Since more than two decades, SHYLOCK have been an integral part of the hard rock scene. The two band masterminds, Matthias Schenk (lead vocals, songwriter) and Johannes Amrhein (lead and rhythm guitar) have been working together since the 2000s and have always been the driving forces with different line-ups in the name of rock. Right from their beginning, they delivered a various range of musical facettes, from catchy and contemporary hard rock, to sometimes snotty, sometimes heavy, sometimes melodic and of course also balladesque rock.

The history of the band, who parted ways in 2017, is as complex as life itself yet consists of many highlights: From the highly traded newcomer tip to sharing the big stages with acts such as Bonfire, Gotthard, Adler’s Appetite, Roger Chapman, Shakra, Right Said Fred, U.D.O., Primal Fear, to name just a few. In 2023, Schenk and Amrhein signed a deal with renowned label Massacre Records, who proudly reissues the band’s entire album back catalogue (Shylock, Pyronized, Welcome To Illusion, Devotion, RockBuster [Extended Version, incl. bonus tracks of the Japanese album edition] and Walking Tall), as well as their charity song “Rainbow” for the benefit of “Parents’ initiative for children with leukemia and tumors in Würzburg e.V.”, which was released as a Maxi CD in 2014!

Matthias Schenk and Johannes Amrhein currently leave SHYLOCK‘s future open. Both are happy that the “old songs” are available for public again. They are also fundamentally optimistic and can well imagine working creatively together again.

STRATUZ Present Lyric Video for ‘Caelibatus’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 4, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: STRATUZ. Leave a comment

“Caelibatus” is a track of STRATUZ, taken from “Osculum Pacis” due for release in CD format via Wormholedeath.

‘Caelibatus’ reflects the torment of a priest caught between his oath and his carnal desires for a woman who comes to his confessional. It’s his inner struggle between human passions and his spiritual devotion.

Formed in 1984, Stratuz is a Venezuelan doom-death metal band that gained recognition with their debut album “In Nomine…” in 1995, solidifying their status as pioneers of extreme metal. They disbanded in 2006 but reformed in 2019 and released “Osculum Pacis” on 26 April 2022. The album received widespread acclaim, reaching number one on the Jacquin Ravens Top 50 Metal on US radio station 99WNRR and being nominated as the best work of 2022 by Roberto Palmitesta of Escena Rock and recognized as the best extreme music album in the Venezuelan scene by Metal Pedia.

After a promising debut album in 2017, Danish hard rockers JUNKYARD DRIVE were ready to explode in the scene in 2018 with their second studio effort, “Black Coffee”. The timing was right, the band was kinda hot, but no one could expect the amazing collection of songs that the collective would write and record for the album.

The record was an instant success, with hits such as “Where I Belong” “Sweet Little Dreamer” and “Way Too Long” getting massive airplay on Danish radio, topping the streaming charts, and granting Junkyard Drive spots in the main festivals and Denmark and a start to their international career. Today, “Black Coffee” is one of Denmark’s hard rock’s most listened albums online, with over seven million streams on the main platforms. “Where I Belong” is even the most popular Junkyard Drive song, with more than three million streams on Spotify.

Now, after years sold out, “Black Coffee” will finally have a new vinyl edition. It will be available on purple 180-gram LP, limited to 500 copies and hand-numbered. A classic format for a modern classic hard rock album, which the collectors will not want to miss.

“Black Coffee” reissue is out today on LP (180gr purple vinyl, limited to 500 hand-numbered copies). It can be ordered here.

“Black Coffee” tracklist:

1. Time Is Over
2. Sweet Little Dreamer
3. Sucker For Your Love
4. Make Up Your Mind
5. Backseat Baby
6. Way To Long
7. Through The Door
8. Same Old Story
9. Wasted Nights
10. Where I Belong
11. See You Next Time

Ever since 2014, Junkyard has been across half the world. With more than 100 concerts played, over five million streams, and three records to this day, they’ve solidly planted their flag on the international rock scene, playing the big stages as the one in Sweden Rock Festival and doing the big tours with, for instance, Eclipse.

After the promising debut “Sin & Tonic” in 2027 and hitting success in 2018 with “Black Coffee”, the Danes were back in 2022 with new faces and new razor-sharp songs. the band is now ready with their next record “Electric Love”. “Electric Love” marked a newfound maturity in the group’s universe and made them ready for the high flights that would follow – bigger festivals, bigger tours, bigger numbers, and wider exposure. 

Before taking the next step forward – their biggest ever – Junkyard Drive now takes a deep breath, glances at the past, and reissues one of the stepstones in their career.

“Black Coffee” recording lineup:
Kristian Johansen – lead and backing vocals
Birk – lead guitar, backing vocals
Ben Høyer – rhythm guitar, backing vocals
Claus Munch – drums, percussions
Tim Meldal – bass, backing vocals
