Right Stripped - Daylight Into Darkness - Streaming At Rock On The Rise Radio! - @thebeast

ICYMI: Right Stripped - Daylight Into Darkness - Streaming At Rock On The Rise Radio ! Check it out here at this link: https://rotrradio.rocks/ Band: Right Stripped Album: Daylight into Darkness Label: Carney Media Group Release Date: March 6th, 2021 Genre: Power Metal Description: Right Stripped’s third album “Daylight into Darkness” is a mixture of modern American power metal, orchestral, and progressive elements. The opening track “We Will Rise” features prominent orchestral parts, big lush backing vocals in the choruses, and two blistering guitar solos. “Now That You’re Sober” and the title track “Daylight into Darkness” feature a less prominent orchestral sound, but substitute heavy riffs from guitarist Josh Carney and bassist Dave Ross, and soaring vocals mixed with brutal screams from vocalist Joe Kiesgen. The album is full of intricate double bass and syncopated rhythmic motives from drummer Tim Diephouse, who brings the rhythm section together in a very grooving, musical way. The album also has some softer, acoustic elements with songs like “Requiem”, a song written about the tragic death of high school friend of Carney and Kiesgen, and “Carry Me Home”, which both feature prominent orchestral parts. The album finishes off with a ten-minute epic track, “Against the Tide”, which features a cinematic soundscape introduction, following with mixed-meter heavy riffs and breakdowns, powerful sung vocals, and devilish screams. Right Stripped is influenced by many progressive elements; however, they believe in putting musicality first, not complexity. “Daylight into Darkness” is the band’s first album in over 10 years, and their best work to date. FFO: Symphony X, Nightwish, Blind Guardian, Killswitch Engage, Dream Theater Check out this video! Check them out on Spotify and add them to your playlists! Track Suggestions: We Will Rise Now That You’re Sober Daylight into Darkness Requiem Three Years Bio: Right Stripped was formed in 2005 by high school friends Josh Carney (guitar) and Joe Kiesgen (vocals). Carney and Kiesgen recorded an initial demo, titled “Plaguing Words” shortly after teaming up, of which only 300 copies were printed. Later in 2005, the band added Dave Ross (bass) and Tim Diephouse (drums) to the line-up, and they started work on their 2006 album release “A Doubtful Life’s Anthology”. “ADLA” was full of orchestral and power metal inspired songs, with the title track being an eight-part, 25-minute epic that ends the album. The band toured all over the US Midwest, mostly in the Great Lakes region, for 5 years, selling thousands of copies of “ADLA” and selling out their entire stock of the album in the process. During this time the band experimented with some new songs, with less prog and power metal influences. The band ultimately decided to change their sound a bit with a more modern metal approach on their 2010 album “Absence of Humanity”. The album features heavier riffs, shorter songs, and focuses more on the core rhythm section of the band, and less on orchestral elements. Right Stripped took a hiatus from touring and writing in the 2010’s, to focus on family and side projects. In 2018 the band re-formed and started writing new material, blending the best of their original prog/power metal sound with modern American metal influences. In 2021, the band released their third, and hardest hitting album “Daylight into Darkness”, a blend of melodic metalcore, lyrical power metal, and impactful orchestral elements. Band Line-up: Joe Kiesgen: Lead Vocals Josh Carney: Guitar, Backing Vocals, Orchestral Arrangements Dave Ross: Bass, Backing Vocals Tim Diephouse: Drums Track list: 1- We Will Rise 2- Now That You’re Sober 3- Daylight into Darkness 4- Inner Lies 5- Hellraiser 6- Requiem 7- Carry Me Home 8- Three Years 9- Against the Tide Follow the band at these links: https://www.rightstripped.com  https://www.facebook.com/rightstripped  https://www.youtube.com/user/MusicTechHelpGuy/videos https://open.spotify.com/album/50OzhrJK51vBvVIr5HhSd1?si=1kcUYDFFTLG5NnqZkblDwA https://music.apple.com/mn/artist/right-stripped/381650767

Ornimental - Launches New Podcast! - Featured At Bathory'Zine! - @thebeast

Ornimental - Launches New Podcast! - Featured At Bathory'Zine ! Check it out here at this link: https://www.bathoryzine.com/2021/04/ornimental-launches-new-podcast-hard.html Miami 's premier Hard Rock / Metal band. Ornimental has shared the stage with some of the biggest acts in Hard Rock , and Metal such as Children of Bodom , Death Angel , TYR ,   Overkill , Sid of Slipknot , Nonpoint , Butcher Babies , OTEP , Jeff Scott Soto of Yngwie Malmsteen , Eye Empire , and many more.​ On behalf of the band, Danny Perry (Lead Singer/Lead Guitarist) had the opportunity to perform with the world famous " Miami-Dade Film Orchestra " which won not one, but two Emmy Awards for their now famous " VGC " or " Video Game Concert " which has gone viral multiple times on social media for their " Naruto Medley ". Also, Danny's incredible performance on their adaptation of the " Halo Theme " which showcased his well know guitar skills.​ In just the first record, Ornimental 's first single " Encage " has become a favorite, and has been streamed on YouTube over a quarter million times. Just recently, Ornimental released their second single " Love Thy Enemy " to promote the highly fan anticipated follow up record " Red, White, ...and Wrath ", and was played on the radio in the U.S., Canada, and Australia.  Red White and Wrath by Ornimental Check out the latest video! Check them out doing a ripping cover of Metallica's Seek And Destroy! Also be sure to check out the new Podcast the band has launched on YouTube! With a band that's toured, been interviewed on online magazines,  and consistently professional, Ornimental will no doubt be a house hold name in the near future.  Add them on Spotify! PRESS: "These guys are phenomenal" Terry Knight, M.M.TV “Allbiz Entertainment selects Ornimental's " PowerNerve" for a Showcase.” Jeff Becker, Allbiz Entertainment “Head pounding Metal, these guys are great!” Jean Paul, Metal Messiah Radio “They'll make it!” Bruce Knight, Miami Music TV “Great original sounds, young very talented musicians. The songs have punch and melody, I just couldn't stop moving” Diana Nelson, Drumtastic Magazine "Being a heavy supporter of local music, I am still baffled how this band has flown under my radar for so long. Well, this was my virgin foray into what Ornimental had to offer and found myself absolutely mesmerized. Their sound is very heavy at times with times of clean atmosphere, providing the listener with a tasteful and flowing direction of music and lyrical intent. The set included “ Escape With Me ”, “ Black Sabbath ”, “ Encage ” and “ Love Thy Enemy ” which accurately showcases the outright talent of individual players and how well they play together. The accurate and speedy feet of the drummer Julio Garcia along with the chorded and/or slap style bass lines of Sully provide a strong foundation for the impossibly complex guitar work and semi-clean and clean vocals of Ariel and Danny to navigate. In the middle of the show, Danny Perry even took five minutes to “noodle” on his axe. Noodle? Whatever… This man is a monster! A polished, five minute solo interspersed with Van Halen and Dime is “noodling” most guitarists would aspire to play within any song on stage. That being said, all members have great stage presence and administer bone crushing music that engages and entertains as well, if not better than any band I have seen. Ornimental being one of the two bands I had not had the pleasure of hearing before, definitely gained at least one big fan very quickly! Super freaking band!" - Odyssey, Metal Nexus Follow the band at these links: https://www.ornimental.com/ https://www.facebook.com/Ornimental/ https://ornimental.bandcamp.com/releases https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCISF51-bRIqlaEnAd1o4dJg?reload=9 https://open.spotify.com/artist/1aoDMDzKhdSRbfxpXgTaIE?si=uNfFPGO9SBOI8bG6M8T4Rw https://www.patreon.com/ornimental https://ornimentalshop.com/ Management: Evolution Artist Agency contact: artist@evolutionartistagency.com

The music video will also be available on the same day on the official YouTube channel. "BEHIND THIS DOOR" is a Power Ballad that was actually written a few years ago after a very painful breakup, but it took a while until Chris felt ready to finish the song. He finally recorded "BEHIND THIS DOOR" during the Covid19-lockdown in end of 2020. As its origin suggests, the song is about a hard time after a relationship has ended. The song’s protagonist is facing the fact that the beloved one will not come back and is trying to move on. The phrase "when a door closes, a window opens" comes into the protagonist’s mind, but what is, if the protagonist is (still) loving the one who is behind this door? Although Chris has written the lyrics inspired by his own situation many years ago and is maintaining the vocals for this song, it is important for him to leave it open what gender the protagonist or the beloved one have, so that everyone can put themselves in their shoes. Short bio: Chris Maragoth is a same-titled musical project based out of Germany. After several other projects, Chris Maragoth was founded in February 2017 to pursue his own musical endeavors. Being a guitarist primarily, Chris writes, arranges and records instrumental and vocal parts on his own. Occasionally Chris collaborates with other musicians, but mostly friends and former band mates. The musical style is a fluent transition between several genres of rock and metal music, but can be mostly described as modern rock and melodic metal.

Most Famous Metal Musician Gamblers – The Biggest Highrollers - @thebeast

ICYMI: Musicians, especially Metal Musicians, know how to work hard and play hard. Play cards, that is. Gambling has a strong tie with metal music because both have something to do with being edgy, taking risks, and living dangerously. Gambling is actually a popular theme for many songs. The music of Megadeth and Iron Maiden talk about what bad things can happen if you gamble. So, it doesn’t come as a surprise that many metal musicians are also the biggest highroller casino patrons. Motorhead’s founder and frontman, Lemmy Kilmister, a pretty unique character , was known to be a keen gambler. Everyone knew it, including his fans. This was largely because of the documentary about his life.One of the band's most popular songs, Ace of Spades, was even written by Lemmy. But it wasn’t the cards that interested this hard playing musician. He was more interested in playing the slots. If he is not in the studio or on stage, he can be found spinning the reels at his favorite gambling venues in London. Steve Albini, on the other hand, spends his free time on the poker tables of the best casinos. This legendary producer and Shellac's vocalist and guitarist loves pitting his card skills against the best poker players in the world. Despite this musician’s busy performance schedule, Albini was able to carve time to work on his game. He has made several appearances in both the seven-card stud and no-limit hold em poker games of the World Series of Poker Seniors Championship. In one of these four appearances in the tournament, he was able to finish in 12 th place. Another big name in the music industry and a great poker player is Anthrax’s vocalist and rhythm guitarist, Scott Ian . Admittedly, it was not easy for this musician to find a balance between honing his card-playing skills and writing music for the band. Scott Ian has always been interested in the game, but it was his win in the charity game hosted by VH1 that motivated him to play poker competitively. Thanks to online casinos, he was able to train to be good enough to play in the 2008 Aruba Poker Classic and the World Series of Poker the year after that. During his free time, it was claimed that Ian arranged home poker games for him and some of the biggest heavy metal names. Allegedly, the group is made up of Slash, Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, and Kirk Hamett of Metallica. Is there something about being the lead vocalist and guitarist of a metal band that makes them extra interested in playing poker? Godsmack’s Salvatore Paul Erna, for example, loved the game so much that he got a tattoo of four aces on fire all over his back. Erna is such a big name in the heavy metal industry that it was surprising how he found the time to master the game. But master it he did. Gambling presents not just a great opportunity to take risks but also is a good way to take a break from the crazy life of a musician. These artists, despite their astounding performance commitments, still made time to get a game in or two of their favorite online casinos because of the love for the game.
