Friday, November 6, 2009Apologies for the lack of updates this week. I am in fact, editing this update from hospital via iPhone. I hurt my back mid-week and have been completely immobile and am under care here for a narrowing of the spine and 2 discs rubbing against the spine. I'm hoping it will be business as semi-usual from Monday, but still not sure when I can escape this place. ASAP at any rate! If there is any breaking news in my inbox, I'll send info out via Twitter.com/MelodicRock. Thanks.... Andrew.
Culled from Anthem Entertainment and Zoë Vision's three other Rush releases to their roster! After 5 consecutive instrumental shred albums, Pastor Brad is back with a full-length vocal album! And while the old-school guitar shred influences are still here, this album will hit you square in the face with some of the heaviest sounding riffs ever recorded on any Pastor Brad album!
- 1990, the Chicago Rock Scene was drunk on Metal and fast becoming a major breeding ground for new bands on the rise. Sgt. Roxx had arrived and everyone took notice including every major label! There was a little hint of every major influence of the time from the full-bodied meshing of guitars of Lillian Axe, the dangerous and dirty edge of Ratt, to the dripping sleaze of Motley Crue. Their sound took from everything and imitated no one, becoming something entirely unique, delivering something special and different to everyone that listened, and many did and still do. "Weapon of Miss Distraction" features19 of the rarest recordings by one of the most coveted "Hair Metal" bands in the world. This release includes re-mastered versions of 1990's "Push N Squeeze," which fetches as much as $400 an auction on eBay, as well as 14 other never before heard archived recordings; including the rare demo sessions for CBS Records and live recordings from the infamous Gateway Theater. - In 1991, living in the heart of "The Grunge Capital," Seattle, WA, DR. GRIND landed its first show in Ballard, WA at the infamous "Ballard Firehouse." This show led to an utter explosion of new found popularity, an abundance of shows, and a grueling tour schedule throughout the West Coast and the United States. Their debut, "Speechless" was recorded at Full-Voice Audio in Seattle, with late, legendary producer Maverick Gibson and mixed by Lou Michael's at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, California. (MP3) 6.

"He´ s only 21 so he was a try out for some time. He´ s done great, both on tour and in rehearsals, so we asked him to come aboard full time and I think he will suit the band perfectly. I understand he´ s be a fan and own all the albums so he knows very well what we´ re about. Now he can leave the audience and step up on stage, where he belongs! Musically he´ s got a great tone and a wide register and visually the look of a true viking! Looking forward to writing, recording and touring the upcoming album with Andreas - we welcome a great musician and overall nice guy to M.ill.ion!""I have known their singer Ulrich Carlsson and been a fan of the cool M.ill.ion music for a couple of years. And when I got the call some months back about the guitarist position, asking me if I wanted to try out, I immediately said Yes! The jokes are flying, we share the same kind of humour and playing with them is a lot of fun! I feel happy and honoured to be chosen as the new guitarplayer for this brilliant melodic rockband!"
