From the dusty heart of Southern Italy, THE APULIAN BLUES FOUNDATION return with their new single “Everybody Ought to Love Jesus”, now premiering exclusively on Doomed & Stoned.

The track delves deep into the band’s signature “delta stoner” sound, where the ancestral call of Delta blues collides with the heavy, hypnotic pulse of stoner rock. Reinterpreting the spiritual tradition through distortion, groove, and raw intensity, THE APULIAN BLUES FOUNDATION turn sacred lament into a howl of rebellion and redemption.

Stream “Everybody Ought to Love Jesus” HERE.

Formed in 2015, the band began their journey with the self-produced EP “Vol.1,” recorded and mixed by Bari-based sound engineer Andrea Dinapoli. After years of intense live activity — performing at Waves of Doom Fest, Freak Out Stoned Fest, Zolla Fest, Promontorio Music Fest, Rock in Lama, and sharing the stage with notable national and international acts — the band is now ready to present their first full-length album.

Their new record, “Traditional Songs About Life, Death and Rebirth,” will be released on November 21, 2025 via Zann’s Records. Comprising eight tracks, the album pays homage to both early 20th-century blues and the gritty, lysergic stoner rock of the 1990s, reinterpreting the verses and sounds of the past through a modern, raw and punk-driven lens.

Recorded and mixed at REH Studio within MAT Laboratorio Urbano in Terlizzi (BA) by Dario Tatoli, and mastered by Claudio Gruer (Nick Oliveri, Yawning Man, Brant Bjork) at Pisi Studio in Rome, the album marks a major step forward for the band, solidifying a sound that is both personal and immediately recognizable.

With this record, THE APULIAN BLUES FOUNDATION confirm their place as one of the most original and genuine acts in Italy’s contemporary rock scene — delivering a sound that feels both ancient and modern, dusty and visionary.

Tracklist:

1) Keep Your Lamp
2) Cool Drink of Water (part 1)
3) Everybody Ought to Love Jesus
4) Cool Drink of Water (part 2)

SICKY Drops New Single ‘Just Me’ with Lyric Video

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 31, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Brit-pop rock artist Sicky has released a new single, Just Me. The track blends vulnerability with defiance, pairing sharp, vivid lyrics with a driving rock energy. It touches on themes of feeling unseen, carrying scars, and ultimately finding strength in being yourself.

Rather than sinking into self-pity, Just Me stands as a statement of identity. It’s a song that turns isolation into pride, delivered with the edge and honesty that define Sicky’s sound.

Stream the single here: orcd.co/justmesingle

Just Me is from SICKY’s album Troubled Delight, released via Epictronic. Recorded mostly at home with raw, simple instrumentation, the album grew organically, featuring unconventional sounds—from makeshift percussion to church bells, shopping centre doors, and a Quatermass and the Pit sample approved by Hammer Films. Scrappy, joyful, and under three minutes per track, Troubled Delight turns life’s highs and lows into relatable, fun music.

ROBIN TROWER to Release “One Moment In Time: Live In The USA” on January 30th, First Single ‘Day of the Eagle’ Out Now

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 31, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

The award-winning British blues icon Robin Trower will release his breathtaking new album One Moment In Time: Live In The USA on 30 January via Artone/Provogue.  Listen to the blistering first taste on Day of the Eagle.

For Robin Trower, stage and studio are two sides of the same coin. If you’ve followed his six-decade career, you’ll know every song on One Moment In Time: Live In The USA – starting with Day of the Eagle, the opening song to his 1974 masterpiece Bridge of Sighs.

In the summer of 2025 and riding high on the acclaim for his latest solo album, Come And Find Me (“Trower is to be treasured,” wrote Classic Rock), the guitarist crossed the Atlantic for a 25-date run in the nation that has welcomed him since the start. Almost 60 years have passed since Trower first performed in the Land Of The Free, but as a British gunslinger raised under slate-grey South London skies, he still remembers the culture shock. “I first came here with Procol Harum in the late-Sixties. Back then, it was a different world,” he says.

A lifetime later, with sound engineer James Kane rolling tape at multiple venues on the tour, it fell to Trower to decide which performances would be immortalised for One Moment In Time: Live In The USA. Every show was cooking, but after countless hours of intense study, Trower honed in on the material caught at the Music Box At The Borgata, Atlantic City, New Jersey (14 June) and the Tupelo Music Hall in Derry, New Hampshire (24 June). “The new album is the best take of each song from those two nights,” he explains. “It’s about the performance but also down to the sound quality. You have to choose carefully – I did a lot of listening.”    

The 14-song setlist represents a whistlestop guide to Trower’s fabled career, the bluesman striking a keen balance of all-time classics and new songs that reflect where he stands as an artist in modern times. You’ll find no fewer than four songs from 1974’s gold-selling masterpiece, Bridge Of Sighs, still universally hailed amongst the greatest albums from the golden era of blues-rock. “Those songs have to be in there, because they’re the audience’s favourites,” he says of these roaring renditions of Too Rolling Stoned, Day Of The Eagle, Little Bit Of Sympathy and Bridge Of Sighs’ title track. “That album is still a compelling piece of music.”
              
Other old favourites include Daydream (from 1973’s solo debut, Twice Removed From Yesterday) and Somebody Calling (from 1977’s In City Dreams). Elsewhere, Trower plays the aces up his sleeve with surprise airings of Rise Up Like The Sun (from 1994’s 20th Century Blues) and Distant Places Of The Heart (from his 2007 collaboration with the late Cream bassist Jack Bruce, Seven Moons).
              
Trower is no heritage artist, and the cheers are just as loud for the four songs from 2022’s No More Worlds To Conquer, not to mention his stalking take on One Go Round (from Come And Find Me).
But as the veteran bandleader acknowledges, the flying sparks on One Moment In Time: Live In The USA are down to the chemistry between his trusty power-trio: a three-headed beast that moves as one through the set’s shifting dynamics and time signatures, with Richard Watts on bass and vocals and Chris Taggart on drums.
                
One Moment In Time: Live In The USA, then, is a document of Robin Trower in full flight, just as powerful when experienced through your home speakers as it was for the fans on the front row. “At the very least, you want the audience to be feeling entertained by the end of the show,” he considers. “But I’d really like them to walk out feeling elated. I want them to get something emotionally out of this as well…”

Track Listing

  1. A Little Bit of Freedom
  2. One Go Round
  3. I Would Lose My Mind
  4. Come And Find Me
  5. Take This Hurt Away
  6. The Future Starts Right Here
  7. Tangled Love
  8. Capture The Life Begun
  9. Without A Trace
  10. I Fly Straight To You
  11. Time Stood Still

ONE OF NINE’s New Epic Album “Dawn of the Iron Shadow” Out Today

From the shadowed vales of Brethil, ONE OF NINE is now honored to share their new epic, ‘Dawn of the Iron Shadow,’ in its entirety, released today! The full offering of Pure Tolkienen Sorrow can now be heard at THIS LOCATION.

One of Nine says,

“The Dawn has spoken

And the Iron Shadow now falls across the face of Beleriand, for Anar is bound in chains of gloom.

All that was high and fair has fallen to ruin; so was it long foretold in the Doom of Arda Marred. If any mending shall yet be wrought, and the Marring undone, it lies only in the secret counsels of Manwë and Varda. But no whisper comes from the Holy Mountain, and the voice of Mandos in veiled silence remains.

Thus do we march beneath His darkened visage, not in memory of what was, nor in hope of what may be, but in the certainty of dominion. 

The West has fallen. Their thrones lie vacant, their promises naught but dust upon the wind. Let the peoples of Arda behold their end for we are the bearers of the last will of Melkor, and in our coming all life shall be unmade and all light shall be unshone.

Hail the Eye. Hail the Chain. Hail the Sword. Hail the Nine”

‘Dawn of the Iron Shadow’ is released today, on October 31 through Profound Lore Records and can be ordered HERE.

The cover artwork (below) was carefully wrought by the hand of Ted Nasmith, a craftsman of no small renown who is the illustrator of J. R. R. Tolkien‘s works ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ ‘Unfinished Tales,’ and ‘The Silmarillion.’

DAWN OF THE IRON SHADOW track listing:

  1. Parley at the Gates
  2. Age of Chains
  3. Dreadful Leap (feat. Hulder) [LISTEN]
  4. Of Desperate Valor
  5. Behold the Shadow of My Thoughts (feat. M. of Lamp of Murmuur)
  6. Bauglir
  7. Quest of the Silmaril [LISTEN]
  8. Death Wing Black Flame

Long have I listened to the songs of the Southron tongues, and low have I seen flung the banners of empires now unmoored in the tide of history. 

I have traced the bloodlines of kings to the very marrow, weighed every rune that once lit the high towers.

And yet, this I cannot name.

They are the Nine. Shrouded, innominate, but ever present, 

they descend across these lands like grave mist over the battle strewn dead. 

Their song is the unmaking of the world. All hear the black melody dimly in the silence of Night’s shadow, as if faint voices behind the heavy door were singing to thee, beckoning to thee…

They are as crawling thunder before the Iron Shadow, Warlords and Heralds of the Hungering King.

A piercing chorus of rusted shrieking, a cloying dread of which none can find refuge, they carry not banners but the grim auspices of Doom.

Do not seek them. Do not name them.  The Nine have risen. Their song is heard through the door.

ONE OF NINE Lineup:
Fellrider of Northern Unlight – Guitars, vocals
Pharazon the Golden – Drums
Gurthang the Black Sword – Guitars
Urmaiar the Rope – Bass
Langon – Keyboards

IRON SAVIOR Release First Single ‘Fame’ from Upcoming “Awesome Anthems of the Galaxy” Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 31, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Hamburg’s power metal masters IRON SAVIOR return with a blazing new single: “Fame”, their take on the iconic 80s anthem by Irene Cara!

With roaring guitars, soaring vocals and a cinematic sense of grandeur, “Fame” perfectly captures the spirit of ambition and energy that defined an era, and sets the tone for what’s to come on the band’s upcoming album “Awesome Anthems of the Galaxy”, due for release in March 2026 via PERCEPTION – A Division Of Reigning Phoenix Music.

Stream / Download “Fame” at: https://ironsavior.rpm.link/famePR

After reigniting their cosmic engines with “Machine World – Reforged” in 2025, IRON SAVIOR embark on their boldest mission yet. “Awesome Anthems of the Galaxy” transforms some of the most iconic pop hits of the 1980s into full-throttle power metal epics, combining nostalgia, passion, and the band’s trademark precision and fire.

From the electrifying rush of A-ha’s “Take On Me” and the thunderous drama of Phil Collins’ “Against All Odds” to the cinematic pulse of Jermaine Jackson & Pia Zadora’s “When The Rain Begins To Fall” and the adrenaline-fueled “Maniac” by Michael Sembello, IRON SAVIOR reforge pop classics into heroic, melodic metal anthems.

Frontman Piet Sielck comments:

“After the huge success of the 2002 Condition Red bonus track “Crazy” (Seal), which was actually used in a HBO TV show, we have been asked by fans and medias almost constantly to do a complete cover tracks album. So… two decades later here we are!” quotes frontman Piet Sielck. “AWESOME ANTHEMS continues the transformation from pop-to-metal in Iron Savior style as started with Seal’’s “Crazy” and Eurythmics “Sweet Dreams. We are absolutely proud of the outcome, which never looses the original vibe of the tracks but yet is 100% Iron Savior. Just listen yourself.. I guarantee a lot of smiles while doing so!” 

With “Awesome Anthems of the Galaxy”, IRON SAVIOR fuse nostalgia and futurism, passion and precision, proving once again that the past can shine brighter than ever when reforged in metal!

About IRON SAVIOR:

Forged in Hamburg’s metal heart, Iron Savior have been delivering their signature brand of powerful, melodic heavy metal for nearly three decades. Led by founder, vocalist, guitarist, and producer Piet Sielck, the band has become a cornerstone of the German power metal scene with their blend of high-octane riffs, anthemic choruses, and sci-fi storytelling.
