Lazarus Dream

Lazarus Dream The German hard rock band LAZARUS DREAM with their third album „Imaginary Life“ in the starting blocks! The core team, consisting of multi-instrumentalist/composer Markus Pfeffer (BARNABAS SKY, ex-SCARLETT) and vocalist Carsten Lizard Schulz, (ex-DOMAIN/EVIDENCE ONE) has meanwhile been expanded by drummer Markus Herzog (a.o. DOUBLE CRUSH SYNDROME, CHERIE CURRIE/ex-THE RUNAWAYS). From the more experimental approaches of the previous album „Lifeline“, the trio consciously took distance and 0returns specifically to the melodic hard rock roots of the debut album „Alive“ and puts the focus back more on catchy hooks and choruses, groovy riffs and melodies. On the title track, VANDEN PLAS guitarist Stephan Lill shines with an impressive guest solo (Lill was Markus Pfeffer’s guitar teacher in the late ’80s, by the way). The first single „My Prayer“ is an elegiac standout track that combines clean delay guitars à la PINK FLOYD, edgy riffs and filigree guitar solos of the „eighties shredder“ brand with emotional vocals and bombastic vocal arrangements by Schulz that would also have suited a gospel choir. Other highlights are the AOR opener „The Sweetest Chaos“, the ballad „Beauty Among The Ruins“, the synth-hooked up-tempo rocker „Rebel Again“ and the seven-minute-long closing epic „Empire Of Thorns“. The impressive artwork is the brainchild of the well-known French artist Stan W. Decker (NIGHT RANGER, STRYPER, BLUE OYSTER CULT, among others), mastering was done by Rolf Munkes at Empire Studios/Bensheim.   LINE-UP:Carsten Lizard Schulz: VocalsMarkus Pfeffer: Guitars, Bass, SynthsMarkus Herzog: Drums FACEBOOK:http://www.facebook.com/lazarusdream Releases Videos Playlist 1 Videos Lazarus Dream – My Prayer (Official Video) 4:38

Autumn’s Child

Autumn’s Child Swedish AOR/ Melodic Rock group Autumn’s Child is back with the fifth album ”Tellus Timeline”! This work contains eleven songs in the vein of the previous albums however this time with some songs with a bit harder edge! “I think this is our best album so far”, says singer and founder Mikael Erlandsson. Autumn’s Child have their own unique way to do their music with an intent to have a lot of different styles on each release. “Both me and Mikael are huge Slade and Sweet fans from the 70’s. The track ”Come and get it” is pure glam and was a blast to record”, says co-producer Claes Andreasson. Magnus Rosén, former bass player of Hammerfall, again is heard on “Tellus Timeline”. Some of the new songs like the first single ”Gates of Paradise” are harder and with a Nordic touch by the help of Swedish opera singer Karin Funk. “I have always wanted to do a duet with my old friend Jim Jidhed (solo/Alien) – and now we finally did it!”, adds Mikael, “the song “Juliet” is the Westcoast/ AOR gem on the album where our voices really match each other in a nice way. The opener ”A strike of lightning” really hits it off with a lot of hooks and that special guitar sound that is the trademark of guitar virtuoso Pontus Åkesson (Moon Safari).” Releases Autumns's Child – Tellus Timeline   TRACKLIST 1.

Heart Line – Original Seeds (EP) (CD)

Release Date: 08-12-2023 To pay tribute to your heroes is always a great idea. The French AOR band HEART LINE does so by interpreting songs by TOBRUK, DAKOTA, AVIATOR, VIRGINIA WOLF and ALIEN that influenced them big time. Due to contemporary recording techniques, the tracks sound a bit more powerful than the originals at times. HEART LINE offer a very respectful approach, though. Let’s see, maybe there will be more outputs like this ,like the Swedish band HOUSTON regularly does. It would really not be a bad idea…limited on 500 copies. (MS) Tracklist:

Miss Behaviour – Heart Of Midwinter

product: Miss Behaviour – Heart Of Midwinter release date: 17.02.2023 format: CD (ltd. mailorder only release) & digital territory: world remark: ltd. edition Cd re-issue (500 units only) with new booklet Emerging from a Swedish town by the name of Norrköping, some young musicians who enjoyed hardrock, heavy metal, AOR and melodic rock eventually founded a band in 2003. Miss Behaviour was born and this debut was able to leave its mark on the scene already in 2006. Erik Heikne (g), Henrik Sproge (keys), Mattias Wetterhall (v), Sebastian Gustavsson (b) and Hampus Landin (d) were the line-up. „Henrik and me had known each other since we were like seven years old. We discovered bands like Helloween at a very young age and had a very supporting teacher later on, who was probably a musician himself. He recognized that we were very focused on the bands we liked and encouraged us to start a band ourselves. We had a first gig soon after. And to cut a long story short, Henrik and I started to study in Kalmar. We studied music management but soon found out that what we were taught about the music industry was more or less out-dated already with Napster and the like going stronger and stronger and a radical change in promoting and releasing music coming up.“ Not having much to do apart from writing music, Heike and Sproge, sharing an apartment at the time and having played in various power metal outfits before discovering bands like Magnum or classic Yngwie Malmsteen, eventually started a band. Miss Behaviour was born. „We didn’t have the money and the knowledge back then but we wanted to create something in the vein of what Nestor is doing today“, Heike explains. More or less, nobody was doing it at the time. „Hampus, our drummer was not really into that kind of music but rather into Slayer and Pantera but he was the drummer around and recorded the songs and that’s it. But he is still one of my best friends and he and I still playing in different bands. The bass player was a kind of one-off-performance. He still plays but far away from what we did back in the day. I think he works in a library today. And the singer Mattias, how he was called back then, changed his name“, Heikne recalls. “I still talk to him from time to time. Still to this day, I’m pretty sad that he didn’t do much with his talent. The whole album has a great feel to it although the whole performance is far from what we did on our later albums but Mattias had that powerful voice which he wasn’t fully aware of“, states Heikne. Unfortunately, “Heart Of Midwinter“ is one of the very few releases Wetterhall sang on so far. Sebastian Roos, the current singer in Miss Behaviour, actually sang backing vocals on the debut, so coming full circle with the band. The debut came out in 2006 on a small label called Sunset Fox Records. „We were so happy to be able to spread our music“, Heikne remembers. Early Crashdïet might have been an influence on the band, too. Also the name of the band has to do with the love of sleaze rock back then because sleaze bands and musicians are often a bit out of line and live every cliche of rock to the fullest, probably misbehaving sometimes. “The music on our debut was also not pure AOR“, Heike admits. The guys did not know yet what exactly AOR – Adult Oriented Rock – really was. The opening track “The Shine“, being some kind of signature song for the album, certainly sticks out. “This track is a great example of the fine sense of melody in Henriks songwriting“, the guitarist recalls. The artwork reflects the search for their very own sound as the songs are a mixture of metal, AOR and melodic rock. Therefore, the artwork, too, is not typical AOR style. With three albums (“Last Woman Standing“ in 2011, “Double Agent“ in 2014 and “Ghost Play“ in 2016) following and e.g. a big UK tour and several festival appearances in Sweden or Germany, Miss Behaviour left a mark on the scene, having their hey days around 2011 and 2012. So, obviously, with prices on eBay and the like going up for the very few remaining copies of “Heart Of Midwinter“, it is about time to give this album a proper rerelease with a new booklet. “I think it would be unfair towards fans, who have been asking continuously for it as it wasn’t even available on streaming platforms, not to rerelease it. And Birgitt Schwanke and Pride & Joy Music are reliable partners.“ With Erik Heikne and Henrik Sproge writing songs currently, there might be some new music in the pipeline soon. Miss Behaviour is still alive and kickin’… product: Dark Mile – Dark Milerelease date: 12.07.2024format: CD & digitalterritory: world product: Miss Behaviour – Heart Of Midwinter release date: 17.02.2023 format: CD (ltd. mailorder only release) & digital territory: world remark: ltd. edition Cd re-issue (500 units only) with new booklet Emerging from a Swedish town by the name of Norrköping, some young musicians who enjoyed hardrock, heavy metal, AOR and melodic rock eventually founded a band in 2003.
