Frontiers Records is excited to announce the release of TESLA brand new studio album entitled "Simplicity" on June 6th in Europe.

The Sacramento Rockers are back with 14 new songs offering a ride of energy that doesn't come easy for a band of rookies much less a band whose been doing this for over 20 years. “Simplicity” is TESLA’s seventh all original studio album which follows a 6-years creative break from the release of the previous album “Forever More”.

After a string of shows in the USA in 2013, the band went back into the studio in early 2014 and came out with a new album, which goes straight back to the TESLA roots. The band worked and produced it as they did with “Into the Now”, their successful come-back album from 2004. Helped by the legendary Tom Zutaut who was the man behind the best TESLA albums, this new album rocks from start to finish, showing a variety of emotions where each song has its own twist--not sounding like another.

The first new song off the new album "Taste My Pain", was released last summer digitally via iTunes and Amazon. The track was recorded during a two-day (June 5-6, 2013) session at J Street Recorders in Sacramento. The new song is, according to the band, "A heavier song with a hard-driving beat and TESLA trademark blazing guitars."

It is possible to stream it now following this link: http://youtu.be/cqHzkUIvL-8

Guitarist Frank Hannon says about “Simplicity”: “I must say that this new TESLA album is really gonna be awesome. We went in more prepared with the songs and ideas way more than Forever More, and the style is pure TESLA back to our roots. I truly believe you guys are gonna love it!”

“The opening track is called MP3”, continues Hannon “and starts off with an opus intro that orchestrates into a heavy slow groove with lyrics about technology and how we miss simplicity, vinyl albums, family values...and has a heavy ass riff! Then we segue into a rock n roll song called Ricochet that talks about uncle Ted...can't wait to play this stuff live!”

“Simplicity” in the Frontiers version released across Europe, will include the following songs:

M P 3; Ricochet; Rise and Fall; So Divine...; Cross My Heart; Honestly; Flip Side!; Other than Me; Break of Dawn; Burnout to Fade; Life is a River; Sympathy; Time Bomb; 'Til that Day; Burnout to Fade (writing demo version)*

Uriah Heep, one of the pivotal hard rock groups to emerge from England in the late 1960s returns with Outsider, its 24th studio album, and the first since 2011’s critically acclaimed Into the Wild album. Outsider will be released on June 6th in Europe, June 9th in the UK and June 10th in North America on Frontiers Records.

“We are very proud of our history” says founder/guitarist Mick Box, “but it is equally important to keep producing new material. This new album, Outsider, is very much a rock album in true 'Heep' style. It shows that we still have the same passion and energy for our music that we have always had.”

From the opening chords of the album’s hard driving rocker, “Speed of Sound”, to the more introspective closer, “Say Goodbye”, Outsider proves that Uriah Heep has remained a musical powerhouse, and one that can effectively balance its legendary sound with a distinctly contemporary approach. The record, which was produced by Mike Paxman (Asia, Status Quo), also introduces bassist Dave Rimmer, who joined the band last summer after the untimely death of long time member, Trevor Bolder.

Says Box of his late friend, Bolder: “We lost a world class bass player, singer, songwriter and friend. While Trevor was ill, he wanted us to continue working, so we used a bass player called Dave Rimmer, who Trevor approved of. It was only natural that Dave carried on with the band.”

After major tours of Europe, Scandinavia, Russia and South America, upon the release of Outsider, Uriah Heep will launch a world tour that will take in many continents as the band promotes the new album to an eager international audience. 

Formed in London in 1969 by guitarist Mick Box and late singer David Byron as “Spice”, the group evolved into Uriah Heep (the name was taken from a character in Charles Dickens’ novel David Copperfield) when they began conceptualizing the first record. The album Very ‘eavy, Very ‘umble, launched the band’s distinct sound in 1970, one that was built around layered harmony vocals, swirling keyboards, and heavy guitar riffs. Current lead singer Bernie Shaw and keyboardist Phil Lanzon have been ever present since the mid 1980s, and drummer Russell Gilbrook joined Uriah Heep in 2007.

The band's repertoire features hits over five decades from the 70s through to the present day including tracks such as; “Gypsy”, “ Easy Livin'”, “July Morning”, “Look At Yourself”, “Stealin’” and “Lady in Black”, which went to #1 in Germany on three different occasions, and once stayed at #1 for 6 months. They have gone on to sell 40 million records, and have toured globally for 5 decades, visiting no less than 56 countries, headlining numerous festivals and arena tours, including being the first western rock band to play Russia, in 1987. Founder Mick Box has remained throughout.

Track listing for Outsider:
Speed Of Sound, One Minute, The Law, The Outsider, Rock The Foundation, Is Anybody Gonna Help Me?, Looking At You, Can't Take That Away, Jessie, Kiss The Rainbow, Say Goodbye

'The Opposites Of Light'  is the long awaited fourth studio album from London/Los Angeles based trio Die So Fluid. Right from the band's inception DSF sat awkwardly with their peers -as a band with little inclination to adhere to the restrictions of musical pigeon holes and trends. But being the weird looking stepchild of the British Nu Metal scene was a lifetime ago - and with each recording Die So Fluid have flaunted their individuality.

'The Opposites Of Light' began as a tongue in cheek working title for the new record - because the material was going to be dark and heavy. As the writing progressed the record started to live up to this name. Eight songs featuring the bands heaviest playing to date, delving into dark and introspective depths only previously hinted at. Egyptian violin virtuoso Samy Bishai returns to provide strings on several of the recordings and is joined by Ivan Hussey on cello. The band entirely self-produced the record to maximise the time spent on performances and sounds, and after extensive tracking Mark Williams returned to mix. Also featured is a mix of ‘Comets’ by long-time supporter, and renowned producer, Sylvia Massy (Tool, System Of A Down, Johnny Cash…).  The result is the most complete Die So Fluid record yet, with a flair for heavy rock, post punk experimentation and vampiric desert ballads.

American guitarist and singer-songwriter, Jonny Lang returns for a one-off UK concert at London O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Friday April 25th.  Tickets: BookingsDirect.com and 0844 338 0000.  

On Saturday April 26th, at 4pm Jonny will perform 6 songs at the grand opening of  the Texas Bar.B.Q restaurant “The Big Easy” in Covent Garden, where Jonny’s performance will be filmed for a live worldwide webcast.  Visit bigeasy.co.uk for more information.  

In 2013, Jonny released “Fight For My Soul”, his first studio album in seven years.  BBC Radio 2 made it their “Album Of The Week”.    

“This album’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time,” says Lang. “Some of these songs may surprise people. Creatively, I think there is a lot more going on inside of me than I’ve been sharing on record so far.  Much of what I've experienced through music and life is in these songs.”  

Since the release of his 1997 major label debut “Lie To Me”, the then 16 year-old Lang has built a reputation as one of the best live performers and guitarists of his generation.

Released on April 14th, 2014 via earMUSIC, featuring the new single ‘A Shot At Redemption’ taken from the same titled 4-track EP - released February 14th, 2014

"What can you say about H.E.A.T? If you don't like these energetic Swedes you must be dead inside, as this year they've shown the UK crowd how to be the most complete band on the planet." - Classic Rock Magazine 

April 14th, 2014 sees the UK release of the long awaited new studio album ‘Tearing Down The Walls’ by Swedish rock band H.E.A.T via earMUSIC.   

Once again the band decided the move into Bohus Studio with Grammy-award winning producer Tobias Lindell and created an explosive, fresh sound. 

The first sneak peak of the album is the lead single ‘A Shot At Redemption’. It confirms all that H.E.A.T showed before and more: a catchy hookline, a driven beat, the obligatory guitar solo and the raw, beyond comparison vocals of singer Erik Grönwall.  

‘A Shot At Redemption’ will be released digitally as part of a 4-track EP on February 14th, 2014 via earMUSIC.  

Added on top to the ‘A Shot At Redemption’-EP are the previously unreleased ‘Under Your Skin’, a goosebumps worthy acoustic version of H.E.A.T’s ‘In And Out Of Trouble’ and a sensual cover of one of the greatest ballads, ‘She’s Like The Wind’.  

Four songs to enjoy the energetic and explosive side of H.E.A.T and their great talent for ballads, to ease the wait for the very anticipated new studio album.  Follow the link to watch what H.E.A.T has to say about ‘Tearing Down The Walls’:http://youtu.be/LYjLPVTc7PUU. 

‘Tearing Down The Walls’ – their brand new studio work – is the follow-up to the successful ‘Address The Nation’ which was praised by media worldwide as one of the best album’s in 2012 and consolidated the band’s reputation as the new leading band in hard edged melodic rock.  

H.E.A.T had a huge hit in Scandinavia with the song ‘1000 Miles’ in 2009 and the band’s 2nd Album, ‘Freedom Rock’, was nominated as one of the Top 50 albums in 2010 by Classic Rock Magazine UK. Since then, they have been touring all over the world, convincing everyone with their powerful performance. 

In a moment when artists like Foreigner, Journey and Whitesnake are enjoying a second youth, when teenagers are re-discovering the melodic approach to hard rock which these artists have mastered and when proudly wearing their logo on T-shirts all of a sudden turned “hip”, when classic hard rock songs are again in the single charts and among the most downloaded … – H.E.A.T is the hope for carrying this genre to the future. They are young, ambitious and full of energy.  

H.E.A.T’s music is not a revival, and it’s not nostalgic. Still… it’s by far the best you can have today if you love “classic rock” or “AOR”… or more simply if you think that rock music means energy, great songs, and the ambition to be on top of the world. 

The band will hit the road in 2014.  On March 7th they will support the Scopions in Madrid.  On October 24th they will headline Firefest in Nottingham, UK. More dates will be announced soon.

Tracklist – A Shot At Redemption EP

1. A Shot At Redemption

2. Under Your Skin

3. In And Out Of Trouble (Acoustic)

4. She’s Like The Wind

BLACK LABEL SOCIETY’S NEW STUDIO ALBUM “CATACOMBS OF THE BLACK VATICAN”

 RELEASED IN THE UK ON MONDAY 7th APRIL 2014

Guitar icon and Black Label Society frontman Zakk Wylde has announced a brand new studio album entitled "Catacombs of the Black Vatican," released April 7th via Mascot label Group in the UK and Europe. 

"Catacombs of the Black Vatican" is the first all-new Black Label Society studio album since "The Order of the Black" (2009), which debuted at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. 

In 2013, the band released the 2-CD set and DVD “Unblackened,” which found Black Label Society in a mellower mood in a performance filmed at Club Nokia in Los Angeles.  

Since their inception in the late 1990s, Black Label Society, formed by guitar legend Zakk Wylde, has been at the forefront of the rock genre. Their taste for hard riffs and blazing solos has resulted in a slew of hugely successful albums and a reputation as one of the most powerful live bands of their generation. 

Zakk Wylde, hailed as one rock’s greatest guitar heroes, served as Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist for over 20 years in addition to his work with BLS. This collaboration led to a string of multi-platinum albums, including Osbourne’s biggest selling "No More Tears," for which Wylde wrote all the music. 

Recently bestowed with such accolades including "Metal Guru" from the UK’s recently held Classic Rock Awards, "Golden God” by Metal Hammer and the “Best Guitarist” Award from Revolver Magazine, Wylde has proven time and time again that his songwriting, guitar prowess, and on-stage persona, along with his larger-than-life personality, have made him a force to be reckoned with. 

Black Label Society continues to captivate fans around the globe.  "Catacombs of the Black Vatican" promises to be another incredible chapter in the band's catalogue.

NEW POWERHOUSE TRIO FEATURING LEGENDARY VOCALIST- BASSIST GLENN HUGHES, DRUMMER EXTRAORDINAIRE JASON BONHAM AND 23-YEAR-OLD NEWCOMER GUITARIST-SINGER-SONGWRITER ANDREW WATT

SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM RELEASED BY FRONTIERS RECORDS, UK RELEASE: MONDAY MAY 19, 2014

AVAILABLE ON CD AND CD/DVD DELUXE EDITION

Think of California and you think of brilliant color and bright sunlight. Think of a breed and it's all about bloodlines and brotherhood. Put the two together as CALIFORNIA BREED, and you have the most exciting new band of 2014, built around the foundation of legendary vocalist-bassist Glenn Hughes, drummer extraordinaire Jason Bonham and 23-year-old newcomer guitarist-singer Andrew Watt.  

Mixing massive riffs, gutsy vocals and gale force rhythms, this powerful three-piece band will release their self-titled debut album in the UK on Monday May 19th on Frontiers Records. The album is produced by Dave Cobb (Jamey Johnson, Rival Sons, Lindi Ortega, Shooter Jennings). Look out for future announcements on the band at www.californiabreed.com. 

CALIFORNIA BREED was recorded at Cobb’s Nashville studio and features equal co-writing credits among the three-man lineup. “It’s proper rock,” Hughes told Classic Rock Magazine -  “but at the same time it’s very now. Andrew is as influenced by Mick Ronson as he is Jimmy Page.”

“This kid is an amazing guitarist,” says Bonham. “The first time we met I thought he looked like the white Jimi Hendrix. He plays in the studio likes he’s onstage!”

Glenn Hughes, nicknamed The Voice of Rock, is a true original, a legendary icon whose credits include Deep Purple and guesting with everyone from Black Sabbath to Earth, Wind & Fire, and his most recent collaboration with rock supergroup Black Country Communion.

No other rock musician has carved such a distinctive style blending the finest elements of hard rock, soul and funk. That astonishing voice is Hughes' calling card.

The legacy of Led Zeppelin lives on in Jason Bonham, British drummer and son of Zep's legendary John Bonham. He has inherited the best of his father's skills while mastering his own distinctive and dynamic technique. Jason has followed his own distinctive path over the years, fronting his own successful outfits like Bonham, and playing with Led Zeppelin, Foreigner, Heart and, most recently, movie composer Hans Zimmer.

Andrew Watt is a soulful singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose high-energy aggressive style and creative spirit are synonymous with the energy and vibe of New York City.

“I live in the moment, it’s all about now,” says Hughes. “California Breed is exactly where I live, breathe and where my freak flag flies".

      
MOTHER ROAD is the brainchild of Austin, TX (USA) based rock singer Keith Slack and Berlin (Germany) based guitarist Chris Lyne.

At some point in your life you'll have to 'kill your darlings'...and it's with a heavy heart I have to inform you that I'm laying my dear band FATAL SMILE to rest... 

I sure know it's a really bad timing with a new album to be released & we just kicked off our first show of the tour last nite... But at a certain point in life you'll have to make decisions if things are really worth doing it...??

I have come to that point when the answer is no, it's no longer worth sacrificing everything in my life, my heart & soul just to keep the 'FS-train' rolling...

It's been an epic journey since I started the band back in 1995 & I had a blast 'living the dream'... 

A million thank's to all of you for your endless support & love during those 'Fatal years' & thank's to all the band members during this time.I will sure keep writing & playing music, that's for sure!!!Take care & be well. 

Peace & Love, Yüksel Unutmaz aka 'MR. Y'"

The debut single 'Strange Times', available as a free download and included on the new Big Scary Monsters compilation, is an impressive statement of intent and sets the standard for the remainder of the debut EP ‘Accidents Happen’. “Relentless in pace with all the volume and energy of a great hardcore band, it drives forward with profound lyricism and off-kilter rhythms contrasted by chorus hooks big enough to rival any platinum selling pop band”. The track ‘Strange Times’ is currently enjoying airplay on BBC INTRODUCING, XFM ‘Featured Artist’ and Amazing Radio. 

DEATH AND THE PENGUIN are: Tobias Smith (Vocals, Guitar); Christopher Olsen (Guitar, Keyboard, Vocals); Andrew Acred (Bass Guitar, Keyboard, Vocals); and Timothy Brennik (Drums, Percussion, Vocals).

Jack Flanagan, manager of GWAR has issued this official statement: 

On behalf of Dave Brockie's family, Slave Pit Inc. and GWAR, we would like to thank all the loyal fans worldwide for the outpouring of love and support shown to us over the past few days.  Knowing that we have such amazing family, friends and fans is truly helping us all get through this tough time. 

We are awaiting a toxicology report from the medical examiners office to confirm the cause of death. The medical examiners office has informed us that the results can take one to three months to be processed. Standard protocol exists that a toxicology procedure be performed.

We have made funeral arrangements and a private memorial has been scheduled for close friends and family.

As Dave and Oderus would have wanted, this year's GWAR-B-Q scheduled for August 16th at Hadad's Lake (7900 Osborne Turnpike Richmond, VA) will still take place as planned. We have scheduled the Dave Brockie public memorial to take place the day prior to the GWAR-B-Q, Friday August 15th, also at Hadad's Lake.

More information shall be released as the details are confirmed.  

On April 18th the new EDGUY album “SPACE POLICE - DEFENDERS OF THE CROWN“ will hit the stores (UK April 21st, North America April 29th), followed by a world tour later that year (tourdates, ticket information for the first shows and details about how they consider to have the NASA help them build the stage at edguy.net)

Now you can already check out the first single “Love Tyger“ (available as digital single at iTunes, Amazon etc.). In UK & France the song is going to be available on the 30th, in North America on April 1st)

Tobias Sammet says about the first single: "The title ‘love tyger‘ had spooked through my brain for so long and I always said if I‘m ever gonna write a larger-than-life tongue in cheek tribute to myself it should be called ‘Love Tyger‘. That‘s just so seventies Porn style that I found it brilliant. I remember talking to my Avantasia fellows about it during the tour and they thought: Wow, what a shitty idea for a song title, ha! The song is a glam rock song like ‘Fucking With Fire‘ or ‘Lavatory Love Machine‘, but it‘s produced and arranged a lot heavier in my opinion. I wrote it from the perspective of a character who‘s been thrown onto earth as a gift of the Gods to mankind. Well, maybe the Gods were also really only tired of that character in heaven and just wanted to throw him out. Who knows?! Anyway, the odd fellow who is referred to as the Love Tyger decides to live up to the job he thinks he‘s got to do: Make the earthlings happy and entertain them as much as possible, be it by singing Motown songs or by breaking nose and rib falling off a festival stage, pretending that he can not fly. And all just for the amusement of the Heavy Metal world…" A video clip of the song is in the editing process and will be released during the forthcoming weeks.

At Edguy‘s website you can also listen to excerpts of the song “DEFENDERS OF THE CROWN“ and the full song “SABRE & TORCH“.

If you speak German: On iTunes Germany there is also a free podcast available in which Tobias speaks about the new album; and of course other stuff...

On April 18th the new EDGUY album »Space Police – Defenders Of The Crown« will be released (UK April 21st, North America April 29th).

 Besides their longtime goal, reaching the world domination, EDGUY also considers approaching NASA for stage set! In September EDGUY will hit the road in support of their forthcoming album »Space Police – Defenders Of The Crown«. The tour management has just revealed that they considered approaching NASA to help realize the stage for the show. A spokesman from All Access Entertainment says: "Working with EDGUY is a pleasure, but at the same time it's a major challenge. The best is not good enough for EDGUY because they love their fans like no other band in the world. They have always been the hardest working band on the planet to give their audience the biggest bang for the buck. It's an honor to work for them. The first time we considered approaching NASA was for a keyboard, due to frictional heat caused by Tobi's fast playing - the keys literally caught fire. We were in need of special material and gear used in the world of aerospace technology. That's when we got the idea of building a life-size model of Cape Canaveral to take out on the road with us. However, it was difficult to transform, we failed - but it was worth the try. Now, we see what we can come up with for the forthcoming tour, but we're optimistic that it will blow away everything known to humankind."

Epic doom metal band, BELOW, spent the end of 2013 at Sonic Train Studios in Sweden with none other than Andy La Rocque (King Diamond) to record their debut full-length album "Across The Dark River".

The band is now releasing the 2nd single off that album, "Mare Of The Night", exclusively through the website of Rock Hard Germany. Head here to check out the song: http://www.rockhard.de/megazine/praesentationen/below-mare-of-the-night.html

Make sure to stream the 1st single "Portal" on metalblade.com/below The album will be released on April 14th in the UK via Metal Blade Records.

BELOW comments on "Mare Of The Night": "An ultra-heavy song about a mythological creature who enter your dreams. Starting out slow and ending in a furious onslaught."

BELOW, hails from Sweden and music has influences from late Black Sabbath, Candlemass, and King Diamond, so going with Andy La Rocque as the producer was a clear choice for the group. La Rocque added: "This is one of the heaviest bands I have worked with in the studio in a very long time. And always great to work with great musicians!"

Not much is known about the Swedish quintet, however they are working with Tobias Rosén˜bass player of fellow Metal Blade Records artists Noctum - of Howlin' Owl Productions. BELOW started writing songs and in November of 2012 and a 4-track EP was recorded at Deep Blue Studios in Sweden. By this time, Tobias of Howlin' Owl Productions heard them and asked to act as manager for the band. The EP was sent to various magazines, labels and people in the business and was praised by everybody who gave the songs a listen. Metal Hammer awarded the EP a 9/10 rating.

Zeb - Vox
Hedman - Bass

"Authentic and Intimate" says The Independent

"Pure, Flowing Vocals" says The Guardian

"Exquisite" says The Times

 Scottish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Sandi Thom, widely recognised for her million selling debut 'Smile…It Confuses People' will make a Live Concert DVD at the newly refurbished Historic Tivoli Theatre in Aberdeen during her UK tour  in April. Hot off the heels of the release of her 5th album, the Classic Rock covers album, simply entitled ‘The Covers Collection, the DVD will be released in Autumn 2014.

 Thom’s latest release, a covers album, which consists of stripped back versions of some of classic rocks greatest hits including a stunning rendition of Led Zeppelin’s ‘The Rain Song’, a heart wrenching take on the Nine Inch Nails ‘Hurt’ and her wonderfully original version of ‘November Rain’ by Guns N Roses which has already clocked 120,000 views on you tube and is set to become a viral hit.

Classic Rock Magazine says "She wails with Soul" on The Covers Collection.

WATCH NOVEMBER RAIN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY-TdrNeUlA

A SAMPLE TRACK FROM THE COVERS COLLECTION CAN BE DOWNLOADED FREE THROUGH THOM'S OFFICIAL WEBSITE - http://www.sandithom.com/freecover

AND full versions can be heard at http://www.soundcloud.com/sandi-thom

In the eight years since Sandi Thom first burst on to the music scene she has released 5 albums, one of which was a collaboration with Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson and received wide critical acclaim. 

America's Huffington Post called it "Fierce and Honest".

She has collectively sold in excess of one million records, been nominated for a Brit , won a Digital Music Award, won Album Of The Year at the Scottish Music Awards with her 3rd studio album, and been given an Ivor Novello Award for excellence in songwriting.

Having successfully founded her own record company in 2008, she orchestrated a ground breaking deal with the major distributor In Grooves Fontana in 2011, secured an admin deal with Sony ATV in 2012 for her publishing company, whose writers include former MCA Artist Rebekah Ryan and founded a boutique booking agency responsible for all of Thom’s upcoming 2014 tour dates in the UK, North America, Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia and Europe. She has also acted as a distributor for many releases including most recently the debut album of Eminem’s D-12 band member Kuniva.

It would appear many underestimated Thom’s staying power in this industry and having dumbfounded her critics with her undying commitment, she has actually, quietly and consistently, become one of the most innovative and successful Independent artists around today.

 After a successful run of 2013 tour dates in the UK, Scandinavia, Australia, China & North America, including two nights at the legendary Iridium Jazz Club in New York City, home of the late, great Les Paul, Thom is now pleased to announce a UK Tour for Spring 2014.

The highlight of the tour will be at Thom's home town of Aberdeen, Scotland where she is set to film an "in the round" DVD with well-known confirmed guests. Thom is set to thrill UK audiences with her spectacular ‘One woman show” which sees her play a number of instruments including piano, guitar and Harmonica as well as wow crowds with her powerful vocals.

The tour is set to begin in April, and will stretch out across the month, expecting to draw dedicated UK fans to venues such as The Sage, Gateshead, The Tivoli Theatre, Aberdeen, and Nottingham Arts Theatre, Nottingham.

 Sandi will be visiting the following venues on her upcoming tour:

 Apr 02, The Brook, Southampton, UK

Apr 03, Dorchester Corn Exchange, Dorset, UK

Apr 04, Royal Albert Hall, London, UK

Apr 05, Gulbenkian Theatre, Kent, UK

Apr 13, Carnegie Hall, Dunfermline, UK

Apr 15, Tivoli Theatre, Aberdeen, UK

Italian rock band PAVIC is releasing their new video clip for the song “In Your Eyes” today which is taken from their recent album “Is War The Answer?” (Anteo/NVM): http://youtu.be/BTNPtaNu1mQ

"In your eyes" means that you have to find your truth, your way and your answers inside yourself. There's no other better than yourself to find all the answers to your questions.  For this video (the third taken from Is War The Answer?) we wanted to take a different approach and use an abstract story to tell the idea behind the song. Our video maker Alessandro Russotto suggested to contact Roberto Recchioni, writer for the horror comics series Dylan Dog, to write the story for the video. Roberto is a big fan of heavy rock music and horror movies. He liked our song and so he decided to combine the two and instantly we had the perfect concept for the video.

It took some research before we found the right place to shoot the video. Alessandro was looking for a car dismantling area for a more horror movie-like location.  We found the right place at the suburbs of Rome. The owner of the area was more than excited to have the video shooting at his place.

The video was shot on a sunny but cold day in January. The weather was a big question mark, as we were afraid of possible rain. Fortunately everything went smoothly that day and we had a lot of fun with all the makeup and preparation needed to create zombies!

The message behind the story (even if it's made in a very abstract and dark way) is that you have to look inside yourself to see in a different way the things that surrounds you, even if you can't understand that. If you could change your mindset, your point of view, you could see everything in a different way and maybe you would understand that the truth is always in your eyes. So, all the meaning is that you should leave all your fear behind to take a step inside yourself. You would learn to take possess of your life.

Ian Anderson recently won The Prog God Award from Prog Magazine, celebrating the innovators of rock who have inspired generations and carved a way for others to be at their creative best. There is no one who has pushed the boundaries more than Ian Anderson, who to this day remains immersed in his love for the music.

Fronting seminal Prog outfit Jethro Tull and as a solo artist, Ian Anderson has performed in more than 54 countries over 45 years; he is widely considered an icon of the genre and he’s recognised as the one who introduced the flute to rock music.  With over 60 million albums sold in their career, Tull have been characterised by Anderson’s trademark acoustic textures, created with ethnic flutes and whistles together with acoustic guitar and the mandolin family of instruments. In his most recent solo shows, Anderson has played with orchestras, string quartets and featured soloists. His eclectic acoustic performances are also a hit with fans of the genre.
