I have been working hard (rehearsing and recording) with my main band Soul Sign, and we will have some exciting news soon...

 

New incredible gear has found me including the powerful Blackstar Drumfire multiroom bluetooth speaker. And a new addition to my Ibanez arsenal is the much priceworthy, lightweight and easy to play RGB300 bass. Things came full circle when artist relations Tyler Busque decided to use this bass to recreate some photos of me and my longterm RD707, which were originally taken in 1993 by my friend Micke Persson!

Also thanks to Fishman for the perfect sounding acoustic preamp, and Al Bane for the much practical leather pick holders!

 

LOTS of new interviews! Check my Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube to catch them all. The latest one by Lucas Gordons' Viva La Fiesta can be seen here!

KAT - "The Last Convoy" - Cover, Tracklist, Release Date: 25th September 2020

KAT - "The Last Convoy" - Cover, Tracklist, Release Date: 25th September 2020
The release date of the of the new album "The Last Convoy" by the Polish Heavy Metal Band KAT on CD via PURE STEEL RECORDS is September 25th, 2020. The pre-order phase will start on September 11th, 2020 in our webshop.

KAT has always been an institution in Heavy and Thrash Metal, particularly since the days of “Metal And Hell”. This album, released in 1985 will still be in the hearts of traditional metal fans.
Now, with "The Last Convoy", KAT shows a new face, both to their own songs and to the sources from which they took their inspiration. For the first time we will hear KAT's covers of classics such as "Highway Star" by Deep Purple, "Blackout" by the Scorpions or "You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC / DC. Acoustic tracks like "Dark Hole - The Habitat Of Gods" also show a completely different side of KAT.

This 40th anniversary album, featuring a very special guest, is Great Metal, made for anyone who enjoys a surprise!

KENZINER - "Timescape" - limited Double Vinyl Edition - Cover, Tracklist, Release Date: 28th August 2020

KENZINER - "Timescape" - limited Double Vinyl Edition - Cover, Tracklist, Release Date: 28th August 2020

The release date of the of the album "Timescape" by the Neoclassic/Prog Power Metal Band KENZINER on Double Vinyl via PURE STEEL RECORDS is August 20th, 2020. The pre-order phase will start on August 14th, 2020 in our webshop. The Album will be released in a limited Edition of 300 black copies and insert on Vinyl.
KENZINER wanted to conquer the world in 1998 with their debut ´Timescape´ and its famous prog metal. The source of inspiration for the Finnish guitarist Jarno Keskinen were of course 80s guitar sorcerers like Yngwie Malmsteen or Chris Impellitteri. As singer on this debut and his successor (´The Prophecies´) was Stephen Fredrick, who later joined FIREWIND, and as producer and text writer the team even had support by the shredding legend David T. Chastain. With this manpower, these neoclassical virtuosos immediately moved up to the level of the early SYMPHONY X and are still an experience for friends of Neoclassical / Progressive Power Metal many years later.

STARBLIND - "Black Bubbling Ooze" - limited Vinyl Edition - Cover, Tracklist, Release Date: 4th September 2020

STARBLIND - "Black Bubbling Ooze" - limited Vinyl Edition - Cover, Tracklist, Release Date: 4th September 2020

The release date of the of the new album "Black Bubbling Ooze" by the Swedish Heavy Metal Band STARBLIND on VINYL via PURE STEEL RECORDS is September 4th, 2020. The pre-order phase will start on August 21st, 2020 in our webshop. The Album will be released in a limited Edition of 300 red transparent/black Splatter copies and insert on Vinyl.
After two albums, the Swedes in STARBLIND had to cope with a change of vocalist in 2016. But the newly acquired Marcus S. Olkerud did splendid work on the third album. An album that already shows the direction of where the quintet is headed with their fourth work ‘Black Bubbling Ooze’.
Wonderful twin guitar runs by the duo Björn Rosenblad and Johan “J.J” Jonasson are a shining example of Melodic Metal. The hammering bass lines provided by Daniel Tillberg together with the thunderous drum works by Zakarias Wikner create a solid and heavy foundation that gets your heart pounding. In addition, the vocals manage to steer the eight compositions into the classic vein of true Heavy Metal. Of course, comparisons to IRON MAIDEN are inevitable this time as well, but at this level of quality, other formations of a similar nature must make a strong impression to compare.
STARBLIND will certainly make many new friends with ‘Black Bubbling Ooze’.

BYFIST sign worldwide deal with PURE STEEL RECORDS

BYFIST sign worldwide deal with PURE STEEL RECORDS

In the early to mid 1980’s, guitarists Davey Lee and Nacho Vara were well known in the San Antonio Texas metal scene with their respective bands, Sabre Sabatazh (Davey) and Séance (Nacho). Surprising many, Nacho left Séance and joined Davey’s band in June 1987. Soon after joining forces, the band name changed to BYFIST. Davey and Nacho were the main song writers. During this time, BYFIST shunned the ongoing Glam scene by delivering raw, no fluff, and no frills Power Metal.

BYFIST released two EP's “You Should Have Known” and "Adrenaline". The latter was Produced by the late David Wayne (Metal Church and Reverend) and engineered by Joe Floyd (Warrior). During their careers, more specifically between 2002 and 2005 both Lee and Vara were members of REVEREND until Wayne's passing in May of 2005.

In 2008, the band released "Preserving The Past", their first full-length album.

In October 2010, Davey Lee passed away suddenly, leaving co-founding member Nacho Vara to lead the charge.  After a few years and various line-up changes, Nacho has established a strong line-up which continues today to help him honor Davey Lee’s memory. 
A Releasedate will soon be announced!

Raul Garcia (Diablo) (Sidewinder, Dirty Haven, Excalibur, Babe, Temporary Insanity) – vocals
Nacho Vara (Reverend, David Wayne’s Metal Church, Séance, Sabre Sabatazh) – guitars, backing vocals
