Swiss Power Metallers BAD MARILYN have released their new single and video ‘Perfect Moment’, produced under the masterful guidance of Dennis Ward.
Singer Andrea: “One of the coolest songs for headbanging and singing on stage, ‘Perfect Moment‘ is packed with powerful riffs, a melodic vocal line, and killer keys that blend seamlessly with the guitar. I love how the song captures the essence of taking action without hesitation – there are no perfect moments. In our fast-paced society, this message couldn’t be more important.
Check out the energy and drive of ‘Perfect Moment’ in their new music video. Don’t miss it! For more info, visit www.bad-marilyn.com and follow the band on social media.”

Founded in the summer of 2023, BAD MARILYN quickly put all their eggs in one basket. With the experienced and exceptionally strong-voiced front woman Andrea at the centre, the common vision was quickly clear.
It was to be highly varied and stylistically surprising, yet always fully emotional and distinctive POWER METAL – and that’s exactly what the impressively playful quintet now serves up on their debut album “Eye Of The Snake” that promises an incomparable Metal experience!
A lot of heart and soul and passion went into a work that resembles a highly energetic powerhouse. With “Eye Of The Snake“, the band, which is known for its powerful stage shows and highly motivated musicians, has created an album that transports the listener into a magical Metal world.
The eleven power songs presented by the Helvetic formation promise an unforgettable experience for every Metal fan.

When the leaves fall and the wind blows through the streets of Berlin, it’s time for HERBST [engl. Autumn]. The German rock and metal act has dedicated itself to the rough and dark sound that breaks through the music scene like a storm. With heavy riffs and gripping beats they hit the Zeitgeist – intense and unmistakably melodic!
The four-piece featuring Oliver Weckert – with his distinctively melodic voice -, Mark Rötz on bass/backing vocals, Steffen Böhm on drums and Niels Gebhardt on guitar, stands for music that gets under your skin. Although their lyrics come in German, they try to reflect life in an unvarnished way that leave no listener untouched. Authenticity isn’t an empty promise here – it’s the foundation of every HERBST note.
With their much-acclaimed debut album, “Ein letzter Abend” [engl. “A last evening”], the band quickly took the German rock scene by storm, now, it’s time for a next chapter in HERBST‘s uprising career and the September-release of their much-awaited, new studfio offering “Spiegel” with Drakkar Entertainment!

Reviewing the new album “Out Of The Shadows” Keep-On-Rocking.com said… “Out Of The Shadows” is a golden moment of melodic hard rock. But the Brits haven’t opened a time capsule here. Quite the opposite, they have brought the NWOBHM sound into the present day. Conclusion: “All killer – no filler!” Every single song is a hit. Chapeau!

Dark Heart were formed during the early eighties, releasing the debut album ‘’Shadows of the Night’’ on the Roadrunner label in 1984. After a number of successful live shows, the fast approaching end of NWOBHM era meant the band decided to go their separate ways, never quite fulfilling their potential or producing a follow up second album. Over the years the band has developed a cult following, gaining many new fans to their music. Founding member of the band Alan Clark went on to form Change of Heart moving from guitar to vocals and as the main song writer, the band have very much established themselves as one of the best British AOR/Rock bands, with 4 albums released to date…… Fast forward to 2024 and Dark Heart are BACK!
After a number of years being asked to make a new album, Alan finally decided to commence work on new material. The style, although still routed in classic metal/Hard Rock has very much moved away from NWOBHM, to not only bring the sound up to date,
Speaking about the new release, Alan Clark from Dark Heart said, “Dark Heart are absolutely delighted to see the release of out album ‘’Out of the Shadows’’ through Battlegod Productions. We hope you will love the songs as much as we do!”
Dark Heart are delighted to announce joining the fold are; Geordie Clark (Drums) from the northeast UK. Geordie is a superb addition and we are delighted to have him on board. Along with Geordie we would also like to introduce on bass Daniel Millward, Daniel like Geordie has a wealth of experience and ability with many years in the music business. These are exciting times for the band and its continued development and we look forward both of them becoming an integral part of Dark Heart and new era!

The style, although still routed in classic metal/hard rock has very much moved away from NWOBHM, to not only bring the sound up to date, but also reflect the maturity in their song writing craft. Alan as the only original member of the band, has been working with Nick Catterick (Guitar) for a number of years on various projects, the pair have developed an intuitive and special understanding when writing, and working together, so it was a natural and easy choice to bring Nick on board. Nick who started playing guitar in his early teens has always been inspired by fiery and inventive players, drawing influences from the great players such as Moore, Sykes, Campbell, Norum with a touch of Lynch/Rhoads, and is set to be recognised for not only his playing ability, but also for one of the best guitar tones in the business.

About Paul Di’Anno’s Warhorse: The core of the band and founders are Paul Di’Anno, vocals, Hrvoje Madiraca, guitar and Ante Pupačić Pupi, guitar.
Paul Andrews, a British singer better known by his stage name Paul Di’Anno, his nearly half-century-long career began explosively with Iron Maiden, when with the EP ‘The Soundhouse Tapes’, and the albums ‘Iron Maiden’ and ‘Killers ‘ forever cemented the foundations of heavy metal. With timeless hits like ‘Iron Maiden’, ‘Remember Tomorrow’, ‘Running Free’, ‘Phantom of the Opera’, ‘Killers’, ‘Wratchild’, Murders in the Rue Morgue’, ‘Purgatory’ etc., they influenced numerous musicians and bands and were responsible for the creation or development of many subgenres in metal music.
Paul is known as one of the most productive singers, who has a huge number of albums and other releases behind him, either as a solo artist or a member of bands such as Gogmagog, Di’Anno’s Battlezone, Praying Mantis, Killers, Rockfellas, Architects of Chaoz or Warhorse. In all his incarnations, Paul always knew how to find a way to the fans, with numerous hits, uncompromising singing, which is confirmed by his successful career and furious live shows around the world.
For the last eight years, Paul faced serious health problems that almost ended his career, but thanks to his loyal fans, friends, Iron Maiden and his strong will to overcome the disease, Paul is on a big world tour again, and he recorded a new album with the Paul D’Anno’s Warhorse band, which will be released in mid-2024 for BraveWords Records, a new label, which is also an integral part of one of the most strongest brands in heavy metal music.
This icon of heavy metal with the heart of a punk rock rebel never spared himself in his life, but he always gave everything for music and fans, which is why they have followed him faithfully for almost fifty years.
Warhorse is the original band/project of Paul Di’Anno. The first idea of forming a band arose in December 2021, when Paul and guitarist Hrvoje Madiraca met in Zagreb, Croatia. The formation and naming of this project happened simultaneously with the writing and recording of new songs, which were started immediately after Paul and Hrvoje joined hands and thus formed the band. Warhorse independently released the DVD single ‘Stop the War’ in a limited edition of 666 copies and sold it out in just a few days. This was followed by the fantastic ‘Stop the War’ lyrics video, which delighted fans around the world. The Warhorse project gathered fantastic guest musicians on some songs, and a video will be filmed for almost every song on the album. The core of the band itself is the three ‘horsemen’ Paul Di’Anno – vocals, Hrvoje Madiraca – guitars and Ante Pupačić Pupi – Guitars. Fans at Warhorse live shows can expect a live explosion, musical virtuosos and a top stage attraction. Paul Di’Anno in the stadium edition, would be the most appropriate description. Warhorse is a parallel band to his classic ‘Paul Di’Anno’ line-up and unlike his standard set list, Warhorse concerts will abound with Warhorse songs, with the addition of Iron Maiden classics and special, unexpected covers chosen by Paul Di’Anno.
In an interview with Look Mag, Mille Petrozza revealed the first details about potential new releases. Learn more about the background and the band’s plans here!
Recently, Mille Petrozza, the frontman of Kreator, spoke with the Portuguese Look Mag about the current developments of a possible new album from his band. He revealed that since the release of their last album Hate Über Alles in 2022, he has been continuously working on new material and has already developed about ten songs or song ideas. Despite this progress, Petrozza emphasized the importance of the right timing and thematic maturity. He explains:
“I have written since ’21 or ’22, when we recorded it, I’ve already written, like, 10 songs or something, or 10 ideas for songs. And I could record an album today, but I want to wait until the right moment comes when I have a lyrical concept and everything feels right. To me, it’s not important to release something just for the sake of it. I think it needs to just feel right… I’d rather be quiet than saying something where I don’t have anything to say.”
Timeline for the Next Album
When asked about the timeline for their next release, Petrozza indicated that the band has 2026 in mind for their next album. He mentioned that 2025 could be dedicated to songwriting and recording, with the release planned for early 2026:
“We have a rough idea. We have scheduled the record for 2026, maybe — but if everything goes right. We’re probably gonna take the year ’25 off just for songwriting and recording. And let’s see where it takes us. But if everything goes to plan, then there will be a new Kreator record at the beginning of ’26.“
So, we can look forward to new Kreator material soon. You can listen to the full interview here:
