Soul Sign launched a GoFundMe project

We're raising funds to finish production (mixing and mastering), and finance promotion, printing/duplication and distribution costs of the release of our upcoming album, as well as recoup the high costs of recording.

Due to the recent conditions of the music business, and the poor economics of most record labels we have decided to self release our upcoming album, which features our new amazing line-up:

Mark Boals (Yngwie Malmsteen, Ted Nugent, Uli Jon Roth) on vocals, Bjorn Englen (Quiet Riot, Dio band, Yngwie Malmsteen) on bass, Rob Math (Player, Leatherwolf, Seal) on guitar and Mike Cancino (Lynch Mob, Unida) on drums.

We are very proud and pleased with this record, and we are convinced that our fans will be as well.

In order to finish the production, mixing and mastering, as well promotion costs, artwork, printing, duplication and distribution we are in need of great financial support. This is an opportunity for our fans, friends and families to contribute and be part of a great album and experience!

Any contribution is highly appreciated and of great assistance!

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!

LINE-UP:
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

WALLOP - "Alps On Fire" - Cover, Tracklist, Release Date: 24th April 2020

WALLOP - "Alps On Fire" - Cover, Tracklist, Release Date: 24th April 2020

The release date of the of the album "Alps On Fire“ by the Old school Heavy Metal Band WALLOP on CD via PURE STEEL RECORDS is April 24th, 2020. The pre-order phase will start on April 10th, 2020 in our webshop.

How do you hear new, original and authentic 80’s metal in the 2020’s?
Well, the band who released their well-known debut album Metallic Alps in 1985 (and disbanded one year later) has returned with the original line-up, as aggressive, loud and enthusiastic 35 years on! WALLOP!

When drummer Stefan Arnold left his former band Grave Digger in 2018 after a 23-year run, it was time for the cult band WALLOP to rise from the dead.
To be honest: A lot of bands rely on the success of their early productions. The WALLOP story continues exactly at this point. After a short 35-year break, they continue with true 80’s old school metal - without realignment, experiments with orchestras or three failed concept albums.
The first step was made in April 2019, when a 4-track promo EP was released, and the band performed their very successful reunion show. Recently the band finalized the new album Alps on Fire, which contains old songs as well as some new and previously unreleased material, including the RAVEN cover “Crash, bang, wallop”, where no other than Mr. John Gallagher of Raven added vocals and guitar solo! In February 2020 the band decided to sign a deal with Pure Steel Records, the right partner in crime to execute the ambitious plans, the band has for the future.
The line-up is the original band from 1985 and is a true band – not one remaining member from the old days with a bunch of hired guns - which has become very rare in nowadays music industry.
WALLOP means true old school heavy metal with catchy, straight and powerful songs. The material on the upcoming album sounds old school but fresh and delivers what the metal crowd is looking for: full metal power at its best!
