PIAS

Devil You Know is a metalcore supergroup formed in Los Angeles in 2012. Current members are: Howard Jones – vocals, Francesco Artusato – guitar, John Sankey – drums, Roy Lev-Ari – guitar and Ryan Wombacher – bass.

What you cannot say is that in its existence Winger has been a prolific band.  Between 1988  and now they’ve released only six studio albums.    Nevertheless they had their fair share of fans, which might not sound as a wonder, since musically these guys have always stood their ground.  OK, not all albums were that good, but they do have a few memorable songs.

How the guys at Frontiers Records are able to start of projects or bands with members from different bands, and get them to bring us fantastic music most of the time is a riddle to me.

This new band/project Three Lions consists of Vinny Burns (Dare, Ten, Asia), on guitar, Greg Morgan (Dare, Ten) on drums and introduces Nigel Bailey on vocals and bass.

LOST SOCIETY, one of the most promising Finnish newcomers of our times, are back with a vengeance in 2014. Founded in early 2010 in Jyväskylä by Thrash/Speed Metal enthusiast Samy Elbanna, the frontman gathered an ensemble of passionate allies to establish a band that would soon be known as Scandinavia’s most energetic start-up export. Members are: Samy Elbanna (vocals, guitar), Arttu Lesonen (guitar), Mirko Lehtinen (bass) and Ossi Paananen (drums).

Devil You Know is the intersection of three undeniable talents from the world of heavy music.

Anti-Mortem a Southern Metal band formed in 2008 in Oklahoma, Chickasha, US. Members are: Corey Henderson (Bass), Levi Dickerson (Drums), Nevada Romo (Guitars), Zain Smith (Guitars) and Larado Romo (Vocals).

Now this gets me exited. A collaboration that makes your jaw drop and where I have been waiting on for so long since I found out these guys were in the studio. Greg Puciato - Vocals/Guitar (The Dillinger Escape Plan), Max Cavalera - Vocals/Guitar

Carnifex is an American deathcore band from San Diego, California. Formed in 2005, they are currently signed to Nuclear Blast after having been signed to Victory Records and have released four full-length albums and one EP. The name of the band is derived from the Old English Latin word äúexecutioner; literally meaning, "executioner".

A new Vanden Plas album is always something to look forward to. They’ve never failed to amaze me with their fantastic albums.  Four years have passed since their last album ‘The Seraphic Clockwork’.  But it has definitely been worth the waiting .

This New Jersey three-piece engage in stoner, grunge and seventies rock passages. They do show some hints of talent and rhythm during some of these bits, but they lack direction and they rarely flesh out any of their ideas. At best they sound like second rate Alice In Chains for a few moments or like Soundgarden without the depth or sense of direction. At worst they sound flat and clueless. Somewhere below the surface I think that Driven Rise generate some interesting tones, but just not enough of them and no real blueprint to go by.
