It’s BLACK ‘N BLUE time ! « Hell Yeah ! » finally scheduled for release

“Hell Yeah!” is a proud comeback statement for a band that wrote the pages of hard rock history in the 80’s. Black ‘N Blue released four successful and critically-acclaimed albums through Geffen Records: their self-titled debut (1984), “Without Love” (1985), “Nasty Nasty” (1986), and “In Heat” (1987), with the latter two albums produced by the legendary Gene Simmons of KISS. Catalogue sales in the US were in excess of one million units and the band’s original guitar player Tommy Thayer went on to replace Ace Frehley in the current KISS lineup.

Death Metal Cult legends ROTTREVORE return...

Over the past 16 years a lot has happened with Chris Weber (vocals/ guitarist), Chris Free (bass) and Christian Easley (drums). The band was on a hiatus for almost all of the years from Dec 1995 - Dec 2010. The unreleased tracks, which there are 10 of them, were actually preserved by Chris Weber and were only recently tapped into to reconstruct in Dec 2010. Four of those songs are now going to be recorded and they have the old feel from back when with a new modern feel for today. They have the old school chainsaw guitar rhythms, which they are known for, but also a more technical and of course heavy approach to ensure that they keep the heart of ROTTREVORE alive.

KATANA - Heads will Roll

 A wonderful piece of classic Heavy Metal excellence. Katana are from Sweden but they have their obsessions with Asian traditions! and t's not their great vocals their musical skill that make them differnt. It's the fantastic songwriting, the catchy choruses and an unspecified atmosphere they create that brings us back to the glorious 80s.
The miracle is that they don't fail to sound "retro" but they do bring a fresh breeze in today's Metal.
