Biography MELDRUM is a multinational hard rock/metal band that has toured worldwide with Lemmy Kilmister's Motörhead, Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society, Sepultura, Danzig, Nashville Pussy, as well as sharing the stage with many more. Touting a combination of mammoth vocal styles along with aggressively melodic vocals, mind bending guitar riffs and a rhythm section that creates fiercely bombastic grooves, this is what gives MELDRUM their unique, cutting edge sound. Featuring a new lineup in 2008, their newest members include metal vocalist Michele Madden (Tourette's) and Laura Christine (Warface) on bass guitar. Michelle Meldrum, raised by parents in the entertainment business, began her career when she and drummer, Gene Hoglan, started their first band Wargod. Gene went on to notoriety with Death, Dark Angel, Testament, Fear Factory, Strapping Young Lad and many others, while Michelle founded Phantom Blue (on Shrapnel, Roadrunner, and Geffen Records). While her career was flourishing
IN THIS MOMENT began work on the new album just a few months following the departures of drummer Jeff Fabb and guitarist Blake Bunzel, who left the band late last year in order to join the backing group of "American Idol" finalist James Durbin. Fabb and Bunzel have since been replaced by Tom Hane (THYATEIRA) and Randy Weitzel(FLATLINE, 3/13, AMERICAN MASSACRE), respectively.
Commented singer Maria Brink: "There are no words to describe how excited we are... We are on fire with this record. It's by far the most powerful material we have ever written.
"IN THIS MOMENT has gone through some big changes. I admit sometimes change is scary, especially when facing the unknown, but in this case everything has been perfectly meant to be. It's a brave, dark, hard-hitting album that will make you feel dirty inside, but still wanting more."

This quintet from Lillestrøm makes a clear and good debut album, "Muriel's Dance" on Ovis Records. It is quite clear where the band puts the list, and should probably be something for everyone who likes a little sludge, metal and rock. The music itself is probably not as exciting for the seasoned, perhaps, but there are some things that pull up on the execution. Among others it has scope to Daniel (vocals), which makes up well for the album. The jump from a little more Phil Anselmo on the rock-sections, and second, maybe Dan Svanøe the softer, shows that it does well to have some experience in the field vocalist. I assume that this is something the singer (s) will continue to stay focused on, since it did well at several places during this album.

One can say that there are no surprises left for us in music. We seem to have heard everything and everyone in all possible combinations and styles. Modern music lovers are very well-versed and it’s not an easy thing to surprise them. We live in the age where no pure genres are allowed though the mastery of performance is valued more than ever, people tend to mix and blend everything, change styles, try to collect the most distinctive features of each and make something original and truly eclectic. We know many bands combining heavy-metal with electronic and synthetic sounding, experimenting with folk instruments and very often a band sticks to the one chosen. So TRI STATE CORNER displays the similar situation: a bouzouki, which sounds much like an acoustic guitar in the Spanish style defines the approach of the band and becomes “the feature”. But it does sound original and sophisticated and I wonder why no one played like that before.

I'm giving this a 4. to me, the only reason I can't score a 5 for this band's songs at the moment is that the screamo vocals are not up to the league of the clean. This band will no doubt score some airplay but it's mainly the clean vocals setting it aside from other bands. This guy's voice is really strong, and does really interesting harmonies. The music is very good. Great job, don't take what I said about the screamo too harshly.

Vs. the Sea of Disease is a record that works on multiple levels, though some tend to be better than others. The album is really at its best when Feel Never Real do their best Rev Theory impersonation and infuse their southern tinged rock with some extra balls and gritty heft (“Drunkstar Anthem,” “Less Hopeless”), but still, it’s not too shabby when the band fires off one radio ready tune after another (“Sea of Disease,” “Always Over”). If Vs. the Sea of Disease was more of the former and less the latter, it would be better for it. Though Feel Never Real sound better during those moments they decide to keep the gas pedal pressed firmly to the floor, charging ahead guns ablaze, nothing should be taken away from their tempered moments, moments in which could find the band some airplay sooner than later. One recurring theme of Vs. the Sea of Disease is the talents of singer Tim Jones, a rock frontman whose voice happens to fall somewhere in-between Shinedown’s Brent Smith and Alterbridge’s Myles Kennedy.

If you have not come across UK rock band Skarlett Riot yet that will soon change with the release of their new EP Villain on March 19th. Bristling with formidable sounds, confrontational attitude, and a bearing of its fangs, the release is mighty; a deeply gratifying feast of heavy and explosive riffs fuelled by instinctive melodies and barely controlled energy.Villain stomps all over the senses and then goes back to give them another kicking after reviving them with its invigorating charm and infectious sounds.
Formed in 2010 Skarlett Riot has already garnered fine praise and acclaim for their live shows and debut EP. Their sharing of stages with the likes of Taking Dawn, Crashdiet, Glamour of the Kill, Black Spiders, Forever Never, Deaf Havana, and Francesqa and recent successful appearance at the Tramlines Festival set them as a band to watch somethingVillain strongly confirms. With a sound that takes the essences of the likes of Paramore and Halestorm and twists them into a stylish rod of melodic prowess to fuse with the bands aggressive and intense rock n roll, the band are about to make a powerful statement with the EP, an affirmation and declaration of intent and power from one of the best emerging UK bands.
