Swedish heirs of 80s Hard Rock H.E.A.T have released their new single “Freedom”, now available on all music streaming & download platforms. Once again, the band shows its ability to blend powerful, high-energy riffs with heartfelt lyrics that touch on the themes of hope, courage, and perseverance.
H.E.A.T have been making waves in the scene since their formation in 2007, earning a loyal fanbase with their electrifying live shows and catchy, anthemic songs. After the return of original singer Kenny Leckremo on vocals, and hymns of praise for their 2022 album “Force Majeure”, H.E.A.T promise to deliver more of the same energy in 2023.
“Freedom” is just a taste of what’s to come, and fans can look forward to more exciting news and releases from the band in the coming months. Stay tuned and mark May 5th in your calendars!

With a combined track record that includes work with some of the biggest names in Rock, Last in Line delivered an album that will stand the test of time.

German high speed power metallers SCULFORGE have signed to MDD Records and will unleash their debut longplayer on the universe in early summer!
During the Corona Lockdown 2020, Polly McSculwood (vox, guit.) and Fabz McBlackscul (guitars) decided to start a new musical adventure. Everything that happened then happened out of love for music and pure boredom – and the two were obviously very bored, because in the following they created an epic sci-fi story that is -perhaps- a little bit influenced by Warhammer 40k and in which the band stays thematically.
In October last year, a first single was released, “Spacehull”, which already hints at where the journey will go musically and in terms of content. Stay tuned, more infos soon!
In a recent interview with Ultimate Guitar magazine, veteran drummer CARMINE APPICE kicked up a dust storm when he lamented the fact that a certain stadium metal group had been relying on pre-recorded tracks in their live show. In retaliation, the bassist for said metal group referred to Appice as a “washed up drummer.” But as a member of numerous pioneering classic rock bands like Vanilla Fudge and Cactus, often dubbed “the American Led Zeppelin,” as well as longtime collaborator with Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck and a host of others, Appice has had more than his fair share of stage experience and knows the kind of chops it takes to command a stage show.
Even now, after 5 decades in the music business, Appice continues to release new albums and break new ground. His most recent project, a pairing with superstar guitarist and producer extraordinaire Fernando Perdomo, is about to unleash a brand new studio album titled Running Up That Hill. Set for release on May 26, the album consists of fiery rock instrumentals, featuring special guest performances by Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big, David Lee Roth), Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater), Jimmy Haslip (Yellowjackets), Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (Guns N’ Roses), Tony Franklin (The Firm), Phil Soussan (Ozzy Osbourne, Vince Neil) and more!

‘Stay Away From Me’ is the new single from UK’s Modern hard rockers ONE LAST DAY, released April 1st. The single is shorter and punchier than the previous single, while still maintaining the huge choruses and vocal hooks the band has become known for.
Alex on ‘Stay Away From Me’: “Stay Away From Me is a 3 minute hard rock banger mixed and mastered by Meyrick at Floodgate Audio, who has done an amazing job at making us sound huge as usual. The lyrics are about distancing yourself from toxic relationships, which can bring out the worst of you as an individual, so keeping away is beneficial to keeping your own sanity. With a catchy chorus and chunky riffs, we think this track will be stuck in your heads.”
Gareth adds: “The music was written for this track with the intention of keeping it simple and upbeat, and most importantly suitable for radio play, coming in at just over 3 minutes in length. This is the 2nd track which our new drummer Andy performs on, and the first which he has had a hand in writing with us.”
About the Artwork: “The artwork doesn’t really have any connection to the track, it’s just something we think looks cool. You can also find the image from the artwork on our new range of t-shirts and hoodies.”
Track credits: Vocals – Alex Willox Rhythm guitar and bass – Gareth Stapleton Lead guitar – John Harmsworth Drums – Andy Scott

“The Propaganda Machine”, the brand new studio album by Demonic Resurrection frontman DEMONSTEALER, is released today on Swedish label Black Lion Records. Accompanied by an elite ensemble of some of the best musicians in metal (Kataklysm, ex -Cradle of Filth, Ne Obliviscaris + many more), “The Propaganda Machine” is relentless in its brutality while still remaining melodic. To celebrate the release in glorious style, Demonstealer has unleashed a brand new playthrough video for “The Art Of Disinformation”. The song features Sebastian Lanser, Kilian Duarte, Anabelle and Alex Baillie and you can watch the video below.
Demonstealer comments:
“On this track I got to work with Sebastian Lanser (Obsidian/ex-Obscura) who is an absolute machine and Kilian Duarte (Scale The Summit/Abiotic) on bass. The song is just a chunky riff monster and these guys create just the most sturdy backbone to the track with the precise playing. While Alex Baillie (Cognizance) added some epic rocky lead guitar that just brings it all together. Lyrically we’re just holding up a mirror to the world as it is today.“
