winds of silence <br />
And maybe they won't notice <br />
But this time I think it'd be better if I swim <br />
<br />
When there is reason tonight I'm awake <br />
When there's no answer arrive the silent man <br />
If there is balance tonight he's awake <br />
If they have to suffer there lies the silent man <br />
There lies the silent man </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Λένε -ως ο τρίτος δίσκος είναι ο πλέον καθοριστικός ενός μουσικού συγκροτήματος, ως προς την εξέλιξή του. Με αυτό το δεδομένο οι Dream Theater είχαν να ανέβουν τα... Ιμαλάια καθώς το τρίτο τους full length album οφείλει να επιβεβαιώσει (και να δικαιώσει) τις προσδοκίες που δημιούργησαν το καταπληκτικό "When Dream and Day Unite" (αγαπημένο μου D.T. album) και το υπέροχο "Images and Words". <br />
<br />
Τα κατάφερε; Νομίζω πως, ναι. Είναι καλύτερο των προκατόχων του; Σε καμία περίπτωση, αλλά καταφέρνει να κοιτά τα δύο πρώτα albums στα μάτια χωρίς να χαμηλώνει το βλέμμα. Ο δίσκος "<b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/2024/03/dream-theater-awake-official-album.html" target="_blank">Awake</a></b>" κυκλοφόρησε το φθινόπωρο του 1994 και ήταν ο τελευταίος με τον Kevin Moore στα πλήκτρα, καθώς την ίδια χρονιά αποχώρησε (και αντικαταστάθηκε από τον Derek Sherinian). Ο δίσκος "έβγαλε" δύο singles, το "Lie" και το "The Silent Man"... <br />
<br />
<blockquote><b>Δελτίο τύπου:</b> «After a month-long break, Dream Theater started working on their third studio album in February 1994. The band's two-month writing sessions were located at Prince Studios, New York City. <br />
<br />
The lack of a leader within the band increased tensions in what were already tense sessions. Keyboardist Kevin Moore noted at the time that "<b>there are arguments that last forever because there's nobody to come in and draw the line</b>". <br />
<br />
"<b>When it came to the music, you had guitarist John Petrucci and I playing the roles we still kind of play, and Kevin was also a forceful element</b>", drummer Mike Portnoy said. <br />
<br />
"<b>In those days, bassist John Myung was a little bit more out of his shell, so the bass was a bit more predominant in the band. The fighting never came to blows, but there was a lot of bickering over every single element, like the fine details of what the third note on the sixty-fourth bar should be.</b>" <br />
<br />
The success of Dream Theater's previous album, Images and Words, particularly the single "Pull Me Under", put pressure on the band to produce a similarly successful follow-up album. <br />
<br />
"<b>Somebody once said that you have your whole life to prepare for your first album and have about two months to prepare the follow-up, and that was very much the situation we faced in early 1994</b>", Portnoy noted. <br />
<br />
The popularity of alternative metal and groove metal meant that the band's record label, East West, were keen for the band to create a heavier, darker album. <br />
<br />
Awake featured Petrucci's use of a seven-string guitar for the first time, establishing a more riff-based writing style. "<b>This style would further cement the fusion of metal and progressive music, which is what Dream Theater are known for</b>", Petrucci said. <br />
<br />
"<b>I think it paved the way for many of our strongest and heaviest later songs like 'A Change of Seasons', 'The Glass Prison' and 'The Dark Eternal Night'.</b>" <br />
<br />
Vocalist James LaBrie described his vocals on Awake as "<b>more varied and a lot more aggressive</b>" than on Images and Words to the extent that people may think the band had a new singer for the album.»</blockquote></div>

She's hungry, hungry for life <br />
Every bound and ban cuts like a knife <br />
She's willing to break down the walls <br />
When the night-time falls <br />
<br />
Blue moonlight, she's wide awake <br />
Every breath of the dark makes her shake <br />
In silence she's slipping away <br />
On a moonlight's ray <br />
<br />
Hot night, there's loving and spite <br />
In the lanes and in the alleys, <br />
Darkness and light <br />
Hot night, the good and bad's <br />
So close together <br />
<br />
The Beauty and the Beast, <br />
Saints and demons-kisses and bites <br />
The Beauty and the Beast <br />
In the dead of the night <br />
<br />
He's longing, longing to stray <br />
Leaving back all the yesterday's clay <br />
Right down where the streets have no names <br />
The winds were never tamed <br />
<br />
Together they're taking to flight <br />
Hand in hand through the maze of the night <br />
Don't follow the Will-o'-the-wisp <br />
In the shadow's mist <br />
Hot night, there's loving... <br />
<br />
The Beauty and the Beast... </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Κάπου στα μέσα της δεκαετίας του ενενήντα σχηματίσθηκαν στην Ιταλία οι Prometeo. Το 1996 μετονομάσθηκαν σε Shadows of Steel και συνεχίζουν μέχρι τις ημέρες μας με ένα μεγάλο διάλειμμα (εννέα ετών, από το 2002 μέχρι το 2011). Πυρήνας της μπάντα ο Wild Steel (δηλαδή ο Andrea De Stefanis). <br />
<br />
Πρόκειται για power metal συγκρότημα το οποίο έχει κυκλοφορήσει ένα demo, τρία full length albums και ισάριθμα EPs. Πλέον πρόσφατο δισκογράφημά τους το ep "Twilight II" (το πρώτο μέρος είχε "βγει" το 1988) που κυκλοφόρησε πρόπερσδι (Φεβρουάριος 2022) σε διπλό cd και σε ψηφιακή μορφή από την Underground Symphony. <br />
<br />
Το πρώτο cd περιλαμβάνει τέσσερα τραγούδια των Shadows of Steel ("<b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/2023/04/shadows-of-steel-call-of-shadows.html" target="_blank">Call of Shadows</a></b>", "<b>Broken Mirror</b>", "<b>Shine</b>", "<b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/2023/09/shadows-of-steel-power-of-dreams.html" target="_blank">Power of Dreams</a></b>") και το δεύτερο διασκευές σε τραγούδια των <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/ANGEL%20WITCH?&max-results=10" target="_blank">Angel Witch</a></b> ("<b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/2014/07/angel-witch-angel-witch-video.html" target="_blank">Angel Witch</a></b>"), <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/STORMWITCH?&max-results=10" target="_blank">Stormwitch</a></b> ("The Beauty and The Beast"), <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/HEAVY%20LOAD?&max-results=10" target="_blank">Heavy Load</a></b> ("Dark Nights") και <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/JAG%20PANZER?&max-results=10" target="_blank">Jag Panzer</a></b> ("<b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/2017/10/jag-panzer-shadow-thief-audio.html" target="_blank">Shadow Thief</a></b>")...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Νέο συγκρότημα οι Aardvark. Σχηματίσθηκαν προ τριετίας στην Μελβούρνη και μας συστήνονται ως «<span style="font-family: Lobster; font-size: medium;">four vagrants making hard ‘n heavy music</span>». Μας παρουσιάστηκαν πέρυσι με το ομώνυμο single και πλέον αναμένουν την κυκλοφορία του πρώτου "ολοκληρωμένου" τους δίσκου. <br />
<br />
Φέρει τον τίτλο "Tough Love" και κυκλοφορεί σήμερα (15 Μαρτίου 2024) σε cd, βινύλιο και ψηφιακή μορφή μέσω της μέσω της δισκογραφική εταιρείας Dying Victims Productions, η οποία μας λέει σχετικά: <br />
<br />
<blockquote>«like a thunderous storm, the new HEAVY METAL force Aardvark has taken over Melbourne's traditional metal scene. Time to head on!»</blockquote>
<br />
Την τετραμελή Αυστραλιανή μπάντα αποτελούν ο Ed Vaark (κιθάρα, φωνή), ο Danny Smith (μπάσο), ο Dylan Lieberman (τύμπανα) και η Sorcha Wilcox (κιθάρα).</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote><b>Δελτίο τύπου:</b> «Not to be confused with the cult ‘70s prog band, Australia’s Aardvark are a classic heavy metal quartet hailing from Melbourne. <br />
<br />
Born from a desire to bring the masses together with the biting forces of power and honesty, Aardvark aim to prove there is weight to sincerity and strength in vulnerability. <br />
<br />
The band's twin-guitar attack keeps fists pumping with tough-yet-melodic riffs, while their thunderous rhythm section drives the tank forward with unyielding brawn. <br />
<br />
Formed in 2021, Aardvark burst onto the Australian heavy metal scene seemingly out of nowhere with an increasingly packed weekly residency at the iconic Tote Hotel in August 2023, followed quickly by a sold-out launch show for their debut 7” single. <br />
<br />
The Aardvark hasn't slowed down since, with a blistering run of local shows and upcoming supports in 2024 for <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/CIRITH%20UNGOL?&max-results=10" target="_blank">Cirith Ungol</a></b> and <b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/search/label/RIOT%20CITY?&max-results=10" target="_blank">Riot City</a></b>. <br />
<br />
Now that tank is ready to plow down the gates with the debut album Tough Love. <br />
<br />
With its cover art encapsulating all their central themes, Tough Love proves the full potential of Aardvark and that they band is good on their word. <br />
<br />
With nine tracks clocking in at 44 minutes, Tough Love is a compendium of songs that present a tough, masculine vulnerability, a mixture of personal anthems and mythical journeys that offer a pertinent contrast of escapism and self-reflection. <br />
<br />
With a sound somewhere between NWOBHM and traditional heavy metal, Tough Love aims to impact with a mix of mid-tempo rockers, poignant ballads, and attacking speed. <br />
<br />
Reverential to the past but by no means blinkered by it, Aardvark inject their own personality and panache into 1983-vintage heavy metal: moody, melodic, dynamic, and dashing. <br />
<br />
If Conan the Barbarian could shed a tear, he’d do it listening to Tough Love!»</blockquote></div>

The sun is covered in bliss <br />
A day of peace for all the sinners <br />
<br />
My oaths, my past, my childish dreams, <br />
Are battlefields, with no winners <br />
<br />
I feel trapped in the mist <br />
eyes of a beast are my spectator <br />
<br />
I’m now burning the trees <br />
who made all this, who is the Creator <br />
<br />
It's the fear of being forgotten <br />
turn my heart into rotten <br />
<br />
Falling into the void of my scar <br />
cold as the light of a dying star <br />
<br />
It's the fear of being forgotten <br />
turn my smile into slaughter <br />
<br />
Haunted by a frightened ghost <br />
Cried out for the things I’ve lost <br />
<br />
The sun is covered in bliss <br />
A traitor’s kiss is all I’ve taken <br />
<br />
Among the ruins, i reminisced <br />
Forever missed and forsaken <br />
<br />
A demon inside of me waiting <br />
to lie, to ruin, to do his labor <br />
<br />
I’m now breeding the hell <br />
who can really tell, who is the Creator </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Οι Medusa's Wrath μας έρχονται από την Αθήνα. Μπάντα κλασικού heavy metal, η οποία δημιουργήθηκε το καλοκαίρι του 2019 (αν και η πρώιμη μορφή της, με άλλο όνομα, υπάρχει από το 2015). Το ντεμπούτο τους ήταν ep τραγουδιών υπό τον τίτλο "Lifeless Void". <br />
<br />
Προ μηνός (18 Φεβρουαρίου 2024) είδαν σε κυκλοφορία και τον πρώτο "ολοκληρωμένο" δίσκο τους υπό τον τίτλο "<b><a href="https://www.metaldaze.eu/2024/02/medusas-wrath-pavor-exitium-mors.html" target="_blank">Pavor Exitium Mors</a></b>". Τους Medusa's Wrath απαρτίζουν ο Πέτρος Καλύβας (κιθάρα), η Χριστίνα Παφτίνου (μπάσο), ο Δημήτρης Ντόζης (κιθάρα), ο Θεόδωρος Δημητριάδης (τύμπανα) και ο Γιώργος Χρυσανθίδης (φωνητικά).</div>

What? You say you're through with me <br />
I'm not through with you <br />
We've had what others might call love <br />
You say it's over now <br />
What's done, what's through? <br />
You can't stay away, you need me <br />
I need you <br />
<br />
When the fire starts the pain's too much <br />
For your mind <br />
You need attention, what's good is only mine <br />
I can cure the hunger that burns in your heart <br />
So just come to me <br />
I'll take you home <br />
<br />
We'll walk in the shadows <br />
By day we'll live in a dream, walk with me <br />
We'll walk in the shadows <br />
<br />
You say you don't feel safe alone tonight <br />
Cause you feel the pressure building in your head <br />
Our secret's safe for one more night <br />
But when the morning comes remember <br />
I'll be with you <br />
<br />
We'll walk in the shadows <br />
By day we'll live in a dream, walk with me <br />
We'll walk in the shadows <br />
<br />
One day you'll be with me <br />
If only you believe... <br />
<br />
We'll walk in the shadows <br />
By day we'll live in a dream, walk with me <br />
We'll walk in the shadows <br />
<br />
You gotta stay with me <br />
Walk with me <br />
Walk in the shadows <br />
Walk with me <br />
Walk in the shadows <br />
Walk with me <br />
Walk in the shadows <br />
Walk with me <br />
Walk in the shadows <br />
Walk with me <br />
Walk in the shadows <br />
Walk with me <br />
Walk with me</span> <br />

<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-squ2tEeoAJI/TqwCNL3KlFI/AAAAAAAALxw/p8QwHBNCz78/s1600/Queensryche-Rage_For_Order.jpg" style="margin-left: -1em; margin-right: -1em;"><img alt="Queensryche - Rage for Order (album)" border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-squ2tEeoAJI/TqwCNL3KlFI/AAAAAAAALxw/p8QwHBNCz78/s16000/Queensryche-Rage_For_Order.jpg" title="Το album των Queensryche "Rage for Order"" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Το τραγούδι των Queensrÿche "Walk In The Shadows" το πρωτάκουσα μέσω της συλλογής της ΕΜΙ "Metal Thunder" που κυκλοφόρησε το μακρινό 1987 (και... "πετσόκοβε" το τραγούδι των Manowar "Battle Hymn", ακόμη το θυμάμαι). Οι επιλογές των τραγουδιών και η επιμέλεια της συλλογής ανήκαν στον Γιάννη Κουτουβό. <br />
<br />
Το "Walk In The Shadows" αφενός θα μπορούσε κάλλιστα να αποτελεί μέρος του (εκπληκτικού) δίσκου "The Warning" (ως προς το μουσικό του ύφος) και αφετέρου αποτέλεσε την τέλεια μετάβαση από το μελαγχολικό - ατμοσφαιρικό - λυρικό έπος του "The Warning" στην πιο προοδευτική (prograssive) διάθεση του "Rage for Order". <br />
<br />
Το τραγούδι αποτελεί μέρος του δίσκου - σταθμού της Αμερικάνικης μπάντας "Rage for Order" που κυκλοφόρησε τον Ιούνιο του 1986 (για την ακρίβεια, το εναρκτήριο μουσικό κομμάτι). Ο Chris DeGarmo είχε πει το μακρινό 1991 στο περιοδικό RIP (στο τεύχος Οκτωβρίου): <br />
<br />
<blockquote>«That was our delving into vampirism: '<b>By day we'll live in a dream / Walk with me, and we'll walk in the shadows.</b>' It's talking about joining the dark side. This song is also about infatuation. <br />
<br />
It's speaking to a woman: '<b>You're through with me, I'm not through with you / We've had what others might call love / You can't stay away, you need me like I need you / When the fire starts, the pain's too much for your mind.</b>' <br />
<br />
We were all reading the Vampire Chronicles around that time. Our music has always had a sort of dark flavor to it. Even when we write a love song, it's usually obsessive in nature.»</blockquote></div>
