Mr. SLEAZY

HARD 'N' HEAVY da SANREMO




Membri

- NIKKI COLE : Vocal
- Mr. SLEAZY : Drums & Backing vocal
- BLACK ALE : Bass
- FABRY BONALIEN : Guitar
- DAVE BREEZE : Guitar & Backing vocal



Biografia

L'idea di Mr. Sleazy prende vita nel 2011 scrivendo canzoni stile hard-rock e cantate ognuna da cantanti differenti, un pò come progetti fatti da "Big" della musica: Slash, Carlos Santana ecc..
Oltre alle voci differenti, un' altra decisione è stata quella di chiamare chitarristi solisti diversi per ogni brano, in modo da dare ad ogni brano un timbro e un sound unico.
Il cd raccoglie 7 brani e il Videoclip della seconda canzone in track-list intitolata "Game with the devil".
Uscito da poco, "The Sleazy Attraction" è un cd con suoni forti, canzoni Hard-Rock ascoltabili da tutti, ritornelli che restano impressi nel cervello!!!
Al momento la band è composta da una formazione fissa che sta lavorando al nuovo cd e molto altro.







The project began in 2011 and Mr. Sleazy is to compose songs in the style of hard-rock, but each sung by different singers, a bit like projects made by "Big" of music as Slash, Carlos Santana, etc. ..
In addition to the different voices, an 'other decision was to call lead guitarists different for each song, in order to give each one a different sound and a particular sound.
Another detail was to insert the CD of 7 tracks including the video clip of one of these, taken from the second song of the track entitled "Game with the devil."
Released recently, "The Sleazy Attraction" is a CD with loud sounds, songs Hard-Rock listenable by everyone, choruses that remain imprinted in the brain!

CADAVERIA

Horror Metal da Biella




Membri

Cadaveria - Vocals
Frank Booth - Guitar
Dick Laurent - Guitar
Killer Bob - Bass
Marçelo Santos - Drums



Biografia

CADAVERIA was formed in 2001 by Cadaveria and Marçelo Santos (Flegias) with the intent to create a virtual space where to freely express themselves as musicians and extreme artists. In few months, after having recruited some of the most talented personalities from the Italian Metal scene (Killer Bob – aka John – ex Necrodeath, Frank Booth and Baron Harkonnen – aka LJ Dusk – from DyNAbyte), the band record the debut album 'The Shadows' Madame' (Scarlet Records), that receives exalting consents worldwide.
Since then, CADAVERIA's private virtual space became part of the collective Metal universe. The band’s style is immediately labelled as Horror Metal, definition that means all and nothing and that therefore leaves them the chance to play from the classical Heavy Metal to the new progressive tendencies, passing through Death, Gothic and Black Metal. The lyrics, scheming, hermetic and introspective, mirror the dark soul and the vexed personality of the singer Cadaveria, talking about presages, existence, memory, energies, intellect and death.
Once finished the live activity supporting the first album, CADAVERIA release a Home Video, featuring the videos for the cult song 'Spell' and 'Circle of Eternal Becoming', the making-of the videos and other unpublished backstage acts. The video is fully self imagined/made/produced/distributed; its professional result testifies the initiative and the fervent creativity of the band and CADAVERIA's love for the visual dimension besides music.
In 2003 the group begin the composition of the second album, while Baron Harkonnen leaves the band to totally devote himself to his Industrial Metal project DyNAbyte. CADAVERIA continue its musical walk with no keyboards, building more melodic guitar riffs, but still preserving the original aggressiveness. The vocals become more variegated, flamboyant and fanciful.






While licensing 'The Shadows’ Madame' in UK (Salvation/Triple Silence), in 2004 the second album 'Far Away From Conformity' is released (Scarlet Records). The reactions of the audience are very hot and sometimes conflicting: CADAVERIA reached an appropriate autonomous complex style, that, as the title of the album says, is well away from the stereotypes of Death/Black Metal and from any trends of pre-existing genres.
The CD artwork, as always manufactured with photographic works by contemporary artists, shows also a renewed band look, hard but detailed and absolutely out of time. With 'Far Away From Conformity' CADAVERIA are hated or loved!
This album, licensed also in Russia (CD Maximum) and South America (Hellion), collects good reviews from magazines and webzines all over the world and is supported by a tour that ends with a great live show at the Marquee, in central London.
During 2006 CADAVERIA work on the composition and production of its third full length. In early 2007 the band change label and join Season of Mist, that in May releases the new album entitled 'In Your Blood': twelve brand new songs that mark another step ahead in the band’s artistic career. The album is announced by the video for the song 'The Dream', immediately followed by the psycho-splattering 'Anagram' video.
After having spent the last years in promotion and live shows in Italy, France, Mexico, Spain and Romania, CADAVERIA is now ready to face the present and the future with an enlarged line-up, as a second guitarist, Dick Laurent, has joined the combo. The quintet completed the songwriting and the recordings of eleven dramatic new tracks, that flooded into CADAVERIA’s fourth full length album, entitled 'Horror Metal', released on January 31st, 2012 (Bakerteam Records). 
On October 22nd 2013 CADAVERIA released its first ever retrospective Double DVD entitled 'Karma' on Scarlet Records.
A new era of blood and darkness has begun!

POEMISIA

Symphonic/Gothic metal da Napoli



Membri

Tina Gagliotta - Voice (light-lyric soprano)
Marco Monaco - Guitar
Ciro Scognamiglio - Bass
Giuseppe Carillo - Keys
Vincenzo Grande - Drums



Biografia

I Poemisia sono una band symphonic metal, nata a Napoli nel 2011 da Marco Monaco e Tina Gagliotta che poi completano la formazione con Ciro Scognamiglio, Giuseppe Carillo e Vincenzo Grande.
Lo stile musicale della band è incentrato su sonorità che accostano alla musica metal, elementi operistici e sinfonici, resi anche dalla voce del soprano lirico leggero di Tina. Tale dualismo sfocia in una tendenza a marcare il contrasto continuo tra oscurità e luce, tra morte e vita, tra infernale e celestiale, a volte, in maniera quasi grottesca e rispecchiata a pieno anche nei testi di natura sempre ricercata.
L’attività live inizia nel gennaio 2012 e vede la band protagonista di svariati eventi tra cui:
18/marzo/2012 – Magna Grecia Metal Fest @ Duel Beat (NA)
03/giugno/2012 – Woodstock in Naples con Blaze Bayley (ex Iron Maiden) @ Palapartenope (NA)
Agosto 2012 – Minitour promozionale nei Paesi Bassi
25/agosto/2012 – Agglutination Metal Fest con Dark Tranquillity, Rhapsody of Fire, Rotting Christ e molti altri @ Chiaromonte (PZ).

Nel luglio 2012, la band pubblica il primo EP chiamato “l’Occulto Desìo” che contiene 4 brani del gruppo. Nell’aprile 2013 sarà terminato il primo full-length album della band che avrà il nome di “La Danza degli Spiriti” che conterrà 9 brani uno dei quali vanterà la collaborazione con Sakis Tolis, frontman della black metal band ellenica “Rotting Christ”.

Poemisia are a symphonic metal band, born in Naples in 2011 by Marco Monaco and Tina Gagliotta who complete the line up with Ciro Scognamiglio, Giuseppe Carillo and Vincenzo Grande.
The musical style of the band is focused on sounds which combine metal music to opera and symphonic elements, which are also made by the light-lyric soprano voice of Tina. This duality leads to a tendency to mark the continuous conflict between darkness and light, between death and life, between Hell and Heaven, sometimes also in a peculiar grotesque way. This is fully reflected also in the lyrics which have always a refined nature.
The live activity starts in January 2012 and the band starred in many events including:
18/march/2012 – Magna Grecia Metal Fest @ Duel Beat (NA)
03/june/2012 – Woodstock in Naples with Blaze Bayley (ex Iron Maiden) @ Palapartenope (NA)
August 2012 – Promotional minitour in the Netherlands
25/august/2012 – Agglutination Metal Fest with Dark Tranquillity, Rhapsody of Fire, Rotting Christ and many more @ Chiaromonte (PZ).

In July 2012, the band releases it’s first EP, named “L’Occulto Desìo” (wich translated in English is “The Hidden Desire”) that contains 4 songs. The first full-length album will be finished in April 2013 and will be named “La danza degli spiriti” (“The dance of the spirits”). It will contain 9 tracks, one of which will have as guest musician Sakis Tolis, frontman of the Greek black metal band “Rotting Christ”

LIFFROCK 2014 - ISCRIZIONI -


TRAMORTIRIA

Stun Metal da Pogno (No)




Membri

Tony De Marco - Vocals & guitar
Fabio Cantone - Guitar
Paul Medina - Bass
Willy Hax- Drums


Biografia

I Tramortiria nascono lì dove non si direbbe che alcunché possa nascere, paesi di montagna misconosciuti, gente arrabbiata che conta poco o niente. Nessuna di quelle storie da rockstar che vorrebbero darvi a bere, solo una menata logorante da cui cercare di salvarsi.

Tony De Marco abbraccia la chitarra passati i ventuno anni, e dalla rabbia spera di poterci cavare qualcosa. Simone Bosi si aggrega come batterista, è il 2002. Troppi anni in cantina tra alcolici, odio e discorsi vani producono prima due demo e poi "Wrath Among the Dead", debut album che vale alla band un contratto discografico con SG Records ad un solo mese dalla fine delle registrazioni. La formazione è infine completata da Fabio Cantone (chitarra) e Paul Medina (basso). 


Il 20 Gennaio 2012 esce "Wrath Among The Dead".
L'album riceve recensioni lusinghiere ed entusiastiche da diverse webzine e riviste di settore in tutta Europa.
Nel febbraio 2012, a un mese dalla pubblicazione dell'album ,simone bosi lascia la band.
La band si prende il tempo per cercare il giusto sostituto alla batteria.
L'11 Agosto 2012 Willy hax entra ufficialmente a far parte della band.

Per quanto le influenze siano chiare ed i ringraziamenti doverosi, non ci sentiamo un gruppo thrash nè un gruppo death, e l'ultimo dei nostri intenti è ricalcare le orme di band cui le persone ci accostano per trovare delle comode analogie - bands che spesso nemmeno abbiamo mai ascoltato. Da qui la definizione "Stun Metal", "to stun" - la volontà di tramortire, nonché quella di non voler mai assomigliare nemmeno a se stessi e di abbaiarvi sempre in faccia qualcosa di onesto. D'altronde il metal non dovrebbe essere una scelta, bensì un impulso.

Durante gli ultimi due anni la band ha avuto la fortuna di condividere il palco con artisti di calibro internazionale come "Rhino" (Manowar),"Dariusz Daray Brzozowski" (Dimmu Borgir) e gli Italiani "Extrema".
Verso la fine di Febbraio 2014 i quattro ragazzi torneranno in Studio per registrare il nuovo album targato Tramortiria.




ENGLISH:

The guys who play in Tramortiria were born far away from the spotlights, neglected in small mountain towns, bred as angry people whose opinions counted little or nothing. None of those big rockstar stories bands usually want to make you believe in. No places to promote original music, cover bands everywhere, no musician who would carelessly join such a bunch of pretentious fuckers. 

Tony De Marco starts playing guitar when he's already 21, hoping to let his anger out in a way that wouldn't get him in jail. Simone Bosi tags along in 2002, joining the apparently meaningless rebellion. The duo (occasionally a trio) spends years and years rehearsing in a cellar, hardly playing any live show. Frustration, anger and booze grow relentlessly, turning a former hard-rock ensemble in a metal band. Eventually, a couple of demo cds are spawned, and thanks to them Fabio Cantone (guitar) and Paul Medina (bass) join the line-up. The full-lenght debut "Wrath Among the Dead" is recorded in 2011, and manages to get the band signed to SG Records almost immediately after the work on the album is finished.


On 20 January 2012 were released "Wrath Among The Dead".
The album received various enthusiastic reviews from some metal webzine and magazines across all Europe.
In February 2012, a month after release of the album, simone bosi left the band.
The band takes its time to find the right replacement battery.
On 11 August 2012 Willy hax officially joined the band.

However clear our musical influences may be, we don't really think of ourselves as a thrash nor a death metal band. Sounding like someone else is not one of our goals, hence the definition "Stun metal": the will to stun and surprise, to play with intensity the themes and emotions that need to be intense and quietly those who need to be quiet, never belonging to anything and hoping to achieve a single goal: honesty. After all, metal music isn't meant to be a choice, it's merely an urge. 
Over the last two years the band has had the good fortune to share the stage with artists of international calibration as "Rhino" (Manowar), "Dariusz Daray Brzozowski" (Dimmu Borgir) and the Italians "Extrema". 
On late February 2014 the four guys will be back in Studio to recording the new album branded Tramortiria.

PRIMO VESPERE

Progressive Metal - Melodic Death Metal da Venezia



Membri

Davide Lazzarini - Voice
Giacomo Berton - Drums
Enrico Ruberti - Guitar
Mattia Camozzi - Guitar
Carlos Branagan - Bass
Marco Pedrali - Keyboar


Biografia

Il gruppo nasce nel cuore di Venezia all'inizio del 2009 dall'unione degli amici Davide Lazzarini (voce), Giacomo Berton (batteria) e Davide Russo (basso). La prima formazione vide come unico altro membro Stefano Marri alla chitarra, ma dopo pochissimo tempo quel ruolo venne occupato da Dario Alessi e da Marco Peplis. Importantissimo fu, in parallelo, l'ingresso del tastierista Marco Pedrali nella formazione.
All'inizio del 2010, per controversie interne, Russo e Alessi abbandonarono il gruppo, lasciando un grosso buco strumentale all'interno dei Vespere. Sfortunatamente accorse in soccorso solamente un bassista, Gyan Ganesha, lasciando così a Peplis il ruolo di unico Chitarrista della band. Durante lo stesso inverno venne la luce il primissimo Demo in presa diretta, e all'inizio della primavera entrò a far parte del gruppo il solista Enrico Ruberti.
I Primo Vespere iniziarono in questo periodo a fare le loro prime comparse live nella provincia di Venezia, collaborando attivamente nell'organizzazione di diversi Festival Metal locali. Un ingresso nella scena che vide però inaspettatamente l'abbandono da parte di Peplis e di Ganesha della formazione.
Nonostante il grave colpo, il gruppo si mantenne in equilibrio, assimilando Mattia Camozzi nella formazione e Jacopo Abbruscato come bassista. Il giovamento fu assoluto, iniziando a instaurare una maggior cura nella composizione e incidendo il primo EP autoprodotto "Crushed Instability" (2012). Per mezzo di questo importante biglietto da visita venne alla luce il primo disco, prodotto dalla Moonlight Records di Parma, "Daylight Fading", un disco ancorato al Melodic Death Metal Scandinavo, con una fortissima influenza Progressive Metal nella struttura dei brani e nella esecuzione.
Il gruppo ha visto un ultimo cambio di line-up una volta uscito il disco, con l'ingresso al basso da parte di Carlos Branagan. Attualmente invece è impegnato nell'organizzazione live e nella preparazione del prossimo full-lenght sotto l'etichetta Nemeton Records.

NECRODEATH

Thrash / Black Metal da Genova




Membri

Flegias - Vocals
Peso - Drums
Pier - Guitars
GL - Bass

Biografia

Formed back in 1984 and influenced by Slayer, Possessed, Kreator, Celtic Frost and Bathory, Necrodeath released a cult-demo tape titled ‘The Shining Pentagram’ and obtained an incredible success through the underground. This first demo-release is still considered a real “piece of thrash/black history”! Tons of tributes in major magazines, fanzines and other underground features highlighted the release of the first two legendary albums ‘Into The Macabre’ (1987) and ‘Fragments Of Insanity’ (1989). Necrodeath is one of the most important and outrageous names in extreme metal, a distinctive influence on several modern extreme acts, who spotted Necrodeath as one of the absolute fave acts in their interviews! Unfortunately after the mentioned second release several line-up problems and the unprofessional attitude of the old record label forced the band guys to suspend their activity.

Peso (drums) started a band called Necrosadist, now well known as Sadist, and recorded ‘Above The Light’ and ‘Tribe’ albums, leaving straight afterwards for personal and musical reasons. But rumors about a Necrodeath return started to float around…
Finally, in 1998, Peso and Claudio raised-up from the ashes the first and only black/thrash legend from Italy! The band signed immediately a deal with Scarlet, reissued the first album ‘Into The Macabre’ on CD and started working on new materialA year passed since their rebirth and the Italian black/thrash legend returned with their most righteningf and extreme album ever! Recorded at Underground Studios, Sweden (Carnal Forge, Ebony Tears, Lost Souls, Killing Machine…) during September 1999, ‘Mater Of All Evil’ showed an astonishing killer-production and highly talented technical performances! Bloody-fast, ultra-aggressive and supported by the evil-nightmarish vocaf the new singer Flegias, ‘Mater Of All Evil’ was the third Necrodeath album to come out after 10 years of silence…


Always leaded by the old-times composers Claudio
 (guitars) and Peso (drums), the band, stronger than ever, was ready to bring new fresh-blood to the extreme-metal scene… Pure, violent and malignant, ‘Mater Of All Evil’ proved to be the essence of what we loved in the past: Slayer, Possessed, Kreator, Destruction, Sodom, Bathory, Dark Angel… thrash/black metal at its best! The response from both media and public was simply amazing! Necrodeath set the world on fire with some “devastating” live performances, including appearances at No Mercy Festival and Gods Of Metal! After a few months of break and heavy reharsals, the band came out with new killer songs and an astonishing enthusiasm towards their music, celebrated with the home video ‘From Hate To Scorn’ (April 2001), a sort of tribute to the fans that supported the band for all these years. The long voyage to hell never stops and Necrodeath started planning the new album… the 4th of their career! ‘Black As Pitch’ contains the most violent attitude the Italian black-thrashers ever displayed before. The recording-session took place again at the Underground studios in Sweden with the producer Pelle Saether. Critically acclaimed as the natural evolution of ‘Mater Of All Evil’, the 4th album 'Black As Pitch' confirmed once again the leadership in the Italian scene and it turned out to be the most acclaimed Necrodeath album in America and Asia. The band took also part at the Tattoo The Planet Festival in Milan, Italy, with Slayer, Soulfly, Children Of Bodom and Moonspell among others. A videoclip for the song 'Process Of Violation' was also filmed and a new album started to be conceived…




Ton(e)s Of Hate’ arrived in September 2003. This time the band decided to spend more time in the studio and they choose one of the best in Italy, Outer Sound (Novembre, Stormlord, Rosae Crucis, DGM), with producer Giuseppe Orlando (also drummer in Novembre). Mastering took place at Mastering Room in Sweden with Goran Finnberg (Soilwork, In Flames). The result was a complex and experimental album, still keeping fully bleeding the extreme razorblade approach of the last two albums 'Mater Of All Evil' and 'Black As Pitch'. The album also featured 'The Flag', a new version of the song originally included in the debut masterpiece 'Into The Macabre' and titled 'The Flag Of The Inverted Cross'.

2006 saw Necrodeath releasing the sixth studio album of their long career, album that followed the highly acclaimed greatest-hits (‘Years Of Noise 1985-2005’ celebrated the band’s 20-years anniversary) and started a new era for the band, despite the fact that former guitarist Claudio stepped out in the same perdiod for personal reasons. Necrodeath started working on the new album with talented young guitarist Andy, but straight after it was recorded (with recording sessions taking place again at Outer Sound studios), he was replaced by Labyrinth’s Pier Gonella. ‘100% Hell’, the highly-anticipated new album, was described as the most diverse Necrodeath album so far, containing 10 furious tracks spanning from the fast thrashing assault of the mid-eighties to the groove-oriented sonic holocaust displayed with the latest efforts. The band was proud to announce a very special guest-appearance coming from mighty Cronos (Venom), universally described as the Godfather of black metal. An european tour with black metal masters Marduk followed.



‘Draculea’, Necrodeath’s seventh album, released in October 2007, is an intriguing concept on the King Of Darkness Vlad Tepes’ life, with a wide range of new influences performed by a band on top of its game. Artwork duties were once again handled by renowed artist/director Chad Michael Ward (who previously worked with Marilyn Manson, Fear Factory, Billy Idol, Allhelluja among others) and Peter In De Betou (Marduk, Meshuggah) mastered the album at his Taylor Made studios in Sweden. A stunning videoclip for the song ‘Smell Of Blood’ was also released.




But it’s now time for the new, eight studio-album of the legendary act. ‘Phylogenesis’ is the title of the new effort, a concept on the origin of the species, 9 killer tracks about the past, the present and the future of the world population. The new line-up, consisting of bassist GL (replacing former bassist John) and guitarist Pier Gonella, alongside former members Peso and Flegias, is tight as never before and the result of their cooperation is one of the band’s heaviest and most inspired albums ever! The album was once again recorded at Outer Sound Studios in Rome, Italy, with Giuseppe Orlando (Novembre) handling the mixing duties. Mastering was done at renowned Fear Studio in Ravenna, Italy. The amazing artwork came from Nerve Design (Nile, Threshold, Legion Of The Damned, Vision Divine, Exilia). Necrodeath embarks on an heavy touring schedule to promote the new effort.

Several high-profile gigs followed, and with 2009 marking a bludgeoning 25th anniversary for the band, Necrodeath started celebrating in style with the vinyl re-releases of groundbreaking “Into the Macabre'” debut album and a 10" EP version of the infamous “The Shing Pentagram” original demo tape, both on very limited edition pressings.



The band re-entered the studio (this time their own Quake Sound Studios facilities) to push the envelope a little further and properly celebrate those 25 years of noise no less. The result is ''Old Skull”, not just another cover album but a faithful revisitation of Necrodeath' rust-free oldschool roots, recorded, packaged and released in true underground style. Including appearances by ex-Necrodeath, ex-Schizo and Bulldozer members, "Old Skull" is strength, cult and ritual consistency from beginning to end. 
Twenty-five years of insanity & macabre, and still thrashing black.
Rise up from the flames and do celebrate the horror with them. NECRODEATH.
