Since
releasing their debut EP "Black Smoke Rising" back in May, Greta Van
Fleet have developed a fan base that most bands would dream of. Their
music has been compare to the early days of Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple
and their latest tour is a complete sell out. Now, they return once
again with a new "double" EP titled "From The Fires." It will be
released on November 10 and includes the four songs from their first EP
and four brand new recordings.
They
kick off their new album with pounding rhythm of "Safari Song," before
reaching the first new song of the release, "Edge Of Darkness," which
carries a bluesy vibe driven by the song's sweet guitar riff. The set
continues with the more laid-back, acoustic rock of "Flower Power" as
the melody will surely stick in your brain. The first cover song of the
set is an emotional version of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come,"
which shows how much the band has matured in the delivery of their
music. After their break-through single, "Highway Tune," the
album's second cover song is Fairport Convention's "Meet On The Ledge"
as Greta Van Fleet show their love of the classics. Their new 8-song
release wraps up with another new original song "Talk On The Street,"
which is oozing with soul and "Black Smoke Rising" from their earlier EP
of the same name. Greta Van Fleet have shows sold out through to the end of the year. To find out more about their new "double" EP "From The Fires," please visit gretavanfleet.com.
Progressive
rock band, Spock's Beard released 12 studio albums between 1995-2016.
Founding member Neal Morse (Transatlantic) left the band in 2002 to
pursue other avenues of music and his final album with the band was a
double-concept album titled "Snow." Now every year, Neal Morse puts on a
weekend of music called "Morsefest," which allows him to perform with
his many different bands, including the Neal Morse Band, Transatlantic
and in 2016 he reunited with Spock's Beard. During that reunion, the
original band performed the entire concept album "Snow" for the first
time live.
To
capture that moment, the show was filmed in high-definition and
recorded live and will be released on November 10th in multiple formats
like a 2CD/2DVD digipak, 3LP vinyl set or as a 2 disc Blu-ray. There is
also a deluxe version that includes 2CD/2DVD/2 Blu-ray, a 48-page
artbook, poster and postcards. The cameras captured every angle
possible, whether it was on stage or from the front row, you feel like
an intricate part of the music. It's great to see the interaction
between the members of the band, some of whom have not played together
for almost 15 years. Witnessing the audience singing along to every word
during the encore is simply magical for this band's extensive legacy.
Also included in this set is an hour long documentary showing the
"behind the scenes" of Spock's Beard performing "Snow" live complete for
the first time. Neal
Morse stated that this was "one of the finest live concert packages of
which I have ever been involved." To find out more about the new live
release from Spock's Beard, please visit radiantrecords.com.
Arriving October 13th was the debut album titled "The Dark Project" from
the heavy metal/hip-hop band Fragile Mortals. It features the dual
vocal attack of Darryl McDaniels (Run DMC) and Rob Dukes (Generation
Kills, Exodus) along with a core band that injects the music with power
and energy. Their new 9-song release begins with the nearly 8-minute
romp of "Whispers Of Death" as McDaniels leads the way on this opening
track, before Dukes hardcore vocals brings the song to the darkside. The
mix of hip-hop and metal work perfectly on the epic doom of "Suicide,"
before Fragile Morgals pick-up the tempo for the hard-hitting arena
rocker of "Fired Up." They wrap up their new album with the hard rock
blast of the Rolling Stones' cover "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)."
