ROCKSECTOR RECORDS ANNOUNCE 3 NEW RELEASES

Rocksector Records is delighted to announce 3 new releases for the first half of 2012 ... the 2nd album by American/Greek hard rockers 4Bitten, plus 2 brand new signings Hanging Doll & Steel Threads.

4BITTEN ANNOUNCE 2ND ALBUM "DELIRIUM" FOR RELEASE IN APRIL 2012

From the often troubled streets of Athens comes as fresh, relevant & powerful a melodic hard rock record as you’re likely to hear in 2012. Greek rockers 4Bitten announce their much-anticipated 2nd album “Delirium” for release on Rocksector Records on 23rd April 2012. 

Almost 3 years after their debut album “No More Sins”, also on Rocksector, this 4 piece band, fronted by a diminutive American/Greek lady of undoubtedly big vocal ability, is ready to unleash a 2nd offering. Fofi Roussos comments “Although we were hugely proud of our debut, we know there’s so much more to come from the band & we had no intention of rushing things”. 

“Delirium” is a record that picks up all the qualities of the 1st album whilst making stellar steps forward in terms of production, songwriting & performances. Fofi continues “We’ve all been touched or affected in some way by the financial crisis & it was important to each of us in 4Bitten that somehow we cut through all that & tried to reflect the great passion & culture which lives & breathes in our country come-what-may”. 

When in 2008 Rock Hard magazine first spotted 4Bitten’s enormous potential they invited the band to record a track which was released on the magazine’s KISS tribute record. At that point perhaps even Rock Hard didn’t foresee that the band would before long be signing their first record deal, leading almost straight away to valuable support slots with Michael Schenker Group & Dan Reed in the UK, & later Uriah Heep & Tygers Of Pan Tang in Athens. Prior to 2011 when the main focus was on writing & recording, the band had become regular visitors on tour in the UK. 

The 4Bitten sound stems from the British & American rock titans of the last 4 decades but where “Delirium” scores especially highly is in refreshing & updating the band’s influences…. 

Tour dates in both UK & Europe are currently in planning for 2012 in addition to a debut music video directed & produced by the highly-praised Video Ink, based in the UK. 

“Delirium” was recorded at the Soundflakes studio in Greece, produced by Nick Papadopoulos & was mastered at West Side Studios in New York by Alan Douches (Mastodon, Clutch, Sepultura, Hatebreed, Killswitch Engage). The track listing is as follows.... 1. Burning The Candle 2. Jaded 3. Let It All Burn 4. Live 4 Today 5. A Different Fate 6. Games U Play 7. Far From Grace 8. Delirium 9. Not This Time 10. Through The Fire 11. Tomorrow Never Comes

HANGING DOLL TO RELEASE NEXT ALBUM "THE SACRED & PROFANE" ON ROCKSECTOR

Rocksector are delighted to welcome Hanging Doll to the label & very much look forward to the release of the band's next album "The Sacred & Profane". Due out 30th April, the album is follow-up to 2008's "Reason & Madness" which prompted Metal Hammer to comment "If Evanescence were a real band they would sound like Hanging Doll".

The band's dark & intense orchestral metal is infused with brooding detuned guitar riffs, fronted by luscious vocals, underpinned by an epic, multi-textured sound.

Formed in Walsall, England in 2002 the band set out to form a dramatic & melodic metal band, with a name inspired by the doll hanging from the ceiling in one room featured in the computer game Silent Hill. The game also inspired the mood & feel of the band's music. Local gigs were played, an early fanbase emerging & a demo was recorded prompting this comment from Ultimate Metal.. "Possibly the best release by an unsigned band in the past 10 years, if this band isn't snapped up by a canny record label the world will have truly gone mad". Sadly, tragedy was to intervene when, in 2004, one of the founder members Rachel Lilley committed suicide, leaving the band crippled by grief. By 2007 the band still hadn't really recovered from the loss & came close to disintegration. 

Somehow, the remaining members Daniel Leddy, Alex Cooper & Kev Wilson found the courage to continue, recruiting vocalist Sally Holliday who slotted in perfectly with her operatic, classically-influenced style & the band made a debut album "What Lies In Truth" in 2007. A further album "Reason & Madness" was released in 2008.

After 2008 Hanging Doll has played a succession of successful gigs, including various places at festivals at home & abroad, subsequently taking time off especially during 2011 to focus on writing & recording a powerful new record. "The Sacred & Profane" is exactly that record. Mark Appleton of Rocksector comments "I first saw Hanging Doll at the Rock Of Ages Festival in Birmingham in 2008 & knew straight away that was a band that given the opportunity I'd like to work with. The textures & atmospheres in the music really appeal, combined with superb musicianship & songs dripping with emotion. When a year or two later, Alex Cooper approached me at Bloodstock Festival with a view to becoming involved with the band's next release my decision was, frankly, a no-brainer"

"The Sacred & Profane" is to be released on 30th April 2012, with the track listing as follows....
1. Cradle To The Grave 2. Carnival Of Sin 3. Dark Narcissus (The Forest) 4. Lacrimosa 5. Only In My Reveries 6. Immortal Beloved 7. Tincture 8. The Sacred & Profane 9. Flames Of Woe 10. The Final Descent 11. Bound In Servitude 12. The Inauspicious Host 13. A Question Of Faith

STEEL THREADS JOIN ROCKSECTOR TO RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM "TIMING IS EVERYTHING"

Rocksector is excited to announce that Steel Threads have joined the label in order to release a debut album "Timing Is Everything" on 4th June.

The fabulous Steel Threads offer a quietly accomplished quality & determination which we greatly admire. They've worked hard at an early stage on establishing themselves on the live circuit, between them, the members working with industry names such as New Model Army, Hugh Cornwell & The South. We release their debut album "Timing Is Everything" on 4th June but before that there will be a self-released 4 track EP on a limited pressing so grab a copy of that as soon as you can at the band's upcoming tour dates. More information at www.facebook.com/steelthreads

Steel Threads play Power-Folk, effectively cornering a new genre of powerful rock songs, with meaningful lyrics, accompanied by acoustic guitar & the special added ingredients of double-bass & fiddle. Fronted by vocalist/guitarist Neil Wardleworth, the band is made up by Stuart Eastham on double-bass & Cliff Woodworth on fiddle. Rocksector first saw the band play live at SOS Festival in Manchester in 2011 & impressed by what we saw, have stayed in touch & a deal for the first album release is the result.

Influences to the band are primarily Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, The Waterboys, The Levellers, REM & Crowded House, bands who thrive on strong songwriting & genuine muscianship.

The "Timing Is Everything" track listing & cover art will be revealed at a later date, as well as further 2012 tour dates to promote the record.

THE JAMES WARNER PROPHECIES RELEASE THEIR NEW 'THINGS CHANGE' ALBUM ON MARCH 12th!!

Quirky power rockers THE JAMES WARNER PROPHECIES are set to release their debut album 'Things Change' on March 12. The trio have distilled an offbeat and adventurous sound (mirrored by their idiosyncratic look) into eleven tracks of raucous, unforgettable melody.

Lead off track 'Define' is accompanied by an awesome video, courtesy of young filmmaker Daniel James Broadley, (check it out for yourself at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhQn_RU5U60), and the song's insistent and dramatic melody proves a perfect taster for the album.

Produced and engineered by the band's frontman, Joe Brown, 'Things Change' expertly displays the bands energetic mix of sounds. Taking strands of pop-punk, rock and pop and forging them with powerful and honest lyrics it's an anthemic blast, with reference points from Queen to The King Blues to My Chemical Romance. Their sound also comes from a distinctly British perspective, injecting just the right amount of self-awareness and subversive humour.

Having WON 'Best EP/Single' for their 2011 EP 'Fell' at last years Pure Rawk Awards, this year they have been nominated for FOUR Awards - 'Best Band', 'Best Frontperson', 'Best Bassist' and 'Best Drummer'. The winners are announced in March, so WATCH THIS SPACE!!!

Renowned for their spectacular live show the Midlands-based trio have supported the likes of Supergrass, The King Blues, The Blockheads, Streetlight Manifesto, Go:Audio, Alabama 3 and Dreadzone and have played at numerous festivals including, amongst others, the Bearded Theory festival, Y-Not Festival, BOMFest and Glogow Festival in Poland.

A full UK Tour is planned for April ... dates will follow.

Ringo Starr – New Album ‘2012’

Ultimately what's most impressive about Ringo Starr isn't what he's been, but rather who he is," wrote Rolling Stone rock critic David Wild. "The man's great heart and soul, his wit and wisdom." Ironically, the story of Ringo's evolution from former Beatle to successful solo artist is still best told from the beginning.

Ringo Starr's music, as a solo artist and as a Beatle, is permeated with his personality. His warmth and humor, and his exceptional musicianship have given us songs we all know and love, including "With A Little Help From My Friends," "Don't Pass Me By," "Octopus' Garden," "Photograph," "It Don't Come Easy," "Back Off Boogaloo," "You're Sixteen (You're Beautiful And You're mine)," "Don't Go Where the Road Don't Go," "The No No Song," and "Never Without You."

Since beginning his career with The Beatles in the 1960s, Ringo Starr has been one of the world's brightest musical luminaries. He has enjoyed a successful and dynamic solo career as a singer, songwriter and drummer, an active musical collaborator, and as an actor. Drawing inspiration from classic blues, soul, country, honky-tonk and rock 'n' roll, Ringo continues to play an important role in modern music with his solo recording and touring.

Guest performers include: Joe Walsh, Benmont Tench, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Dave Stewart, Don Was, Van Dyke Parks and Edgar Winter.

1.            Anthem (Richard Starkey / Glen Ballard)

PRETTY MAIDS to celebrate their 30th Anniversary with the release of « It Comes Alive » - the band’s first ever audio-visual release !

Frontiers Records is pleased to celebrate PRETTY MAIDS’ Thirtieth Anniversary with the release of the band’s first ever live 2CD/DVD package entitled “It Comes Alive (Maid in Switzerland)” on March 23rd in Europe and March 27th in North America.



Following the highly acclaimed 2010 album “Pandemonium”, Danish melodic hard rockers, Pretty Maids have been touring more or less constantly throughout 2010/2011. They undertook a full scale European tour in 2010 and have since played several festivals and occasional gigs. The overwhelming response to the new songs and the ongoing requests coming from the fans prompted the band to take their chance and record a live 2CD/DVD last October 1st 2011. Pretty Maids gathered in Pratteln, Switzerland with an enthusiastic and highly explosive crowd of die hard fans and followers to fulfill the demand, for an energetic and memorable performance which was recorded with a fully equipped mobile studio and cameras.

“Riding on the success of our previous studio album Pandemonium and with maybe the strongest line up ever, we thought that we’d make some kind of a live document of what this band is all about in the present time” tells singer Ronnie Atkins. “It Comes Alive is purely and simply a tribute to all our fans and supporters throughout the world, who gave us so many memorable moments, so much pleasure and making our childhood dreams come through”.

“The band’s spirit during the last couple of years has been better than in a long long time” says Atkins. And “It Comes Alive (Maid in Switzerland)” shows the band at the top of their game, performing songs from a 30 year long career.

“It’s always difficult to make a set list that satisfies everyone” continues the singer, “It’s a combination of what the crowd expect us to play and what we like to play ourselves ! But of course there are songs like Futureworld and Red hot and heavy that we have been playing for the last 25 years so, they still get a new life every time we play ‘em and still seem to please our audience. But basically what you will find on this Live album are the songs that we toured with on the Pandemonium tour, with a few exceptions”.



“It Comes Alive (Maid in Switzerland)” will be exclusively released in a lavish 2cd/dvd digipak released and will include the following tracks:

CD1: Pandemonium; I.N.V.U; Hell on high heels; Wake up to the real world; Destination paradise; Another shot of your love; Scream; Walk away; It comes at night; Queen of dreams; Savage heart; Clay.
CD2: Yellow rain; Rock the house; Back to back; Rodeo; Lovegames; Future world; Little drops of heaven; Please don’t leave me; Red hot and heavy; Lethal Heroes*
* bonus track
DVD Contents: Pandemonium; I.N.V.U.; Hell On High Heels; Wake Up To The Real World; Destination Paradise; Another Shot of your love; Scream; Walk Away; It Comes At Night; Queen Of Dreams; Savage Heart; Yellow Rain; Rock The House; Back To Back; Rodeo; Love Games; Future World; Little Drops Of Heaven; Please Don't Leave Me; Red Hot & Heavy.
Rockumentary (incl. backstage footage and interviews with the band)

DVD Format: NTSC Region Free / Length 120 mins / Stereo mix 2.0 / Screen 16:9

The Album trailer can be enjoyed following this link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=E23eGK20h5w

Frontiers Records signs British uprising Metal stars FURYON for the Worldwide release of their debut album 'Gravitas' 

Frontiers Records is excited to announce the Worldwide release of FURYON’s debut album “Gravitas” on March 23rd in Europe and March 27th in North America.



FURYON is a new band from the UK who like nothing more than to challenge expectations. Raised on a diet of heavy metal, prog, and classic rock, FURYON mix all these components for a truly unique and contemporary sound. Delivering huge rock radio friendly songs, with technically challenging, yet infectiously catchy musicianship. Dedicated to one sole purpose, making hard hitting songs that will stand the test of time. “"Our music is good songs with touches of intelligence” says singer Matt Mitchell, “There are a many different moods that come out from this album and all the songs have meaning and substance. Heavy and Melodic! That is what FURYON and this album 'Gravitas' is about".

What separates FURYON from the crowd is the sheer quality of their musicianship. Boasting two truly world class guitarists in the form of Chris Green and Pat “The Shred” Heath, FURYON have few peers when it comes to the quality of their iconic riffs, and jaw dropping solos. Backing them up is one of the tightest rhythm sections the rock world has to offer with the awesome combination of Lee Farmery, and Alex (Nickel) Bowen. Leading from the front is the outstanding vocal versatility of Matt Mitchell, whose emotion drenched voice effortlessly moves between melodic and crunchingly heavy. “We really have been inspired by many bands over the time (as all musicians and writers are)” continues Matt, “but for this album inspirations from bands like Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Tool, Mastodon, Alter Bridge and Iron Maiden spring to mind”.

In 2009, after a sell out tour, and accompanying EP, FURYON set about the serious business of writing their debut album. The early demo’s reached the ears of US producer Rick Beato (SHINEDOWN, FOZZY), and a powerful and symbiotic relationship was formed. “Our hook up with Rick Beato was through Kip Winger” recalls Matt. “We toured with Winger on their Karma tour and we had spoken with Kip about the band Shinedown and how we liked there productions. Kip hooked us up with Rick and to our delight he was interested in doing the album. Rick is a truly great Producer and writer”.



Released independently on a low profile and later covermounted on Metal Hammer UK, “Gravitas” received already rave responses from the press.

“Gravitas” will be released on Frontiers Records with the following tracklisting: Disappear Again; Stand Like Stone; Souvenirs; Don't Follow; New Way of Living; Voodoo Me; Fear Alone; Wasted on You; Our Peace Someday; Desert Suicide; Voodoo Me (acoustic)*; Souvenirs (acoustic)*
* Bonus tracks

Enjoy the videoclip of the awesome first single “Disappear Again” following this link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEClIzmdBE8 - The song can also be streamed on the Frontiers Records webradio: www.frontiers.it/webradio

Frontiers is now releasing this stunning debut worldwide with 2 bonus tracks. Pay attention: FURYON are destined to stardom!

JEFF SCOTT SOTO’s return to ROCK on « Damage Control » out in the Spring on Frontiers !

Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the release of JEFF SCOTT SOTO’s fifth studio album “Damage Control” on March 23rd in Europe and March 27th in North America.



Extraordinary performer and amazing vocalist throughout, Jeff Scott Soto blasts through these hard rocking tracks with energy and masters the transition smoothly from heavy rock to a delicate ballad. For his new album “Damage Control”, Jeff has turned to many of his past influences and most requested aspects of his career by blending the art of Melodic Rock with Hard Rock throughout.

“I feel Damage Control is more of a return to what my fans would expect to hear from me. It’s a perfect blend of my first two solo albums with Frontiers Records; Prism and Lost in the Translation, but also mixes in some of my favorite moments of my past bands such as Talisman and Soul SirkUS” tells Jeff. “It is heavy, AOR, hard rock with loads of great riffs and melodies”

“Damage Control” was recorded in the fall of 2011 and is completed with appearances and co-writing along with his former and current band mates together with many guests including Jamie Borger and Nalley Påhlsson (Treat), Casey Grillo (Kamelot), Joel Hoekstra (Night Ranger) and legendary Y&T founding member Dave Meniketti. Jeff recalls: “Y&T drummer Mike Vanderhule played drums on a track and suggested I bring Dave on but, as he is a long time friend and one on the ‘wish list’ of people I would have loved to have, I didn’t want to get an excuse that he was too busy or not interested, to my surprise I got neither... he was willing to do it and I was not only grateful but beyond pleased to work with another musical hero!”



The album will be released in two exclusive configurations; the basic version in CD jewel box will include 11 songs, while the deluxe edition in digipak format has an additional 3 bonus tracks and a DVD. Full tracklisting is below:

CD: Give A Little More, Damage Control, Look Inside Your Heart, Die A Little, Take U Down*, If I Never Let Her Go, Tears That I Cry, BonaFide, Elena*, Krazy World, How To Love Again, AfterWorld, NeverEnding War, Afraid To Die*
* Bonus tracks only available on the Deluxe Edition.
DVD: Look Inside Your Heart (videoclip); NeverEnding War (videoclip); Damage Control (videoclip); EPK interview.

Jeff Scott Soto is currently planning tour dates that will support the release of the new record: “The plan is to do as much touring as possible wherever the World will have me. I plan to promote this album with a proper touring regiment!” concludes Jeff. Get ready for “Damage Control”, it will rock your World!

The first single “Look Inside Your Heart” can be streamed in full on Frontiers Records’ webradio: www.frontiers.it/webradio - the official trailer can be enjoyed following this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHMnFbmxEuM
