1500 LP SELLOUT (Updated Link)

 
Twenty or so boxes from my mate JB’s (RIP) amazing collection have been catalogued so far. The remaining boxes will most likely be added straight to Discogs (will keep everyone informed) one at a time.
 
The titles on this list will be added there also, but you get first look.
 
There are titles from several genres, with classic rock and metal the dominant of course.
 
Please note – the records listed haven’t been graded here, but I have seen all of them and by and large, the vast majority are near mint or close, but the odd one here and there had a notable exception. After wants are emailed in, I will pull the record out and verify conditions etc…
 
There are a number of the oldest titles have a small band of clear tape along the open spine (obviously added at the time for protection), I will also advise if that applies.
 
Please email any wants (with best offer) to – ajm@melodicrock.com

R.I.P ANDRE MATOS

Artist: 
 
From Andre Matos' official Facebook page comes this terribly sad news, the former Angra vocalist has died from a heart attack at just age 47.
 
"It is with deep regret that we confirm the passing of André This Saturday morning due to a heart stop.
 
As many know, he was an extremely reserved person - and manifested in life, for more than once, the desire not to have a wake.
 
Respecting His will, he will be cremated today with the presence only of relatives.
 
We thank everyone for understanding and we count on you so that André's memory and legacy remain alive forever.
 
Carry on."

Neal Schon - "Purple Rain" (Paying Tribute To Prince)

 
Honoring and Remembering PRINCE on his Birthday with my guitar soaring high to heaven and carrying his spirit and music on. His music lives forever.
 
"Prince, pancakes and Journey guitar riffs at 4 am.... late eighties and I am sitting with Prince on the floor in his apartment at Paisley Park. We’ve listened to Joni Mitchell, Peter Gabriel and I notice a worn Journey Escape record in his collection. Surprised I turned to him and said “Never took you for a Journey fan”. He gave me that doe eyed look that always made me uncomfortable and said: “Neal Schon is one of my favorite guitarists on the planet, he is a genius.”
 
I thought it only fitting that Neal would return the respect by playing a fiery, inspired version of “Purple Rain”. Having worked for Prince for the last few years of his life Neal’s beautiful interpretation makes the loss of the colossal talent of “P” a little less sad. They are each prodigy’s that have woven themselves into the fabric of our lives and our lives are richer as a result." ~

Dambusters Release "All The Way To Your Heart" Single

Artist: 
Raw and unpolished, "All The Way To Your Heart" is rock n' roll in its purest, most unadulterated form and represents Dambusters at their incendiary best. Recorded mostly live at an undisclosed location on Long Island, NY, in the fall of 2017, "All The Way To Your Heart" is rock n' roll how it's meant to be heard... dirty, ballsy and unbound; it is sexy, groove-laden, no-frills hard rock honoring a tradition forged by the likes of AC/DC, early Led Zeppelin, T. Rex and others. Prepare to be thoroughly seduced like it's the '70s!
 
"All The Way To Your Heart" features the guitar histrionics of ex-Noisy Mama main-man Jimmy Gumina, the bombastic rhythm section of New York veterans, Freddy Villano (of Quiet Riot and Widowmaker fame) on bass and Vic Pullen (Larry Mitchell, Francis Dunnery and others) on drums, and a guest appearance by the world-class lead vocalist Jimmy Kunes (Cactus, Humble Pie Live, Savoy Brown),
 
Produced by Dambusters
File Restoration & Mastering by Stacy O'Dell
Recorded (mostly live) by Jimmy Gumina & Simone Tonsi
Written by Gumina, Kunes, Pullen, Villano

"All The Way To Your Heart" performed by Dambusters:
Jimmy Gumina - guitars

...and featuring special guest, Jimmy Kunes on vocals

Chaos Magic feat. Caterina Nix - "I'm Your Cancer" (Official Music Video)

 
Special Chaos Magic Live Performance/Stream On Frontiers' Facebook Page This Saturday!
 
Chilean metal band Chaos Magic have premiered a video for the song 'I'm Your Cancer' from the upcoming album, "Furyborn".
 
Caterina Nix says of the song and video, "I wrote the lyrics for 'I'm Your Cancer' thinking about an abusive relationship. It's something that happens often. I've seen so many couples who operate with aggression back and forth and in the news, we see crimes of passion that have their root in these kind of love/hate toxic relationships all the time. So I thought it was an interesting and relevant topic to write about, to put out there for discussion, using music as a tool.
 
As for the musical inspiration, I wanted to have a heavy, catchy rhythm like the ones you would find in Korn’s music, and strong, heavy guitars with alternative metal elements. I also added an operatic choir for the intro which gives it a bit of a symphonic metal feel. I also created a very listenable and singable chorus, which makes it a perfect song to play live."
 
To celebrate the release of the new song and video, plus the impending release of the new album, Chaos Magic will stream a special live performance this Saturday on Frontiers' Facebook page. Tune in to https://www.facebook.com/frontiersmusicsrl at 5pm EST/10pm GMT/11pm CET on June 8th to see the band play!
 
CHAOS MAGIC is centered around Chilean vocalist Caterina Nix who, for this sophomore release from the band, worked in close collaboration with fellow Chilean producer, singer, and musician Nasson. Together, they have created an absolute gem of a metal album.
