releases as well as reviews of Awsome artists
already out.
COMING SOON
3 Doors Down-Self Titled Cd due in stores May
20th 2008.Having been a fan of 3 Doors Down
from there debut release "The Better Life"
comes there 4th Cd.Having only heard a couple
tracks from this new Cd it sounds as solid as
the others.No real suprises here but that's
ok.3 Doors Down doesn't need to change there
style in my opinion what they have works and it
works well, as the saying goes don't fix
what's not broken.Have a feeling this will end
up being another great success for them.If you
liked there previous work you will like this
one as well.

Kings x-CD-XV May 20th 2008realease date.I have
to admit here since there cridicly acclaimed
"gretchen goes to Nebraska" I've pretty much
lost track of Kings x.Not to say there not a
good or even great band though the great I've
not realy seen yet.Remembering how good
"gretchen goes to nebraska"is leaves me to
think this may not measure up to that Cd.From
there website you will be able to hear one
track from this new Cd.Sad to say not much
change in them here,other than to say the song
left me not realy wanted more.I will have to
check the rest of this when it comes out in
hopes there are better tracks from it.Lets hope
so.

blaze Bayley-May 30th 2008 Release of "The man
who wouldn't die".blaze Bayley former singer
for Iron Maiden (The X Factor,Virtual
XI.)Though in my opinion not as powerful a
singer as Bruce Dickinson is nonetheless a good
singer in his own right.I've not heard any of
his solo work except for a clip from his
website.His work in maiden was quit good.I will
Be checking out more of him soon.

Jorn Lande-"Lonely are the brave will be out
june 6th 2008 according to his website.Jorn is
one of the best melodic rock singers out today
having lent his awsome voice to bands:The
snakes,Ark,Millenium,Masterplan as well as a
collaboration with Russell Allen(Symphony
X.)Having heard this mans work "lonely are the
brave" will yet again be another excellent
adding to any melodic rocker out there.You can
check out the title track for this Cd at

OUT NOW
Jon Oliva's Pain-Global Warning hit the stores
on March 22nd 2008.HMmmmmmm where does one
begin with Jon Oliva.Along with his brother
chris(RIP) created one of rock/metals best
bands Savatage of which I'm a huge fan of as
well as helping with Chris Caffery with Trans
Siberain Orchastra aka TSO.Though no word if
there will be another Savatage Cd but atleast
we have his solo stuff this his Fourth under
this name.This Cd is as strong if not maybe a
bit stronger than the debut "Tage Mahal".While
Listening to any of jon's stuff you will
certainly hear the Savatage sound but hey what
would one expect from a founding member of said
band.In my opinion anything this man touches is
gold in the music world.Then again i'm bias due
to my love of Savatage.A must in my opinion to
anyone with a pulse.

8th 2008 for the U.S.A.Well what can one say of
Kamelot these guys have put out nothing but
great progressive metal since day one.This
release is a 2 disc reissue featuring a live Cd
from Belgrade, Two videos including new studio
tracks along with a new cover and booklet.If
you've not heard of Kamelot what dungeoun have
you been locked in.Get your butts in gear and

Violent Divine-Self Titled yes yet another self
titled Cd atleast its a debut and not like
established bands that due so I think to not
coming up with a album name but anyways.Violent
Divine hailing from sweden and let me tell ya
it's always great to hear a band that brings
back the straight forward in your face hard
rock.Violent Divine is one breath of fresh are
to the cookie cutter corperate junk that we are
all hammered with on fcc controled radio(thank
god for Internet Radio)although i've yet to
hear them played on reg radio here.They should
be played everywhere if for no reason other
than to shake up the poor excuse of music that
seems to be the norm of today.If you like your
music straight ahead then Violent Divine is for
you.

Theory of a deadman-Scars & Souvenirs out on
April 1st 2008.Another band I've been a long
time fan of well since there debut release
"Theory of a deadman".Yet again another hard
hitting band original sound there realy is no
band out that sounds anything like them a
pleasant change in today's music scene.Scars &
Souvenirs is another excellent CD,The writing
is dead on and as always the musicianship is as
tight if not tighter than ever before.If this
Cd doesn't turn heads to the rockers of the
world then I think nothing will ever.a
deffinate must for any rocker or rockette out
there.Go get this great Cd.
