Unforgettable characters.
The Scottish Hard Rockers are here with their sixth
album. Their classics Razamanaz, Loud And Proud, and Rampant have built their
career, and here, after their takeoff, they are flying very high. Weight and
melodies coexist in the tracks of the album to the fullest extent. The team of
Dan McCafferty on vocals, Manny Charlton on guitars and synthesizer, Pete Agnew
on bass, and Darrell Sweet on drums starts the musical journey with the title
track "Hair of the Dog" that grabs you by the throat right from the
start, followed by a feast of tracks like "Miss Misery," "Changin'
Times," "Whiskey Drinkin' Woman," a cover of Crazy Horse's
"Beggars Day," and "Please Don't Judas Me." Especially in
this reissue, supplemented with many B-sides and live performances on the BBC,
the package becomes even more satisfying, starting with the utterly
heart-wrenching but classic single and cover of the Everly Brothers' "Love
Hurts."
With immense pride, Bleeding Nose Records announces
the release of the latest single from STESY, "We Like to Party," a
ferocious metal cover of the timeless Vengaboys classic. Released on June 7,
2024, this track is both a tribute to the iconic Eurodance hit of the 90s and a
mesmerizing reinterpretation, meticulously crafted for the metal community.
STESY, the high-energy partycore band hailing from
Austria, has carved a niche in the metalcore scene with their relentless fusion
of heavy metal, pulsating beats, and a staunch commitment to unclean vocals.
Garnering over 550,000 streams on their recent releases, the band’s dynamic
sound and electrifying live performances have attracted a loyal and expansive
fanbase.
"We Like to Party" is a prime example of
STESY’s unique ethos: an explosive blend of exuberance and intensity, where
carefree dance anthems collide with fierce mosh pits. This single promises to
captivate listeners with its series of thunderous breakdowns and infectious
rhythms, laying a solid foundation for the track.
Reflecting on the original's impact, Chris, the band's
frontman, highlights how STESY has metamorphosed this cult favorite into an
anthem that stirs nostalgia while encapsulating the raw energy of metalcore.
Fuchsl, the bassist, remarks, "Just like the Vengaboys, we spread good
vibes, but with us, it's amplified by the energy of the mosh pit.”
"We Like to Party" transcends being merely a
song – it is an invitation to revel in the metalcore spirit, harmoniously
merging the familiar with the novel, and is destined to thrill both longtime
fans and new listeners.

Floating Worlds' journey began in 1998, overcoming
numerous hurdles to release their debut album, "Only A Dream Can Kill A
Dream," in 2007. With J.Soti joining in November 2011, the band's sound
evolved, culminating in their second album, "Below The Sea Of Light,"
released on October 1, 2013, and their third, "Battleship Oceania,"
on May 17, 2019. Now, the band is poised to captivate listeners once more with
their fourth studio album, "Skywatcher," set for release on June 21,
2024.
"Skywatcher" is a ten-song concept album
that stands as a testament to the band's growth and creativity. The album is
narrated by the renowned journalist Paul Rogers, who recounts the mysterious
and melancholic tale of Winston Smith, a nine-year-old boy who vanished while
stargazing in hopes of reuniting with his lost father. This narrative arc takes
listeners on an interstellar adventure filled with enigmatic events, echoing
the spirit of classic science fiction from the 80s and 90s.
The album’s storytelling is enhanced by the atmospheric
compositions crafted by Andreas V (guitars, synths, drum programming) and Mike
Papadopoulos (bass guitar, guitars on "Nostalgic Alleys"). Jon Soti’s
emotive vocals bring a poignant depth to the narrative, while Stelios Pavlou's
dynamic drumming adds an essential rhythmic drive. The production, recording,
and mixing by Dion Christodoulatos at CFN Studio, along with mastering by Nasos
Nomikos at VU Productions Mastering Studio, ensure a polished and immersive
sonic experience.
Floating Worlds ventured into new musical territories
for "Skywatcher," integrating elements that reflect their favorite
sci-fi films' ambiance. This exploration results in a rich tapestry of sounds
that envelops the listener, transporting them into Winston’s cosmic quest. The
album cover, designed by Paper Goblin (K.Tsiakos & G.Papadakis), visually
captures the album's ethereal and mysterious themes.
"Skywatcher" is not just an album; it's an
odyssey through sound and story, questioning the boundaries of reality and the
cosmos. As the release date approaches, anticipation builds for what promises
to be Floating Worlds' most ambitious and evocative project yet. Will Winston
find his father among the stars? The answer lies within the mesmerizing tracks
of "Skywatcher."
Από
τους πρωταγωνιστές και πρωτοπόρους στο New Wave Of British Heavy Metal κι ας
είχαν μόνο το Single Buried Alive με το ομώνυμο τους ύμνο Blitzkrieg στη
δεύτερη πλευρά τέσσερα χρόνια πρωτύτερα. Η απασχόληση του τραγουδιστή τους
Brian Ross με τους εταίρους μεγάλους Satan τους οποίους ντύνει με τη φωνή του,
ίσως να είναι αιτία που αυτό το άλμπουμ άργησε τόσο. Αγνό κι ανόθευτο Heavy
Metal, παλιομοδίτικο, με καλή παραγωγή για τα γούστα και δεδομένα της εποχής
και βεβαίως τον ύμνο Blitzkrieg που κάποιοι ψιλο-άγνωστοι νέοι Thrashers
ονόματι Metallica θα διασκευάσουν (κι απ' αυτούς θα τον μάθουμε κι εμείς καλώς
ή κακώς!) μαζί με τα Inferno, Pull the Trigger, Armageddon, Hell to Pay,
Vikings, Time of Changes, Savior μαζί στο CD και τα τρία bonus Buried Alive,
Blitzkrieg κι Inferno στις single εκδοχές τους σε έναν δίσκο πραγματικά μέσα
απ'τη καρδιά των '80s.

Enormous contribution to heavy music.
Among the protagonists and pioneers of the New Wave of
British Heavy Metal, even though they only had the single "Buried
Alive" with their anthem "Blitzkrieg" on the B-side four years
earlier. The involvement of their singer, Brian Ross, with the other greats,
Satan, whom he graces with his voice, might be the reason this album was
delayed so much. Pure and unadulterated Heavy Metal, old-fashioned, with good
production for the tastes and standards of the time, and of course the anthem
"Blitzkrieg," which some relatively unknown young thrashers named
Metallica would cover (and through them, we would get to know it for better or
worse!) along with "Inferno," "Pull the Trigger,"
"Armageddon," "Hell to Pay," "Vikings,"
"Time of Changes," "Savior," plus the three bonus tracks
"Buried Alive," "Blitzkrieg," and "Inferno" in
their single versions on a record truly straight from the heart of the '80s.
