CAUGHT IN ACTION
Devils Tango
STEELHEART Records is extremely proud to announce the signing of Swedish Melodic Rock / AOR band CAUGHT IN ACTION for its debut-album.
The musicians of CAUGHT IN ACTION have been played an active part of the Rock scene in Sweden for more than three decades. They all have had separate careers in different bigger and smaller local bands as well as they worked as backing-musicians for guesting stars on live stage or in the studio
With various successful gigs on their shoulders, they finally decided that it was the right time to release an album that could include their musical influences (as Deep Purple, Journey, Magnum, Danger Danger) with an updated sound, still keeping their big ’80s roots strong.
Two years in the making and the result is simply awesome, an album that can live up to the big names of the Swedish Melodic Rock like Europe, Alien, Treat and Bad Habit as well as W.E.T and Perfect Plan.

CRASHDIET
Automaton
Crashdïet, the high flying Glam Rock/Sleaze Rock band, formed in Stockholm back in the year 2000 and step in the new millennium with full-throttle speed and excess. Named after an unreleased Guns N''''''''Roses song, the band is inspired by Skid Row, Guns N'''''''' Roses, Kiss, W. A. S. P. , Cinderella, Ratt or GG Allin. Martin Sweet and Peter London refer to the more raw works of the 1980s and see in them that later "everything became polished" and "much too poppy". Crashdïet released their critically acclaimed debut album Rest in Sleaze in 2005, giving them a spring of success in their home country of Sweden and abroad. However, the increasing success brought the first stroke of fate for the group, their frontman Dave Lepard was found dead at his home, the result of a tragic suicide in January 2006. During a Saxon concert in Nottingham in April 2013, Michael Sundén, the manager of Crashdïet, suffered such severe head injuries in a fall that he died a short time later. With a career littered with abuse, tragic deaths and lineup changes, it nearly ended the band more than once, but the band have become known for picking up the pieces and returning to the scene of the crime... every time. The surviving band members and new blood have carried the glam-metal sleaze-rock torch ever since, touring the world and releasing many acclaimed albums. Always staying true to their motto "Go big or stay home. "

CRYSTAL VIPER
The Last Axeman
Their latest studio album entitled "The Cult" is still hot: it came out in 2021, and brought Crystal Viper back to their roots: the traditional and pure Heavy Metal, full of epic melodies, classic riffs and guitar harmonies, ripping solos, and catchy refrains. The band couldn''''t tour properly and promote the album due to pandemic, but instead of sitting and waiting for better times, they decided to record more material.
Their newest release, "The Last Axeman » starts with a new version of the early Crystal Viper classic and fan favorite: "The Last Axeman", and is followed by a brand new song entitled "In The Haunted Chapel" (which like all the songs from the newest album "The Cult" has lyrics inspired by an H.P. Lovecraft story). The band knows their brand of Metal very well, so included is a surprise cover song: remake of "Ulitsa Roz", originally written by the Russian Heavy Metal heroes ARIA. Follows a remake of "It''''s Electric", the classic headbanger of NWOBHM heroes DIAMOND HEAD, then 4 songs taken from "The Cult" album, but recorded live in studio, as part of the #RockOutSessions series. These new, stripped down and rough versions of "The Cult", "Asenath Waite", "Whispers From Beyond" and "Flaring Madness", show the pure and untamed energy of the band, and were also released as a 20 minutes long music video. Crystal Viper are here to stay. They are passionate about Heavy Metal. They represent the Metal Nation !

DEVILS TRAIN
Ashes & Bones
The hell-bound iron horse is picking up speed again and races towards an exciting future with red-hot steaming engines and well-oiled gears … Devil''s Train Are Back! With the band''s ten year anniversary coming up, and two well received albums under their belts, the European answer to Black Label Society, The Dead Daisies and Black Stone Cherry presents us with a killer new long-player. Singer and band master-mind RD Liapakis (Mystic Prophecy/Steel Prophet) joined forces with drum monster Jörg Michael (ex- Saxon/Stratovarius/Axel Rudi Pell/Running Wild…), legend Jens Becker (Grave Digger/ex-Running Wild/ex-X-Wild) and six-string wizard Dan Baune (Lost Sanctuary/ex-Monument). This line-up, which could undoubtedly be dubbed a super-group, delivers a modern yet raw and honest album that bubbles over with visceral energy, southern sleaze and sex appeal. "Ashes & Bones" features a fat and polished contemporary production, without ironing out any of that good ol'' fashioned Hard Rock attitude. All the guys deliver a stellar performance front to back, which sounds at times unbelievably vigorous and aggressive, at other times easy and laid back. Every note has the feeling of the quartet''s love for traditional Blues and Rock''n''Roll, but wrapped in a fresh and exciting new sound. Devil''s Back are damn tough, Devil''s Train do their thing and Devil''s Train are absolutely authentic!

Veni Vidi Ignis
Wow! Is this a celebration of rock, or what? People who dig SKID ROW, ALICE COOPER, W.A.S.P or HARDCORE SUPERSTAR will love “Veni Vidi Ignis“ for sure. Swiss outfit D’Or around Andy Dormann (v/g, CHARING CROSS) offer catchy anthems, powerful guitars and a remarkable amount of dirt in their sound. Giving advice in terms of appetizers is actually pretty difficult as all tracks are equally strong but the title track certainly is a great start into the record.

The album quickly gained popularity in the Southeast region of the United States and as a result a record contract was offered a year later.

EVIL INVADERS
Shattering Reflection
2022 release. Belgian Metal frontrunners Evil Invaders unleash their third album, Shattering Reflection. It took the band almost five years to craft a new record and it has been undoubtably worth the wait. Evil Invaders have found the perfect balance between fast, mid and slow tempo songs focusing on strong choruses, touching lyrics and even some progressive touches that will grab every Heavy Metal fan by the throat and screaming for more! Evil Invaders''''s Shattering Reflection is promising to be a game-changer for the Belgian 4-piece as the band seems to have found their own formula to turn Heavy Metal into another extreme direction.

FELSKINN
Enter The Light
Felskinn takes the next step with tehir fourth album "Enter the light". After their well received 2018 output "Mind Over Matter, singer and founder Andy Portmann put together a new Line up in 2019 including Martin Rauber (Wolfpakk) and Tom Graber (ex-Crystal Ball) on Guitars, Ronnie Wolf (Lunatica) on Drums and his longtime Bandmate Beat Schaub on Bass. It clicked right away. Felskinn played a couple of dozen shows, festivals and played as support alongside international acts like The Hollywood Vampires and Deadland Ritual. Inspired from the live energy, Felskinn entered the studio in May 2021. Like on the previous record, they went to Denmark to Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Arch Enemy, Pretty Maids) for mixing and mastering. "Enter The Light" is a perfect example for a powerful, melodic, aggressive Heavy Metal record still with a positive message and a wide range of dynamics. Heavy Riffing, a pumping rhythm section, larger than life vocals and 12 brand new songs that can enlighten an entire stadium. Everything a true metalhead is looking for.

GOODBYE JUNE
See Where The Night Goes
Produced by Grammy Award winning producer Paul Moak, See Where The Night Goes is the hotly-anticipated third studio album from Nashville rock n roll prodigies Goodbye June. 11 tracks of the very finest modern day rock music, with a twist of southern twang and washed down with a shot of blues. A riot-worthy album of runaway rock n roll rooted in southern blues, See Where The Night Goes brings swinging grooves, incendiary twin-attack guitars, relentless rhythm and vocals that give Steven Tyler a run for his money. Goodbye June collide with the most legendary of rock influences whilst making their own unique gleaming print on the canvas of modern rock. This is an album not to be missed by music fans who trust in rock ''''''''n'''''''' roll to liberate them from the mundane.

Special Deluxe Collector''''''''''''''''s Edition / Fully Remastered Audio shaped from 24 BIT digital technology / A Masterclass in power metal / 16-page full colour booklet - 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork with previously unseen photos and new interviews - In the early ''''''''''''''''80s the heavy metal scene was exploding in virtually every territory, not least of all in North America where artists such as Quiet Riot, Dio and Def Leppard were scoring big successes. It was no surprise then to find that the scene was awash with new acts eager to muscle in on this pot of gold. Icon, from Phoenix, Arizona, was one such band, with all the moves and grooves to make a play for stardom, and for a short while they looked set to be the next big thing. They were first noticed by proven talent scout Mike Varney who was making a splash with his Shrapnel label, initially coming to his attention via a self-financed EP released under the name of Schoolboys and offered them the chance to record an album. They were over the moon to accept his offer and subsequently set about tracking their album in Cotati, California. The results were viewed as something special and, not unsurprisingly, major label record company interest was piqued, resulting in the band being signed to Capitol Records. Due to another group called Schoolboys, the band''''''''''''''''s name was changed to Icon and this, their debut album, was issued in 1984. As an explosive five piece, fronted by singer Clifford Davis and helmed by twin guitarists Dan Wexler and John Aquilino, the music was expertly crafted very much in the now style of RATT, Motley Crue and Dokken. Sadly, due to circumstances beyond this line-ups control and despite recording a trailblazing follow-up album ''''''''''''''''Night Of The Crime'''''''''''''''', the band''''''''''''''''s potential was cruelly ignored at the time and they lost their Capitol records deal. Check out the tracks ''''''''''''''''World War'''''''''''''''', ''''''''''''''''On Your Feet'''''''''''''''' and ''''''''''''''''Under My Gun'''''''''''''''' for an example of a wasted opportunity.

JUNKYARD DRIVE
Electric Love
Ever since 2014, Junkyard Drive has been across half the world. With more than 100 concerts played, over five million streams and two records to this day, they''''''''ve solidly planted their flag on the international rock scene, playing the big stages as the one in Sweden Rock Festival and doing the big tours with, for instance, Eclipse. After the success of their most recent album "Black Coffee" with new faces and ten new razor sharp songs, the band is now ready with their next record "Electric Love". "Electric Love" marks a newfound maturity in the group''''''''s universe. Armed with solid and ferocious riffs, the album exposes a hitherto unseen sincerity in the lyrical themes. The teenage days are over in favour of stories about self development, inner tensions and love. The album is recorded in the legendary Medley Studios, produced by Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes, Jesper Binzer, Electric Guitars) and mixed/mastered by Erik Martensson (Eclipse). The teenage days might be over, but they remain to be the greatest Danish rock band (below 40)

A Pleade To Darkness
Imagine your planet at the end of its life and you have the burden to preserve the knowledge. So you take a spaceship for a trip to L.A. in 2049 meanwhile you pass through a portal between 1953 to 1986 and also you change your skin to save the human race from a virus. “A Pledge to Darkness” is the third album of the band, following the highly acclaimed “Welcome Storm” (Limb Music). The record is a huge step forward in the band''''''''s career as it is heterogeneous, in some ways darker than the previous ones. It brings with it nuances ranging from thrash to melodic death metal, including some death metal vocals in order to give more emphasis to certain passages. The album is a composition of different stylistic approaches that converge into the power/heavy roots that still remain at the basis of their sound. The songs range from a classic power metal opener with spatial atmospheres up to a futuristic western ballad, from speed metal tracks - that wink at thrash and melodic death metal - to 80''''''''s synthwaves tunes, from mid tempo hymns in Teutonic/industrial style to the almost omnipresent Cyberpunk themes. “A Pledge to Darkness” remains in all respects a power metal album but with some dosed contaminations.

Wildside - Remastered -
DESCRIPTION
Special Deluxe Collector''''s Edition / Fully Remastered Audio shaped from 24 BIT digital technology / Produced by Bruce Fairbairn (Bon Jovi. Scorpions). Includes ''''Notorious'''', ''''Walkin'''' On Fire'''' & ''''Wildside'''' / 16 page full colour booklet - 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork with previously unseen photos and new interviews - THERE''''S NO ARGUING that Loverboy were one of Canada''''s most successful exports during the ''''80s, racking up a string of platinum albums at home and the USA and having several hit singles as well. With four huge selling albums under their belt the band refocused their attention by returning to Vancouver''''s Little Mountain Studios to cut ''''Wildside'''', utilising the original production team of Bruce Fairbairn, with engineers Bob Rock and Mike Fraser. All was looking rosy but it soon became clear that things were not as straight forward as they had hoped for. For this album the band once again fully opened up to the opportunity to work with outside songwriters, including names like Bryan Adams that had graced previous tracks, and several new contributors: notably Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora. There were less famous names on the selection as well such as Todd Cerney, Gerald O''''Brien and Alfie Zappacosta (all well known amongst the melodic rock cognoscenti). Once again the production and arrangements were razor sharp, confirming the band''''s penchant for showcasing solid and catchy hard rock. Issued in late 1987, the record failed to emulate the massive success of previous releases, stalling both at home and abroad and leaving everyone bemused as to the reason for the commercial soft performance. But the album is still hugely impressive and there was no drop in quality, with tremendous songs like ''''Notorious'''', ''''Walking On Fire'''', ''''That''''s Were My Money Goes'''', and the title track itself.

MICHAEL MONROE
I Live Too Fast To Die Young
2022 release from the former Hanoi Rocks frontman, the follow-up to 2019''''s critically acclaimed One Man Gang. Not even a pandemic could stop Monroe and his band from throwing down the tightest, leanest, meanest and most goddamn fun rock ''''n'''' roll music of the year, and the likes of "Young Drunks & Old Alcoholics", "All Fighter" and the punky "Murder the Summer of Love" show the crisp electricity of CBGB-style punk with glitter-crusted melodies wrapped around the riffs. There''''s also expansive, Stones-tinged saunters such as "Can''''t Stop Falling Apart" and "Everybody''''s Nobody", while the title track takes aim between your eyes off a driving back-beat and a defiant chorus dripping with Monroe''''s irrepressible attitude. Recorded at Inkfish Studios in Helsinki, Finland between November/December 2021, the album enjoys several guests including Guns N'''' Roses guitar legend Slash, who solos and provides additional guitars on the title track. With I Live Too Fast to Die Young, it is clear Monroe is swaggering into the summer with a triumphant roar to offer you the real rock ''''n'''' roll escape of 2022.

MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP
Universal - W 2 Bonus Tracks -
2022 release. There are few rock guitarists on this planet who have had such a lasting influence on so many renowned musicians as Michael Schenker. Universal features all the strengths of this exceptional musician: first-rate songs with anthemic melodies, catchy guitar riffs and inspiring solos. Like it''''''''''''''''s predecessor Immortal (2019), Universal was produced by Michael Schenker and Michael Voss. As we have come to expect from him, Schenker has once again enlisted a number of prestigious fellow musicians for the recording of his new studio production, among them, as main vocalist, Ronnie Romero (Rainbow, Vandenberg), Michael Kiske (Helloween), Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear) and Graham Bonnet (ex-Rainbow), drummers Simon Phillips (Toto, The Who), Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, Foreigner), Bobby Rondinelli (Rainbow, Blue Öyster Cult) and Bodo Schopf (Eloy), as well as legendary bassists Bob Daisley (Black Sabbath), Barry Sparks (Malmsteen, Dokken) and Barend Courbois (Blind Guardian, Zakk Wylde), with Tony Carey as a very special guest.

Limited Earbook packaging. There are few rock guitarists on this planet who have had such a lasting influence on so many renowned musicians as Michael Schenker. With his outstandingly fluid style, inexhaustible wealth of ideas and instinctive feel for hooks and melodies, Michael Schenker is a living legend who, despite his longstanding and distinguished history, still impresses with his unflagging energy and drive. The blond axeman from Sarstedt began his international career in the early 1970s with the Scorpions, achieved worldwide fame after joining British rock group UFO and then seamlessly continued his exceptional global success story under his own name, as well as with acts such as Michael Schenker Group (MSG for short), Temple Of Rock and Michael Schenker Fest. Schenker and his career, which has spanned more than fifty years, are absolute exceptions in the otherwise short-lived music industry.

Comprised of vocalist/guitarist Jim Wilson (Mother Superior), guitarist Scott Ian (Anthrax), bassist Joey Vera (Armored Saint), drummer John Tempesta (White Zombie, The Cult) and vocalist Pearl Aday (Pearl), Motor Sister was originally formed as a Mother Superior covers band made up of diehard fans - and aided by sharing the same frontman - playing the songs for the love of doing so. Bassist Joey Vera: "Our first record ''''''''Ride'''''''' was a collection of songs we re-recorded from the band Mother Superior which was great, but I''''''''m stoked that we had this chance to actually get into a room together and write this batch of all new material. We keep in mind where this band originated from but we get to take it to totally different levels."

The former record had been co-written with Bob Daisley and featured Don Airey of Rainbow and famed metal drummer Tommy Aldridge, but it was on the heels of The Ultimate Sin release that Osbourne took the stage in Kansas City, Missouri, with new drummer Randy Castillo and bassist Phil Soussan.

PRIMITAI
Violence Of The Skies
Primitai''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s album "Violence Of The Skies" is a culmination of the growing achievements and team spirit of the band members in recent years which saw their most extensive touring yet, conquering of new territories and signing with Rock Of Angels Records. With an increasing confidence, the band has pushed its classic metal influenced sound to the boundaries with power and progressive metal, much like bands such as Savatage or Queensrÿche did upon taking the torch from Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. The sci-fi feel of the atmospheric synth and orchestral scoring complement the album''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s space themed concept - a story about escaping the end of the world, seeking new victories and facing unknown dangers. Up-tempo tracks like "Stars Are My Guide", "Warriors Of Time" and "The Uprising" convey the excitement of new beginnings, while the melodic "Valley Of Darkness" and "The Violence Of The Skies" express the loneliness of leaving everything behind. The whole album is a musical journey and exercise in versaitility, ranging from long epics like "The Storm Kings" to compact hard-hitters like "I''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''ll Live Again". With concerts off in 2020, Primitai celebrated musical friendships with guest appearances from several esteemed musicians. Paul Quinn of Saxon, a huge personal influence and one of those guitarists whose riffs pioneered heavy metal itself in the late 70s/early 80s, lays down a fine solo on "Put To The Sword". US based former guitarist Tom Draper guests on "The Storm Kings" - his enduring friendship and team player attitude makes it no surprise to see him now hired by Carcass. Virtuosos Mladen Pecovic and Vladimir Djedovic had first joined Primitai at an open air festival in Serbia and their instant chemistry inspired Primitai to invite them to record guitar solos and keyboards for "Warriors Of Time". Longtime Spanish co-lead guitarist Sergio Giron was still able to contribute his guitar acrobatics and musical ideas to the album despite the pandemic and will continue to guest with the band when conditions allow. In addition to these collaborations, several highly regarded figures in music production played an important role on the album. Tom Keech, who engineered all previous album recordings, oversaw production and mixing. The rhythm section was captured live at Middlefarm Studios with producer Pete Miles and guitars were re-amped with amp guru Lasse Lammert''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s (Alestorm, GloryHammer) wall of Marshall and EVH amplifiers. Mastering was handled by multi Grammy winning engineer Alan Douches (Motörhead, Mastodon) at West West Side Music and the striking cover art was designed by Stan W. Decker (Megadeth, DragonForce).

Reckless Love, the flamboyant Finnish rockers who burst spectacularly onto the UK scene in 2010, have unveiled the artwork for their upcoming album ''''''''Animal Attraction''''''''. Reckless Love will release their second studio album on September 26th through Spinefarm Records.
Given the quartet''''''''s recent successes both at home and abroad, including two appearances at last year''''''''s Download Festival, a full headline tour of the UK, an appearance at Firefest in Nottingham, plus stellar reviews for their self-titled debut album (recently re-issued via Spinefarm in upgraded form), there is now much anticipation for the follow-up.

Spirit - Japan Cd -
Spirit� is the third regular studio album from RECKLESS LOVE, the band around former CRASH DIENT singer Olli Herman. The band continues the successful formula of the previous releases, so �Spirit� delivers another full dose of DEF LEPPARD- and POISON-infected Melodic Rock, spiced with a big shot of classic Scandinavian flavor. Songs like the dynamic �Bad Lovin�� or the atmospheric ��Dying To Live� are real winners, but on a couple of songs (e. g. �Night On Fire�) the band delivers a pinch too much ear candy. However, Melodic Rockers go and buy! M. SP�TH

ST - Japan Cd -
The wave of new Hard Rock bands from Scandinavia doesn’t end. The latest discovery are RECKLESS LOVE from Finland. In comparison with bands like H.E.A.T. or TITAN their sound shows a bigger poser attitude, so they remind you a little bit of acts like MÖTLEY CRÜE and HANOI ROCKS. On a couple of songs you can also hear some influences ranging from Alice Cooper to Billy Idol. The guys are definitely on a good way, but the vocals by Oli Herman sound a bit flat and some songs have turned out way to polished. A few more rough edges would have been welcomed. However, the positive aspects about RECKLESS LOVE’s debut record clearly prevail, so checking it out is still recommended. M. SPÄTH

The album features 11 songs composed in the spring of 2020, during the Italian lockdown. The title is a reminder of those months when, due to the pandemic, people were forced indoor in a sort of ''''''''prison'''''''', despite all the comforts and the safety in everyone''''''''s home. At the same time, "The Golden Cage" is also a play on words recalling the expression "The Golden Age", to highlight once again the gap between these years of big troubles and fears due to Covid-19 and the happier times in the past (also for music). So, with this title, the band wants to imply the hope for a general rebirth after the pandemic, especially for the rock scene.

SANDNESS
Play Your Part
Italian hard-rockers SANDNESS are back with their fourth album “Play Your Part”! The album follows their two previous records released on Rockshots Records, 2020 EP "Enter Please" (2020) and 2019 LP "Untamed". The new album is produced, mixed and mastered by Michele Guaitoli and it will feature twelve original tracks including a bonus cover version of KISS'''''''' "Turn On The Night". "Play Your Part” is a different kind of animal from their previous releases as, due to the lockdown, the band had more time to think and work on the songs. They also worked a lot more with their producer Michele, who helped them to bring their music to the next level. The new album is more mature and inspired by different styles: hard rock, classic rock, heavy metal, 70’s rock n’roll, but also pop music from different decades. Since their first independent release in 2010, Sandness has toured Europe multiple times, playing small venues and festivals in Latvia, France, Slovakia, Austria, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Belgium, Netherlands and Croatia. Over the years, the band shared the stage with renowned musicians such as Adam Bomb, L.A. Guns, Tygers Of Pan Tang, Reckless Love, Nazareth and Lita Ford.

SARAYASIGN
Throne Of Gold
In a cinematic experience, music can propel narrative swiftly forward or slow it down. It often lifts mere dialogue into the realm of pure poetry. It’s the communicating link between the screen and the audience, reaching out and enveloping all into one single experience. That’s what we try to do through our storytelling concept and our music.
Like the exampled album “Operation: Mindcrime”, our songs are stories, and they are all drawn from the fictional world of SARAYA.
Through the eyes and words of the storyteller comes a compelling story that started out as a fantasy for creator Jesper Lindbergh almost 25 years and later due to various reasons stored away as his personal notes in hope someday a chance for them to be realized would emerge.
Now, over two decades later, they are all dusted off and reforged into a series of tales, ready to take listener on a unique journey as SARYASIGN was formed and these stories could finally be unfolded. The initial story will be told over the course of four albums and Throne Of Gold is the beginning.
SARAYASIGN is a cinematic melodic hard rock band, and we took all that we learned to love about movies and poured it all into the mix of this concept. With guitar driven roots from the late 70''''''''''''''''s, and the cinematic experience of the 21:st century, layered with strings and storytelling driven, melody-focused songs with an edge, the listener will be in for a treat.

Back To Eden
“Back To Eden“, album number two of Hamburg-based rockers (ex- Chalice) who deliver great melodies, epic arrangements and numerous surprises is a real gem. Let alone the title track shine. Frontman Sebastian Zierof obviously has no limits and can sing basically everything. “Forever King“, a duet with Ronnie Monroe (ex METAL CHURCH), and the slow “3 Seconds“, the latter being on the album in two versions are suitable first encounters with this cool record. Wow! Well done, guys!

STEVE DALTON
Primitive
“Primitive“ is the solo project from Englishman STEVE DALTON (g, STEEL CITY), now living in Sweden. Stylistically somewhere between classic melodic rock and power metal. All instruments by the man himself and vocals mostly by Brazilian producer and vocalist Raphael Gazal. Some really cool tracks but also a few rather average tracks can be found (“Rise Above Victory“). Highlights are the energetic “Shapeshifters“ and the lyric-wise pretty current “2020“. STEVE DALTON is a name to remember.

THE CRUEL INTENTIONS
No Sign Of Relief
With over 1 million streams on Spotify for their first few self-released singles and the international recognition for their insanely intense live shows, The Cruel Intentions present a unique blend and a modern day Guns N’ Roses meets Sex Pistols meets Buckcherry style. The Cruel Intentions was founded in the wake of 2015, by Mats Wernerson, Lizzy DeVine, Kristian Solhaug and Eiliv Sagrusten, whereas Eiliv has been replaced as a drummer, by Robin Nilsson. All of the members have been involved with different bands previously; Notably, Lizzy DeVine lived several years in Los Angeles where he was the singer and songwriter of Vains of Jenna, a band that got their breakthrough with performances in the movies Jackass/Viva La Bam/Kat Von Dee’s LA Ink, together with touring multiple times throughout the states. He takes with him the atmosphere from his experiences, and blends it into a nuance of the no-fucks-given culture from that American era.
The band creates a young, original and modern expression, albeit with strong roots in the history of rock. This way they appeal to people of all ages and across genres. Their music conveys a wide range of emotional topics, with a light mix of optimism and pessimism as their basic recipe, although the tragicomical view of the world excels throughout the album. The dichotomy of the dark side of fun, contra the bright views of making mistakes; the loss of falling off in life and not fitting into society, contra the bravery with daring to be yourself, to go your own ways – these are the underlying themes in this album.
In technical terms, the band plays around the esthetics of bands such as Guns ‘N Roses and Mötley Crue, and carries on the legacy of good old Rock ‘N Roll into the contemporary youth of today. The songs are fast paced, humorous and at times really hard-hitting, especially with the assistance of Europe’s most clashing cowbell. This album reeks of confidence, and will certainly smite you with its persuasive musical turns. It’s groovy, angry, comical and sassy – bringing out the emotions of anger, joy, fun and confidence in the listener, all packaged beautifully in their 11 track album with the title ‘No Sign of Relief’.

Special Deluxe Collector''''s Edition / Fully Remastered Audio shaped from 24 BIT digital technology / Includes ''''Caught Between The Tigers'''', ''''Forever Shine On'''' & ''''Intuition'''' / 16 page full colour booklet - 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork with previously unseen photos and new interviews - THEY MAY NOT be a household name but a section of hard rock fans hold TNT in the highest of regards. That they never sold millions or hardly made a dent in the US charts does not appear to have diminished their stature in the eyes of those that have been exposed to their majestic brand of grandiose rock. Indeed, the more the band''''s small but select following continues to champion their legacy, the more their reputation appears to be enhanced. ''''Intuition'''' was the highly anticipated follow-up to their previous album, the universally applauded ''''Tell No Tales'''' and continued to attract accolades. With all eyes on a triumphant follow-up album, the band made a concerted effort to drill down deep and concoct a record rich in melody and hard rockin'''' goodness. Once again, producer Bjørn Nessjø was in the driving seat and helped to extract tremendous performances, honing in on serious riffs and helping both guitarist Ronni Le Tekrø and vocalist Tony Harnell pull out all the stops. With songs such as ''''Caught Between The Tigers'''', ''''Forever Shine On'''', and the title track, it was clear that the band had used their time wisely working hard to finely hone their style. Whilst ''''Intuition, issued in early 1989, hit the spot creatively, the commercial impact of the album faltered and despite gallant headline touring plans in the US and Japan, momentum wasn''''t sufficient to propel the band to a higher level of achievement. Nonetheless, TNT''''s legacy was now cast in stone and, not surprisingly, the band''''s reputation has continued to grow and resonate louder than ever.

DESCRIPTION
Special Deluxe Collector''''s Edition / Fully Remastered Audio shaped from 24 BIT digital technology / Includes ''''Everyone''''s A Star'''' & ''''10,000 Lovers (In One)'''' / 16-page full colour booklet - 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork with previously unseen photos and new interviews - SCANDINAVIA HAS produced many exceptional bands over the years, with Noway''''s TNT being one of the most impressive. Vocalist Tony Harnell, who joined for their second album, is, in fact American and was put in touch with the band by Mike Varney of Shrapnel Records. Singing alongside superguitarist Ronni Le Tekrø, the pair turned the group into a sparkling diamond fit for world domination. Indeed, the twin axis of Le Tekrø and Harnell is considered to be one of the greatest ever couplings of the melodic rock scene. Recorded in Norway and New York, by producer Bjørn Nessjø to exacting standards, the record was immediately hailed by critics and fans as a masterpiece. Harnell and Le Tekrø crafted a sound that pushed at the very edges of audio wizardry. Le Tekrø''''s guitar playing was immediately hailed as the natural successor to Yngwie Malmsteen whilst Harnell''''s vocal delivery was compared to Freddie Mercury, leading to comparisons with the imperial majesty of Queen. Indeed, the band left no stone unturned in their quest to push at the boundaries of what could be achieved in an era where flamboyance ruled the world. Released in 1987, on PolyGram Records, the album contains a stellar selection of songs, including ''''Everyone''''s A Star'''', ''''Child''''s Play'''' and ''''10,000 Lovers (In One)'''', a song that became a smash hit in Norway and raised their profile in the US and across the world. The album also includes a number of mesmerising bite-sized instrumental guitar compositions from Le Tekrø, and is regarded as one of the most comprehensive statements of musical intent ever crafted.
