It has been like a colorful sunrise after a long night. We are now ready for our next step on our continent: The Europe Tour.

Watch the video, which was directed by Nick Chance, HERE.

Band comments:

“This is essentially the first song I have ever written to gloat about my backbone,” states ORTHODOX frontman Adam Easterling about “Head On A Spike”. “Orthodox as a band has been called ‘corny’ and been continually overlooked year in, year out. But we haven’t given up. This is a song to anyone who thinks we should’ve thrown in the towel, because we don’t feel like we’ve even peaked.”

RAVEN are that rare thing in music, true originals – cut these guys with a razor and they will BLEED true heavy metal – a more intense live band does not exist on this planet!

RAVEN released three of the most influential metal albums of the NWOBHM era (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) inspiring every band of that time and beyond. Without RAVEN you just would not have thrash/speed metal… after all, the band did give Metallica and Anthrax their first tours!

Next year RAVEN are set to hit the road once more where they will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of their iconic record ‘All for One’ and treating their fans by playing the album in full during each show. Joining RAVEN on their UK tour are US band Hellgrimm. In a cynical musical landscape these days, where bands are not “Gangs” but faceless corporations, RAVEN are a band that are REAL not FAKE – and proud of it!

Frontman John Gallagher enthuses “we cannot wait to get back to Blighty, crank the amps to eleven and visit our “ all for one” album in it’s entirety… 2 of the songs have never been played live so that’s gonna be fun! The band is on fire so we will be delivering the metal in spades!!!!!”

GINEVRA – Ft. Members of SEVENTH CRYSTAL, H.EA.T, PRIMAL FEAR – Release Debut Album “We Belong To The Stars” on September 16th, Reveal Single & Video ‘Unbreakable’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on July 5, 2022
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Frontiers Music Srl is proud to announce the upcoming debut album, “We Belong To The Stars”, from Sweden’s GINEVRA, a new group comprised of vocalist Kristian Fyhr (Seventh Crystal), guitarist Magnus Karlsson (The Ferrymen, Primal Fear), bassist Jimmy Jay (H.E.A.T.), and drummer Magnus Ulfstedt (ex-Eclipse, Nordic Union). The band’s debut single and music video, ‘Unbreakable’ is out today.

“We Belong To The Stars” is out September 16, 2022 on CD/LP/Digital. Pre-order/save HERE: https://orcd.co/ginevra

Ginevra came to be after Kristian Fyhr sent Serafino Perugino, Frontiers Records President, some songs he had written for consideration to be used on future Frontiers’ label projects. One particular song, ‘My Rock N’ Roll’ jumped out at Perugino and he asked Fyhr if he would be interested in fronting a new band that would craft an entire album in a musical direction illustrated in that song, which was substantially different from Fyhr’s main band Seventh Crystal. The final results brought Ginevra’s sound under the same big umbrella of excellent Nordic melodic hard rock like H.E.A.T, Eclipse, Crowne, and the like, but without necessarily sounding like those bands. Ginevra is hooky and melodic, but mostly heavier and more guitar/riff oriented than traditional melodic rock. Perugino thought that Magnus Karlsson, who contributed to the songwriting for the album as well, seemed the perfect fit to play guitar for Ginevra and when approached about participating, he was keen on the idea.

With a powerful vocalist like Fyhr and a monster guitarist like Magnus Karlsson, whose resume speaks for itself, a top notch rhythm section needed to join the fold. Jona Tee, whom Frontiers has worked with as a musician and/or producer on releases from New Horizon, Crowne, and Temple Balls, recommended his H.E.A.T. bandmate Jimmy Jay for the bass position and he was the perfect fit. For the drum stool, Magnus Ulfstedt, who has played with Eclipse, Nordic Union, and Jimi Jamison, was asked to join the band and complete this excellent Swedish foursome.

Kristian Fyhr first came to the label’s attention with Seventh Crystal, the other band he is lead vocalist for. Seventh Crystal’s 2021 debut album, “Delirium” was a real breath of fresh air in the melodic rock scene considering the band managed to acknowledge the traditions of the genre, while also bringing in modern hard rock elements. Fhyr has also contributed to the songwriting of recent albums from the label, including Giant’s “Shifting Time”. The pairing of Fhyr’s vocal and songwriting talents with Karlsson’s stunning guitar playing and songwriting has birthed something truly special and melodic hard rock fans can look forward to yet another gem from the ever fruitful Swedish hard rock scene.

“We Belong To The Stars” Tracklisting:

  1. Siren’s Calling
  2. Unbreakable
  3. Apologize
  4. Masquerade Feat. Chez Kane
  5. Break The Silence
  6. Brokenhearted
  7. We Belong To The Stars
  8. I’ll Be Around
  9. Falling To Pieces
  10. The Fight
  11. My Rock’n’roll
