POWERAGE RECORDS is excited to welcome cult Los Angeles progressive rock band Bigelf to its roster. The bands latest album ‘Cheat The Gallows’ is set for a pan European release September 7th 2009.

Steeped in traditional progressive rock values yet displaying a striking modernist sound, ‘Cheat The Gallows’, invites comparisons to a number of cornerstone rock acts from the Beatles to the White Stripes and all points in between. With a highly organic sound hand-crafted from vintage instruments - including Melotron and Hammond Organ – together with the inventive song writing ability of front man Damon Fox, the album pulsates with a sense of purpose that suggests a group on the brink of something very special indeed.

Spotted by former Four Non Blondes front woman Linda Perry and signed Stateside to her label Custard Records, the band have delivered one of the most creative and impressive rock records of the year.

‘Cheat The Gallows’ contains 10 tracks of dazzling musical virtuosity; ten unbelievable tales of cunning complexity made hugely accessible by virtue of simple melody and wonderfully evocative lyrics. Extraordinary music performed with pin-point accuracy and a sense of adventure that few other acts in this day and age are prepared to make the necessary sacrifice to achieve.

Says Damon Fox, leader of Bigelf: "Honestly in this day and age, getting a label to release your music is getting more difficult. But when a label specializes in classic rock, totally understand where we’re coming from, I know that's where we belong. I'm very pleased and proud to have POWERAGE making our music available in the UK and Europe."

In support of the album release you can catch Bigelf on the road throughout Europe and the UK in Sept/October as part of the inaugural Prognation tour headlined by Dream Theater.

“It's sounds cliché but the European tour with Dream Theater is a dream come true for us” admits Damon Fox. “Although we've never played any, our music is built for arenas and now I hear our destiny calling. When I first met Mike Portnoy (Prognation instigator and Dream Theater drummer), I felt like we were cut from the same cloth, a brother from another mother. We could talk rock & roll for eons. Being added to the Progressive Nation tour feels like the planets have aligned for us and the elves have finally come home to Rivendell. The mentality of Dream Theater and Progressive Nation reminds me of a quote from the great Willy Wonka, ‘There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there, you'll be free if you truly wish to be...’ We eagerly await our return to Northern Europe and on a special note, we have never performed in England. This has driven us completely mad over the years. We are just brimming with passion and excitement to be able to bring our music back to the homeland which has inspired us so deeply.”

Mike Portnoy: “Los Angeles' Bigelf are my personal favourite new band to come along in many years... whilst ‘Cheat The Gallows’ is my favourite album of the year/

Pretty soon, everyone will hopefully be falling for their retro, psychedelic, progressive, hard rock, doom metal as hard as I have!”

Indie Recordings is proud to announce the signing of SHINING.

Sweden’s SHINING has inked a deal with Norwegian label Indie Recordings, that includes the release of two full-length albums, and the release of the first ever official DVD from the band.

Commenting on the new signing SHINING’s front man and creator NIKLAS KVARFORTH, said “SHINING has reached a stage now where we have a considerable following, that is growing rapidly all the time, and I believe we have reached a new maturity with our music, expanding beyond what people expect from us, and we expect to go even further. It was, therefore, time to notch things up in respect of labels. We liked what Indie have been doing for their other bands, and we felt that SHINING would be comfortable in a relationship with them”.

SHINING recently pulled out of the Unholy Fest in Czechoslovakia, which has seen several bands pull out because of the organisers not meeting their obligations to the bands. The band’s next festival appearance is scheduled for the Party.San Festival on the 7th August.

More information about SHINING, including two tracks from the forthcoming release can be found on the band’s MySpace page at www.myspace.com/shininghalmstad.

SOAR proudly welcome to the family two bands that firmly demand headbanging of the most painful nature...

From the UK we welcome Death Metal crew

DYSCARNATE

The band themselves speak-

"We're f**king stoked to announce that we've signed a deal with the UK's very own Siege Of Amida Records and will be releasing our debut full-length with them in early 2010! After watching the label go from strength to strength, championing bands such as Annotations Of An Autopsy and Ingested we couldn't have hoped for a better label. We feel that SOAR will be a great home for us, giving us the opportunity to grow and bring the public the music we've wanted to hear for such a long time!"

These guys play ultra heavy old school Death Metal in the vein of Morbid Angel and Immolation with a heavy leaning towards bands that then led the way in the 90's, such as Skinless, Dying Fetus and Suffocation.

On the SOAR Myspace player is a raw cut from the band's self released EP 'Annihilate To Liberate'...expect their forthcoming SOAR debut to emerge at the start of 2010 with an ultra heavy production and a full touring schedule!

We are confident that these guys will be one of the torchbearers in years to come for UK Death Metal and we welcome them to the family!

Lifeforce is proud to announce the signing of Dubai's premier Death Metal act NERVECELL!
NERVECELL's Lifeforce debut will be the release of the band's album "Preaching Venom" outside the Middle East on October 26th in Europe (North America - tba).

"After months of discussions, negotiations and debates on seeking a secure label for our latest album “Preaching Venom”, and the future of Nervecell during these difficult times in the record industry, the long awaited chase has indeed come to an end. We are extremely proud to announce that Nervecell has now officially signed to Lifeforce Records and to say that we are thrilled about it is the understatement of the year!!! comments guitarist Barney Ribeiro
We honestly feel that this new relationship with Lifeforce is a great accomplishment and one that many once thought was impossible for a metal band based in the Middle East; but as the NERVECELL legacy will tell, we are no strangers to breaking boundaries and crushing the limitations that we have constantly faced during the last 9 years in our career as a Dubai based death metal band. Having said that, to be the first band originating from Dubai to ever be on a label is a pretty cool bonus and yet another record broken!
To have Lifeforce Records backing us today and strongly believing in our music, we feel honored and rest assured we look forward to cooperating with them as we know this will only lead to bigger and better opportunities for the band.
Together with a strong team at Lifeforce Records we are confident that the future is bright… and well, we really couldn’t be happier!"
Lifeforce Records president Stefan Luedicke about the signing of NERVECELL:
"We at Lifeforce are more than happy to welcome Dubai’s premier Death Metal band on Lifeforce. I have been in touch with Barney for a while already, but after meeting the guys at this year With Full Force festival it was an easy decision for us to say that we need to work with Nervecell. We hardly ever met a band with such strong work ethic and with the the highly professional team of people working for the band it will be a great pleasure for us to get the name Nervecell out to the world."

Nervecell emerged early in the year 2000 in the commercial city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Surrounded by a music scene that is dominated completely by the mainstream musical hype, Nervecell independently worked their way up and have undoubtedly proven to be the most potential metal outfit in the Middle East to date, delivering a powerful unique mixture of death metal & thrash metal.
After a series of lineup changes within the band it was only until 2003 that Nervecell decided to record the first demo entitled “Vastlands of Abomination”. Following the success of the demo the band hit the studio to record their debut EP “Human Chaos” in the summer of 2004. This release grabbed a lot of attention from both the underground local scene and around the globe. Being aired on local station Dubai Radio One’s weekly metal show Heavy Metal Thunder and various international radio stations as UK’s Total Rock and Germany’s The Metal Observer Radio, ranking their Top 20 charts. “Human Chaos” also received many positive reviews from various webzines & magazines in Germany, Netherlands, Greece, Italy, Morocco, USA, Canada and Britain’s metal bible Metal Hammer. The success of “Human Chaos” led Nervecell the opportunity to perform at the annual Dubai Desert Rock Festival in 2005 opening for legendary SEPULTURA and the mighty MACHINE HEAD. In 2006, London based drummer Gavin Ward (ex-POWER QUEST) joined Nervecell and toured with the band for a good year and a half.
In 2007 Nervecell headlined the Egypt Metal Festival 2007, in Cairo, Egypt and soon after embarked on a full headlining “Road Rage” tour in March/April 2007 in Australia culminating with the headline spot in Metalstock Festival 2007, Australia's only 3 day metal festival. After the successful Australian headlining tour, the band was then asked to play Metalcamp Festival 2007 in Tolmin, Slovenia alongside MOTÖRHEAD, SEPULTURA, KREATOR, IMMORTAL, BLIND GUARDIAN, CRADLE OF FILTH and many others. In 2009 the band played such influential festivals as WACKEN open air, WITH FULL FORCE festival, ROCK AM RING/ ROCK IM PARK among others.

DIORAMIC sign to Lifeforce Records

Lifeforce is proud to announce the signing of one of the most talented
and promising young German metal/ rock acts DIORAMIC!

It is a scientific fact that friction creates energy. That is not only
true for the world of physics but also applies to emotional phenomena.
The more tension there is, the higher the friction becomes, the more
energy is created. The necessary tension usually results from two
oppositional poles, charged differently and emitting contrary fields
of power. Light and Darkness. Hot and Cold. Love and Hatred. Strength
and Weakness.
This can of course be transferred to music just the same, and there
are some bands which thrive on the energy created by the contrary
musical poles they include in their sound. One of these bands is
DIORAMIC, a rather young formation form southern Germany. Their sound
is a unique mlange of numerous, and on first sight opposing acoustic
concepts. Like roaring thunder, followed by chirping of birds. Like
the sound of a car crash, intertwined with the steady calm of a river.
A fistfight in the midst of a blooming meadow. The force created by
this friction is enourmous, primal and very emotional. DIORAMIC have
definitely become a musical force to be reckoned with. The new
directive which Arkardi, Jochen, and Anton are pursuing at the moment
is lovingly entitled Art-Core, a powerful fusion of romantic melodious
elements with gut-wrenching blast-beats, and raw explosions of
guitar-blows, all enclosed by a controlled and yet menacingly
comprising tunnel of thunderous bass, pierced by a undeniable voice of
clarity, constantly wavering between harmonious flow and searing
outbursts.
Anton Zaslavski about the signing to Lifeforce Records:
"After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, and a lot of general
chaos, we are very proud to announce that we have officially signed
with Lifeforce Records! The long-hoped-for release of our new LP has
thus finally moved into grasp.
We are extremely happy about this turn of events and are very much
looking forward to our time with Lifeforce; we furthermore would like
to add that we can hardly wait to obtain world domination :-)"

DIORAMIC's 'yet untitled' Lifeforce debut, which was produced by
mastermind Kurt Ebelhäuser (Maroon, Long Distance Calling, Donots,
Blackmail) is set to be released in early 2010.

Powerage Records is pleased to announce the signing of rock band Pearl - featuring Scott Ian from new York Thrashers Anthrax

The band’s debut album “Little Immaculate White Fox” will be out in Europe early 2010

In the song ‘Rock Child’, gritty, soulful rock chanteuse Pearl belts: “I’ve been a little girl living centre stage/ I’ve been sleeping in a guitar case.” It’s not just a metaphor for feeling rock ‘n’ roll 24/7. As the daughter of rock legend Meat Loaf, Pearl was exposed to the genre and all it entails almost from the time she was born.

“When I was a baby, my mom, [Leslie Aday], would take me to the studio and I would actually nap in an open guitar case with pillows and a blanket,” she says. “When I grew up, there was music everywhere, whether it was at a party in the house or in some place where my dad was performing in front of thousands of people. I really kind of grew up in recording studios. They’re relaxing to me. Even to this day,

they can be blasting music and I can fall asleep on the couch because it feels like home.”

With such a strong musical background, it will come as no surprise that Pearl Aday has evolved into a startlingly unique and powerful solo artist in her own right and has produced a phenomenal debut album that is as diverse and adventurous as it is true to the remarkable creative environment that she enjoyed during her formative years. Having spent her entire life surrounded by music, she took her first professional steps as a backing vocalist, first as part of Meat Loaf’s band and then later as singer and dancer for glam metal legends Motley Crue. But it was at her 27th birthday party that her true destiny was revealed, when her future husband, guitarist Scott Ian (whom she met when his band Anthrax were on tour with Motley Crue in 2000), introduced her to the guys in Mother Superior, one of the tightest and smartest rock bands in the US and former backing band to both Henry Rollins and Daniel Lanois.

“We were just talking about stuff, and I said, ‘How would you feel about a chick playing with you guys?’” she says. “At first, they just looked at each other, and I was like, ‘Oh, God, what did I just do?’ Then they turned around and they were like, “Sure. Why not?’”

The ball began to roll in 2004 when Pearl started to collaborate on songs with Mother Superior guitarist Jim Wilson and bassist Marcus Blake. Striking up an immediate and formidable chemistry, they soon began to make demo recordings which eventually led to the creation of Pearl’s debut album, Little Immaculate White Fox, which was pieced together with renowned producer Joe Barresi in Los Angeles. A stunning and relentlessly heartfelt album that touches upon countless colours from the rock ‘n’ roll spectrum while maintaining a strong core identity throughout, the album is the perfect showcase for Pearl’s uniquely soulful and emotionally potent voice. Having completed the album with a cover of Tina Turner’s Nutbush City Limits (produced by Pearl and mixed by Warren Riker) and a new song, Broken White (produced by Jay Ruston), she is now ready to unleash Little Immaculate White Fox onto the world. Prepare to be blown away…

“I love expressing every emotion in my songs,” she says. “I don’t feel angry 24 hours a day. Everybody’s got their soft, gentle times, and then they’ve got their hard, angry times when they’ve got to let it out. Finding a balance between the two is what life is all about.”

et annonce la sortie imminente de son premier album solo, « Slash »

Roadrunner Records est très heureux d’annoncer la signature du légendaire guitariste Slash pour la prochaine sortie européenne de son premier album solo, « Slash », en printemps 2010.

Slash est l’un des musiciens les plus reconnus de tous les temps. Sa façon d’écrire les mélodies et de les jouer ainsi que ses performances au sein de Guns n’ Roses, Slash’s Snakepit, Velvet Revolver et un grand nombre de collaboration et guest appearances ont inspiré et diverti des millions d’auditeurs à travers le monde. Depuis qu’il a été propulsé sur le devant de la scène musicale en 1987 avec la sortie de « Appetite For Destruction » de Guns n’ Roses, qui détient encore aujourd’hui le palmarès du premier album le plus rapidement vendu de tous les temps, Slash est devenu l’un des guitaristes les plus aimés et les plus acclamés par les critiques de sa génération. En août 2009, le Time magazine a nommé Slash n°2 sur la liste des 10 meilleurs joueurs de guitare électrique de tous les temps.

Sur son premier album solo, Slash s’offre la collaboration de certains des artistes contemporains les plus en vue – et pas uniquement dans le monde du rock. Cet album s’annonce d’ores et déjà comme incontournable.

L’association entre Slash et Roadrunner Records promet d’apporter l’un des albums cultes de 2010.

World Management and Nuclear Blast are extremely proud to announce the signing of Metal / Prog Gods Symphony X !!!

“As lifelong fans of the band, it is with great pride that Nuclear Blast announces the signing of US Metal / Prog Gods Symphony X!!!
Symphony X exemplifies the technical sophistication of progressive metal while transcending the genre by writing amazing songs with masterful musicality and great hooks!
This New Jersey-based super group effortlessly creates a balancing act between solid, accessible arrangements and song structures with highly technical, challenging instrumental work and unbelievable melodic vocal harmonies. This embrace of polyphonic lead vocals, combined with their classical-sometimes even Queen-like- choruses create a powerful, in-your-face mixture. With elements of thundering metal, rock, solos with unstoppable guitar shredding and intense keyboards - this potent group has grown with every release and is poised to compete with the commercial success of top groups in all genres!
Symphony X is currently creating their next masterpiece, anticipated in the spring of 2010!
Together, we will bring this talent to a new level! We hope you are ready for the ride!”

“We are happy to be the part of the Nuclear Blast Family and look forward to working with them for many years to come,” says Michael Romeo.
