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.

KREATOR’s Mille Petrozza Talks About Possible New Releases

Posted by metalshockfinland on July 23, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: KREATOR, Mille Petrozza. Leave a comment

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:

THE BURBS Release Heartfelt New Single + Video ‘Ladder To The Moon’

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: THE BURBS. Leave a comment

Get ready to be captivated by The Burbs, the Surf Coast rock sensation that’s making waves with their latest release, Ladder To The Moon. Formed in 2016 amidst the vibrant Surf Coast/Geelong rock scene, The Burbs quickly gained a reputation for their electrifying sold-out shows and East Coast tours. Known for their unique blend of pop melodies and dark lyrics, they effortlessly evoke a nostalgic vibe that resonates both sonically and visually. 

‘Ladder To The Moon’ is out now: https://theburbs.bandcamp.com/track/ladder-to-the-moon

2024 has been a monumental year for The Burbs, marked by the release of their 12- track demo album, Sunlight Spills Across The Swimming Pool. Now, they are buzzing with excitement as they drop their new single, ‘Ladder To The Moon‘. This heartfelt soft rock ballad, with its metaphoric lyrics about loss, features stunning Pink Floyd-esque guitars and Beatles-like keys. The record kicks off with a vocal sample followed by an acoustic guitar progression that sets the stage. The first chorus hooks listeners with echoes of classic rock, Britpop, and folk. As the track progresses, a psychedelic indie rock vibe with touches of indie folk takes hold, leading into a musical interlude rich with vocal harmonies and sweet chords. The final chorus seamlessly transitions into an outro, creating an enticing conclusion that leaves listeners wanting more. 

The Burbs are set to return to the stage this year, with new dates to be announced soon.

New SLAYER Shows in Europe Possible? Kerry King Raises Hopes

Posted by metalshockfinland on July 22, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Slayer. Leave a comment

In the latest interview with Kerry King by Metal Injection, he admitted that he wouldn’t be shocked if Slayer played one or two shows in Europe. You can watch the complete interview below.

Not too long ago, Slayer announced a few reunion shows in the USA. However, Kerry King always emphasized that these would be the only shows. But in the latest interview with Metal Injection, released yesterday, Kerry King gave reason to hope that under certain conditions, shows in Europe could also happen.

Kerry King’s Statement in Detail:

“It’s hard not to. I’m trying to be real and definitely say, hey, we’re not gonna tour again. And we’re certainly not gonna record again, ’cause I have a means of doing that now with my band. [We’re doing] three shows for now. And I say ‘for now’ because I know Europe’s gonna come knocking, ‘Hey, man, you guys played America. Come see us.’ So it wouldn’t surprise me if something like that happened, but it’s certainly not on my books right now.”

How the Reunion Came About

In another part of the interview, King explained the events that led to the Slayer reunion. As someone who has notoriously rejected offers in the past, King said he finally relented when he was offered a limited edition to commemorate the band’s end five years ago.

“I turned it down for the longest time. You can imagine we’ve been turning down offers since December 1st, 2019. And at that point, I thought, ‘No, we’re never gonna play again.’ Tom retired. So it’s written. And then offers keep coming, offers keep coming, the money goes up. And this one came around and it was when we were booking shows from my band, and I go to my manager.”

“I’m, like, ‘Are we talking about my band or Slayer? What are we talking about here?’ He’s, like, ‘Slayer.’ And I’m, like, ‘Yeah, but that’s done. We hung that shit up. I dropped the chains. Done.’ But then it started getting to where this is really gonna be the five-year anniversary of our last tour and I went, ‘That’s kind of cool. Three shows, five-year anniversary. Okay.’ That’s about all I thought about it.”

Reactions from the Band Members

“The funny thing about this story is I didn’t tell anybody in my band. I’d never been in that situation. And the news dropped that we were doing three shows and everybody blows me up. I’m, like, ‘Goddammit.’ ‘It never occurred to me to tell you guys.’ Never fucking occurred to me. It wasn’t a secret. They can keep secrets. I know that. And I felt so bad.”

“It never occurred to me. Paul [Bostaph, Slayer and King’s solo drummer] knew, of course. But [the rest of the band], they all texted me and blew me up. I’m, like, ‘I’m so sorry, man. It never occurred to me. This is what’s up. This is what’s gonna happen. If it happens again, it’s gonna be the same thing. We’re never gonna fucking make a record. We’re never gonna fucking tour. This  is my band.’”

For all metal fans, it remains exciting to see if Slayer will actually come to Europe. Stay tuned and watch the complete interview to learn more about Kerry King’s and Slayer’s plans.

South of Heaven Festival 2025 Announces First 11 Bands: MESHUGGAH, HATEBREED, TEXTURES, SACRED REICH + More

Posted by metalshockfinland on July 22, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: South of Heaven Festival. Leave a comment

On Saturday June 7 and Sunday June 8, 2025 the brand new open-air festival South Of Heaven Open Air will take place in Maastricht, The Netherlands.

During this new ambitious event, the crème de la crème of the international metal scene (20+ acts) will perform over two days on two stages.

Today, South of Heaven announces the first 11 names: Meshuggah, Hatebreed, Textures, Sacred Reich, Wolfbrigade, Midnight, Gutalax, Legion Of The Damned, Severe Torture, From The Crypt, Ripsaw.

More names will follow soon!

The pre-sale of limited Early Bird tickets starts Thursday, July 25 at 11:00 CEST via the website HERE: https://southofheaven.nl

SOUTH OF HEAVEN OPEN AIR IN GASHOUDER MAASTRICHT

South Of Heaven Open Air aims for a strong line-up (internationally celebrated metal veterans as headliners, plus new talent), a good old metal atmosphere (intimate and authentic; metal fans among themselves), a well-accessible top location, enjoying food and drinks in a Burgundian style, and a relatively low ticket price (€125,- for an Early Bird combi-ticket).

Despite the overcrowded Dutch event calendar, South Of Heaven Open Air is a welcome addition, as this festival focuses mainly on music, atmosphere, and haute cuisine food & drinks, instead of pretentious side issues such as science, politics, literature, interactive art, and abstract theater.

Just a fifteen-minute walk from the center of Maastricht lies the atmospheric area Bosscherveld with the iconic Gashouder as its centrepiece, the last remaining example of the seven gas holders that once stood in Maastricht. This monumental site fits one-to-one in terms of look & feel with a metal festival and is also easily accessible by bike, public transport, and car – also from Germany and Belgium.
