ATTAXE - "20 Years The Hard Way" - Cover, Tracklist, Release Date: 31st July 2020 The release date of the of the album "20 Years The Hard Way" by the US-Metal Band ATTAXE on CD via PURE STEEL RECORDS is July 31st, 2020. The pre-order phase will start on July 17th, 2020 in our webshop. Another treasure from Cleveland, Ohio, USA, was the independent release in 2006 of ATTAXE “20 Years the Hard Way", which should not be withhold to the metal community. ATTAXE were one of those newcomers in the eighties, who released one demo tape after the other. Her legacy is this compilation called "20 Years the Hard Way", which is currently freshly released by PURE STEEL RECORDS. Fifteen fantastic songs of US Metal, which none other than Juan Ricardo (RITUAL, SUNLESS SKY, WRETCH, DARK ARENA) intoned on the microphone. Scott Stage (ex-LIZZY BORDEN), Greg Perry (PURTAGORY) or Steve McDonald (ex-BORN RUDE) can be heard on the guitars, and even one time Paul Konjicija (ANTITHESIS, DARK ARENA). The compilation of course feeds on the compositions of the individual demos, on which different musicians operated on the guitars. However, this does no harm to the valuable compilation, the difference between the productions of the individual demo recordings is very limited TRACKLIST: 1. Calling The Messiah 2. Metal Messiah 3. Unholy Realm 4. Blood On The Moon 5. Pedal To The Metal 6. Remember Me? 7. Suicide 8. Lovefire 9. Jealousy 10. Powermad 11. Out Of The Storm 12. Leave It All Behind 13. Capture The Universe 14. Are You Ready? 15. Playing With Fire Total Playing Time: 54:08 min LINE-UP: Juan Ricardo – vocals Paul Konjicija (song 2) – guitars Ray Hitchcock (songs 5,7) – bass Scott Stage (songs 4, 5, 7, 11, 12, 13) – guitars Steve McCabe (songs 4, 11, 12, 13) – bass Steve McDonald (songs 3, 15) – guitars Bill Zurlo (song 3) – bass Michael Siefert (song 2) – bass Greg Perry (songs 8, 9, 10) – guitars Calvin Burgess (songs 8, 9, 10) – bass Joey Coach Hanna (song 2) – drums Steve Sinur (songs 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) – drums Kenny Easterly (songs 8, 9, 10) – drums  Link https://www.last.fm/music/Attaxe More about ATTAXE More about 20 Years The Hard Way

STARBLIND - official lyric video for "The Young Man" released STARBLIND has released a new lyric video for the song "The Young Man". That song is on the album "Black Bubbling Ooze", which will be released on July 31st, 2020 via PURE STEEL RECORDS. The pre-order phase will start on July 17th, 2020 in our webshop. 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’.
