About

Gypsy Pistoleros have burst onto the rock scene with their unique Flamenco Rumba Punk Rock n Roll Rock sound & style, one of the most exciting new bands around, wowing everyone that comes into contact with them.

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 Latin energy, a New York Dolls raw glam-punk spark and a surplus of prime G ‘n’ R attitude!

The sound is flamenco & rumba in a head-on collision with punk/rock riffs, pounding bass and thrashing drums. 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 refuse to leave – this unique hybrid rocks.

Gypsy Pistoleros unleashed their highly anticipated and already critically acclaimed new, full album ‘The Mescalito Vampires’ on Special Limited Edition Double 10″ (Dusk n Dawn) Moon coloured Vinyl’s & gatefold sleeve (Includes 2 extra tracks)

Gypsy Pistoleros are best described as being the ideal house band for the fictitious Titty Twister bar of Rodriguez’s From Dusk till Dawn.

Released on CD Digipak and special limited edition Double 10″ coloured Vinyl Is this Latin Rocks Appetite for Destruction? The Mescalito Vampires was recorded in Black Tree Recording Studios, Tardebigge, Worcestershire.

More about NATIONAL NAPALM SYNDICATE:

National Napalm Syndicate was formed in 1986. After few line-up changes and couple of demos later they found themselves signing a major label deal with EMI / Capitol Records.

The band was one of the very first speed/thrash metal acts to emerge from Finland. Their debut album “National Napalm Syndicate” was released in 1989.

Over the years National Napalm Syndicate have released a number of full albums and EPs, but now 2022 all the missing pieces of the puzzle were found and the band is a meaner than ever, a true killing machine ready to unleash the thrash metal storm upon the metal world.

The National Napalm Syndicate sound is a interesting combination of traditional heavy metal, NWOBHM, hardcore punk and old school thrash metal. As a bonus they have a very unique way of writing memorable choruses and addicting riffs. A truly original sound which only a country like Finland and a cold Finnish weather could have given a birth.

Stay tuned for the next chapter in thrash metal!

NATIONAL NAPALM SYNDICATE are:
Vesa Mänty – vocals (2020-)
Jukka Kyrö – guitar (1986-91, 2002-)
Ville Hanhisuanto – drums (2016-)
Harri Lampinen – guitar (2012-)

INDIGO RAVEN Release Stunning Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Cover of ‘Push The Sky Away’

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: INDIGO RAVEN. Leave a comment

Following their much acclaimed debut, Looking for Transcendence (2021, Argonauta Records), Toulouse-based doom metal trio INDIGO RAVEN has shared a stunning cover version of “Push The Sky Away” by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.

“This song has a very humble yet powerful vibration“, says vocalist Julie Docteur. “One of the most poetic and linear piece of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, last of the eponymous album, which was covered by few. We chose it for its message, to always grow higher, aim bigger, become true to oneself fingers point to heaven. It’s somehow a memorable anthem to never give up.”

Listen to INDIGO RAVEN’s version of “Push The Sky Away”, now streaming on all digital platforms HERE!

INDIGO RAVEN was formed in 2019. Shortly after self-releasing an EP just a year later, the trio signed a deal with Italian powerhouse label Argonauta Records, who released their critically acclaimed, first full-length album, Looking for Transcendence, in October 2021. The trio’s sound emerges from the Peaceville Three’s influence with a modern sludge approach. A simple but not unsophisticated instrumental foundation of the band, coloured by a shamanic sound and these occult, haunting vocals, make Looking for Transcendence a captivating yet heavy as hell record, which has been lauded by the international music press. Finally, on June 24, 2022, the band’s stellar debut will be available on Vinyl; pre-order your copy of this must-have doom opus HERE!

Norwegian underground legends PURIFIED IN BLOOD dropped some long-awaited new music back in April with their gut wrenching and explosive track MYRÅ. Today they are back with yet another earth-shattering colossus; KRATER.

Listen to KRATER here: https://orcd.co/krater

Teeth will grind and necks will snap, as KRATER demolish the listener into a thousand pieces, with a brute and invigorating force that keep you longing for more.

And there is more news from the North.

Purified in Blood are working on a long-awaited full-length album coming to you in the near future. If there still is one.

Purified in Blood’s aggressive and unique take on metal has ripped through the scene since 2003, influencing several of contemporary metal and punk acts.

Their raw and uncompromising sound, blending furious guitar riffs with driving rhythms and powerful and menacing vocals, paired with their assailing and dominant live shows, put them in class of their own. The result is fierce extreme metal, mixing the best of thrash, hard metal and death metal into their own unique sound.

The band was instantly renowned for their brutal live performances, which in course would send them on extensive tours worldwide with gigs in cities like Seattle and New Delhi and have had them play the same events as icons in Slayer, Mastodon, Gojira, Madball and Meshuggah.
