Powerwolf Band 2017

POWERWOLF – At the end of may Germany’s most successful heavy metal band released the official music video for their new song “Demon’s Are A Girl’s Best Friend”. Now the band released another breathtaking music video for the song „Fire & Forgive“ which is taken from the new album The Sacrament Of Sin which will be published on July 20th via Napalm Records.

POWERWOLF‘s history of success is a true metal fairytale! With their last three records all hitting the TOP 3 of the German album charts, two of them at NUMBER 1, sold-out headline shows and frenetically celebrated festival gigs all over Europe, POWERWOLF prove: Metal is religion and with their new effort The Sacrament Of Sin the best is yet to come!

The Sacrament Of Sin is full of purest lifeblood and heaviest passion! This new record overwhelms both with sophisticated songwriting and sheer aggression – and proves once more why POWERWOLF are the one and only true high priests of heavy metal!

TARJA Premieres Second Song And Video “Undertaker” From Upcoming “Act II”

Tarja_Act II_cover-banner

Today, TARJA reveals the second song from her brand new live-art-album & video “Act II”.

The thrilling live version of “Undertaker”, taken from Tarja’s live performance in Milan, portrays Tarja’s unique talent for combining crystal clear classical vocals, a heavy rocking metal sound and the dynamics of a film score.

In Milan, Tarja and band performed a stunning and powerful set in front of an enthusiastic crowd. After releasing “Love To Hate” from the intimate show at the historic Metropolis Studio in London, “Undertaker” discovers a slightly different side of the queen of Heavy Rock and gives a powerful taste of the forthcoming live release “Act II” showing a different angle of the Art-Video production.

The official live video is now available on earMUSIC’s official YouTube Channel:

“Undertaker” is available to stream and download as instant grat as part of the album preorder:

Pre-orders of “Act II” are available now:

► Digital: https://tarja.lnk.to/Act2_Digital
► 2CD: https://tarja.lnk.to/Act2_CD
► 3LP+download: https://tarja.lnk.to/Act2_Vinyl

►Mediabook (2CD+2BD): https://tarja.lnk.to/Act2_Mediabook

Tarja_Act II_2CD_cover - small

“Act II”, the follow up to Tarja’s worldwide Top 10 chart success, combines two incredible, yet slightly different live performances on video:

The first chapter, “Metropolis Alive”, has been filmed two months prior to the release of Tarja’s 2016 success “The Shadow Self” in an intimate surrounding at renowned Metropolis Studios in London, UK. “Act II’s” second chapter has been recorded on November 29th, 2016 at the magnificent Teatro della Luna in Milan, Italy and includes numerous hits from all four Tarja albums.

Even though the shows deliberately differ in look, sound, approach to the music and adrenalin, both have one thing in common: from the very first to the very last tune, the state of the art production displays Tarja’s energetic performance and her graceful, charming presence.

“Act II” is going to be released on July 27th, 2018 on earMUSIC as 2CD digipak, 3LP Gatefold (180g, black), 2DVD, Blu-ray, Limited Mediabook 2CD+2BD (incl. two full live shows filmed at Woodstock Festival in Poland and Hellfest in France as bonus) and Digital.

A wide variety of exclusive, limited fan items and bundles can be found on Tarja’s official web shop: https://tarja.tmstor.es

“Act I”, Tarja’s first ever live release, charted Top 10 all over Europe as well as almost all over the world, with a sensational #5 in Germany’s General Charts. The video version even remained for over two months at the peak of the Finnish music video charts.

“Act II” keeps the energy and aesthetics of its predecessor, but adds a new chapter to the live saga in a brand new way.

“Turn off the lights, volume up and dive into the show!” – Tarja

This autumn, Tarja will be touring all over Europe together with STRATOVARIUS with “A Nordic Symphony ‘18”.

Lucifer

On July 6th , 2018, heavy rockers LUCIFER will release their much anticipated second studio album, “Lucifer II”. Now, the band invites you to check out the new single ‘Dreamer’.

“Dreamer was the first song Nicke and I wrote together,” says singer Johanna Sadonis and Nicke Andersson adds: “We got one horse, one cemetary and one band. That makes up for a pretty good video in my eyes.”

Praised as “an album offering everything a modern heavy rock classic requires” (Classic Rock, 8/10), “heavy, but full of melody…with Sadonis’ pure angelic voice over the heft” (Powerplay, 8/10), “Lucifer II” notably upped the ante compared to its predecessor and is available as black LP+CD, jewelcase CD and as limited coloured vinyl versions: 

200x white – Sound Pollution http://bit.ly/LuciferSoundPollution

300x transparent sun yellow – US indie stores
100x clear – Century Media EU / SOLD OUT

“Lucifer II” marks the first studio release of the new LUCIFER incarnation now consisting of vocalist Johanna Sadonis, guitarist Robin Tidebrink, and multi-instrumentalist Nicke Andersson (The Imperial State Electric, Entombed, The Hellacopters), who plays drums and also took over bass and guitar when recording “Lucifer II”. The band’s live line-up is completed by Martin Nordin (Dead Lord) on guitar and bass player Alexander Mayr.

“Lucifer II” was recorded at the Honk Palace in Stockholm and Ola Ersfjord (Dead Lord, Tribulation, Primordial) mixed it at Cuervo Recording Service in Madrid.

LUCIFER are currently gearing up for their performance at this year’s Hellfest and will perform at Psycho Las Vegas, Into The Void and Rockpalast Crossroads festivals later this year. On July 6, the band will also celebrate the album release at Geronimo’s in Stockholm, Sweden!
