"....Powderkeg is an explosive little album...and Jac Dalton's best to date!"
Ross Muir, FabricationsHQ

"...it combines the classic and the modern into a pulsating, lively musical entitiy...is certainly the best release from Jac Dalton so far as well as being one of the best representatives of its genre in 2015"
Alexandra Mrozowska, Powerplay Magazine

'Jac Dalton is a fierce, no quarter crusade of balls to the wall, no holds barred classic rock experience that engages the listener with a sonic safari of badass attitude mixed with a decidedly modern shape and colour!'
John Hampton, Ardent Studios

Jac Dalton was born and raised in North Carolina before calling Adelaide home. He has raised the bar considerably for contemporary Oz rock, following in the steps of other local native sons who have carved major notches in the genre over the decades. With the collaboration's 'all killer, no filler' repertoire - all wrapped around uplifting sentiments - assures an unforgettable performance that resonates not only across global borders, but generations.

Comprising some of the absolute best of Aussie talent, from soaring vocals, intricate harmonies and inspiring screaming guitars to positive uplifting messages, the Jac Dalton band distils an edgy blend of classic melodic rock that pays homage to the Great South Land while forging an unmistakable international identity.

Having broken new ground with his first release, the country/rock crossover CD, 'From Both Sides'and received huge critical acclaim for the rock monster 'Icarus' (with the video 'For Your Love' from this album receiving over 278,000 views!), Jac looks now to set the bar even higher with this fantastic 3^rd album, 'Powderkeg' and the stunning video for this track!

POWDERKEG was recorded in Soundfield Studios, Perth,WA and Adelaide Recording Studios, Adelaide SA, produced and mixed by Darren Mullan and matered by Neville Clark in Disk Edits, Adelaide SA

Rock Royalty Join Forces For A Benefit Concert For TONY MACALPINE

Artist:

Tony MacAlpine

Release Year:

2015

News Feed

New York, NY (November 6, 2015)' Guitar legends Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde and John 5, along with drum powerhouse Mike Portnoy, bass icon Billy Sheehan and keyboard phenomenon Derek Sherinian are joining forces to play a benefit concert for guitar and keyboard virtuoso Tony MacAlpine, who was recently diagnosed with colon cancer.

The Benefit for Tony MacAlpine will take place at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles on December 12, 2015, at 7:00pm, featuring performances from John 5 & The Creatures, Zakk Wylde with Mike Portnoy, Billy Sheehan and Derek Sherinian; Steve Vai and band, and culminating in an all-star jam with house band Portnoy, Sheehan, Sherinian, and featuring special guests. Eddie Trunk will serve as master of ceremonies for the night.

In addition to this extraordinary musical event, Steve Vai, John 5, Paul Gilbert, Joe Bonamassa, Steve Lukather, Steve Stevens, and Joe Satriani have all graciously donated personal guitars to be auctioned during the event. In addition, Rudy Sarzo has offered private lessons as an auction item, and Simon Phillips has donated a signature snare. Tony's gear manufacturers Ibanez, Hughes & Kettner, EMG, Ernie Ball, Source Audio and Voodoo Lab have also generously donated equipment to be raffled.

Tony's cancer diagnosis comes on the heels of his wife's diagnosis with breast cancer in June, making the situation even more trying for Tony and his family.

'Tony is a dear friend, an absolutely sweet human being and one of the most talented musicians I've ever worked with,' says Mike Portnoy, 'We are coming together to help raise money and awareness to help him fight his battle and come out on top!' Adds Steve Vai, 'It's a great privilege to take to the stage with my friends Zakk, John, Mike and Billy in support of our dear friend Tony. Tony has always been blessed with an exceptional talent and more so, he's an exceptionally cool guy. It's a great cause and will be a magical evening of guitar extravaganza.'

'Tony has been such an inspiration to me,' says John 5 'He is an incredible musician and an unbelievable talent. Please let's all come together and beat this!'

"Tony is our brother. We look forward to making a historical night, and raising a lot of money to help our friend in need.' said Derek Sherinian.

Tony MacAlpine is widely known as a guitar virtuoso who is just as skilled on the keys. Edge of Insanity, his classic debut album, was recently ranked by Guitar World magazine as one of the Top Ten Shred Guitar Albums of all time. Aside from his solo work, Tony has also been part of several rock supergroups including Planet X with Derek Sherinian and Virgil Donati; PSMS (Portnoy/Sheehan/MacAlpine/Sherinian); as well as the Grammy nominated CAB with bassist Bunny Brunel and drummer Dennis Chambers. MacAlpine also spent seven years playing guitar and keys in Steve Vai's touring band The Breed.

Tony's most recent album Concrete Gardens was released in May. Tony toured the US in June to promote the album, but was forced to cancel tours of Asia, Australia and Europe when his health deteriorated.

Tickets are on sale Saturday November 7 at 10am PT through LiveNation.com, with all proceeds going to help Tony and his family. A GoFundMe campaign will be set up for fans who can't make the show, but still want to contribute.

Doors will be at 7 pm with the show set to begin at 8 pm. For tickets, visit www.livenation.com

AXEL RUDI PELL Prepares His 'Game Of Sins' For January

Artist:

Axel Rudi Pell

Release Year:

2015

Friday, January 15, 2016

Categories:

News Feed

- New Album "Game Of Sins" out January 15th 2016 (USA January 22nd 2016) -

It was to be the highlight of his career. And it is. When Axel Rudi Pell celebrated his first 25 years as a solo artist with a 3-hour-plus show in Balingen/Germany on 11 July 2014, he not only awed the 15,000 fans in front of the stage. Released on 24 April 2015, the live recording of this once-in-a-lifetime concert entitled “Magic Moments” went straight to # 1 in the German and Swedish DVD charts, # 4 in Switzerland, # 7 in Austria, and # 17 in the Netherlands. Anybody expecting Axel to rest on his laurels after that spectacular feat doesn’t know the man and his work ethic.

Already collecting ideas in the summer of 2014, he ensconced himself in the studio again in fall 2015. “Everything went according to plan,” he smiles. So nothing went wrong? Nothing new on the ARP front? Again, the objective observer doesn‘t know Axel. Anyone assuming that he would invite his numerous festival guests on his next studio album for another anniversary celebration knows nothing about the man. ARP can do it on his own. And he wants to do it on his own. “I never even thought of having guest musicians on this album,” he explains. And why should he? Since Bobby Rondinelli (ex-Rainbow/Black Sabbath/Blue Öyster Cult) joined the ARP fold in 2013, the band sounds tighter than ever because Bobby fits like a glove“. Pell pooints out that Rondinelli is the perfect drummer who always knows exactly what to play; on “Game Of Sins” even more so than on the predecessor album “Into The Storm” (released in 2014, # 5 in Germany). So it comes as no surprise that Axel’s 16th studio recording featuring original material is a definite winner. “Everybody involved agrees,” he grins. “There’s not a single filler on the album.” Which apparently was not the case on some of his previous offerings, as he admits with a smirk. “Game Of Sins” is way harder, grittier, the songwriting even more accomplished, experience meeting excellence again.

Especially sound-wise, ARP appears to have made a quantum leap: “Looking back, I have to admit that the drums on the last album stayed too much in the background,” a fact which has changed for the better: they sound much fuller and much more aggressive this time around and have been adapted to suit the new songs. Having said that, this album is a must-have not only for air drummers riff fetishists and solo aficionados will also love ARP’s new material. And it’s no secret that vocalist Johnny Gioeli counts among the best of his profession. All in all, “Game Of Sins” presents a band at the peak of its powers. Although the sleeve and the intro “Lenta Fortuna” (Latin for bad luck) may suggest that this is a concept album about gambling it is not. “Game Of Sins” is ARP at his best: the sirens in the metallic opener “Fire” are a perfect wake-up call, “Sons In The Night” with its “Sons Of Anarchy”-inspired lyrics pays tribute to the NWOBHM. The title track is the longest number on the album, nine minutes of those epic structures and Arabian scales which Pell is so fond of. “Falling Star” once again refers to the early 80s.

Is there an ARP album without a ballad? They may well be one day, but as long as Axel writes beautiful specimen such as “Lost In Love”, there’s bound to be one. Among the recording’s highlights features “The King Of Fools” with its his five minutes of pure emotion, a perfect symbiosis between steeliness and melody, with an unbelievable performance by Gioeli, but don’t forget to listen to Axel’s guitars on the verses! “Till The World Says Goodbye” again presents Pell in his element: an epic, almost dark and doomy ballad, a moving soundtrack for the Judgment Day. “Breaking The Rules” is another melodic rock song, before the regular album finishes with a slow number called “Forever Free”. But the crowning glory is included in the Digipak format: ARP is the first musician to successfully deliver a real hard-rocking version of the almighty Bob Dylan/Jimi Hendrix classic “All Along The Watchtower”; which has been his heart’s desire for a long time, as Axel explains. “That song is far from easy to arrange, but the result is definitely worth the effort.” Or, to be more precise: “Everything went according to plan.” What more can you ask? “Game Of Sins” is doubtlessly another highlight in ARP’s career. And there are many more to come.

Frontiers Music Srl is excited to present to the world the talents of another newcomer from the cold lands of Finland - introducing KING COMPANY!

Formerly known as No Man`s Land, KING COMPANY features some well known names and faces of the finnish Hard Rock and Metal scene, including Pasi Rantanen (Thunderstone) on vocals, Antti Wirman (Warmen) on guitars, Jari Pailamo on keyboards, Time Schleifer on bass and Mirka Rantanen (Kotipelto, Thunderstone) on drums.

But it's not about the names here, but more about the music really. Excited with the first bunch of songs that were presented to the label, Frontiers' President Serafino Perugino pretty much signed them after first listen! Judge yourself after hearing the grandiose Melodic Hard Rock sound of these two demo tracks:
"No Man`s Land": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aexw8UH_qBo
"Shining": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yziwY6wRDM

The band says: "From the beginning our dream was to get a deal from Frontiers, because not only there are so many legendary rock bands in the same label, but most importantly they are really focused on our style of classic and melodic hard rock music, says drummer Mirka Rantanen. We feel that at Frontiers they really know how to push this kind of music for the people, they really like every band they have signed, and do this with a big heart like we do. Together we can show to the world that classic hard rock - or heavy rock, how ever you want name it - isn`t really dead yet, it`s still alive and kickin'! We are looking forward for the cooperation with Frontiers Records and can$B!-(Jt wait to begin this chapter. It will be a great moment to release our first album, so stay tuned guys, spread the word and follow us on Facebook and Twitter. One for the road dudes!"

Frontiers is really excited to develop new killer talent and looks forward to release KING COMPANY's debut album sometime in the summer of 2016.

DECEMBER PEOPLE Tour 2015 - Thanksgiving to Christmas

New CD - December People - A Classic Rock Christmas

While many rock stars spend their down time from touring luxuriating on beautiful

beaches in warm climates, notables from a few multi-platinum selling records and world

tours are spending their holidays on the road to advocate for local food pantries and

fundraising during the months of November and December. Their mission is to raise

awareness for local hunger in heartland and urban cities across the United States and the

critical needs and challenges local food banks face to carry on the good work in their

communities.

This is the purpose and the reason that December People was formed a few years ago by

rocker, Grammy nominee and studio owner/producer Robert Berry. He enlisted some of

his likeminded, kindhearted fellow rockers and formed a band! They are the

DECEMBER PEOPLE!

Quite simply, they take the music of Christmas and perform the songs in the high-energy

style of rock n' roll bands that everyone knows? That's the December People!

Imagine this mashup: "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" + Billy Idol's "White

Wedding." That's the December People!

The members include classic rockers Gary Pihl, the superb guitarist for BOSTON.

Sammy Hagar's extraordinary drummer David Lauser, The Tubes' amazing keyboardist

David Medd, soloist Jack Foster and founder Robert Berry, lead singer and bassist who

performs and records with Hagar and Keith Emerson & Carl Palmer. DECEMBER

PEOPE are embarking on a concert tour November 21- December 25 that takes them to

Michigan, Kansas and California for ten shows taking place in November and December

in 2015.

The live shows incorporate choirs, drum lines other local flavor to create a most family

friendly holiday event called "A Classic Rock Christmas."

Over the years, December People concerts have raised tons of food, raised awareness for

hunger and united volunteers with generous locals with worthy local organizers.

The December People's "Classic Rock Christmas" tour collected a ton of food for a local food pantry.

Pictured here with Food Bank volunteers after last years concert at the Topeka Performing Arts Center the

band is returning for a show on November 21, 2015.

RESURRECTION KINGS Debut Album out in January 2016 on Frontiers

Artist:

Resurrection Kings

Release Year:

2015

Friday, January 29, 2016

Categories:

News Feed

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the release of the highly anticipated self-titled debut album from RESURRECTION KINGS on January 29.

Today the band releases the first video from the new project for the song “Who Did You Run To”. The video can be viewed below:

Digital pre-orders for the album are available now and include an instant download of "Who Do You Run To". Get yours here: http://radi.al/ResurrectionKings

RESURRECTION KINGS is a new band centered around the talents of former DIO and GIUFFRIA guitar player, Craig Goldy. Everything starts from a set of demos he recorded with singer Chas West, a guy with an unbelievable set of pipes, who has worked with such bands as the JASON BONHAM BAND, FOREIGNER, LYNCH MOB, TRIBE OF GYPSIES, and 3 LEGGED DOGG.

“It all started five years ago when Craig Goldy asked me to get together to write,” says Chas. Out of those demo sessions, the song “Livin’ Out Loud” in particular strongly impressed Frontiers' President, Serafino Perugino who asked Craig to build up a project/band around that musical concept. He also suggested Sean McNabb for bass (LYNCH MOB, DOKKEN, QUIET RIOT), while Craig later brought in former DIO bandmate Vinny Appice on drums.

“Serafino wanted to make an album with famous musicians from the 80’s and I was flabbergasted when he asked me to participate” says Craig Goldy. “We’ve all know each other for a long time and it was a pleasure to work with everyone – my God with Chas, Sean and Vinny that’s a killer line-up!”

Frontiers in-house writer and producer Alessandro Del Vecchio (Revolution Saints, Hardline, Rated X) offered his services to the band and wrote (or co-wrote with Goldy) a few tracks to round up the material that was available. “He is a great songwriter, producer, musician and singer” says Goldy, “some of the demo versions already had vocals and everything else. So all we did was learn the songs and did them our way. When Sean and Vinny got hold of these songs they really came alive and gave me automatic inspiration to write and perform on top of what was already written”.

The resulting album is an impressive example of Classic Hard rock with a contemporary production and edge. Think Whitesnake “1987” mixed with DIO’s “Dream Evil”, with a touch of classic Zeppelin and Rainbow and you will not be far from the end result. An extremely strong record where the musicians are able to stretch their wings and please their numerous fans!

Tracklisting includes: Distant Prayer; Livin' Out Loud; Wash Away; Who Did You Run To; Fallin' For You; Never Say Goodbye; Path Of Love; Had Enough; Don't Have To Fight No More; Silent Wonder; What You Take.

RESURRECTION KINGS

Chas West – vocals

Craig Goldy – guitars

Perth's CHAOS DIVINE are without peer in Australian heavy music.

Leading audiences and listeners through a journey of uncompromising arrangements, crushing heavy riffs and soaring melodies, the band has well and truly immersed themselves in a realm of sound and style matched by few and admired by many.

With a suite of industry accolades, national and international tours and a recent appearance at the 2014 Soundwave Festival under their belt, the fierce five-piece has spent the best part of the past three years carefully crafting their eagerly awaited follow-up to 2011's "The Human Connection" - the group's critically acclaimed second studio album branded by many as a benchmark in modern progressive metal.

Following the success of a $15,000 crowdfunding campaign and the release of Soldiers, the crushing first single from the new album which shot to #1 on the Australian iTunes metal charts, the stage is now set for what will be a turning point in the band's career. "Colliding Skies" is the band's third studio release, out now through Firestarter Music, and their most accomplished work to date.

Mixed and mastered by renowned east-coast producer Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus), the new album showcases a new level of craftsmanship in power and melody. With 10 explosive, aggressive, and uncompromising tracks, it's sure to deliver a step-change to an already proven formula that will reignite Australia's heavy music scene.

Having recently signed with international management and booking company Intromental, CHAOS DIVINE is now looking forward to be performing their amazing music across stages worldwide.

Artist:

Hailing from San Diego, California, the hard rock/metal act SEVENTRAIN featuring guitarist Eric Horton (CAGE), guitarist Jef Poremba (6ONE9, KOFI BAKER), bassist Dino Andino (TOURNIQUET) and drummer Joel Maitoza (24-7 SPYZ, SHOCKHEAD) have officially announced their new vocalist as Eric Koonze (SICARUS).

Seventrain amicably parted ways with their former singer, Jon Campos in August of 2015 who wanted to focus more on his acoustic solo career as the band wanted to pursue a more heavier direction for the next album, yet still maintain their bluesy metal groove from the first album.

Drummer Joel Maitoza states: We would like to take this opportunity to officially announce and welcome Eric Koonze to the band as the new frontman for Seventrain. With Eric's exceptional vocal abilities and positive attitude, we now feel like the possibilities are endless. The new songs will reflect that and we couldn't be happier. We would like to thank all of the amazing vocalists who took time out of their busy lives to learn our songs and came down to our studio to audition. Over the past 10 weeks, we have had nearly 50 applicants and narrowed it down to 12 live auditions. Seventrain also wants to apologize to our fans for having to cancel our dates with Lynch Mob and Prong in order to take the time needed for the audition process. We plan to get back into the studio as soon as possible to continue work on the new album and are already scheduling shows for early 2016. Onward and upward'we'll see you soon!

Seventrain will make their live performance debut with their new vocalist on February 5th, 2016 at Ramona Mainstage in Ramona, California opening for Operation: Mindcrime featuring Geoff Tate.

Interested in hearing what the new singer for Seventrain sounds like? Here is a video of Eric Koonze with his previous band SICARUS:

The album charted on the CMJ Loud Rock Top 40 at #36 it's first week to radio on February 25th, 2014 and received favorable reviews by critics worldwide in print and online media.
