Metal Shock Finland‘s Senior Manager Alison Booth also has a metal radio show on TotalRock and it’s now time for the last Blackdiamond’s Metal Mayhem of this year, coming up on Tuesday 20th December! The show, as always starting at 6PM GMT on http://www.totalrock.com, will be celebrating the holiday season with a few metal Christmas songs in between some favourite releases from the year, from bands such as AVANTASIA, LORDS OF BLACK, EVIL MASQUERADE, MYRATH, PITCH BLACK PROCESS and many more!
Also featured on the show will be some end of the year new singles from KREATOR, BATTLE BEAST and SEPULTURA along with a very special track only released on video until the new album next year, the epic new Yuletide offering from SNOWY SHAW – ‘Krampus’! Also a Christmas pressive giveaway from Swedish hard rockers DESTINY, be there!
‘Krampus’ is the third new music and video released during 2016 from Snowy Shaw‘s forthcoming first album as a solo artist to be out in early spring 2017. Odd and unconventional as it may seem, ‘Alcoholocaust’, ‘Nachtgeist’ and now ‘Krampus’ could and should be viewed as premotional videos rather than promotional since the songs themselves aren’t available yet until next year. Made to introduce the fans to the new chapter in the wondrous world of Snowy Shaw, both musically and visually and to offer a sneak peak on what’s to come. ‘Krampus’ is created by by Snowy Shaw, Lucky Ludde and Patric Ullaeus and recorded at Tomten’s Verkstad. Mixed and mastered by Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman, check out ‘Krampus’:
Over the past few years having played shows and released the live DVD/CD box “SNOWY SHAW: 25 years of madness in the name of metal” where Snowy and his namesake band ( + special guests) play “All his favorites songs from all his former bands” as well as two separate live albums “Snowy Shaw,.. is Alive! “and “Live in Hell”. All of which about 65% are Snowy‘s own compositions, while the rest consists of music Snowy either recorded with the original band, toured the world playing or both.
Since replacing Mikkey Dee as a drummer in King Diamond in 1989 Snowy has earned himself a reputation as one of the scene’s most hard working multi-talented artist and multi-istrumentalist with numerous bands and projects such as Therion, Sabaton, Notre Dame, Dream Evil, Dimmu Borgir, Mercyful Fate, Memento Mori, XXX, Opera Diabolicus, Kee Marcello, illwill, Mad Architect, Denner/Shermann etc.
2017 sees him bring his spectacular show to the U.S for the first time with the sold out show at Prog Power Atlanta, in September. The plan to to add more U.S dates as well as a tour of South/latin America during the period is currently in the making.
“Frankly speaking, after all these years with various duties and positions in countless bands I’ve reached a point in my life where I feel that if I don’t get to do my own shit now, and the way I want it I might as well give up music altogether. Apart from doing the occasional recording session job every now and then I really can’t picture myself ever joining another band again. As grateful and proud as I am, having had the privilege of working with all those fabulous bands in the past, it’s a bit like Been there/ done that. So come hell or high water, for the rest of my days I’ll be a solo artist. And I do mean that in the truest sense of the word, meaning that I’m doing it all myself with the exception that I do have a live band appearing with me while on stage. Although I might be able to play and sing it all on the recordings I simply can’t do it all at once for obvious reasons“.
