WHEN WORDS FAIL to release ‘Eyes On Everything’ EP 12th December

UK NEWCOMERS  WHEN WORDS FAIL RELEASE DEBUT EP AND GET SET TO PREPARE TO MAKE THEIR MARK!

Brit-Rock tunesmiths When Words Fail release a fiercely melodic debut in the form of their brand new ‘Eyes On Everything’ EP, out Monday 12th December 2011 through all digital outlets.

Hailing from Swindon, England, freshly formed quintet When Words Fail are now beginning to chalk up increasing national recognition. The lively post hardcore band have fashioned a hugely melodic and highly energetic sound comparable to such bands as A Day To Remember, Funeral For A Friend, and Deaf Havana. However, When Words Fail are fiercely distinct as they cleverly weave the diverse influences of each band member, into addictive choruses, upbeat guitar structures, and stompdown hardcore shout-outs, all marinated in an unswerving melody that sets them apart from the typical sing/scream bands of today.

December 12th sees When Worlds Fail officially release their debut 3-track EP ‘Eyes On Everything’, to be supported with UK shows planned for Spring 2012.

 

Right from the opening note the record delivers punchy riffage in ‘Eyes On Everything’ spiked with captivating vocal melodies and thoughtful dynamism. ‘Over Again’ further amps up the intensity of the record, while still threading the bands’ trademark rhythms and driving hooks. Lastly, the instantly appealing ‘There’s Something’ brings the EP to a fitting close with its up-tempo arrangements and memorably sing-along refrain.

–When Words Fail ‘Eyes On Everything’ EP from all digital outlets from Monday 12th December 2011–

Rob Mancini to release new album Rock’n'Roll Circus

The new album “Rock’n’Roll Circus” could best be described as a reflective but modern influenced crossover between the roots of late 80s and early 90s melodic rock. Think Bon Jovi with a Nickelback kick, infused with his own signature, a powerfully stomping rhythm guitar section, addictive keyboards and catchy melody lines sung by lead vocalist, guitarist and RockDoc Rob Mancini.

Tracklisting:
1. Carnival of Fools, 2. Rock’n’Roll Circus, 3. Edge of a broken heart, 4. Every time you cry, 5. Running up that hill, 6. Lay down the law, 7. Weak as I am, 8. Stranger in paradise, 9. Too late to die, 10. The Reaper, 11. United we stand, 12. Time stops for no one but you, 13.Edge of a broken heart (Radio Edit)

The album was recorded at Robs GMG Studio One in Ireland, featuring 13 tracks including a cover version of Kate Bush’s “Running up that hill” and was mastered byHarry Hess at Vespa Music Group Canada. Tour dates are in planning for 2012.

After almost a decade of recording abstinence, touring the Irish Club scene, Irelands German-Italian born rock musician and producer, Rob Mancini is back on track with the smash hit, “Edge of a broken heart” and the powerful ballad “Every time you Cry” from his new album “Rock’n’Roll Circus“.

Rob played extensively on the international rock circuit in the mid 90s with “Hotwire” & “Crush“, recording several albums and sharing the stage with artists such asVictory, Thunderhead, Dare, etc. before moving to Ireland in 2001 to work as studio and session musician.

Wasted Sinners RETURN WITH THEIR DEBUT MINI-ALBUM

LONDON ROCK CREW RETURN WITH THEIR DEBUT MINI-ALBUM & PLANS FOR MASS DOMINATION IN 2012!

 

High-Octane UK Rock ‘n’ Rollers ‘Wasted Sinners’ hurl out their eagerly awaited debut mini-album ‘Unleashed & Dangerous’ on Monday 12th December 2011, available through all good online outlets.

Dispatching a heady mix of infectious Rock ‘n’ Roll, influenced by the swagger of Motley Crew, the attitude of G’n’R and the contemporary cool of Buckcherry, Wasted Sinners are ready to unleash their own concoction of Rock ‘n’ Roll to the masses in 2012!

Bursting out of London town, Wasted Sinners are comprised of the vocal prowess of Roxx Hydi, Gary Dainty serving the guitar riffs, Dude Rock on bass, and Pete Sin hammering out the beats. The band were originally born in the later part of 2008 by long time friends Dude Rock and Pete Sin, who had regularly jammed together for a number of years as a sturdy rhythm section; the dynamic duo later recruited kindred sprits Roxx Hydi and Gary Dainty, and the four-piece instantly clicked, deciding to form ‘Wasted Sinners’.

Throughout 2009, the energetic quartet played a series of headline shows in London which garnered them a sturdy live reputation and an impressively dedicated fanbase. However, hard and trying times where just around the corner. The band suffered a cluster of personal setbacks ranging from bereavement, relationship breakdowns, and financial issues. Now after a brief hiatus, and fresh from their recent highly successful mini-UK tour, Wasted Sinners are back and stronger than ever. The rejuvenated foursome have further shows planned throughout 2012 and have just penned a string of new killer tunes. The band now also re-work their debut album ‘Unleashed & Dangerous’ this December, and it’s a real belter of a record. The mini-album bursts with feel good energy. Full of attitude and loaded to the nines with contagious hooks, it’s a great antidote for the winter blues.

CIRCLES unleash new video and single ‘EYE EMBEDDED’‏

Australian progressive Metallers CIRCLES have announced they are to release their first single ‘Eye Embedded’ taken from their debut EP ‘The Compass‘ on November 14th, which comes with a remix edition, 2 b-sides and an instrumental arrangement.

The band will be unleashing a brand new promo video alongside the single release.
The band have also put together exclusive footage that not only chronicles the making of the video for the track but gives fans a taster of the video to come. View behind the scenes here: http://youtu.be/HIL9GCmOkOA
Comments CIRCLES drummer and video director Dave Hunter: “Shooting our first official video was something we’ve always looked forward to doing. Once it was all over, we were completely drained. It’s like playing a show for 10 hours straight, except your set list only consists of one song. Overall it was a great experience. So far, the response to The Compass has been quite overwhelming. Hopefully we can push it further with this video.” 
Since their critically acclaimed debut EP was released in May this year via Basick Records, CIRCLES have been hard at work building their profile worldwide – their studio jam video for ‘Clouds are Gathering’ reached the No.1 spot on Scuzz TV, reached No.3 on the Australian Metal iTunes chart, swept the review boards worldwide with praise for ‘The Compass’ and all whilst continuing to play countless gigs in their native homeland and begin work on their follow up record!
 
Tracklisting for ‘Eye Embedded’ Single
1. Eye Embedded
2. Eye Embedded (Big-F remix)
3. Silence (Prelude demo)
4. Beautiful Fascination (Prelude demo)
5. The Design (Instrumental)

The single ‘Eye Embedded’ from CIRCLES will be released by Basick Records on November 14th, available online via iTunes and all good online digital retailers.
This might be the best new band you’ll hear all year. Truly epic. - Metal Hammer.
Beyond world class. - Blunt Magazine
Circles are here to make a point. - Rock Sound Magazine
Melodies so catchy they are probably illegal in some countries. -  Terrorizer Magazine

What some people have been saying about HYPNO5E…

MetalSucks.net - “These dudes fucking bring it live with a coordinated light show and video projections, and they sound perfect every night.”

LOUD Amplify Chicago - “They encompass all things good about where metal can and has been going over the last few years.  You think you know what metal sounds like.  My friend, you have no idea.”

Cleveland Free Times - “Between slabs of death-by-math insanity, Hypno5e flesh out dulcet melodies and even venture into spacey Hawkwind territory.”

Metal Underground – “Des Deux L’une Est L’autre” is unbelievably heavy and comes with fangs bared. Be prepared for a surrealistic venture through several genres of haunting ass-kickings, because this is an album meant to frighten, impress, and envelope the listener.”

The Metal Minute - “Hypno5e won’t just be a band to be respected; by attrition they’ll have to be feared.”

Rough Angel announce EP “Hear the Angels Rock”

US Heavy Metal weights Rough Angel have announced they are to release their recordings from 1993. Recorded at Paramount Recording Studios, Hollywood, CA and engineered by Csaba Zvekan himself, the recordings were originally intended for promoters and industry and now with this release available for the public.

The “lava” like music is lush and heavy with aggressive vocals hovering over the music. In the “grunge” era it is a true classic and can be compared with bands like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Led Zeppelin.

Csaba Zvekan who remastered these recordings had to say: “It’s unbelievable how these recordings are almost two decades old and still have the power to convince the listener. The music and lyrics are still current especially these days. I got goose bumps remastering this piece of music. It definitely is a gift for all the friends and fans that are out there.”

The players on the EP are Csaba Zvekan (Raven Lord, Killing Machine, Sardonyx, Emergency) – Vocals, Jimmy Z. - Lead & Rhythm Guitars, Marc Mougavero - Lead & Rhythm Guitars, Ross Manzo - Bass Guitars, Dave Kappos - Drums

The song tracks are as followed:

1. Standing by Mirrors
2. Defiance
3. Let it Burn
4. Hear the Angels Rock

Rough Angel EP “Hear The Angels Rock” – official teaser:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xP7tala9do

 

Rock’n Growl Management signed Csaba Zvekan in March 2011 to it’s roster. So it comes to no surprise that these “lost and found” recordings will be published in close collaboration. Rough Angel’s EP “Hear the Angels Rock” will be available under Rock’n Growl Records. The digital release date is set to November 30st 2011.

On the latest release label boss Axel Wiesenauer of Rock’n Growl Records said: “I’m really excited about expanding into label work. And so it always starts with a first release. Well, here it is Rough Angel “Hear the Angels Rock”! Enjoy these great tracks”.
