WE THE GATHERED - BELIEVER
The full-length delivers melodic hardcore inspired by acts like MISERY SIGNALS, THE CHARIOT, and early UNDEROATH; but it’s the underlying, and surprising, moxie that elevates this band from the throng.

They channel that earnestness into their live show to produce an intense, dynamic performance.

Myrath’s distinctive metal style is blended with oriental rhythms, scales and harmonies, their overflow of innovation and feeling, creates songs so touching, they take the fan to an imaginary universe of light where the sun of the east literally bursts in to their ears creating a visual, sonic display.  Add to this the powerful, splendid vocals of Zaher Zorgatti irradiating the entire album with his huge presence, makes this much more than an average metal release.

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA - DEAD THRONE
Forget everything you knew about The Devil Wears Prada. That's because the technically proficient, guitar-driven American metal outfit you'll hear on the forthcoming "Dead Throne" is a much different monster than the one you'd contended with on 2009's breakthrough offering "With Roots Above And Branches Below" and 2010's "Zombie" EP. With "Dead Throne," The Devil Wears Prada has turned a corner by turning up the aggression and turning on the emotions. "Dead Throne" is the product of hard work and The Devil Wears Prada's inevitable musical evolution, which tends to focus more on the band's unique, punishing dual-vocal assault this time around. Now available on CD.

OH, SLEEPER - CHILDREN OF FIRE

Oh, Sleeper returns with "Children Of Fire," their landmark third album for Solid State Records. Oh, Sleeper has built a dedicated international fanbase on tours with Bring Me The Horizon, Underoath, Every Time I Die, Demon Hunter, Silverstein, Finch and more. Their "broken pentagram" symbol has become synonymous with breaking from societal norms, uplifting spirits and merging melody with might. Vocalist Micah Kinard and guitarist/vocalist Shane Blay (ex-Between The Buried And Me) offer the most potent scream/sing combinations put to record since the most classic releases from Thrice, Glassjaw, and Underoath. "Children Of Fire" offers hope through an exploration of apocalyptic themes and the ongoing struggle of good vs. evil.
 
                                                                                                         
       
 

ALICE COOPER - WELCOME 2 MY NIGHTMARE
This is Alice's nightmare 35 years later and now that nightmare is exposed! Alice Cooper's widely anticipated new album, Welcome 2 My Nightmare picks up where Welcome To My Nightmare left off, with Alice trapped in his own warped mind. There is an array of collaborators on the new album, including original Alice Cooper members Denis Dunaway, Michael Bruce and Neal Smith reunited on 3 tracks. Musically, the album ranges far and wide, from trashing disco to garage punk, pop balladry to a rocking number, very much in the spirit of the Rolling Stones. Glimpses of themes from the original album are intertwined throughout, each track representing a different aspect of Alice's nightmare.

  BROKEN SILENCE - DISCERNING THE TIMES
Broken Silence may be one of the most overlooked bands of their time. Formed in the Hawaiian Islands in 1989, they rose to local fame. It was there they met Daryn Hinton, the former manger of Stryper/Holy Soldier. She worked with the band on their first EP and introduced them to producer David Zaffiro, former Bloodgood guitarist, and producer of Holy Soldier. Known not only for their strength of conviction, but also as one of the only rock bands to ever come from Hawaii; their notoriety soon reached the shores of the mainland. The band was courted by several record labels but never quite found the right fit. In spite of the changing music industry, this critically acclaimed album was originally released as an EP, later re-released in Japan as a full length album, and now is made available to all. The 2011 Retroarchives Edition features all 13 tracks digitally remastered by J Powell at Steinhaus, and comes in a 6 panel digipak featuring lyrics and a band bio. With Zaffiro's hand at the helm, it's no surprise that Broken Silence's sound and recording is of the highest caliber! Producer David Zaffiro even recruited Broken Silence vocalist Daniel Ysais to sing on several tracks on Holy Soldier's second album. It's so good (and CDs are so rare) that No Life Til Metal webzine writer Scott Waters (Ultimatum) wrote, "Broken Silence is one of the greatest melodic metal bands that you have never heard. Every song has a killer hook, jaw dropping guitar solo, and phenomenal vocals." Well said. For fans of Stryper, Holy Soldier, Guardian, and Sacred Warrior!
