New Promo: ZOË - Back Into The Light - (Stoner Rock) - @thebeast

ZOË are back into the light ! It’s been quite a while since they were back on stage, but that’s it, they’re back ! And in addition, with a new album, their fourth : “Back Into The Light” ! “Back Into The Light”, their 4th album, is still rock n roll ! They once again trusted Olivier T'Servrancx (Lumberjack Feedback, Black Bomb A...) for the sound. And, combined with the mastering of Goran Finnberg (Meshuggah, In Flames, Glowsun...), it’s a success ! The 10 tracks are in the usual stoner vein of the quartet, “Back Into The Light”, “Voices”, “By Your Side” and “White Trash” are the good example. Other more psyche flirt with the 70’s ambiance of MC5, Stooges and Led Zeppelin : “Wild Wild City”, “Down In A Hole”, “Go Like A Bomb”. As for the last 3, more speed, Motorhead would not deny them : “Cut Class”, “In Praize Of Laziness” and especially “Band Of Brothers”, a beautiful tribute to Lemmy. In short, a complete album for the powerful rock aficionados! FFO: The Electric Cactus, Skraeckoedlan, Howling Giant Check out this video!

Band: Ironbound Album: "The Lighbringer" Country: Poland Genre: Traditional Heavy Metal Label: Ossuary Records Premiere: April 30th 2021 FFO: Midnight Dice, Traveler, Iron Flame If there was any chance for a NWOBHM-inspired band to come into life in the heart of Polish Silesia, then it happened in 2014 in Rybnik. Three friends, one goal: heavy metal. Zbigniew, Adam and Krzysztof took the prosperous guitarist, Michał, under their wings and formed IRONBOUND. After recruiting Bartosz to take over vocal duties they record their first EP – „She Devil”. They started to follow this direction, even though Bartosz decided to exit the speedy train not long after releasing the EP. However, on their adventure course the band members were quickly approached by Łukasz and the and became stronger than ever with the new lead singer. „The Witch Hunt / Lifesblood” single from 2018 was a harbinger of what a band was going to deliver – their first full album „The Lightbringer” will have its premiere on April 30th 2021 and it’s sure to assuage the hunger of every metal maniac craving for some good, oldschool NWOBHM vibes. Follow them on Spotify and add them to your playlists!

In addition to his contributions to one track, Bruce Kulick was also the album’s creative consultant.  Check out the brand new debut single “ Start Over Now ” featuring special guest Bruce Kulick .   “ Chris Manning is a talented guitarist with a unique style and approach. He is capable of playing his instrument with fluid movements, using his dynamic touch of picking technique and creative chord voicing.  His playing excels in his compositions and takes the listener into the colorful ‘World of Manning’.

The Metal Music Database on Whatgear for Rock fans - @thebeast

FYI: Whatgear music is a database that lists the great musicians of our modern era and the equipment they use to create, record, produce, and perform their music. Music of the 20th and 21th century has evolved over the years, and it has included so many genres of music. Whatgear lists some of the metal music instruments used by popular musicians. It is mostly artists in the rock and pop genres that produce metal music.  Metal music is loud and aggressive, and there are many people who enjoy this type of music. The genre includes individuals, but it includes mostly bands. There are bands that make the best use of metal instruments, and musicians like Jeff Beck and Steve Vai are professionals in this genre.   Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar Out of all the electric guitars, a  Fender Stratocaster  is a great fit. This is a metal instrument that Jeff Beck uses. The guitar has a high-class tone, and it is very smooth and comfortable. It comprises of two types-- the Fender Strat Plus Series and the Fender Custom Classic Series. Many American Stratocasters have been produced from this electric guitar. It took 12 years to produce the Strat Plus, and that’s why it’s such an instrument with special features. The Strat Ultra had some extra pickup variations, and an ebony fingerboard was also created.  The Fender Custom Classic Series has a combination of vintage and modern features of the Strats guitar. It includes components such as three modern classic pickups, and it has the bridge pickup surrounded by a copper wire.  Metal Music and its style  Metal musicians admit that classical composers are inspirational to their musical journey. As much as metal music has its unique style, it has some inspiration from classical music. Some of these musicians compose styles such as heavy metal and rock. Heavy metal music is louder and more aggressive than other styles of rock music. Usually, musicians would use more than one guitar and add extra drums.  Rock Instruments listed on Whatgear  Whatgear music  lists a couple of drums and keyboards used by rock and metal artists. The sounds are loud and powerful. They use more effective instruments and equipment than other musicians. The equipment sounds powerful and rhythmic. For instance, Chris Cornell uses the Radial JR-5 Remote for live performances. Being a multi-switch remote control, the Radial JR-5 was designed for the Radial JX44 Air Control wireless guitar. It was also designed for the stage amp switcher. This remote consists of 5 footswitches that are used to select amplifiers and instruments.  Drums  The Ludwig Amber Vistalite Drumkit is a great drumkit for rock performances on stage. John Bonham uses this drumkit during live performances. The drums come in massive sizes, and they have an attractive amber colour. John Bonham is popularly known for using this instrument, and he has a signature set in his name.  Bass Guitars  Whatgear lists the Schecter Ultracore VI as one of the bass drums. The Schecter Ultracore VI is used by Robert Smith, a bassist. He, just like  John Bonham , has a signature bass guitar to his name. It has a bridge pickup, middle pickup, and neck pickup. It comes in variations of colours similar to silver. The material of this guitar is Mahogany. Another bass instrument includes the Vintage Fender Precision Bass used by Mac Miller. This bass guitar has four strings, a maple fingerboard, a one-piece 20-fret maple neck, and a single split-coil humbucking pickup. This guitar cannot be easily transported, unlike other bass guitars.  Metal music has been appreciated for many years, and the instruments and equipment are all valuable for the genre. Appreciating metal music, especially rock is golden because the work put into it reflects in the music produced.
