BOBAFLEX released a new single “I’ll Blow Your Dreams Into the Sky” to all major platforms last Friday. Today they released the official music video for it. The band announced a new show date of July 23rd at Newport Music Hall with South of Eden, The Lonely Ones and Lost Past Everest.

“I’ll Blow Your Dreams Into the Sky” can be streamed/downloaded at: https://linktr.ee/bobaflex

Born out of the ashes of record label bankruptcy and the loss of the rights to their name, Bobaflex found themselves lost at sea when they started their own label BFX Records for the release their first independent full album Hell In My Heart in 2011. The album spawned two charting singles and set the mold for Bobaflex’s fiercely independent way of life.

Since Hell In My Heart Bobaflex has begun to solidify themselves as the model for independence. They have released two further independent albums under their BFX label (Charlatan’s Web – 2013 and Anything That Moves – 2015). These two resulted in another 2 charting singles and multiple self produced music videos with one million or more views. Bobaflex released Eloquent Demons (2017), before going on an indefinite touring hiatus. After years of inactivity, Bobaflex released a surprise reunion single, “I’ll Blow Your Dreams into the Sky” (2022) and have have rare select reunion shows scheduled.

To clear up any confusion, The Lonely Ones are members of Bobaflex, minus Shaun and Jake. Both bands are releasing new music, but The Lonely Ones will continue to tour nonstop, while Bobaflex will only play a few select shows a year.

RETURN TO DARKNESS (ex Out Of Darkness) have released their new single + official music/lyric video ‘Pain’, taken from the band’s new album “Eternal”.

From the mid-eighties to the early nineties the NY/NJ area had a wealth of original bands playing heavy metal and thrash. Out Of Darkness was one of those bands. While never securing the coveted record deal, Out Of Darkness did have some success. Opening for bands such as Pantera, Danzig, Biohazard and Overkill, Out of Darkness gained a cult following in the tri-state area. Then life happened.
After thirty years the band still had what they considered unfinished business.

Vocalist Ron Roshong, bassist Sean Weiss, drummer Forrest Leighton, guitarists Greg Paravati and Jonny Rod had an “in”. Jonny Ciorciari ( “JROD” to some) has become a much sought-after engineer/producer since the band’s inception. “Every time we went into the recording studio it never came out the way we envisioned it. I knew at some point I would need to get it right”, stated Ciorciari.

The band changed their name to RETURN TO DARKNESS and have got it “right” this time. Blistering production, killer vocals, great riffs and a tight rhythm section are immediately apparent with the release of their single ‘Pain’. Great production and a big budget looking video produced by Craig Cefola can be viewed below.

RETURN TO DARKNESS are:
Jonny Rod – GUITAR
Greg Paravati – GUITAR
Ron Roshong – VOCALS
Sean Weiss – BASS
Forrest Leighton – DRUMS

Much more is around the corner for Return To Darkness. For more information: https://www.facebook.com/ReturnToDarkness

THE MAGIK WAY Release “Van Helsing (MMXXII)” 25th Anniversary Edition

It was July 17, 1997 when a young band wrote the soundtrack for a theatrical show with the evocative title of “DRACULA” directed by Hermes Beltrame which took place at the Pomaro Monferrato Castle in Alessandria. The band here emitted the first sounds for what would become THE MAGIK WAY‘s first creation called “Dracula”.

Today, July 17, 2022, exactly 25 years after that date, THE MAGIK WAY open the doors of oblivion to that opera and they do so with a very simple and direct excerpt from an episode of the opera entitled “Van Helsing” in its renewed version to celebrate the 25th anniversary.

This is just a taste of what will certainly be one of the most anticipated works of the Italian underground of this 2022.

Limited edition box and digipak CD are respectively available on https://smarturl.it/DRACULA-BOX and on https://smarturl.it/DRACULA-CD

Here is what Nequam told us in presenting this project: “The idea of ​​publishing our 1997 “Dracula” comes from the desire to fill a void. We wanted to immortalize our first theatrical effort, the first episode that saw us crossing the boundaries of music, in a format and with a graphic presentation that could satisfy us. In recent years we have received some really valid offers but, at the end, it will be My Kingdom Music to produce and support this release. We started from the original tapes, recorded with a 4 Tascam tracks and we “dusted” them, keeping in fact the scent of that time. It was an incredible journey to relive those notes, so immature and true. What you will hear will be the sound of THE MAGIK WAY as it appeared in those years”.

Let the ritual begin!

The recording of the song was done in Mumbai but it was mixed and mastered in Nashville by Anthony Fox,” says Daniel.

“Being able to write lyrics, and songs that lend themselves to real life situations has always been my preference. So watching the music video take shape and capture this makes me and the team extremely proud” he continues.

The video was directed by James Thomas and produced by Alice Thomas with Matthias Schubert as Director of Photography.

Daniel Weber is an American actor, producer, composer , singer and guitarist turned tech entrepreneur. Besides heading his company, Suncity Media And Entertainment Pvt. Ltd, Weber’s music has been on the forefront for many years.
