Blue Pie Records announces the worldwide release of ‘Round And Round And Round’, a rare music video archive of legendary AC/DC frontman BON SCOTT.
‘Round And Round And Round’, written by Peter Head, was recorded in 1974 with THE MOUNT LOFTY RANGERS, a band that, along with Bon, has fostered Aussie legends Jimmy Barnes and Glenn Shorrock.
“Bon recorded ‘Round And Round And Round’ in the first 8-Track studio in Adelaide, just a few weeks before he was to embark on his historic journey as vocalist with the newly formed AC/DC”, recounts Peter Head.
Almost 22 years later in 1996, Peter Head and Sydney musician Ted Yanni made a pact to resurrect Bon’s vocal with a new backing track.
“You may have thought until now that you’ve heard everything Bon Scott recorded pre AC/DC. But what you have in your hands is the Bon Scott you didn’t hear”, says Vincent Lovegrove, who shared the vocals with Bon’s former band, THE VALENTINES.
Ted Yanni devoted almost two years to bringing Bon back to life via two previously unheard songs assisted musicians and technicians for whom this project has been a labour of love.
AC/DC is arguably the biggest and best rock band in the world. Joining the band in 1974, Bon Scott contributed to AC/DC’s best work throughout the 70s. From High Voltage (1974) to Highway To Hell (1979), Bon’s work with AC/DC is to this day some of the band’s most famous work.
Along with the worldwide release of ‘Round And Round And Round’, and Bon’s 1974 recorded audio Carey Gully on iTunes, fans can view Vytas Serelis’ unseen photographs of Bon Scott at this location.
‘Round And Round And Round’ is a Blue Pie Records worldwide release available now at iTunes.

Stern Pinball, Inc., the world’s leading maker of real pinball games, recently announced the availability of the AC/DC Luci Premium pinball machine. Based on Steve Ritchie’s hit design, the latest addition to the AC/DC pinball lineup features an entirely new original artwork package that captures the titillating rock and roll spirit of AC/DC and AC/DC pinball.
Players will rock with Luci to twelve classic AC/DC hits including ‘Back In Black’, ‘Highway To Hell’ and ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’. Other exciting game features include a lower playfield, ball-shooting cannon, drop targets, a mechanized Hell’s Bell and animations of the band. This decidedly edgy tribute to one of rock and roll’s most memorable bands pushes the visual and auditory limits with its style, sound and infectious riffs.
The AC/DC Luci Premium game continues both the Stern Pinball and the Stern family tradition of producing quality pinball machines for young and old. Stern Pinball traces its lineage to Philadelphia in the 1930s when Sam Stern entered the business of operating pinball games. Sam subsequently became part owner and President of Williams Manufacturing, a pioneer of the pinball industry, and passed his lifelong enthusiasm for the game and the business of pinball to his son, Gary, who founded Stern Pinball. Today pinball remains one of the world’s favorite pastimes.

UK metallers A THOUSAND ENEMIES have released their new video for the song “Hadleys Hope.” The track is the first single to be released from upcoming album “Stand As One” due out in January 2014.
Check out the video:
Stated vocalist Bane ‘Enemies’ Holland via the bands official facebook page:
2013 has been full of incredible highs and lows. The following sums up the year, in Bane’s own words \m/
“Funny year, this one for me musically.
Started off flying, things going really well. Then the wheels fell off and it looked well bleak for a time, then it went full on tits up, the engine blew up and it looked like it was over.
But then… when everything looked lost, there was a re-jig of members, and with the unbelievable finds of Mr Dave Ward and Mr Liam Johnson on guitars, and the return of the awesome Mr Paul Gore on drums, things started to look a little brighter. Suddenly things were worth hanging on to. Xx
Now, after a lot of hard work and hours upon hours in the rehearsal room, I’m gonna finish the year in style with my brothers in A Thousand Enemies. We have played a couple of crackin’ gigs and have an awesome music video to release in the next couple of days. The writing is back to fluent, top form and the standard of musicianship is outstandingly high.
So glad that me and my bro Andy Goulter kept the faith in each other, I couldn’t have done this without him beside me on that stage. As big as I am, I’d have been lost without him, thank you brother xx
Also a massive thanks to the gaffer for holding things together for us, kicking us up the arse and getting us back on track, onwards and upwards as you always say xx
Next year promises to be a quality year with the release of the album ‘ FINALLY in early January’ and some awesome ‘brand new’ things in the pipeline xx
Thanks to everyone for the massive, continued support. It really does mean the world to me. xxx
Stay metal guys and have an awesome Christmas and new year! xxx

Hailing from France, blackened death metallers TEMPLE OF BAAL announced a short string of new live appearances in support of “Verses Of Fire” album, released late autumn. On December 14th in Paris, France, the band will join ANTAEUS and WATAIN for what will be the group’s last show for the year. The event will take place in club Trabendo. In 2014, the quartet will emerge in March at the Speyer Grey Mass Festival (Germany) and later on at Hellfest, on the 21st of June. As of late, TEMPLE OF BAAL announced a new booking deal with Eld Events, who will take care of band’s live appearances outside of France. More shows are expected to be announced soon.
Shows:
Saturday 14 December, club Trabendo (Paris, France) – Watain + Antaeus + Temple Of Baal
Friday 14 March 2014 (Speyer, Germany) – Speyer Grey Mass Festival
Saturday 21 June 2014 (Clisson, France) – Hellfest
“Verses Of Fire’s” sound has been carefully manufactured by Andrew Guillotin in Hybreed Studios. Focusing on a more organic side thanks to the use of tube amps and natural drums, the production allows the natural old-school feeling of the band to shine through the whole album. Through ten tracks – lasting about an hour – TEMPLE OF BAAL explores a wide spectre of extreme metal: from raging blast beats and thrashing riffs, through haunted mid tempo vibes, and up to the point of band’s primal influence – the sinister sounds of early 90’s black/death metal. New album is available in digipack CD, limited double LP and extra limited gold LP (66 copies only).
The full album can be listened to at: http://agoniarecords.bandcamp.com/album/verses-of-fire
