Flitcraft are hailing from Down Under, meaning from mighty Australian scene where I am always glad to discover great band from across the globe, halfway across the world. Flitcraft are spawn of one Phillip T. King, known for his work as a guitarist/vocalist for Butterfly and singer for Galaxy. This album contains nine songs of spacy, a bit psychodelic metal mixed with progressive and hard rock influences. This band sounds like an amalgamation of King’s previous work, mix of psych space rock and melodic speed metal. There are songs like ‘Error Era’ on this one, more oriented into speed/melodic metal with anthemic melodies, double bass drum work and great chorus, but also space prog rock psychodelia metal of ‘Earth Is Not A Perfect Sphere’ lends much to Maiden but also all those seventies prog rock bands. Vocals are great, mixture of Kai Hansen-like voice and Rob Halford’s lower octaves. There are also dirty hard n heavy rock influenced guitar work riffs like in ‘I Forgot Everything(Research At Dive Bars)’ having that beautiful melody in there. Also songs ‘Galactic Road Trip(Wayworn Travellers)’ and ‘Smoko With Sisyphus’ are my personal highlights there. This is original and inspiring opus to listen to.
Bourbon House released their new record containing eleven songs. The music of Bourbon House can be perfect soundtrack for drinking in smoky bar and listening to great mixture of Southern rock, heavy rock and hard n heavy with superb singer. She is the one whose voice can soar high octaves but also almost angry melodic snarl, depending on the mood of the song, Musicianship is tight and done with strength and conviction, but that would not matter were it not for great songwriting with all of the songs being hits for themselves. From hitters like ‘Resonate’, ‘Villain’ or ‘Blue Magic’ to two acoustic live songs, this band delivers a lesson in hard rock n roll and I am really glad that I discovered this band. This is a no holds barred music, made from fans of rock for fans of rock!
Italian southern/hard-rock act KLEE Project has released a new lyric video for ‘Running Out Of Time’. The new single was recorded and mixed at Memphis Studio in Rome by Roberto Sterpetti, mastering at Elephant Studio by Riccardo Parenti and artwork by Il Colornauta.
About the new single Roberto Sterpetti and Jessie Galante says: ‘It’s simply a song that talks about not wasting any more time to re-unite when two people are in love. Also that life is too short (one stairway to heaven you climb) and you have to get it while you can (seize the day) and not something you should avoid (hand of fate). It’s sort of love trauma and not accepting that the love is over. So the traumatized person is relentless in getting back together with the girl of his dreams. You can’t run and hide!’.
