GYPSY PISTOLEROS Release Video for Single ‘I’ll Remember You’, New Album Out Tomorrow

GYPSY PISTOLEROS release the video for their fourth single ‘I’ll Remember you!’ on Thursday 2nd Nov, taken from the new album ‘Duende a Go Go Loco!‘, which is already receiving critical acclaim, out on Friday Nov 3rd 

‘I’ll Remember You!’ is a tale of tragedy & loss, where the living can’t let go of the dead. Can love and faith conquer all? Not when you sleep on the grave and disturb the woodland Spirits in this sacred place on all Hallows night! The nearest the Pistoleros ever get to a ballad, but this ballad kicks. 

New album ‘Duende A Go Go Loco!‘  is going to be hailed as the band’s masterpiece; an album that brings together all facets of this unique mongrel offspring of fiery flamenco passion and gritty gutter glam Punk. 

The Gypsy Pistoleros defy the rules, born roaming somewhere between Zaragoza and Worcester, brought into the world to a soundtrack stack-heeled anthems of sleazy ’70s Glam. The songs span madly in the best rock ‘n’ roll tradition with big hooks, attitude, and sleaze. Yet those flamenco breaks got into your head and refused to leave – this hybrid rocks. 

Tracklisting: 
1 Duende A Go Go Loco! 
2 I Got it all 
3 Revolution 
4 What’s it like to be a Girl? 
5 The Ballad of Tommy Shelby 
6 Like Tears in the Rain 
7 Thrill Kill Killer Club 
8  Maybe Tomorrow 
9 I’ll Remember You 
10 Come on Eileen 

The new album ‘Duende A Go Go Loco! has been recorded, mixed and produced by fast-rising legend Dave Draper (The Wildhearts, Nickelback, Kerbdog, Terrorvision, The Professionals) at The Old Cider Press Studios, Pershore.  

Live shows:
3rd November – Hard Rock Hell Festival 2023 Album Launch show
4th November – Hard Rock Hell Festival 2023 (Main Stage)
18th November – The Ainsdale Cricket Club, Southport
25th November – Dementia Aware Festival, HMV Coventry
3rd December – Planet Rockstock, Trecco Bay, Wales

2024
Saturday 9th March – HARD ROCK HELL AOR X FESTIVAL, Great Yarmouth

The Gypsy Pistoleros have always had a reputation for danger and played five Rocklahoma festivals 2007-11, in Oklahoma, USA , where they  appeared alongside Motley Crue, Guns n Roses, Poison, ZZ top, Twisted sister, Faster Pussycat, Vain, Papa Roach, Whitesnake, Skid Row, Black Label Society. Normally closing each night! 

They have toured extensively, playing with the likes of L.A. Guns, Faster Pussycat, Adler’s Appetite, UFO, Motorhead, Ratt, Dogs D’amour, Dirty Penny, Bang tango, Wrathchild, Vains Of Jenna, Twisted Sister, Poison, Vince Neil, Bang Tango, Skid Row, Slaughter, Faster Pussycat, Dokken and ZZ Top.

GYPSY PISTOLEROS have burst back onto the Rock scene, they have reinvented themselves, bringing Flamenco Punk Glam Rock n Roll to the masses. Their new album ‘Duende a Go Go Loco!’  captures an edgier, punkier and heavier side of Gypsy Pistoleros, whilst retaining the Flamenco Rumba heart and fully embracing their fiery flamenco/rumba passion, staying true to their distinctive crossover of punk rock ‘n’ roll leanings! “Gypsy Pistoleros may be best described as being the ideal house band for the fictitious Titty Twister bar of Rodriguez’s from Dusk Til Dawn. Between the nods to Morricone’s tense, tumbleweed atmospheres and the Gypsy Kings’ manic Mediterranean energy, a New York Dolls raw glam spark and a surplus of prime G ‘n’ R attitude!” – Planet Mosh 

“Gypsy Pistoleros are a thrill-a-minute collection of melodic eye-patch swagger that smells of exotic spices and forbidden concubines. The Gypsy Pistoleros sound like Hanoi Rocks, if Hanoi Rocks were sultans and snake charmers” – Sleaze grinder” – Classic Rock Magazine 

“This, actually, is as good as sleaze ever got in the last decade. Gypsy Pistoleros was, and still are, a breath of fresh air. You will never hear another band like this. They are the greatest flamenco punk glam band ever. And that’s just a fact. If you don’t believe me, listen to this.” – Maximum Volume Music 

GYPSY PISTOLEROS are “The World’s Greatest Flamenco Punk Glam Rock band Ever!”

JIM PETERIK & WORLD STAGE concept, rooted in the idea of musical and spiritual collaborations among artists and friends, has announced a new album, ‘Roots & Shoots Vol.1,’ out January 12th, 2024 on Frontiers Music Srl.

Jim about the album:

“’Roots & Shoots’ is my latest collection of new music by what I consider to be the most iconic artists from the classic rock of the 80’s (the Roots) paired with the most exciting new talents I’ve had the pleasure of discovering. I found the same timeless qualities in the Shoots represented on this album. They are all rising stars!”

The first single, “Dangerous Combination” is cowritten Kevin Cronin and Peterik. The track, which features Cronin backed by REO Speedwagon, is accompanied by a new music video.

Kevin comments on the track:

“Jim Peterik and I have been friends since I booked the original Ides of March to play my high school homecoming in 1968. Jimmie is the hardest working musician/songwriter ever, full of positive energy, and a songwriting machine. I dig how ‘Dangerous Combination’ came together and look forward to sharing it with the fans.”

Pre-Order ‘Roots & Shoots Vol.1’: https://orcd.co/jimpeterikworldstage

JIM PETERIK & WORLD STAGE has spawned a series of extremely well received albums beginning with their legendary self titled debut, featuring partnerships with rock luminaries such as Dennis DeYoung, Kevin Cronin, Johnny Van Zant, Don Barnes, Tom Keifer, and more.

In 2019, the concept reemerged on the ‘Winds of Change’ album, where JIM PETERIK teamed up with legends such as Kevin Chalfant, Dennis DeYoung, Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, Kelly Keagy, Mike Reno, Jason Scheff, and others. PETERIK subsequently dedicated an entire album female rockers, resulting in the remarkable ‘Tigress – Women Who Rock the World.’ This album showcased collaborations with outstanding singers and musicians like Jennifer Batten, Chloe Lowery, Rosa Laricchiuta, Chez Kane, and others.

These albums underscore JIM PETERIK’s immense talents, complemented by a roster of renowned singers and musicians. With the new Roots and Shoots album concept, the Chicago-based artist presents two superb albums equally divided between Roots (classic rock stars) and Shoots (emerging rock stars).

In addition to Kevin Cronin and REO Speedwagon, Vol. 1’s notable guests include: Kelly Keagy (Night Ranger), Don Barnes (.38 Special), Mark Farner (Grand Funk), alongside emerging talents like Colin Peterik (Jim’s son!), Ashton Brooke Gill, Paul Childers, Leslie Hunt, Mark Mackay, and a captivating duet between Dave Mikulskis and Lisa McClowry.

WORLD STAGE embodies JIM PETERIK’s outstanding musical legacy, a testament to his songwriting prowess as one of the true icons of melodic rock.

‘Roots & Shoots Vol.1’ Track List
1) Dangerous Combination (feat Kevin Cronin & REO Speedwagon)
2) Before Anyone Knows We’re Gone (feat Colin Peterik)
3) Last Dream Home (feat Don Barnes)
4) Forever’s the Last Place You Look (feat Paul Childers)
5) Mend Fences (feat Kelly Keagy)
6) As I Am (feat Ashton Brooke Gill)
7) Friends Forever (feat Jim Peterik and Mark Farner)
8) Suddenly (feat Leslie Hunt
9) I Found Me (feat Mark Mackay)
10) Fire and Water (feat Lisa McClowry and Mike Mikulskis)
11) Fire and Water (Acoustic Version) Bonus Track Japan

Throughout his career, JIM PETERIK has penned some of rock’s most unforgettable songs, including “Vehicle” by The Ides Of March (where he served as lead vocalist), hits such as “The Search Is Over,” “High On You,” “I Can’t Hold Back,” and classics for .38 Special like “Hold On Loosely,” “Caught Up In You,” “Fantasy Girl,” and “Rockin’ Into The Night.” Peterik also wrote the stellar and well loved song “Eye of the Tiger,” for which he garnered a Grammy win and Oscar nod. He’s also contributed to “Heavy Metal” with Sammy Hagar, among other projects.

Presently, PETERIK is a vital part of Pride of Lions alongside vocalist Toby Hitchcock, enjoying high esteem in the recording artist and songwriting community, not only on the Frontiers Music label, but within the broader melodic rock scene as well.

International Metal Project AMALGAMA have Premiered “In The Middle Of Nowhere” Video at BraveWords, Fourth Single from Back to the 80’s Album – Out Now.

“This song has a specific message, focusing on how simple it is to lose touch with reality and fall into the abyss of decadence when caught up in life’s illusions. On the other side, you realize how much you’ve missed out on in life. Don’t miss out on the brand new hard rock madness – follow us now!” – AMALGAMA

Amalgama (CZ/NL/UA) is an international metal project started by Vlad “Graf” Ivoilov, which was later joined by Timo Sommers and Joey Martin De Boer (both formerly of Dutch Symphonic Metal Band Delain). Roman Valeryev and Clown (official mascot and fifth member) round out the line-up. The band has released five studio albums as well as numerous singles.

Amalgama has played approximately 450 concerts in countries such as Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, and Ukraine. The band has also shared the stage with iconic bands like as Sonata Arctica, Judas Priest, Lordi, Blind Guardian, Dirk Schneider, Dragonforce, Grave Digger, Ross the Boss, W.A.S.P., Steel Panther, U.D.O., Airbourne, Hammerfall, Uriah Heep, Scorpions, and others.

Amalgama attracted audience attention and garnered great popularity after performing at the Czech festival Winter Masters of Rock. In the summer of 2022, Amalgama released the album Brothers in Rock, which featured tracks made in collaboration with U.D.O. guitarist Andrey Smirnov. This productive collaboration came after a successful tour with U.D.O. in 2018 as part of the “Steel Factory Tour.” The album Brothers In Rock launched the band into a new era of success. Its hits “Dark Knight” and “Lonely Voice” were the band’s defining tunes for a new audience, who soon embraced their style and became passionate fans.

In the same year, the band performed at several major European festivals, including Metal Fest, Masters Of Rock, and Rock Castle, and frequently shared the stage with Judas Priest on their

summer tour in 2022. To promote the album, Amalgama embarked on a European tour with the band Lordi, establishing their status in the European metal scene.

Fueled by their popularity and fan support, the band began work on a new album, Back to the 80s, which was released in September 2023. It was preceded by two singles: the eponymous “Back to the 80s” and the ballad “Save Me,” both of which had music videos.

AMALGAMA is:
Vlad “Graf” Ivoilov – vocals

THE MONARCH have released “When Death Finds You” Video, via Decibel, watch it HERE. A Moment to Lose Your Breath Album Drops November 17. Featuring Former Soulfly, Current Ill Niño/Static-X/ Fear Factory Members.

  • Performances shot and edited by Alex Zarek & Brian Olivo
  • Narrative directed and shot by Marco Martell
  • Lighting design and programing by Brian Olivo
  • Production assistance by Austin Armstrong
  • “When Death Finds You” storyline by Dave Kinkade & Marco Martell
  • Featuring Vjollca Kinkade & Victoria Kinkade

“This is a perspective of death…from deaths perspective if death were really a figure. Death knows all and is the only one true certain fact of life. All of us, no matter how good, bad, rich, poor…will all face death eventually. The element of fate is already deep inside of all of us. Death lives inside every living breathing being. It’s just a matter of how you live your life and how you choose to welcome death that determines when the element of fate will manifest itself. We shouldn’t fear death. Otherwise, life is just a waste as death is certain and final. In the video, “Death” is portrayed by the beauty. She is strong and all-knowing. “The innocent” meets and is welcomed into the arms of death. The current “element of fate” has served her time on the black horizon and now it is time to name a successor. This being of “Death” crowns “The Monarch” and is given her final task…a ride to the end, with wide open arms. “The Monarch” now helms life’s process. It’s all a metaphor and it’s your job as the listener to make it your own.” – THE MONARCH

About THE MONARCH:

Formed in 2003, The Monarch is the brainchild of drummer Dave Kinkade. Although not quite commonplace having a band crafted by a drummer, that is just one of the many qualities that makes The Monarch stand out when it comes to modern day heavy metal. Kinkade’s sonic vision derives from the combining of elements from inspirational bands like Metallica, Pantera, Dissection and Opeth, and has turned The Monarch sound into a progressive, melodic form of timeless heavy metal with an “always epic” approach. Every song needs to live in its own world. Starting with that perfect “hook” riff for the verse and giving it a monumental chorus that will burn its way into the humming minds of even the most casual of listeners.

Although drafted 20 years ago, the project was always placed on the back burner for Kinkade to focus on already established bands including Soulfly, Borknagar, Arsis, Council of the Fallen, Divine Empire and Malevolent Creation. In 2012, Kinkade took an 8-year hiatus from music after his tenure as the drummer for Soulfly during their Enslaved album era so he could focus on family and eventually have lower back surgery, which plagued him for the years leading up after a bicycling injury when he lived in The Netherland in 2007.

In 2020, he decided to come back to playing music and chose to make The Monarch, his musical priority. 2021 saw the release of debut album “All the World’s Pain”, a collection of material that Kinkade had been writing since the formation of the band. Soon after the first release, writing for a follow-up album began. It was decided to continue with musicians not only of the highest caliber, but guys who had been around the block and know what months on end of touring feels like. Granted there were some talented players on the first album, but you cannot expect a guy with a career as an EMT and a family to put his life on hold to go touring.

As the crafting of new material progressed, Kinkade’s former Soulfly bandmate, guitarist Marc Rizzo (Ill Niño, Soulfly) approached him about playing music together again. It was agreed that The Monarch would be the ideal collaborative project, as Rizzo‘s aggressive, yet soulful, guitar style would be the perfect complement to the band’s sound. Soon after, bassist Tony Campos (Static-X/ Fear Factory) was invited into the fold as Kinkade, Rizzo and Campos had all previously worked together in Soulfly. Campos provides a punishing low end and would prove to be another perfect fit for The Monarch sound. Guitarist Marco Martell also joined the band shortly before the studio sessions began. Martell and Kinkade played together in Malevolent Creation (2005-2006) and share many similar influences. Topping off the lineup would be vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Chris Clancy (Mutiny Within) who had previously been approached by Kinkade about singing in the early 2000’s. Clancy’s experience and exceptionally well-rehearsed talent was welcomed to the band, and he is proving himself as one of the best singers on the planet through his performance on the album. The album was mixed and mastered by legendary producer Chris Collier (KoRn/ Whitesnake/ Prong). Now in the end of 2023, the band intends on supporting the release of the album by planning the live debut for 2024.

The Monarch’s new album A Moment to Lose Your Breath will be released November 17, 2023.

The album was recorded by producer Vincent Ippolito (guitarist-Glacier) at Swift Road Studios in Arlington Heights Illinois and mixed & mastered by producer Chris Collier at CMC21 Productions in Las Vegas Nevada.

THE AMENTA Unleash New Video ‘Sono L’Antichristo’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on November 2, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: The Amenta. Leave a comment

On the night where all sinister cosmic energies merge to unleash horror, Australian extremists THE AMENTA fittingly revealed a video for their hymn to Satan – ‘Sono L’Antichristo‘.

‘Sono L’Antichristo‘ is a reworking of the DIAMANDA GALÁS composition. While the original version bewitches with brooding ambient and shocking noise, THE AMENTA build a cold, devastating Extreme Metal armor around obscure and hysterical chants – including blasting drums courtesy of David Haley (PSYCROPTIC).

THE AMENTA‘s keyboard player Timothy Pope narrates:

“DIAMANDA GALÁS is an artist who should need no introduction. Her voice is incomparable to any other and her work is sui generis. ‘Sono L’Antichristo‘ was originally on her incredible “Plague Mass” album which was the first album of hers I had heard. Not long after hearing this album, Erik and I found out that DIAMANDA GALÁS was playing in Sydney at the Opera House. We jumped in the car, desperate to see a live performance of this wild and soul-scouring work, but by the time we got there the show had started and the doors were locked. On the way to the bar to drown our sorrows, we passed the merch store which proudly displayed GALÁS‘ book “The Shit Of God” (later I found this to be a line from ‘Sono L’Antichristo‘) and we knew we had missed a life-changing performance. Later, at the bar, we would watch scores of well-dressed, well-to-do people, streaming from the exits at intermission, never to return. She had driven them out. On top of her more “avant-garde” work, DIAMANDA GALÁS is one of the greatest interpreters of classic song and it is in this spirit that she is, in some ways, the patron saint of the whole “Plague Of Locus” release. Our version of the song, and the film clip we now release, can be seen as not only a tribute to an artist who has greatly inspired us over the years, but also a glimpse into what we imagined was happening behind those closed Opera House doors. The fever dreams of two disappointed metalheads.“

“Plague Of Locus” is released on vinyl via the band and digitally via Debemur Morti Productions. Orders are possible via Direct Merch (vinyl) and via Bandcamp (digital).

THE AMENTA is ugly, dissonant, electronically-lacerated Extreme Metal from Australia, featuring the core creative line-up of Cain Cressall (Vocals), Erik Miehs (Guitars) and Timothy Pope (Keyboards, Samples & Effects) with Dan Quinlan (Bass) and drummer David Haley (PSYCROPTIC, ex-ABORTED) rounding out the lineup.

Early experiments with dissonance resulted in 2002’s “Mictlan” MCD. Two years later, the band had signed to Listenable Records who released the debut full length, “Occasus”. Next came 2008’s divisive “n0n” album. “n0n” was a dense, ugly, sprawling hymn to urban decay. A filthy paean to political manipulation. It was anti-everything.

Upon returning to Australia after extensive European and American touring THE AMENTA, recorded a free download of a huge multimedia release in 2011 entitled “V01D”. The release featured the new title track, re-recordings of tracks from the two previous albums, as well as professionally filmed and recorded live performances and film clips. The new song showcased one of many new directions THE AMENTA could take. Epic chords held in stasis by drones. Melody where before there had only been dissonance.

In 2013, THE AMENTA released “Flesh Is Heir”. The most organic and open of THE AMENTA’s releases to date, “Flesh Is Heir” built huge sculptures of sound from decayed choir loops and found percussion, the strongest riffs and guitar hooks in THE AMENTA back catalogue and an immaculate vocal performance.

After taking a hiatus from live performance in 2014, the band resumed activity in 2019. Inchoate rumblings slowly took shape. In 2020, THE AMENTA is excited to announce a partnership with Debemur Morti Productions, a label whose name is synonymous with art and with the most forward thinking bands in extreme music.
