Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the signing of HEVIDENCE to a multi album deal.
HEVIDENCE is the brainchild of Italian guitar player Diego Reali. Diego's own story as a musician began in 1996 with his first band, DGM . Diego's songwriting and style contributed to six of that band's power prog metal masterpieces: 'Random Access Zone', 'Change Direction', 'Wings Of Time', 'DreamLand', 'Hidden Place', and 'Misplaced'. For ten plus years, Diego recorded and toured with DGM around the world. During this time he also collaborated with Claudio Simonetti, the former keyboard player and mastermind of Italian prog band Goblin, among others.
In 2006, Diego wanted to stretch his wings and try other musical styles, so he started to work on different projects, dabbling in many different kinds of music (blues, indie, country, pop, and rock). He spent a few months playing with his brother's indie band, Happy Never After, playing several gigs around Italy; however, it is always difficult to forget where we come from and that is why after almost four years of musical experimentation and journeys, Diego decided to go back to his original musical influence and first love: classic heavy metal. He started writing many tunes akin to early DGM, but this time with a more conscious idea of his own style and with a musical background richer than ever. In 2010, he called his brother Stef Reali (Hijack Party) to play drums and Andrea Arcangeli (DGM, NOVERIA, SOLISIA) to play bass and started a new band called Evidence, with whom he released 'There's Only Ten Left' in 2011.
Now, after some lineup changes (enter Corrado Quoiani on vocals and Emiliano Bonini on drums), a new label, an even more mature and personal vision, the band slightly altered the name from Evidence to "Hevidence" and are now ready to take on the world with a style reminiscent of the classic early Yngwie Malmsteen albums, mixed with power metal and melodic hard rock influences (think Europe at the height of their popularity). The new album, 'Nobody's Fault' is a kick ass release from start to finish ' a must for all fans of virtuoso and melodic metal!
Hevidence mastermind and guitar player Diego Reali says: "Everyone in the band is highly excited about this multi-album deal with Frontiers Music. I feel lucky and proud to be part of this big family and share their efforts together with other big names of the scene which I have followed since I was a child. The new album is the result of an awesome collaboration between me, my trusted friend Andrea and the new line-up and it's going to be a powerful mix of classic heavy metal and pure hard rock with a very raw sound and a vintage flavor, the new songs will perfectly suit the Frontiers releases within the same genre and will push the boundaries of the rock 'n' roll sound. Get ready to ROCK!!!"
HEVIDENCE debut album for Frontiers will see the light of day before the end of the 2016!
Half Way To Hell (Deluxe Edition)
Lions Pride Music
16 September 2016
Formed in Birmingham , Alabama in 2001 after the breakup of Jacob Buntons major label band Mars Electric, Lynam is often aligned with the retro metal movement of the mid-2000 generation. Led by frontman and principal songwriter Jacob Bunton, the band is heavily influenced by Def Leppard and has drawn comparisons to Wolfmother.
From 2002-2004, the band self-released three albums, 'White Trash Superstar'; 'Bling! Bling!' and 'Life In Reverse'. Their fourth, 2006's Slave To The Machine, was released after the band signed to DRT Records/Universal Records. This album peaked at No. 21 on Billoard's Top Independent Albums chart and No. 19 on its Top Heatseekers chart. The album's first single, 'Tanis' achieved the No. 1 spot on both the active rock independentchart and the mainstream rock independent chart. Their fifth album, Tragic City Symphony, was released on August 26, 2008 by New Ocean Media.This album features the song 'Save My Soul,' which peaked at No. 5 on the active rock independent chart. On October 5, 2010, would release their first ever live CD, 'Thank You Good Night'.
The band have since then released two EP's 'Halfway To Hell' and 'Bombshell'. The band have open up for various bands such as Hinder, Slaughter, Saliva, Fuel, Puddle Of Mudd.
Jacob Bunton has also been the lead vocalist in Steve Adler's band Adler and sung on Gus G's latest album.
The band is set to debuting their first release inside Europe, thru Lions Pride Music, with the release of 'Halfway To Hell (Deluxe Version)' which contains the aformentioned EP, the band's hit singles and some highlights from the previous albums.
New Mourning is a 14-track song cycle navigating the beauty in darkness, loss and regret. From the torrid power pop muscle of “Dynamite and Kerosene,” “Burn & Crash,” and “Bad News” to the fragile intimate ballads “1000 Guitars” and “Haunts Me,” the album is a consummate sonic journey that leaves its share of musical blood on the tracks.
“My co-producer Fernando Perdomo has described the record as ‘the feel-bad album of the year, but in a good way,’” said Sharp, “and that’s an apt description. The darkness and emotional turmoil I‘ve gone through in the last few years are laid bare on the record.”
Produced by Sharp and Fernando Perdomo—whose credits include work by Todd Rundgren and Jakob Dylan—the record showcases musical contributions from Rick Springfield (“Burn & Crash,” “Satellite”), guitarist Wally Stocker of the Babys (“Dynamite and Kerosene,” “Loser”) bassist Prescott Niles of the Knack (“Mr. Know It All,” “Dynamite and Kerosene”) and keyboardist Jimmy Waldo of New England (“Satellite”) alongside the team of Perdomo and gifted musicians Rob Bonfiglio (Wanderlust/Wilson Phillips) and Ritchie Rubini (the Caulfields).
New Mourning is Sharp’s fourth album and his first in nine years. His last CD, Sonic Crayons, received raves in USA Today and garnered a four-star review in MOJO magazine, with writer Mat Snow championing Sharp as a shining light in the world of power pop.

“With his new CD, Ken continues to explore the essence of power pop, this time with a harder edge, and some fine guitar and vocal work from Rick Springfield. He's also found a new depth and confidence in his lyric writing, his voice and his production on this new recording. It's his best work yet!" —Eric Carmen
"New Mourning is a tour-de-force delivering perfectly blended driving guitar riffs with beautiful pop melodies. Highly recommended." —Pat Prince/Goldmine magazine
About Ken Sharp: "Ken Sharp is a New York Times best-selling writer who has authored or co-authored more than 18 music books, contributes to a variety of national music magazines, works on music documentaries and has done liner notes for releases by Elvis Presley, Sly and the Family Stone, Janis Joplin, Small Faces, Santana, Cheap Trick and others."
AOR Heaven is proud to announce the release of Swedish, upcoming Hard Rock band BULLETRAIN’s second album which is entitled “What You Fear The Most”. The album will be available from September 23.
Crafted through restlessness and wishes for something bigger, the great escape from everyday life began almost exactly ten years ago. The band expanded its fan base by playing along with bands such as Crashdïet, Bullet and Crazy Lixx, as a part of the new wave of Swedish Sleaze. Bulletrain stuck out as a heavier band than its competitors, with influences like Black Sabbath, Skid Row and Pantera.
After various line-up changes and the release of two EP’s and one digital single, AOR Heaven’s CEO Georg Siegl signed the Swedes for his label - the album “Start Talking” finally was released in 2014. Their music got great reviews all around Europe and the band played in Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Netherlands and Belgium together with bands like Epica, Warrior Soul, Hardcore Superstar and mega drummer Mike Terrana getting an overwhelming and great response as a live act.
With their hearts in the songwriting the band felt during the summer of 2015 it was time to start working on their second album and strike while the iron was hot. In November 2015 Bulletrain flew to Riga in Latvia and started recording the music for the ten songs on the album in the great “Sound Division Studios”. Ten days of hard work, high hopes and hangovers was spent in Riga. Then the band flew back to Stockholm, Sweden and headed to RamPacs studio “Ramtitam”(CrashDïet, Mick Mars, Swingfly) to record the vocals. And another intense process that lasted for another ten days was on the roll.
The fall of 2016 is soon here and Bulletrain is ready to bring you a surprise in the dark and show you “What you fear the most”. A ten track CD filled with heavy guitars, high pitched vocals and badass sing-a-long choruses. The album is mixed by the Grammy Award winning producer Tobias Lindell, the mind behind the music from bands like Hardcore Superstar, Europe and H.e.a.t to name a few. A collaboration that took Bulletrain’s music to another level and also introduced the band to the world famous mastering engineer Vlado Meller (SlipKnot, Metallica, Michael Jackson, Pink Floyd).

There have been some warm responses to recent unveiling of MelodicRock Records releases JADED PAST & ROADKILL.
Two very different releases of course! But there hasn’t been much action on the pre-order front.
Now, this I can understand. There are without doubt, an amazing number of titles released this year and money can only go so far.
I’d like to offer an incentive to those interested in these two artists. Normally when it comes to assigning priority for spending, the biggest and best known releases get poll position.
So here at MRR, we would like to make it easier to take a chance on two hard working independent artists that have both delivered quality albums that deserve to be heard.
So if you order both albums together, MRR will offer them at the special price of just $10ea and $5 shipping, so a total commitment of just $25 for two really well made albums!
Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the release of SECRET SPHERE first live album entitled 'One Night In Tokyo' on October 14th!
Secret Sphere are without a doubt one of the most well known Metal bands in Japan, with a solid fan base there since their inception in 1997. All their albums have been released in Japan and in fact, it is the only country where you can find Secret Sphere's very rare, original debut demo tape, officially released as a special edition item there! That says a lot about the respect and affection that the fans in the Land of the Rising Sun have for Aldo LoNobile's band!
During the band's last Japanese tour, in support of the Special Anniversary Edition of the band's signature album 'A Time Never Come', Secret Sphere had the chance to record their show in Tokyo in its entirety, which included all the band's major hits: 'Legend', 'Under The Flag Of Mary Read,' plus the melodic metal gems taken from the latest album 'Portrait Of A Dying Heart". Featuring vocalist extraordinaire Michele Luppi (now also keyboard player with Whitesnake), the show was one for the ages.
The result is a genuine performance in a very warm atmosphere, a night to remember, where the band played all their classic songs with true passion. The same passion that you can expect from the band's next release, currently in the writing stages.
Aldo Lonobile says: 'Since I started the band, the idea of recording our first live album in Japan, was the ultimate goal! All my musical heroes described their experiences in Japan with a happiness and a warmth that you could almost feel. That was the truth, among the most loyal fans in the world, and I am 100% happy that Frontiers liked the idea to release our first live album!'
To enhance the celebration, the band agreed to the label's suggestion to release a brand new version of 'Lie To Me,' featuring an outstanding duet between Michele Luppi and former Nightwish singer Anette Olzon. Released originally on 'Portrait of a Dying Heart', the video reached almost 1M views and this new version shows a depth and a reach that makes it even better compared to the original!
One Night in Tokyo tracklisting includes: CD1 - Intro: A Journey Through Time; X.; Healing; Union; The Fall; Lie To Me; Wish And Steadiness; Legend; Under The Flag Of Mary Read; The Scars That You Can't See; Eternity.
CD2 - Mr. Sin; Leonardo Da Vinci; Lady Of Silence; Dance With The Devil; Lie To Me (Studio Bonus track - Duet with Anette Olzon).

It is also the title of their first single! 'I'm gonna hit the highway and never look back' is the line that launches AIRBOURNE's latest, tarmac-trashin' single, ''Breakin' Outta Hell'', andthe lyric video to accompany the song (created by Richard Oakes from Dark Fable Media) may have implications for those with easy access to open roads. Watch the clip from start to finish, and you might just get the urge to open the throttle'
Raise the Flag for Rock 'n' Roll and check out the video here.
'We get a lot of feedback from our fans saying how much they love the faster tracks,' says AIRBOURNE front-man Joel O' Keeffe, 'but when they play them in the car' well, it can be tough on their pocket with all the speeding fines! 'Breakin' Outta Hell' is definitely one of THOSE numbers' even the guys who filmed the lyric video were stopped by the police and given a fine. For us, these visuals really sum up the feeling behind the song, and the album, too ' the whole message is right there. Put on the single, or the album, and it's fuck the boss and fuck all the tax I owe. I'm going out, I'm getting pissed and I'm going to listen to some hard rock 'n' roll. No ballads, no bullshit. I'm breaking out of hell!'

In celebration of the band’s 25th Anniversary, Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the release of TYKETTO brand new album “Reach” on October 14th.
After five years of relentless touring that included playing on some of the most prestigious stages on the planet, Tyketto (The Official) took their revitalized energy in to the studio in the spring of 2016. The sessions took place at the legendaryRockfield Studios in Wales (Queen, RUSH, Oasis). Musically the band is truly at the top of their game, with their muscular brand of melodic rock delivered with the finest arrangements and awesome performances.
Lead vocalist Danny Vaughn comments, “Although we only had planned on recording ten songs for REACH, we were so pleased with everything, we decided to keep all twelve songs on the record. We unanimously decided on REACH as the title of the album, as it defines who this band is in 2016. We have a new energy, some incredible new members, and a fresh outlook toward the future. All of us have pushed each other beyond our limits to make what we feel is a pinnacle record in our catalog.”
Drummer and founding member Michael Clayton Arbeeny adds, “Many bands who have been out as long as we have feel they need to fit into a preconceived notion of what their fans expect to hear. Following in the footsteps of icons such as Queen, Led Zeppelin, and Prince, we have decided to expand our musical boundaries and introduce our friends around the world to Tyketto 2016. Rest assured that all the songs on REACH still carry the trademark melodies and choruses our fans have grown to love over the decades. The band is feeling stronger and performing better than ever and we can’t wait to share this music with the world.”

Exactly one year out from their critically and fan acclaimed second album Heaven & Heartbreak, Australian melodic hard rockers THE RADIO SUN return with their new album Outside Looking In.
MelodicRock Records is once again thrilled to work with THE RADIO SUN for the release of their brilliant third album on September 30.
The boys continue where they left off, with vocal harmonies, soaring guitar solos and catchy choruses once again dominating.
Ex-Danger Danger vocalist Paul Laine lends a hand with production duties and also features on the song Wink and Smile with a dual lead vocal alongside lead vocalist Jason Old.
Guitarist Stevie Janevski was also buzzed to have Brett Garsed of John Farnham and Nelson fame play a guest solo on the track Falling For you.
The first single 'Switch Off The World Tonight' reminds us of classic Damn Yankees with its catchy intro and feel-good chorus. And here it is right now, making its worldwide debut!
Outside Looking In showcases a progression from the band's debut album Wrong Things Right and the critically acclaimed Heaven Or Heartbreak. There's a good balance of uptempo songs with some superb ballads that sees the band throwback to bands like Firehouse and Trixter along with a good dose of Jani Laine/Warrant school of song writing.
The band is rounded out with the thunderous rhythm section of Robbie Erdmanis on bass and Ben Wignall on drums...guys that are no slouches in the vocal dept. either, filling the album with those now trademark harmonies!
The Radio Sun will be launching the new album worldwide with upcoming dates scheduled in Australia, USA, UK and Japan.
Things are definitely looking up for the boys from down under!
Outside Looking In will be released worldwide by MelodicRock Records/Cargo Distribution September 30.
A limited Special Edition CD version will be available direct from MRR/MelodicRock.com featuring two exclusive bonus tracks.
AnderSteinMusic will release the album in Japan on the same day with two different exclusive bonus tracks.
For the dedicated fan, there will be one further option – an Outside looking In Fanpack, which will consist of the MRR Limited Special Edition CD plus an Outside Looking In Tshirt. This will be limited to 100 units only and available for pre-order this coming Monday.
Frontiers Music Srl proudly announces the release date of KEE MARCELLO's new studio album 'Scaling Up' on October 14th.
With 'Scaling Up', Kee Marcello is using his past as a springboard to take a giant leap into the future! With the new music firmly grounded in the songwriting tradition that made him a multi-platinum rock star in the first place, Kee explores the boundaries of melodic hard rock with a contemporary performance that nods to his past and employs sizzling production. This is an album all his fans will have to pick their jaws up off the floor after hearing!
Kee Marcello is a unique artist in the hard rock genre. He has never stopped evolving and growing as both a writer and a guitarist and the new album illustrates how much he has managed to raise the bar yet again with both his guitar playing, singing and writing.
Conceived and recorded in the winter and spring of 2016, "Scaling Up" encompasses all the influences and genres in which the Swedish musician has been involved in since the start of his career. Besides the obvious resemblances to Europe's classic sound, Kee also gives a nod to his past in Easy Action. Speaking of Europe (particularly the 'Prisoners in Paradise' era), Kee took two officially unreleased songs, 'Wild Child' and 'Don't Know How To Love No More', and re-arranged and re-recorded them from scratch. Beyond those two tracks, you can hear a touch of sleaze and more classic hard rock on songs like 'Fix Me', 'Blow by Blow', and 'Soldier Down'.
Kee Marcello says: 'The whole idea of 'Scaling Up' is to, very respectfully, use the music of my past as a canvas to paint a picture of where I stand today and what I aim for in the future as a guitarist/singer/writer. I think we've got the balance of now and then just right, and it's performed by the best group of musicians I've ever had the honor of playing with!"
Kee Marcello is one of the most renowned guitarists from Scandinavia and has an amazing history to his name. He's best known as the guitarist - from 1986 to 1992 - of one Sweden's biggest musical exports, Europe. In the late '80s and early '90s, Europe were one of the biggest rock bands in the world. They sold over 30 million albums, landed at #1 on sales charts in 26 countries and shared the biggest stages with acts like Metallica, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi. Kee is now also enjoying a new wave of success as a TV persona in Sweden, as well as being involved in other musical projects.

In the past year, theatrical rocker Madame Mayhem has won over the North American metal press. Case in point, her most recent album, ‘Now You Know,’ being included on Loudwire's top 10 video picks, and having received rave reviews from BraveWords, Loudwire, New Noise Magazine, Revolver Magazine, and more.
Soon, the UK and Europe are about to experience the unforgettable music of Madame Mayhem - as ‘Now You Know’ will be released on Friday, August 26th via Metalville.
And as it turns out, the European rock press is already feeling Madame Mayhem’s presence, as a marketing onslaught is already underway, with ads placed in such publications as Metal Hammer Magazine Germany, Rock It Magazine Germany, Sweden Rock Magazine, Aardschok Magazine, and This Is Rock Magazine Spain.
‘Now You Know’ features a powerhouse team of rock talent including Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, Winery Dogs), who produced and played on the album, Ray Luzier (KoRn, KXM), Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (ex-Guns N’ Roses), Russ Parrish (“Satchel” from Steel Panther), and Corey Lowery (Saint Asonia). Thus far, the album has been supported with live dates alongside such respected/renowned artists as Doro and Mushroomhead. To experience what the buzz is all about, check out the official video clip for the song "Monster" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyIiJW5YJnE
“I am excited to find out the reaction of my music in Europe,” explains the singer. “I know my sound and style will be a perfect fit overseas! I have always been a fan of international locations - as well as European rock and metal - and I am confident that the international market will become entranced by my music the same way North America has.”
The Manhattan-born Madame Mayhem has collaborated with notable rock talents including Grammy winner Mark Hudson, Earl Slick (David Bowie, John Lennon), Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot, Whitesnake, Dio), Elliot Easton (The Cars, Blondie), John Moyer (Disturbed), and more. Madame Mayhem’s endorsements include Samson, ACS Custom, Ultimate Support, Wornstar, and TC-Helicon, with more to come.
Brace yourself Europe, you are in for the unmistakable metallic assault of Madame Mayhem!
