CLASSLESS ACT Unleash Debut Album “Welcome To The Show”, Premiere New Single ‘All That We Are’, Currently Touring with Def Leppard + Mötley Crüe

Today CLASSLESS ACT, one of the most buzzed-about up-and-coming rock bands, are releasing their much-anticipated debut album, Welcome To The Show via Better Noise Music. Having already earned more than one million streams, the new album gained early traction with three previously released singles, including the self-titled “Classless Act” that features a guest appearance by Mötley Crüe’s Vince Neil, the catchy “This Is For You” with Justin Hawkins of The Darkness, and the bombastic “Time To Bleed.”

“Just like the song says, we gave you all our blood, our sweat, our tears, our hate, our sex, our deepest, darkest fears. This is for you!” said frontman Derek Day about the album.

Also premiering today is the new single and music video, “All That We Are,” the final installment in the four-part, interlocking video series that loosely follows the band as they set the soundtrack for the misadventures of Farley, an unlucky soul in the wrong place at the wrong time. You can watch the music video HERE.

“All that we are – is it enough for us to survive?” asks Day. “This is a question, a concept we found ourselves asking after all we have been through over the past two years. Hell, the past seven or so years. We’ve been in a wee bit of a less-than-sunny time in our history. So what are we gonna do? Grow or go! Everyone needs to decide. We’ve got a show tonight, so I know what we’re doing!” 

Classless Act is poised to find a whole new legion of fans, first with their single “Classless Act” appearing on the soundtrack for THE RETALIATORS film, out this fall, and as they continue in their opening spot on this summer’s 36-date North American Stadium Tour, performing alongside Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett. The tour kicked off June 16 in Atlanta and runs through September 9 in Las Vegas.

“They’re going to be right at home on this tour,” said Loudwire’s Toni Gonzalez. “They are straight up, fun rock ‘n’ roll, high energy, a little dirty and very reminiscent of when rock reigned supreme.”

Classless Act’s previous tour alongside Dorothy ushered in a slew of positive reviews, with Front Row Perspective writing, “Every now and again you run across a band which you can immediately categorize as ‘I saw them when’ for future conversations. Classless Act is one of those bands!” Or Official Indie who heralded, “Classless Act hit the stage at 100 miles per hour…Watching the high energy act on stage made me think of what it must have been like to have seen Guns N Roses when they first started.”

It’s not often that a band comes around like Classless Act, the L.A.-based quintet who many are forecasting will be the new guard of rock ‘n’ roll, tempting a new generation of fans and giving rock’s faithful a reason to keep believing. They’ve been applauded by bands like Jane’s Addiction and Mötley Crüe, given nods from execs with Live Nation and MTV and are already finding their footing in major international markets barely a year after releasing their first single.

While the music tells its own story, so do the members of the band themselves, hailing from all over the globe, including Hawaii, Los Angeles, Argentina and Dallas. The band, featuring Derek Day (vocals), Dane Pieper (guitar), Griffin Tucker (guitar), Franco Gravante (bass), and Chuck McKissock (drums), first formed in 2018 when the five former strangers met via social media. 

The band has also garnered the attention of rock bibles like Loudwire, SPIN, Metal Hammer and Blabbermouth, the latter who said Classless Act “stands ready to carve out a legacy of its own.”

LANINIA Release New Lyric Video ‘Exterminate’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 24, 2022
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: LaNinia. Leave a comment

Polish heavy metallers LaNinia have released a new lyric video ‘Exterminate’, taken from their second full-length album “Tyrant” which was released in late 2021. Watch the lyric video below.

LaNinia was formed in 2018 by two friends, Daniel Ludwiczak (guitar) and Janusz Duź (guitar). Their music is inspired by bands such as Sepultura, Vader, Biohazard and Acid Drinkers. Debut album entitled “Loneliness” (2018) is a reference to the passing of time, interpersonal interactions and what the world around us is today. It’s the album that goes back to the 90s, but it does not avoid modern sounds. New material entitled “Tyrant” consists of 11 compositions bearing a common denominator-tyranny, which is the main theme of the album. As the band explain: „In today’s difficult and uncertain times, we wanted to look at this phenomenon at a wider angle and present it from different perspectives.” The album fully shows the multidimensionality of the band and what it has to offer to both Polish and English speaking listeners. English lyrics, melodic vocals and guitar groove are the most characteristic features of LaNinia. Invited guests musicians not only showed up for the recording sessions, but also took active part in the creation of the music right from the beginning and left a significant mark on the final sound of the compositions. The album includes a cover version of „Mandatory Suicide” by Slayer. „Our version of this track features Piotr Luczyk as a guest. He is a musical personality that had a big impact on the development of the Polish metal scene and made this cover even more special!”

Tracklist:

  1. Confession
  2. Down With The Wicked
  3. Not My Sin
  4. My Tyrant
  5. Mandatory Suicide (Slayer cover)
  6. Eclipse Of Humanity
  7. Fight Back
  8. Malum In Se
  9. Exterminate
  10. The Dark Times Roll
  11. Petrichor

Line-up
Mateusz Popis – vocal
Daniel Ludwiczak – guitars
Janusz Duź – guitars
Sergiusz Paszkiewicz – bass guitar
Karol Wiśniewski – drums

Rock Opera OLTRE L’ABISSO Release Second Single ‘Makena’

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: OLTRE L’ABISSO. Leave a comment

Wanikiya Record is pleased to present “MAKENA”, second single from the rock opera project OLTRE L’ABISSO anticipating their upcoming album to be released soon!

The single is available on all the best international stores in digital version, and also on the label’s official stores:

  • https://wanikiyarecord.wixsite.com/wanikiyarecord/rock-metal-1
  • https://japanshopwanikiya.wixsite.com/japanshop

Beyond the Abyss” is a prog-rock work composed by Perry Magnani and M° Elisabetta Tagliati, based on Elisabetta’s dreamlike novel of the same name published by Pluriversum Editions.
The plot tells of a legend with deep spiritual implications, set in the magical Italian Apennines. Bethel, a Celtic chieftain, receives a series of mysterious visions that lead her to an encounter with the druid Vessagh. Their mutual acquaintance quickly turns into transcendental love, allowing them to reach the source of the supreme Self.

The song “Makena” is found at the beginning of the Rock Opera, where the two female characters (Bethel and Luned) confront each other while talking about the valiant chieftain Makena. Bethel, Makena’s companion, is the ruler of this small Celtic Clan, while Luned is a dear friend who is very attached to tradition. The song has a distinct acoustic folk sound, enriched by the presence of flutes that enhances and characterizes the female component of the song. The melody, rhythmic with processional suggestion, highlights the dignity and elegance of the characters.

The rock opera is in the Italian language and played completely live, either acoustic (with piano or piano and guitar) or electric (with a full rock band). The three characters are characterized by three different vocalities (lyrical, rock and soul), approached from numerous musical genres (folk, pop, blues, soul, rock, metal, classical, psychedelic, soundtrack) that flow smoothly with each other and are summarized by the prog rock sound.

The show consists of 25 songs for the duration of about 2 hours, which can also be performed as a concert or musical reading. In 2019, the show debuted in stage form in the Rocca di Montefiorino (MO).

Tango Meets Metal – ERICK AVILA Release New Single ‘Hoy Bailo Un Tango Gris’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 24, 2022
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: ERICK AVILA. Leave a comment

One of Chile’s best-known metal guitarists in Finland, ERICK AVILA – Cold Scandinavian Metal meets hot Latin American rhythms in a new original tango single ‘Hoy Bailo Un Tango Gris’.

Listen to the song on music services.

Erick Avila – Hoy Bailo Un Tango Gris

  • Music & lyrics by Erick Avila
  • Arrangements by Erick Avila, Tuomas Riihimäki, Aki Kontiokangas, Elias Koljonen
  • Recorded by Jori Saloranta, Tuomas Riihimäki and Erick Avila
  • Mixed by Javier Bassino
  • Mastered by Mika Jussila, Finnvox
  • Distributed by Playground Music Scandinavia

Erick Avila moved to Finland two years ago for the love of the local music scene and he is now building his new career there. Erick Avila is one of the best-known metal guitarists in Chile. He is also a composer, producer and for a long time he has been the leader of a Chilean metal band Six Magics.

Avila found a band bearing his own name with three Finnish musicians. The group is doing now something no one has ever done before – combining metal and the hot rhythms of Latin America such as the Chilean cueca, Brazilian bossanova and Cuban salsa.

Last year Erick Avila band released their first single ‘Songo‘, an energetic song that combines salsa and metal. Now the band presents a new Metal-Tango ‘Hoy Bailo un Tango Gris’. The passion of the tango meets the Nordic metal in this new way to make a Tango.

Avila’s former band Six Magics has toured also in Europe in addition to Latin America. They have headlined concerts for thousands of people and supported bands like Nightwish and Tarja Turunen. Avila has a vast fan base in Chile for over 20 years of career and he has been an inspiration source for many guitarists in the area.

Now the new band has gained great reception by Chilean and Finnish audience due to the cross cultural videos they published in social media showing how the project and music were born so far away from Chile and how the band leader, Avila himself blended into the Finnish culture.

Erick Avila – The band:
Erick Avila – guitar, vocals
Tuomas Riihimäki – keyboards
Aki Kontiokangas – bass
Elias Koljonen – drums

P.O.D. Reissue “When Angels & Serpents Dance” with Three Bonus Tracks

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 24, 2022
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: P.O.D.. Leave a comment

P.O.D. announce the release of “When Angels & Serpents Dance” on October 14th via Mascot Records /Mascot Label Group, re-mixed and re-mastered plus with three bonus tracks not on the original master. Furthermore the band has released an official music video for ‘Addicted’, watch it below. Album pre-order live at https://lnk.to/POD-AngelsSerpents.

When asked about the lead track shared “Addicted,” Singer Sonny Sandoval offers, “We all have friends or family going through something. Without trying to just be so obvious, it is. Sometimes that stuff is out of your control. Once you get to that place in life, it really does ruin your life and take over. But again, how much of it is your choice and how much of it is really just being caught up? A lot of it is about my brother-in-law actually. He is homeless and kind of made that choice that he didn’t want to be a part of society. Like it was easier to just be on his own and do what he wanted to do and have no responsibilities. He struggles with substance abuse. It really stemmed from that. It’s never really always about one person. Whatever the topic is. I’m sure you know someone who is stuck in the same thing. It happened to be about a lot of stuff. I grew up around addiction and people that either died from addiction or it ruined their life because of it.”  Guitarist Marcos Curiel adds, “As humans, we all have our demons and addictions, whether it is drugs, alcohol, or otherwise.  We could be addicted to social media, or you could be addicted to a negative person, and have a negative outlook.  So for me it just reminds me that you can’t take life for granted and addiction is a real thing.  I think a lot of it comes from mental health and it is a big deal man.  You see people struggling mentally man, and I think a lot of people try to numb it so they find other ways to numb themselves and they get addicted.”

Looking back at the time singer Sonny Sandoval shares, “It was special because that’s when Marcos came back to the band. We did two records without Marcos, our guitar player, so this was just getting back together and putting aside whatever we had that caused this. This record has all of the elements of us, but it’s actually darker than it sounds in a lot of ways. It’s not one of our heaviest records, but there are a lot of musical elements in this one. I feel like we were just free to be us when Marcos got back in the band. We just had fun and really enjoyed making a record and dong it together as this united brotherhood. It was special to be able to do a record again with Marcos.” He continues, “Right after this record, we actually stopped doing music for about four years. I was going through some personal stuff and needed to take time off. We didn’t know if we were gonna do anything again. But we are happy that we got back together.”
 
Guitarist Marcos Curiel offers, “So, I was not in the band for two albums, and this was our first record back.  I basically had something to prove as a songwriter and guitarist. I was like you know what man, I’m back.  I’m one of the OG members with my brothers here we got something to prove. As a songwriter, I was like trying to write something with what was going on with our peers you know what I mean. So, I think that’s what makes this special for me. Personally, I think the overall sound we were flirting with a lot of different elements, and with pop dude, and then you could hear all the different elements on the record.  I am very proud of it actually.  Just stoked for it to be coming out. Because it is a record I think people need to hear.  It is more relevant than it seems the nature of what Sonny is singing about today. Maybe more so than it was then, as the nature of the song topics and all that.”
