V.A. – 0dayrox Advanced Releases 2016 – Vol.3
Many major bands and promising newcomers are working on their new albums to be released next year, so let’s take a look to the advanced singles from the most interesting acts of the bunch.
On Vol.1 of this Advances Releases we already presented the lead single from super-group RESURRECTION KINGS, featuring great guitarist Craig Goldy (DIO, GIUFFRIA, ROUGH CUTT), singer Chas West (RED DRAGON CARTEL, TANGO DOWN), bassist Sean McNabb (DOKKEN, GREAT WHITE) and drummer Vinny Appice (DIO, BLACK SABBATH, HEAVEN & HELL). The band is currently working on its debut album for a 2016 release via Frontiers Music Srl, and second single “Distant Prayer” rocks greatly.
Finally, after seven years since the release of their debut CD on Frontiers Music, excellent Finnish AOR / Melodic Rock combo LAND OF TALES are back with a new album in 2016. The advanced single “Kindred Spirits” is a wonderful piece plenty of sharp guitars, keyboards and harmony vocals.
Talking about really good Scandinavian AOR acts, Swedes ELEVENER are mixing their new album to be released in the Spring of 2016. In the meantime, the band has put the track “The Passing of Time” on all major digital platforms. Love this one.
Other well established bands such as British THE TREATMENT, THE CULT or PRIMAL FEAR have their fresh CD’s ready to appear in the first quarter of 2016, and new advanced singles surfaced.
Among the ‘novel’ bands waiting to making it big with their new albums are Norwegian MINDTECH (they always reminded me Crimson Glory), melodic / funk / hard rockers GRAND THEFT CULTURE – their debut EP highly praised on this blog, and Swedes NEWEVA (presented on Vol.2) with another single.
Of special interest for me will be the full length debut of Swedish melodic rockers GRAND SLAM to be released by specialized German label AOR Heaven on January 29th, 2016. The first single is classic Eighties / early Nineties melodic rock inspired music with catchy choruses.
And also the debut of STARDUST, a new band arriving from an atypical country (Hungary) but with an immense love for pure ’80s AOR, and believe me, they are great.
