BLACKRAIN

There’s a good reason why, for many years, French rockers BlackRain ended most of their concerts by covering the AC/DC anthem “It’s a Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock’n’Roll)”…

BlackRain group photoFor, having formed in 2006 in the French Alps and with four self-produced albums under their belts, countless concerts in France, Europe and even Japan, these four musicians know for a fact this forthcoming year is undoubtedly the most important part of their career to date. Free from previous past commitments, now they feel like ready to escape to some new territories and have almost logically entitled this new album “Released.”

During nearly 10 long years spent learning the tortuous ways of Rock ‘n’ Roll, the band met a lot of good people – Frank, their so precious drummer; great bands like Europe, Papa Roach, Alice Cooper, Scorpions, Steel Panther, Kissin’ Dynamite and Crash Diet with whom they played; the team of a “New Talent” national TV show where they delivered memorable live performances to an audience of several million; Famous photographer Dean Karr responsible of the new band pictures; and last but not least American producer Jack Douglas, known for his work with Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, Alice Cooper, The New York Dolls and even John Lennon… a true music “legend” who provided all of his good old fashioned experience to the making of their 2013’s effort “It Begins” as well as on this brand new album : “Released”. He really applied his magic touch to the whole process. And to complete the circle it’s Warren Huart, Aerosmith’s sound engineer who, along with Jack, mixed these new BlackRain songs at the Spitfire Studio in Laurel Canyon.

This gang has grown up with the sounds of WASP, Guns N ‘ Roses, Skid Row, Ratt and Mötley Crüe!!

HELL IN THE CLUB

Hell In The Club is the name of the rock’n’roll monster created by members of two of the most talented Italian heavy metal bands around: Secret Sphere and Elvenking.

Hell In The Club photoActive since the middle 90’s these two bands have written the history of Italian and International heavy metal with the release of many successful albums and with their presence on some of the most important metal stages.

In 2009/2010, HITC recorded their very first songs in Authoma Studios (Alessandria) and layed down 12 rockin’ jewels that formed the band’s first full length album entitled “Let The Games Begin” – released in Europe, Japan and USA through a collaboration of different labels Red Pony / Get Rocked, Avenue Of Allies, Bad Reputation and Rubicon Music in January 2011.

Highlights of the “Let The Games Begin tour” 2011/2012:
• Heineken Jammin’ Festival in Italy after winning the contest, that took HITC on stage
before bands like The Pretty Reckless, Vasco Rossi, All Time Low, etc.
• Basin Fire Fest in the Czech Republic with Paradise Lost, Sodom, Freedom Call, etc.
• Sonisphere Festival in Italy with Iron Maiden, Papa Roach, Rob Zombie, Motorhead, etc.
• Gigs supporting Crashdiet, Faster Pussycat, Crucified Barbara, Stephen Pearcy from Ratt, Pino Scotto and a special gig with Dregen from Backyard Babies who joined HITC on stage to play Ramones’ “Pet Semetary”.

FOR MY ADDICTION

For My Addiction – formerly known as ”Addiction” – is a hard rock/heavy rock band, formed on April 2014 in Athens,Greece.

For My Addiction photoFMA was formed when lead singer/rhythm guitarist Vaine and bassist Nikotinn left their previous band, and along with drummer Chris Rox, they decided to form a new band and create the music that has always been there, ringing in their heads. Lead guitarist Costas Varras joined later on but for personal reasons he left the band a few months later, and was then replaced by lead guitarist Rizzy.

For My Addiction‘s main influences are hard and punk rock bands from the 80’s and 90’s and it’s music is a mix of a modern hard n’ heavy sound with glam and punk elements.

On June 1, 2015 , FMA self-released it’s debut album ‘Addiction‘, and managed to gain many positive reviews from European and American press.

FMA had its first ever live appearance on September 6, 2015 opening for the German heavy metal band Bonfire, at Kyttaro Live Stage in Athens,Greece. Few more shows in Greece followed and on February 27, 2016, FMA had the honour to participate in Sleaze Festival, which took place at Matrix Venue in Bochum, Germany, opening for some great bands such as Kissin’ Dynamite, Toxic Rose and The Cruel Intentions.

On June 11, 2016, For My Addiction shared the Metronum’s stage in Toulouse, France with French power metal band Manigance, leaving good impressions and a promise to return in France the soonest possible. While the band is now focusing on the next album, which is said to be released by the end of 2016, FMA is also planning some more shows in Europe to grow the
band’s fan base and let the world know and listen to FMA‘s music.

NASTY RATZ

Nasty Ratz photoThe band Nasty Ratz started in Prague (CZ), September 13th, 2012. In the beginning, Jake Widow (behind the microphone and rhythm/lead guitar) and Rikki Wild (behind the drums) started a band based on powerful stage performances using pyros, make-up and wild music with a punk rock vibe. The inspiration was pretty clear. Rikki’s drum parts were rolling like a stone and their influences such as Phil Rudd, Eric Singer, etc. were more and more hearable. Also, Jake’s pitching the high notes could remind KISS, Mötley Crüe, Crashdïet and more. Nasty Ratz got a chance to play a few times with Adam Bomb (USA), JunkYard 69 (GR), Sandness (IT), etc. in the Czech Republic and with Crazy Lixx (SWE), The Last Vegas (USA), Confess (SWE).

In May 2015, the band started recording the full-lengh album called “First Bite” which was recorded for money of fans participating pledge campaign. Plus, the album is released by a bigger label “Sleaszy Rider” worldwide.
