The digital soundtrack can be streamed here: triumph.lnk.to/soundtrack

Directed by Banger Films’ Sam Dunn and Marc Ricciardelli, ‘Triumph: Rock & Roll Machine’ delivers on revisiting a band that sold millions of albums, played for millions of fans, and never put themselves above their audience.

“Triumph lays it all on the line in this endlessly fascinating documentary, in turn cementing their legacy as a tireless Canadian rock trio whose galvanizing magic power — as evidenced on both the live stage and within the grooves of their many brilliant albums — could simply not be contained. Triumph’s ongoing, lasting musical impact resides well beyond their native border.”
–Mike Mettler, Sound & Vision Magazine

“The Triumph story was compelling to me, Marc, and the Banger team because it was an opportunity to piece together a broken puzzle,” says Dunn. “We wanted to know how and why the band dissolved at the peak of their powers. It was quite the ride!” 

“Sam and Marc did an outstanding job documenting what it has been like to have been aboard the Triumph train for the past near-50 years,” raves Triumph bassist Mike Levine. “For fans old, new, and those to come in the future, this is all they’ll need to know about the band.” 

The Triumph line-up –  Rik Emmett,  Gil Moore, and Mike Levine – rocked the world, and in the process, gave us countless classic hard rock anthems (“Fight the Good Fight,” “Hold On,” “Magic Power,” “I Live for the Weekend,” “Lay It On the Line,” and of course, “Rock & Roll Machine,” and albums (Just a Game, Progressions of Power, Allied Forces, Never Surrender, Thunder Seven, etc.).

Originally formed in 1975 and hailing from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, the trio was always proud of their Great White North roots. And seemingly ever since their inception, Triumph was on the cutting edge of technology when it came to their live show – particularly lighting, sound, and effects.

Sophisticated lasers, pyrotechnics and moving lighting rigs, all computer-controlled – Triumph was one of the first arena rock bands to incorporate all of these elements into their shows. Triumph’s headlining tours were legendary, and the band was featured on many memorable stadium/outdoor shows – including the US Festival, the World Series of Rock, the American Rock Festival and Texxas Jam, Day on the Green, to name but a few.

“One of the best music documentaries I’ve ever seen, ‘Rock & Roll Machine’ is a superbly crafted documentary – an in-depth look at a band that makes me proud to be Canadian…a true TRIUMPH of a story!” — Jason Rockman, iHeart Radio / CHOM FM.

The film is produced by Banger Films in association with Revolver Films, Bell Media’s Crave, Live Nation Productions and NBC Universal Canada, along with the participation of the Rogers Documentary Fund and Slaight Communications Inc.

Norwegian KAMPFAR have released a picture video ‘Flammen fra Nord’, taken from their upcoming album “Til Klovers Takt”.

“A horse in the distance, rider atop in lavishly coloured garb, enters the valley. He calls himself a shepherd, a collector for the ones above.  

Singing to himself in a foreign tongue, the calm melody betrays the fire beneath his words. He is here to save and to be saved; he is the word, and the word is him.”

Flammen fra Nord tells this story through two voices, a story depicting the alchemic reaction that arises when the one true flame tries to replace nature’s ancient fire.

Releasing key albums that have both dominated and contributed to form the modern black metal scene as we know it today.

India’s ABOUT US Release First Single + Video ‘Right Now’ from Upcoming Debut Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on August 24, 2022
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: ABOUT US. Leave a comment

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the signing of ABOUT US, an exciting new melodic hard rock band hailing from Nagaland, India, and more specifically from a district in the state of Nagaland called Wokha (‘Land of Plenty’). Their Frontiers’ debut, a self-titled release, will be released later this year, but today fans can get their first taste of these exciting new melodic rockers with the single and music video ‘Right Now’.

Stream/Download ‘Right Now’ HERE: https://orcd.co/aboutusrightnow 

About Us first formed in the winter of 2019, with the members having spent the last 15 years or so in different bands and projects before coming together. Their collective musical taste runs the gamut from AOR, hard rock, metal, and more, with all of these varied influences reflected on their debut album. The band released their first single ‘Loaded Love‘ in late December 2020 followed in April 2021 by their first music video, “Gimme Gimme”. The music video reached almost half a million viewers in a short time and was heralded by the editor of a popular daily in their area, Morung Express, who declared “ROCK IS BACK”. The song subsequently won two back to back awards in the Best Rock category at the MG Nagaland Music Awards (June 23, 2021) and the Music Awards of Nagaland (October 16, 2021). Wrapping up a busy 2021 for About US, the band released their self-titled debut album in their home country and a second music video, ‘Right Now’.

The band eventually found their way to Frontiers Music Srl, who were deeply impressed with their innovative take on the melodic rock genre. Prepare for a huge breath of fresh air upon the scene when About Us’ self-titled debut album lands later this year with a proper global release.

LINE-UP:
Sochan Kikon – Vocals
Renlamo Lotha – Guitars
Pona Kikon – Guitars
Soren Kikon – Bass
Renbomo Yanthan – Keyboards

Women’s International Collaborative Metal Project CHAOS RISING to Release “The Singles” Double Album, Out October 14th

Posted by tarjavirmakari on August 24, 2022
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: CHAOS RISING. Leave a comment

“Our aim is to showcase women’s talents and fill the gaps in which women are underrepresented in metal. The ambitious model has so far resulted in twenty singles/video releases, spanning metal subgenres, and featuring thirty-five musicians from eighteen countries, including some of the biggest names in metal (eg. Britta Goertz – Critical Mess/Hiraes; Luana Dametto – Crypta/Nervosa; Silvia Pistolesi – Sudden Death).   For a long time people had been asking ‘When will the Chaos Rising album be out?’ and we finally decided to release this showcase of all our work so far. The Singles is a double album, with one brutal LP and one melodic LP – this makes it a completely unique concept that demonstrates the evolution of our sound and the richness of metal music. Thanks to a successful crowdfunding campaign, we have been able to produce a limited edition double CD digipack which will be available from our Bandcamp page, and the album will of course also be available digitally via all major channels.” – Chaos Rising

Formed in 2019 by French multi-instrumentalist Stéphanie Nolf (Unsafe, Syrinx), CHAOS RISING is a collaborative international metal music project composed of women from all over the world who play, create, and share new songs in different metal styles. In a collaborative and inclusive spirit, Chaos Rising welcomes, encourages, and invites every female artist interested in metal music to be involved in any kind of aspect of  CR music and project. Women are welcome to join by either playing, recording, designing album art, writing lyrics, working with album production or promotion.

“We publish a new song each month in different metal music styles: thrash, death, heavy, doom, symphonic, hard rock, hard core, brutal death, melodic metal… More than 40 artists already joined us. If you are interested in working with us, don’t hesitate to contact us and share our work !!” – Chaos Rising
