ALTER BRIDGE Announce Two Very Special Nights At The Royal Albert Hall!


Following their jaw-dropping set at Download Festival this weekend, US rock giants ALTER BRIDGE have announced their return to the UK for two very special headline shows on October 2nd and 3rd.

Appearing at the legendary Royal Albert Hall in London for the first time, the band will treat the audience to an array of songs never before played live as well as fan favourite hits, drawn from their acclaimed five album catalogue. In another first, the group will also be accompanied by the Parallax Orchestra – a 52-piece London-based symphony orchestra conducted by Simon Dobson – adding an impressive new dimension to their already captivating live show.

Tickets for the two nights go on general sale at 10am on Friday 16th June. Pre-sales begin 10am Wednesday 14th June via O2 and 10am Thursday 15th June via Live Nation and the Royal Albert Hall. To buy tickets from 10am on Friday, click HERE or call the Royal Albert Hall box office on 0207 589 8212.

ALTER BRIDGE will release a new live album and rarities collection, ‘Live At The O2 Arena + Rarities’, on September 8th via Napalm Records. One of the biggest moments of the band’s career to date was the monumental show at London’s O2 Arena on November 24th, 2016, which was captured in its entirety. The ‘Rarities’ disc adds another ten rare/never released before songs. This incredible selection will be available in multiple formats. In addition to a standard 3-CD audio version, fans can pick up one of the limited deluxe editions (including a 4-LP set and a CD/DVD Earbook) which also include an exclusive ALTER BRIDGE documentary featuring extensive interviews with the band, their crew, and family, giving an amazing glimpse behind the scenes at the O2 Arena show.

THE NEW ROSES UNVEIL FIRST DETAILS ABOUT NEW ALBUM!


Without any doubt, THE NEW ROSES are one of the most promising and successful hard rock acts the German heavy rock scene has to offer. After their latest rock juggernaut ‘Dead Man’s Voice‘ (2016, Napalm Records) the band played more than 250 shows all over Europe highlights included were their live performances at the UEFA Champions League Festival in Berlin, shows at the Hamburg and Swiss Harley Days and being special guests on tour with acts including ACCEPT, Tremonti, Y&T, Saxon and The Dead Daisies to name just a few.

Now these heavy rockers from Wiesbaden, Germany, return with their third hotly anticipated album titled ‘One More For The Road’ which will be released August 25th on Napalm Records! Delivering phenomenal hearty hymns, with ‘One More For The Road‘ THE NEW ROSES again share the feeling of stepping into endless freedom and the album surely marks the band’s catchiest, emotional and heaviest record to date. Definitively a must-have for every well-assorted record cabinet!

Says the band:
„ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD“ is 100% New Roses, straight in your face Rock’n’Roll, no compromises, based on the experiences of the countless shows we played over the last year, dedicated to our great live audience.
We can’t wait to play it live on our upcoming tour, because these songs were written for a hot stage, a loud crowd and a kick ass Rock’n’Roll Band!!”

DEAD LORD – Complete new album recordings: Announce title and release date + next shows!


Great news from Sweden’s infamous rockers DEAD LORD…

“We’ve been entrenched in Cuervo Recording Service’s studio in Madrid, Spain for the last week to put down what will become Dead Lord’s third album. And here’s a spoiler for you: It sounds dynamite! We once again teamed up with Ola Ersfjord to record and co-produce, whom we’ve worked with on every Dead Lord release to this day, and by now he’s a big part of how we want to sound. We’re cruising all over the spectrum with this album, having recorded some of our hardest songs, which will make you clench your fist and bang your head instantly, as well as some really sensitive tunes that will make your eyes water and reminisce about better days. We can’t wait to have this great piece of music out, and get on the roads with the new material!” –Adam Lindmark / DEAD LORD

What Mr. Lindmark forgot to mention: The title of the new album is “In Ignorance We Trust” and it is set to be released on August 25th, 2017 via Century Media Records. The photo above obviously shows DEAD LORD in Madrid with producer Ola Ersfjord (2nd from right).

MOTOROWL – release live video for “Beloved Whale”!


Psychedelic doom rockers, MOTOROWL, just released a video for an alternative version of their song “Beloved Whale” from their latest album “Om Generator”! This version was recorded live at Violet Flame Studio in Gera, Germany.

The band comments: “The ‘Beloved Whale’ session was a big deal for us. We wanted to capture the energy of playing together because this is the only thing that we actually can do. So we borrowed some real nice equipment from friends and went into the Violet Flame Studio for 2 days to record a special version of this song on tape. We only had a few takes, so we focused on ourselves and filmed every single take we did. Every version was slightly different and we chose the most natural one.

Nerds only: we used a Marshall JMP from 1977, Marshall JCM 800 replica, Fender Bassman Replica, Pearl Vorg 101, a 70s Orange cab, an old Gretsch drum set (26 inch bassdrum!), a Hammond Portable Organ with Leslie and a Roland RE301 Tape Echo for the e-piano. Recorded on a .Tascam tape recorder with a bunch of vintage Neumann microphones.”

MOTOROWL just recently announced they will be supporting DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER on their upcoming tour throughout Germany, Austria and Switzerland in October/November 2017!
