Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: GYPSY PISTOLEROS. Leave a comment

The swashbuckling renegade flamenco rock rumba punk ‘n’ roll pioneers GYPSY PISTOLEROS will release a brand new single The Good, The Mad & The Beautiful in October 2022. Recorded, mixed and produced by fast-rising legend Dave Draper (The Wildhearts, Kerbdog, Terrorvision, The Professionals) at The Old Cider Press Studios, Pershore. Draper is also set to record the new album Duende a Go Go Go! in November 2022.

The new material promises to be edgier, punkier and heavier side of Gypsy Pistoleros, whilst retaining the Flamenco Rumba heart and fully embracing their fiery flamenco/rumba passion, with their distinctive  crossover of punk rock ‘n’ roll leanings!

Gypsy Pistoleros have now moved onto the main Off Yer Rocka roster with the next releases exclusively to this branch of the lavel. The new single will be released in October 2022 on CD & Vinyl.

They embark upon a U.K headline The Good, The Mad & The Beautiful 2022 Tour in October 2022 to accompany the single release, they have also been added to the Hard Rock Hell Festival bill on November 3rd & 4th performing on the main stage alongside Skid Row, The Darkness & Ugly Kid Joe.

“Saddle up Commancheros, we ride!”

“This, actually, is as good as sleaze ever got in the last decade. Gypsy Pistoleros were, and still are, a breath of fresh air. You will never hear another band like this. They are the greatest flamenco sleaze glam band ever. And that’s just a fact. If you don’t believe me, listen to this.” – MAXIMUM VOLUME MUSIC

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.  Between the nods to Morricone’s tense, tumbleweed atmospheres and the Gypsy Kings’ manic Mediterranean energy, a New York Dolls raw glam spark, and a surplus of prime G ‘n’ R attitude, the Pistoleros‘ sonic style is captured to the full with the release of the album they always threatened!

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.

“The Pistoleros are a band who live up to their own hype, as they tick all of the boxes they attribute to themselves, and then some, with some of the most infectious, sleaziest, dirtiest, rock ‘n’ roll vibes around, all mixed with enough dust to bury a spaghetti western set several times over.” – UBER ROCK

The Mescalito Vampires Track List:
Lost in a Town called Nowhere
Viva la Revolution, Viva Zapata
Mescalito Vampires (Welcome to the Hotel de la Muerta)
Soho Daze, just another Friday Night

Here’s what the legendary Mantas from Venom Inc. had to say about SURVIVE’s live potential:

“I had the pleasure and honor of touring Europe with Survive and they proved themselves to be a valuable asset to the touring package. I can say without hesitation or reservations that they were most definitely my favorite band on the tour. Incredibly nice and gracious guys who obviously loved their music and delivered every single night.
I gave them the nickname ‘The Japanese Machine Head’ a song that they played at every sound check became the tour anthem because of its wonderful chorus structure. Melody, hook lines and brutally heavy guitar riffs define this amazing band who deserve global recognition. Maximum Respect from Jeff (Mantas)”

Tokyo’s Thrash Heroes SURVIVE – active in the world for over 20 years – have forged their own indelible path within the jmetal scene. It was back in 1998, when former Death File guitarist and mastermind Nemo decided to form a thrash metal band of his own which soon became the juggernaut known as SURVIVE. Over the next two decades the band have played many big festivals (Loud Park, Beast Fest, Multiplex-motorbike event, Korean Live Rock, Formoz Festival, Asia Metal Festival, Dongducheon Rock Festival, Trendkill Extreme Feast, etc) and toured all over the world with acts such as Behemoth, United, Killswitch Engage, Dope, Pulling Teeth, Testament, Outrage, Anthrax, Hatebreed, Napalm Death, Amon Amarth, Venom Inc, At The Gates, to name just a few, cementing their place in Japanese metal history. Still going strong, SURVIVE‘s latest album “Immortal Warriors” was released to the Japanese market on September 12th, 2018 and a year later, on September 24th 2019, the album is out worldwide via Sliptrick Records. SURVIVE are set to release their first live album “Live At Death Valley” on May 4th 2022 in conspiracy with Pest Records. SURVIVE have lost none of their verve and “Immortal Warriors” is an absolute must for fans.

Symphonic death metal maestros SEPTICFLESH have revealed a striking lyric video, accompanying their magnificent new single ‘A Desert Throne’. Depicting a desolate, desert wasteland, completely void of humanity as we know it – one hopes that the end of times are a farfetched, distant future…

Watch ‘A Desert Throne’ lyric video:

SEPTICFLESH‘s forthcoming studio record ‘Modern Primitive’ will be released on 20th May 2022. Pre-order it via various formats and stream the new single now at: https://septicflesh.bfan.link/a-desert-throne.ema

The band commented:
“This is a more epic song with dominant dramatic melodies. Will mankind be leaving behind a barren Earth as its legacy? A desert planet like Mars? For the visualization of the song, a small animation sequence was created by Cloud Factory and was “dressed” appropriately with the lyrics of the song. Enjoy!”

“MODERN PRIMITIVE” TRACK LISTING:
1. The Collector
2. Hierophant 
3. Self-Eater 
4. Neuromancer 
5. Coming Storm

Italian rock blues explorers HANGARVAIN are back with the single ‘The Sinner’, released today, April 22nd, featuring the precious cooperation behind the mix desk of the well known US-based producer Fabrizio Grossi (Supersonic Blues Machine, Glenn Hughes, Zakk Wylde) and mastered in Los Angeles by veteran engineer Peter Doell (Toto, Marilyn Manson, Miles Davis).

TRIUMPH Feature Documentary ‘Rock & Roll Machine’: Exclusive Global Premiere Announced

Posted by tarjavirmakari on April 22, 2022
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Rock & Roll Machine, TRIUMPH. Leave a comment

Nugs.net, the leading music platform for live concert streams and recordings, have partnered with Round Hill Music for the global premiere of the feature documentary, Triumph: Rock & Roll Machine.

Fans can tune in for the premiere event on Friday, May 13th at 8:30 P.M Eastern Time, which will kick off with an exclusive, moderated Q&A with all three members of Triumph – Rik Emmett, Gil Moore, and Mike Levine. 

Tickets for the global streaming event can be purchased starting today for $19.95, exclusively at nugs.net/triumph. Streaming is available worldwide,with the exception of Canada.

Fans submitting questions for the Q&A can be sent to: https://www.facebook.com/TriumphTheBand

Get tickets to watch the live premiere or stream it on demand at nugs.net/triumph. Tickets will be available available through Sunday, May 15th at Midnight Eastern Time.

“We are thrilled to bring this exclusive streaming premiere to fans outside of Canada for the first time,” says nugs.net co-founder, Jon Michael Richter. 

“As a consumer and marketer, I love what nugs.net does and how many real music fans they regularly engage.” says Brian Hay from Round Hill Music.

The trailer to documentary can be viewed here:

To pre save the digital soundtrack out Friday, April 29th, 2022 here: triumph.lnk.to/soundtrack

Triumph: Rock & Roll Machine, produced by Banger Films (Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, Rush and ZZ Top), delivers on revisiting a band that sold millions of albums, played for millions of fans, and never put themselves above their audience. 

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

“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

“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, Texxas Jam, and Day on the Green, to name 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
