AOR Heaven is proud to announce the release of Swedish, upcoming Hard Rock band BULLETRAIN’s second album which is entitled “What You Fear The Most”. The album will be available from September 23.
Crafted through restlessness and wishes for something bigger, the great escape from everyday life began almost exactly ten years ago. The band expanded its fan base by playing along with bands such as Crashdïet, Bullet and Crazy Lixx, as a part of the new wave of Swedish Sleaze. Bulletrain stuck out as a heavier band than its competitors, with influences like Black Sabbath, Skid Row and Pantera.
After various line-up changes and the release of two EP’s and one digital single, AOR Heaven’s CEO Georg Siegl signed the Swedes for his label - the album “Start Talking” finally was released in 2014. Their music got great reviews all around Europe and the band played in Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Netherlands and Belgium together with bands like Epica, Warrior Soul, Hardcore Superstar and mega drummer Mike Terrana getting an overwhelming and great response as a live act.
With their hearts in the songwriting the band felt during the summer of 2015 it was time to start working on their second album and strike while the iron was hot. In November 2015 Bulletrain flew to Riga in Latvia and started recording the music for the ten songs on the album in the great “Sound Division Studios”. Ten days of hard work, high hopes and hangovers was spent in Riga. Then the band flew back to Stockholm, Sweden and headed to RamPacs studio “Ramtitam”(CrashDïet, Mick Mars, Swingfly) to record the vocals. And another intense process that lasted for another ten days was on the roll.
The fall of 2016 is soon here and Bulletrain is ready to bring you a surprise in the dark and show you “What you fear the most”. A ten track CD filled with heavy guitars, high pitched vocals and badass sing-a-long choruses. The album is mixed by the Grammy Award winning producer Tobias Lindell, the mind behind the music from bands like Hardcore Superstar, Europe and H.e.a.t to name a few. A collaboration that took Bulletrain’s music to another level and also introduced the band to the world famous mastering engineer Vlado Meller (SlipKnot, Metallica, Michael Jackson, Pink Floyd).

MelodicRock Records is once again thrilled to work with THE RADIO SUN for the release of their brilliant third album Outside Looking In on September 30. The boys continue where they left off, with vocal harmonies, soaring guitar solos and catchy choruses once again dominating.
Outside Looking In showcases a progression from the band's debut album Wrong Things Right and the critically acclaimed Heaven Or Heartbreak. There's a good balance of uptempo songs with some superb ballads that sees the band throwback to bands like Firehouse and Trixter along with a good dose of Jani Laine/Warrant school of song writing.
The boys continue where they left off, with vocal harmonies, soaring guitar solos and catchy choruses once again dominating.
Ex-Danger Danger vocalist Paul Laine lends a hand with production duties and also features on the song Wink and Smile with a dual lead vocal alongside lead vocalist Jason Old.
Guitarist Stevie Janevski was also buzzed to have Brett Garsed of John Farnham and Nelson fame play a guest solo on the track Falling For You.
The first single 'Switch Off The World Tonight' reminds us of classic Damn Yankees with its catchy intro and feel-good chorus.
The band is rounded out with the thunderous rhythm section of Robbie Erdmanis on bass and Ben Wignall on drums...guys that are no slouches in the vocal dept. either, filling the album with those now trademark harmonies!

Hi folks...
On Tuesday our little guy Toby was admitted to hospital. He's still there and he's getting great care and will be home soon.
As you can appreciate, work takes a backseat and Toby will require some extra special attention for a little while at least.
So while I will do my best to post updates and respond to emails and process orders placed, please forgive any delays and know that I will get to these tasks whenever possible.
There's a bunch of orders that need posting out and a few hundred emails waiting, plus news to catch up on....
Because of the sudden departure and separation from David Reece after two very successful charting CDs GLÖRIOUS & the double album PEARLS the place of the lead vocalist and Frontman of BONFIRE became vacant.
Originally BONFIRE found a new shouter in Michael Bormann, however, prior obligations kept him from starting his duties with Bonfire until mid-October 2016.
As so-called "transition singer" ALEXX STEEL (MASTERS OF DISGUISE, ROXXCALIBUR) spontaneously offered his help so BONFIRE where able to play the agreed 16 summer events .
ALEXX STAHL uses this time and concerts in order to sing himself into the hearts of the fans and the band members.
That he is a great musician, BONFIRE knew, but that it would also function as human friendly and makes so much fun to work with him to act and to travel, that was already a pleasant surprise.Alexx is a real gentleman!
Therefore, the musicians around band founder HANS ZILLER decided to undertake Alexx permanently as the new Bonfire singer.
Our big thank you goes to Michael Bormann - which is certainly an absolute exceptional singer , and this he has been proved for years in various projects - for his willingness to enter into BONFIRE and also for his understanding to our final decision and wish him for his future musical path only the very best. And we all mean that honestly !!!!!
The new BONFIRE - STUDIO ALBUM appears in the March / April 2017
