BONNIE TYLER has announced the release of her brand-new studio album “The Best Is Yet To Come”, out on February 26th, 2021 on earMUSIC. Fans will get a full first taste of the forthcoming album next Friday, December 18th, when the first song “When The Lights Go Down” will be available for streaming and download.

For anyone who cannot wait, a beautiful 3-Track-Medley is already up on YouTube right now:

If you think of the decade that represents the craziest hairstyles, the boldest outfits and the most iconic music videos, then you think of the 1980s. This decade created so many different genres and developed wild new styles. In this creative environment Bonnie Tyler made her biggest worldwide breakthrough. Her new album “The Best Is Yet To Come” picks up exactly where her classic songs like „Holding Out For A Hero” and „Total Eclipse Of The Heart” left off.

The first lady of pop/rock, Bonnie Tyler, has had a remarkable career spanning 5 decades. She made music history with her instantly recognizable voice. Bonnie’s unique talent delivered those era-defining mega hits and until now she has sold over 100 million records. The release of her new album will be preceded by the first single “When The Lights Go Down” on 18 December 2020. “The Best is Yet To Come” consists of twelve brand new tracks, and is the follow up to her successful studio album “Between The Earth And The Stars”.

“The Best Is Yet To Come” presents Bonnie’s “up to date” sound that still evokes the passion, energy and the fun of those glory years. Again, working with long-time producer David Mackay, this new album stands proudly amongst anything she has done in the past. Her last album “Between The Earth and The Stars” reflected her serious star power, boasting contributions from Rod Stewart, Barry Gibb of The Bee Gees, Cliff Richard and Francis Rossi of Status Quo. It charted her highest across Europe in over 30 years. Now on “The Best Is Yet To Come” she proves that she doesn’t need guests to perfect a stunning album.

Bonnie explains: “I have been anxious to sing for you all for the past 10 long and scary months. I realize some of you have suffered from the virus and loss of family and friends and my heart aches for you. Music can lighten our load and is always my personal retreat. I hope these new songs will lift your spirits. I am so happy and proud of this new album. It simply rocks and brings a smile to my face every time I put it on. The moment we can get back on stage and see your smiling faces will be extra special. I promise the best IS yet to come.”

The title of the album “The Best Is Yet To Come” says that there is no stopping the effervescent Bonnie Tyler. She is back, better than ever and with this energetic, empowering and joyful collection she’s ready to shake off the blues of 2020 and get the party started!

“The Best Is Yet To Come” will be available on CD and digital on February 26th 2021 on earMUSIC.

On March 12th, 2021, BLACKMORE’S NIGHT will release “Nature’s Light”, their eleventh studio album and the first in six years.

The band, founded 1997 by award-winning vocalist Candice Night and legendary guitar icon Ritchie Blackmore, have reveal the first single and music video ‘Once Upon December’, a remarkable song and foretaste of the highly anticipated new album.

‘Once Upon December’ is available for immediate Streaming and Download:  https://blackmoresnight.lnk.to/OnceUponDecember

Watch the video here:

The ten new tracks make for a remarkable new record – one that could only have been written by Candice Night and Ritchie Blackmore. Once again, the duo is successfully mixing the tradition of Folk music and the love for the Renaissance era with their style, inspired by the myths and legends of ancient times.

“The story of “Nature’s Light” is the story of nature being the true queen and the simplicity and magic of everyday miracles that happen right before your eyes”, says Candice Night. “If you feel stagnant or repressed in your surroundings, it is important to take a break from the mundane and go where your heart leads you. It allows you to recharge and begin again with fresh and renewed energy. For some it is the ocean, for some the woods, for some feeling the sun on your face. Our music is an escape from the stress and pressure of modern times. Journey back through time with us, to a simpler, magical time where music enters your heart and soul.”

Transcend time with Blackmore’s Night to a world with no stress, just the beauty of nature, and fairy tales, sunsets and moonlit skies. Welcome to the Blackmore’s Night family. Immerse yourself in their ethereal music.

While the album is rooted in a traditional approach, fans of Ritchie Blackmore’s unique style will once again not be disappointed. Heartfelt ballads such as a brand-new version of ‘Wish You Were Here’ set the scene for magical tales on ‘Four Winds’ and ‘The Twisted Oak’. For the two instrumental tracks – ‘Darker Shade Of Black’ and ‘Der letzte Musketier’ – Ritchie shows that his brilliance on the guitar is still magic as it always was.

On March 12th,2021, the band’s new studio album “Nature’s Light” will be released on multiple formats on earMUSIC. Among these is a Strictly Limited 2CD Hardcover Mediabook Edition including a bonus CD featuring a carefully selected set of Blackmore’s Night’s masterpieces from their extensive back catalogue. Furthermore, the album will become available as a CD Digipak Edition, a Strictly Limited Heavyweight 1LP Gatefold Edition on Yellow Vinyl, a 180g 1LP Gatefold Edition on Black Vinyl as well as Digital.

The release of HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY‘s new album “Mӕre” is getting closer and while a truly desolate year is drawing to a close, the Austrian pioneers of post black metal seize the moment to return with another gloomy work of art.

With ‘And Oceans Between Us’, they present a surprisingly catchy single off their upcoming fifth studio album – “Mӕre” will see the light of day on January 29th (February 19th in the US) and is about to unveil 84 minutes of melancholic post rock, crippling depression and black metal. 

Singer J.J. comments on the new song: “Sometimes you meet a person you believe to be your soulmate, a person that can cure all the pains of previous heartbreaks. You think: ‘This is the person that will save me from this cold and lonely world’, just when starting to realise after some times, this person became the ailment as well and her words became poison.”

Listen to ‘And Oceans Between Us’ here:

“Mӕre” is available for pre-order as 2-CD-mediabook, double LP in gatefold and limited boxsets (both CD and vinyl):

Back with a vengeance and hell-bent on destruction, Norwegian death metallers, CADAVER, are back in business and ready to reign. Two weeks ago, Edder & Bile, the first full length from this band’s new incarnation of Anders Odden’s original, extreme metal vision, was unleashed unto the world via Nuclear Blast Records. Today, the band release the guitar playthrough for the single “Let Me Burn” which can be seen here:

Watch the lyric video for “Let Me Burn” here: https://youtu.be/dnGEGbn-qvc

“‘Let Me Burn’ came to me at night, after one of our intense studio days in January 2019.” comments Anders Odden.“I just got the opening riff and it led me out on this path that became the song. It was raining in North Hollywood that night and the whole feel of doom and gloom was shining through. I had with me a recording of my fireplace in Norway and knew this would make an awesome ending to the album. The song is about how we all will end up as ashes no matter who we are and what we do. It’s a nihilistic theme that means even more to me now after facing death with my cancer battle. When I was close to dying this winter, I always thought of having this song played super loud at my funeral with all the people having to read the lyrics during the ceremony. As I am not quite dead yet. I use it to tell you I cheated death, for now. Let Me Burn. I have no fear!”

Edder & Bile was produced by the band as well as Adair Daufembach who also handled the engineering. The album was recorded and mixed at Northwood Sound Studios in Hollywood, CA. The album features vocal cameos from death metal icons Kam Lee (MASSACRE) and Jeff Becerra (POSSESSED) ensuring that this crushing rebirth has underground credentials to spare. The photo for the artwork was taken by Hannah Verbeuren and the layout was created by Justin Bartlett.

Las Vegas based punk rock outfit GOB PATROL have unleashed their new EP New Spit out now via Riot Records.
 
Gob Patrol are heavily inspired by the legendary 80’s US punk scene highlighted by acts such as Black Flag, GBH, Minor Threat and The Germs they are angsty, rebellious, chaotic and 100% pure old school punk rock, just how we love it.

Stream/buy New Spit HERE

New Spit features 5 furious and raging punk rock tracks including the recently released singles Anarchy and Sin City.

Watch the video for Anarchy HERE

Anarchy is a track directly under the influence of the aforementioned acts, old school, proud and punk as f**k. While Sin City continues Gob Patrol’s reputation for thunderous guitar and drum tones, and high-energy vocals. This is as punk as it gets folks!

Watch the video for Sin City HERE

The idea of Gob Patrol started in 2018 with Jay the Guitarist meeting the singer Slam in Las Vegas over a discussion of punk rock bands. They soon found bass player Gogo and drummer Cody.
 
The concept was to develop music based on the influence and sound of their favourite 80s punk bands, and to keep that sound alive in a growing scene. Writing guitar-driven songs inspired by bands such as Black Flag, GBH, and The Germs, Gob Patrol stay true to the genre.
 
After recording their first demo, Gob Patrol hit the road playing shows to large crowds in California, Utah, Arizona, and raging in the Vegas scene. Look forward to a full album of punk anthems soon!
