V-PROJECT   The New Machine
The V-Project is the brainchild of David Vaccaro, one of the denizens of the 1970s Boston scene that produced The Cars, J. Geils and Aerosmith, to name a few. “New Machine” finds Vaccaro mining familiar album-oriented-rock (AOR) depths with aplomb. Assisted by the ever dynamic Robin McAuley (McAuley-Schenker Group, Grand Prix, Survivor) on four tracks, Vaccaro has created a dynamic and authentic piece of late-70’s, early-80’s influenced guitar rock. “New Machine” does not break any new ground, but is a very listenable opus that dances around the edges of Southern Rock and 80’s Hair Metal at times. The highlights here happen to be the collaborations between McAuley and Vaccaro (“Exit Sign”, “Somebody Like You”, “You Don’t Care” and “Tangled In Your Web”). Also interesting is the Steve Miller cover “The Stake”.

VAIN Go to the Rathole for a detailed description! All Those Strangers
Vain released their debut, “No Respect” in 1989 and their videos, "Beat the Bullet" and "Who's Watching You" were featured in rotation on MTV's Headbanger's Ball and Hard 30/Hard 60 programs. The band toured the USA and rounded out the year with a UK tour supporting Skid Row.In 1991, things were to take a turn for the worse for Vain, and it would be finances rather than grunge which claimed this glam metal casualty, as their label, Island Records, collapsed before the band could release their second studio album, All Those Strangers. West and Rickard left the band in late 1991. Guitarist Shawn Rorie and former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler joined the band, which was re-named Roadcrew. Although a major label recording did not materialize, many of the Roadcrew songs can be found on later Vain releases. 1st Time On Cd !!

    NO RESPECT ( Re - Mastered )
Track List: 01. Secrets 02. Beat The Bullet 03. Who's Watching You 04. 1000 Degrees 05. Aces 06. Smoke And Shadows 07. No Respect 08. Laws Against Love 09. Down For The 3rd Time 10. Icy 11. Without You 12. Ready Band: Davy Vain - vocals Danny West - guitar James Scott - guitar Ashley Mitchell - bass Tom Rickard - drums Production: Produced by Paul Northfield, assisted by Davy Vain. Review: No Respect is the debut from the California quintet known as Vain, and they kick ass! This band, along with Jetboy and the Sea Hags, helped solidify the San Francisco metal scene. I call their style hair/glam/sleaze. Songs such as "Secrets", "Who's Watching You" and "Ready" really rock. No Respect is one of the best and most underrated albums of the 80's. They had the look and sounded great, they should have been famous! I give No Respect two thumbs up!

VAINGLORY   2050
$14.99 Buy It

    S/T
US melodic power metal band VAINGLORY features intense riffs, virtuoso guitar shredding, mighty drumming, heavy pounding bass parts, powerful vocals and thought provoking lyrics. Based around modern guitar master, Corbin King “The King Of Southern Shred”, and vocal sensation Kate French, of CHASTAIN fame, this band has all the ingredients in place to be a major force on the metal market for years to come. Kate's ability to mix power, conviction, emotion, and true heavy metal singing is very uncommon in today's "metal" vocalists. Kate is a veteran to heavy metal and has not only pushed beyond the normal bounds of female vocalists, but has delivered her best recorded performance to date on this CD.

    Soul Salvation
This is indeed a very nice surprise to see the reunited US AOR outfit feat. singer Hugo (Valenti) back in business with a new studio album. Their 1990 released selftitled debut still stands as one of the greeatest AOR albums ever and even if the following OPEN SKYZ album was just a very mellow affair, VALENTINE are still everybody’s darling with the AOR fan base. It doesn’t happens that much often that a reunited band can come up after such a long hiatus with a strong new release, but “Soul Salvation” has class overall and turns out much stronger as the recently released Ramos-Hugo project. “Soul Salvation” smells the classic JOURNEY sound all the way and will satisfy every AOR lover for sure.

    The Forth Season
With their previous release “Embrace The Silence” the Australian prog-metal outfit shoot straight through into the premiere league of this genre and they were clever enough, not to go for the quick buck and release a sequel just a few months later. With a break of two years inbetween “Ther Fourth Season” turns out even stronger than “ETS” and together with the recent releases from THRESHOLD, DARKWATER and AMARAN’S PLIGHT it’s already the fourth killer release in this genre this year. Their mix of progressive metal with melodic rock hooklines and hard rock riffs is simply breathtaking and will please not only prog-metal and hard rock fans, also melodic rockers should grab a copy of this gem asap.

VANITY INK   More Senseless Random Behaviour
For fans of Skid Row & Lita Ford. Finnish rockers Vanity Ink, signs a deal with Swedish record label Swedmetal Records. Vanity Ink hails from Helsinki, Finland, and has so far released two EPs (...roadkills!, 2004 and Vanity is a Full-time Job, 2005) and one full-length album (On Your Skin, 2007). The Inkers were born and raised with rock n roll records and they sold their souls already at their early ages. Many years in this business guarantee the professionalism but their wicked sense of humour and togetherness keeps them yahoo enough.

“Traveller” is Danny Vaughn’s brand new all original album and definitely is an highlight of his long career. For the first time he used a twin guitars attack giving the songwriting an aggressive, live and in-your-face approach. These songs are made to be played live and it is possible to feel it all the way. Musically the album is intense, strong and hook-laden. The band featured on the album includes Tony Marshall (ex Contagious) and Pat Heath (ex Brave New World) on guitars, Steve McKenna (ex Ten) on bass and Lee Morris (ex Paradise Lost) on drums. Due Feb. 16th.

Libertad is a bold move forward from their blistering debut album. While keeping their feet solidly on the foundation of searing hard rock, this album broadens the bands sound to new levels of creativity. The first single �She Builds Quick Machines' sets the tone with its menacing aggression. On Libertad that song is just the tip of the iceberg. Songs like �The Last Fight', �Get Out The Door', and �For A Brother' show that in the long term, Libertad has potential to take Velvet Revolver to even greater heights.

VENDETTA   Tyranny Of Minority
TYRANNY OF MINORITY” is 12 tracks of scorching traditional metal and marks the debut release from UK metallers VENDETTA. The mission was simple - to make an album of classic metal anthems, one that would capture the essence of the music that had driven these men since their youths in the rain swept hills of Cumbria and the industrial wastes of the North East of England. With “Tyranny Of Minority” VENDETTA have produced a debut album of timeless quality, one that reflects not only the world in which we live, but is testament to the power of musical faith. One of the bands main goals was to place a strong emphasis on great hooks and tight arrangements. The last Vendetta wanted was for the album to become bloated and outstay its welcome. “Tyranny Of Minority” is packed full of guitars with solo’s that trade off a la Tipton and Downing, harmonies and a wide range of different tonalities. VENDETTA are on the warpath, hell bent on staking their claim in the pantheon of Metal. You're either for or against them, there's no in-between.

VESCERA, MICHAEL   A Sign Of Things To Come
For the older metal fans the name Michael Vescera will certainly ring a bell. The man has put his mark on records by Obsession, Reign of Terror, Loudness and Yngwie Malmsteen. After that he made 3 records under the name MVP (Michael Vescera Project). On this new solo-record he is assisted by Jim Bell and BJ Zampa (both House Of Lords), Chris McCarvill (Obsession, Jef Scott Soto), Mats Olaussen (Yngwie, Ark), Scott Boland, John Bruno, Joy Mezias (all Obsession), Todd Kennedy, Tony Mei (both XfactorX) and 2 "guitar master" discoveries; 17 years old Joey Concepion and Ango Tasso from Taiwan. Opener "Between Heaven and Hell" is a neat song, the melody lines and singing are in Yngwie style. On the whole record Michael's singing is of old. The man doesn't have to prove himself anymore. O.k. he is not the best singer in the world, but he finishes high enough. "Something to Believe" is a slower epic song with high vocals and a nice melody. Personally I like the more faster tracks, such as the opening track and "Hands of Fate". All songs include nice guitar solos and the record is well produced. If you are crazy about classic melodic metal, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, with good vocals and excellent guitars, just take a change.

    In Hoc Signo Vinces
VII Gates are a classic metal outfit hailing from Sweden who add a new dimension to the genre with the infusion of modern day power metal elements creating a nice blend between the two eras of metal. Their debut album “Fire, Walk With Me” (2004, Sound Riot Records) received strong critical acclaim with writers praising the bands mix of classic metal values with modern day inflections. Their new album and debut release on Lion Music, “In Hoc Signo Vinces” (in this you will conquer) sees the band pushing this element further yet all the while keeping a consistent flow to the music and bands trademark sound. The guitar work of JJ Rockford and Robert Makek leaves a rich musical backdrop for the crisp vocals of Criss Blackburn to deliver many moods. Underpinned by the dynamic rhythm section of drummer Mick Van Slowfoot and new bassist Nicola Posa; VII Gates deliver metal that will appeal to fans of classic metal and the modern day power metal movement. On the album JJ Rockford comments, “When we released our first album "Fire, walk with me", the reviews where incredibly good. People really seemed to like how we took classic heavy metal and added a few new elements here and there. So, for this album, we tried to take this process even further. So the songs will sometimes have very dramatic changes, you will never know what will happen next. But still we managed to keep a flow, it still sounds like relatively normal songs in a traditional sense. In VII Gates, there is always a steady foundation of a very classic hard rock/heavy metal sound at the base. But above that basic layer it’s more open this time around". "The titles of all the lyrics probably sound like typical heavy metal titles. But behind them, you will only find stories of two general subjects. First, usual horror movie/books subjects. Or secondly, stories about bad marriages or the lust to live your own life, free from conventional relationships. Most of the tracks are more intricate and also a bit longer than on our debut but not at the expense of quality. New bassist Nicola Pasa definitely helped make the songs feel more alive, through some really carefully prepared bass playing. Guest keyboardist Tim Diaz also had more freedom this time. It’s still the basic instruments and the strong songs which are doing the main work, but the keyboards really added an extra dimension to the songs”.

VINDICTIV   Ground Zero
The Basis of Vindictiv started in early 2004 and is the brainchild of Stefan Lindholm. At an early stage Stefan contacted keyboard maestro Pontus Larsson and they started to work on some of the songs Stefan had laid down. They recorded a demo with Tommy Karevik (Seventh Wonder) and guitarist Johan Larsson (Johan and Tommy Band). The result was the 2005 demo and it met with some great reviews in Sweden rock magazine. However, Johan and Tommy decided to move on but Stefan managed to contact respected singer Goran Edman (Yngwie Malmsteen / Karma, etc) and, as he liked the songs, he put his heart and soul into making them fantastic. Bass player Nalle Pahlsson (Zan-Clan, Treat) joined the already impressive line-up and through Goran they got in touch with drummer Mikael Wikman, who played on the debut (ESM164). Zoltan Csorsz has since taken the stool and his fantastic drumming can be heard on “Ground Zero”. Musically the band is everything you would expect and more from Sweden. Goran Edman sings his heart out on seven of the eleven tracks and his powerful pipes suit the band in a way that just can only be described as awesome. The guitar technique of Stefan Lindholm is as crisp and neat as ever, and he seems to effortlessly produce exciting riffs and melodies with nonchalance. His early years admiring and emulating the works of Malmsteen and Vai shine through but he does have a technique of his own that finds its way through. Keyboards play a vital role in the overall sound and there are plenty of “cat and mouse” keyboards throughout, and when in harmony, form a grand wall of sound. The inclusion of Oliver Hartmann and Mark Boals in the vocal duties is a clever one and gives the band a more interesting slant; their input puts the cherry on top of the cake. There is simply not a weak track on the CD and the huge leap forward in sound since the debut is unquestionable. “Ground Zero” is a fantastic outing into Majestic Metal with the flawless guitar technique of Lindholm leading the way, of course backed by the pedigree of the band members. Vindictiv have taken a big step forward and have matured beyond all expectations.

Musically the band is everything you would expect and more from Sweden. The past vocal work of Goran Edman is bound to create a stir before we even put the CD in the player! The opening chords of "Fool's Paradise" say it all, and the scene is set for a great outing of powerful melodies and soaring harmonies. The guitar technique of Stefan Lindholm is very nice, and he seems toe effortlessly produce exciting riffs and melodies. His early years admiring and emulating the works of Malsteen and Vai shine through but he does have a technique of his own that finds its way through. It is possible to find overall comparisons to Malmsteen, Treat, Talk of the Town and many more. However, Vindictiv do possess an air of individuality that will set them apart and the release of this fantastic debut album will be eagerly awaited by all.

VIOLENT DIVINE   S/T
History begins in the early 80's where the all the popular bands were arena-bands and most of them come out of the L.A. In a sleepy little town in Sweden, 4 guys grew up listening to the brand new kind of metal and hardrock that MTV and the independent recordstores offered them. Bands like Motley Crue, Ratt, Poison, Van Halen, Aerosmith where highway of inspiration for this 4 guys (even though Klaus were more into the trash scene with bands like Slayer and the early version of Metallica, and didn't care much for those "hairbands" that were ruling the charts). While growing up and starting their own bands, their paths crossed every now and then. Through bands like Marshal Kane, Abandoned Sphinx, Starsky, Sleazy Rose, Millhouse these 4 guys met, broke up, met again for about over a decade, until the day in 2005 when the time had come to form VIOLENT DIVINE. Colored by their background and their musical sources of inspiration, VIOLENT DIVINE is a summary of all those years playing music, being on stage, playin the same records that they did when it all began... and the love they share for this kind of hard but melodic rock. In 2006 the band inked a deal with Chavis Records for their debut release.

    Noble Savage + 2
As one of the absolute pioneers of Heavy Metal New York based Virgin Steele were spreading the gospel of US-Metal since their foundation in 1981. Besides the brilliant guitar works the music is dominated by the impressive and variable voice of singer and main songwriter David DeFeis.

During their outstanding career the band released some highlights and classics, every Metalhead simply has to know to call himself “Metal”. With Nobel Savage and Age Of Consent two of them are now remastered and reworked – with newly designed booklets, previously unreleased bonus tracks and personal liner notes by David DeFeis himself. Noble Savage was officially released in 1986. Rock Hard Germany was marveled by the unique mixture of melodies, classical arrangements like in a Wagner opera and the unique vocals of DeFeis. It scored 9,5 of 10 points and was praised as “Heavy Metal in it´s highest perfection.”

VIRON   Ferrum Gravis
One of the best debut albums from Germany ever”, Rock Hard Magazin wrote about NWOGHM, the first CD of the German metal band VIRON. After just one demo-ep the CD was released by a small Greek metal label and received very good reviews in all metal related magazines. Even the title appeared to be a bit polarizing, the CD surprisingly does sounded more like classic US Metal than like Teutonic Metal which often tends to be more “happy” sounding. After the release VIRON played on several festivals including Headbangers Open Air and Swordbrothers Festival and did small tours and single shows with bands like Ruffians, Majesty, Sabaton or Morgana Lefay. And again they got tons of great reviews in the press, this time for being a great live band. In 2007 VIRON added a song to the Manilla Road tribute compilation “The Riddle Masters”. This positive development in such a short period of time showed that their previous label wasn't able to handle VIRON in a necessary and needful way. So they agreed to let VIRON go. After receiving several offers, they signed with Metal Heaven in Summer 2007. NWOGHM included all the songs the band had written until the day of entering the studio. What you hear on the CD is a reproduction of what the band sounded live on stage. On FERRUM GRAVIS the band again didn't use modern studio technics like triggered drums or amp-simulations. You won't find keyboards on the CD and it was mastered just as much as it was needful. Even though the way of recording is quite similar to the debut, the new CD shows a lot of differences. Much more time was invested into the songwriting process and catchy refrains were a major goal. The CD again was produced at Kohlekeller Studio (Sieges Even, Killers, Crematory). After a month of recording and mixing, FERRUM GRAVIS has a clear and natural, but still powerful sound. FERRUM GRAVIS shows a huge development of the typical VIRON style and it seems like they have created an album suitable for any metal fan. The style ranges from classic metal to thrash, even within single songs, but everything fits together very well though. They show that classic metal doesn't need to sound outdated, that true metal must not deal with dragons & swords or needs to contain “kindergarden melodies” and that melody and heavyness can go well together. With FERRUM GRAVIS, VIRON will break out of the metal underground.

VISION DIVINE Go to the Rathole for a detailed description! 9 Degrees West Of The Moon
The new album is particularly important in the history of the band as it marks the return of Fabio Lione on lead vocals, after Thorsen's decision to say goodbye to Michele Luppi in June 2008. "Fabio's return is like going back to square one for us", comments the band's creative mastermind Olaf "However Vision Divine is a band that did always move forward and I think that with his voice and interpretation he has enriched the songs and gave them a very peculiar and personal edge. I am truly enthusiast of his return in the band and look forward to bring this record out there with his amazing vocal abilities". Vision Divine line-up is completed by Alessio Lucatti on keyboards, Cristiano Bertocch ex-Labyrinth) on bass, Federico Puleri on guitar and Alessandro Bissa on drums. Produced by none other than the former Stratovarius mainman Timo Tolkki, Vision Divine created what is easily their most mature and intense record to date. Entitled “9 Degrees West of The Moon”, this is Vision Divine 's heaviest, but yet most melodic and catchy album ever, showing why they are now the number 1 band in the Italian Metal scene. "Melodies are the most important element of our music. However our songwriting is very diverse" explains Olaf, who adds "all the songs have very different atmospheres and can go from melodic songs like Violet Loneliness to very aggressive and heavy ones. I think there is something for everyone on this record". Vision Divine are also working hard on putting up a new World Tour which will bring the band to play again in Asia, South America and possibly Europe outside their homeland Italy. “9 Degrees West Of The Moon” is a fantastic journey that fans will consider as the true Vision Divine career defining statement!

    Infini
Not many bands deserve to be labelled "legends", but VOIVOD are definitely one of these bands. The Canadian band from Montreal never had their commercial breakthrough but influenced legions of metal bands with their original sound, a sound that no band was ever able to copy - unique and special. VOIVOD are one of the bands which both fans and musicians have great respect for. Their fourteenth album (and first for Nuclear Blast in 2006), "Katorz" was finished under tragical circumstances: Piggy, legendary guitar player and founding member died of colon cancer in 2005 during the recording process. But it was his wish that "Katorz" would see the light of day. His guitar parts were already recorded on his laptop. He gave drummer Away some advice on how to find and use them. So the album was mainly put together around Piggy’s guitar parts. Three years later, "Infini" is released and features another share of his legacy. All his original demo guitar tracks appear as they were recorded – no re-amping, no overdubs, just Piggy as he played the tracks he envisioned in his small bachelor apartment. The amp in the bathroom, capturing his performance with the laptop given to him by Jason Newsted. There were many discussions and ideas as to how to complete these recordings of songs that had never been actually performed with the whole band in one room. Away went into a studio in Montreal with engineer Glen Robinson and tracked his drum parts, and Jason waited anxiously to get the tracks and add his bass which he recorded with Enrique Gonzalez Müller at Fantasy Studios in San Francisco, then Snake tracked his vocals with Glen in Montreal afterwards. Jason and Enrique mixed the record in San Francisco over the holidays and Infini was born.Truly a collaborative record that came together from a respect and belief that these final VOIVOD songs deserved to be heard. Infini may be their last release as VOIVOD. In light of this sentiment the band agreed to play some summer festivals in 08 with original bass player Blacky and fellow Montrealer Dan Mongrain of the band Martyr, playing all classic era VOIVOD material. Dan turns out to be a technical wizard, and his own band Martyr is a well respected extreme prog metal band from Montreal. It was a risky move, but the fans and the band were happy with the outcome so much so that this lineup will play more live shows this summer. Jason is still a member of VOIVOD, and one day there may be live shows performing the songs from the last three records that Jason was very much a part of. 1. God Phones 2. From The Cave 3. Earthache 4. Global Warning 5. A Room With A V.U. 6. Destroy After Reading 7. Treasure Chase 8. Krap Radio 9. In Orbit 10. Deathproof 11. Pyramidome 12. Morpheus 13. Volcano

VOODOO SIX   First Hit For Free
In 2006, the British band put out their debut CD, “Feed My Soul”. Their label didn’t promote the record, and rolling into 2007, the band was still virtually unknown. Voodoo Six brought in new management, and Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Aerosmith, Metallica, Van Halen) who remixed the album. Voodoo Six didn’t stop there. They also added the killer new tune, “Faith”, to their album, “First Hit For Free”. So how is the new disc? If you missed their debut, then “First Hit For Free” is an excellent new way to check out Voodoo Six.

A new band of exceptional class is born: Alex Beyrodt´s VOODOO CIRCLE. Alex is well-known throughout the Rock & Metal scene as the mastermind of SILENT FORCE, former guitarist of SINNER and tour guitarist of PRIMAL FEAR. His exceptional compositions and instrumental skills secured him highest respect from other musicians and a strong worldwide fan base. In Japan , where quality is still the most important aspect when it comes to music, he is hailed as a “guitar hero” and fills the venues. Alex chose to walk in huge footsteps with VOODOO CIRCLE , because the immense impact and influence that bands like Rainbow and Deep Purple had, are undeniable. But if there is just one German musician who can fill this big boots and arouse with new energy, we definitely talk about Alex Beyrodt. Not to forget, it needs a special kind of stage presence, charisma and the ability to “let the guitar do the talking”, so every listener can feel it deep down in his spine. Alex´ 60´s Strat guitar can give you exactly this - all in the tradition of the true heroes of Rock guitar. Now Alex has founded a new band, that is deeply rooted in classic Hard Rock: VOODOO CIRCLE . The band´s name will soon be known for first class musicianship and the ability to evoke pure magic. Here we have Alex Beyrodt (guitars), David Readman on vocals, Mel Gaynor (drums), Mat Sinner (bass) and Jimmy Kresic on keyboards. „The legendary bands of the 70´s raised their best song ideas in extensive jam sessions and they possessed the gift to express something through the music. Nowadays this spirit seems to got lost somehow. Now I follow this “ideal” with VOODOO CIRCLE . Back to vintage sounds, extensive jams of great musicians, sweaty live gigs and pure delight in playing.” -Alex Beyrodt- Tracklist: 1. Spewing Lies 2. Desperate Heart 3. Kingdom Of The Blind 4.

VOYAGER   I Am The Revolution
"I don't care what you call this band: prog, metal, melodic rock or dark metal, but just call it brilliant." - That's what one reviewer said about the band who stands tall in its uniqueness in today's sea of music. That band is Australia's VOYAGER. Aptly defined as "A metal incarnation of 80s legends A-HA", VOYAGER has always appealed to a massive spectrum of music connoisseurs. For fans of SOILWORK, NIGHTWISH and HIM, right through to those who embrace the neoclassical masters MUSE, this Australian band combines it all into a melting pot of incredible melodies and arrangements. Voyagers third album "I am the reVolution" is a journey into the overloaded information age, with a sound so versatile and unique that is is simply unforgettable ... the reVolution begins HERE!

VOYEUR   S/T
It would be my guess that only people in the local Bay Area as well as a hand full of die hard rock 'n' rollers will have ever heard of these guys, but let me tell you that every hard rock fan will know about them soon. I got the tip off on these guys many years back from a dear friend of mine and ever since that very day it was my mission to find this great band, Voyeur. Voyeur are compiled together from various lesser known local Bay Area hair bands. Like most bands when starting off, Voyeur had dreams of world domination. Unfortunately Voyeur were just another late 80's hard rock group with amazing talent that were continuously overlooked by major labels. In Voyeur's short life, they played along side many great hard rock acts such as Flame, Vain, Murder Bay, Babylon A.D. and Mad Anthony. Naturally adopting a similar sound the their local band mates.
