Italian melodic thrash metallers ADAMAS have released a new videoclip “Heavy Thoughts”, can be seen below, the title-track for their upcoming album, set to be released on March 13, via SG Records. The video features one of the historical metal world voices, Mr. Blaze Bayley (Iron Maiden singer 1994 – 1999).
The album will be available already on March 11 in every digital store.
The video was directed by Swiss filmmaker Lorenz Cuno Klopfenstein, the protagonist is Monia Bartolini. Heavy Thoughts is a meeting point between the sound of the ’80s, that characterized the band since the first album, and more modern sounds.
ADAMAS project was born in April 2007 from an idea of Luigi Castellani (vocals) and his brother Eugenio Castellani (drums). After the first album in 2010 “Evil All Its” and a line up change (the entrance of the bassist Alessandro Manini and the guitarist Federico Fondacci) this formation starts to compose the new album. At the end of 2014 the band enters in studio for the recording. Mixing and produced by Mauro “Ulag” Mancinelli in his DPF Studio, Heavy Thoughts is a more direct album than the first one, with a harder sound and a more definite and personal identity. Everything will be highlighted by the rough and restless artwork of Maestro Ambrosiano and by the pictures of Eleonora Proietti Photographer.
Other collaborations on “Heavy Thoughts” album are Christian Bartolacci and Marco Vitali (Ibridoma) and the poet Angelo Grasso from Catania (Sicily).
One goal of this work was the involvement of many different figures, close to the Adamas family, in order to create a network of skills behind the creation and promotion of the album.
STEVE FOGLIA has just unveiled the artwork for his upcoming new album, “Steve In Woderland”, which is scheduled for release on September 22nd, 2014.

“Alive In Poland” was recorded in Poland in April 2007 during the 21st edition of Metalmania festival in Katowice, Poland.

Bayley‘s latest studio album, “The King Of Metal”, was released in March 2012. The CD was recorded at Fear Studio in Ravenna, Italy.
The 50-year-old Bayley, who was born in Birmingham, was the original frontman in WOLFSBANE, but left in 1994 to replace Bruce Dickinson as the lead singer of IRON MAIDEN.
Former IRON MAIDEN singer Blaze Bayley and Paul Di’Anno performed at Tavastia Club in Helsinki – Finland on November 14th. Check out below the fan-filmed video footage of the performance:
