BANGALORE CHOIR, the legendary early 90s band put together by vocalist David Reece issue a Double-CD set of alternate studio recordings, demos and unreleased tracks, all from the “On Target” era.

Long thought lost, these master tapes were uncovered late last year and offer a whole new look into the birth of one of the most loved and acclaimed cult classic albums of the genre.

Vocalist David Reece recounts;

We recorded most of these demos you’re hearing in the garage, but some were done at Stevie Nick’s personal studio as well as some at A&M studios. It’s quite a funny story as some of the tracks were recorded over tapes containing U2’s ‘The Joshua Tree’ demos – I definitely wish I still had those!

The remixes for ‘On Target’ were originally done at Skip Saylor and the Enterprise Studios and after years of wondering where these lost tracks were, I found them through an old friend. Giles Lavery of Global Rock Records said we need to release this material, so I contacted Riccardo Demarosi here in my village in Italy and he carefully remixed and mastered these lost gems.

I remain very proud of this history and am so very happy to give them life again.

This extremely limited edition is only available by mail order directly from Global Rock Records.

The band shared the mainstage with the likes of Metallica, KISS, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Mercyful Fate, Mastodon and took this opportunity to put on a massive production and captured the whole thing on film for the history books.

Now, BAEST  are happy to share a first taste from this legendary show.

Still electrified by their performance, BAEST find the following words: “Getting the opportunity to perform on the main stage Helviti at Denmarks greatest festival Copenhell, was monumental for us and quite unreal.

After earning a Swedish Grammis Award earlier this year for their critically acclaimed latest album Where the Gloom Becomes Sound (2021), TRIBULATION have now returned with a new standalone single and video: “Hamartia“.

A first recording to feature new guitarist Joseph Tholl, “Hamartia” was recorded with Robert Pehrsson, mixed by Tom Dalgety (who previously mixed Where the Gloom Becomes Sound), mastered by Magnus Lindberg and comes with artwork by TRIBULATION guitarist Adam Zaars.

“Hamartia” – which was directed by Johan Bååth & Astrid Bergdahl – can be viewed below.

TRIBULATION’s Adam Zaars commented about “Hamartia” as follows: “This is a song about the many shades of the word Hamartia. It’s an angry gothic tragedy sonically, and introduces Joseph on guitar. This is the first of a few. We hope you like it!“

After a successful run of festivals shows across Europe, North America and South America this summer, TRIBULATION will finally be back on the road starting last week, joining Watain, Abbath and Bölzer on the “Chariots of Fire” European Tour 2022. 

TRIBULATION’s latest, fifth full-length – Where the Gloom Becomes Sound – indisputably elevated the Swedes to the highest echelons and turned out to be their most expressive and inventive album to-date. ” We immersed ourselves in the world of myth and magic,” says guitarist and founding member Adam Zaars. “With a specific focus on elemental magic, and the elements, in general, from both the Western and Indian esoteric traditions, not the Buddhist four elements but the five elements. Myth and magic are obviously not something new in the world of Tribulation, but it got a bit more specific on this album. We just present it from a slightly different perspective.“

The next chapter in the epic journey of LORNA SHORE has arrived leading up to the release of “Pain Remains” that is due for a release October 14th: “Pain Remains I: Dancing Like Flames”.

The band comments on the upcoming Pain Trilogy:  “The Pain Trilogy is a three part tale focusing on the stages of grief and vulnerability and exemplifying it through a love story. The first song, “Pain Remains I: Dancing like Flames” begins with the main character becoming enamored by the person within his dreams. He decides to turn to this reality as a sense of purpose despite knowing that the closer he gets to his goal, the further it seems to drift away.”

Legendary New York metal masters JACK STARR’S BURNING STARR release their first ever career spanning anthology.

Three CDs in a deluxe digipak spanning the bands long career since 1984, encompassing the key studio albums, with additional rarities and live tracks from Jack’s personal archive. In addition to this, extensive liner notes and seldom seen photos make for an altogether compelling package.

This release will come hot on the heels of the brand new Burning Starr album “Souls Of The Innocent” which is already generating fantastic reviews worldwide. Their style has been described as “an essential blend of Judas Priest and Riot style melodic mid 80s traditional power metal.”

Jack Starr throughout his career has consistently performed and recorded with world-class musicians, cultivated a devoted fan base with his signature style and inspired musicians who have kept his legacy relevant in recent years via the symphonic and power metal movements.

In the mid-to-late ’80s his band Burning Starr became a cult sensation with releases like ‘Rock The American Way” (which Hit Parader magazine called “an album that rocks with both strength and precision) “Blaze Of Glory” and “No Turning Back” . The band also became a springboard for musicians who would go on to play with Danger Danger, White Lion, Yngwie Malmsteen, Quiet Riot and Widowmaker, among others.
