WISHING WELL featuring GRAHAM BONNET On Debut Single 'Hippie Heart Gypsy Soul'

Wishing Well are a hard rock band hailing from Helsinki Finland. 'Hippie Heart Gypsy Soul' is the first single taken from the 'Chasing Rainbows' debut album to be released on 5th of February via Inverse Records. For the single the band joined forces with legendary hard rock vocalist Graham Bonnet (Rainbow, Michael Schenker Group, Alcatrazz) and came up with a catchy and melodic hard rock song.

'We wanted something extra to boost the album and when we wrote 'Hippie' we instantly realized that Graham would be a perfect vocalist for the song in many ways. I'm a lifelong fan of Graham myself and it's fantastic that we made it at the end of the day. Pete (vocalist Peter James Goodman) had no problem with it since he's a big fan too! I'm proud and pleased with the result and it's just amazing that at 68 he's still delivering the goods' says Anssi Korkiakoski, the song writer and guitar player of Wishing Well.

Graham Bonnet will be very busy this year since he's releasing a new album on Frontier Records and an authorized biography later on this spring, written by Steve Wright. He'll also play live in Finland in April after his Australian tour. 'The guys got in touch and after I heard the song I was immediately ready to give it a go. It's a catchy tune and perfect for my range. I like the lyrics too. We recorded my vocals in LA and the guys took care of the rest of it in Finland. I'm always ready to cooperate if it's a serious band with a good song. I wish the guys all the best.'

The band is now promoting the single and CD with plans to play live as much as they can later on this year. The band consists of Anssi Korkiakoski (guitars), Rip Radioactive (drums), Richard Becker (bass) and Peter James Goodman (vocals), all experienced musicians who have cut their teeth in many other bands before Wishing Well.

R.I.P DAVID BOWIE - Legend, Icon, Genius

David Bowie R.I.P.  Can't even fathom that. One of the greatest artists ever. Totally unmatchable in his field. So many iconic songs. 
 
Just unbelievable to see an icon leave us the very week a new album was released. 
An 18 month battle with cancer ends his reign as the King of pop/rock innovation. 
 
Didn't love everything he put out, but such was his diverse and brilliant career, you had no choice to take notice and admire such creativity. 
 
For me, the Lets Dance album is a pop masterpiece that remains evergreen. 
 
RIP David.

After signing to Nuclear Blast for Europe for their New album 'FOR ALL KINGS' ANTHRAX have now signed for AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND!
'FOR ALL KINGS' will be released on 26th February in several formats.
Nuclear Blast Australia & New Zealand's John Howarth says 'I am so proud to continue a long standing relationship with ANTHRAX. The album is their crowning glory. It is a true masterpiece. This album will add another decade to their career and will open the doors to a whole new fanbase''

ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian states ''For All Kings is the MOST METAL Anthrax album ever. Fitting for all our most metal friends in Australia and New Zealand. I can't wait for you all to hear this and headbang your brains out. See you all soon! #earboners''

2 Tracks have been released so far: ''EVIL TWIN'' & ''BREATHING LIGHTNING''
 
Cover Art: Says ANTHRAX drummer Charlie Benante: "The cover art for this record is again done by Alex Ross, who is probably one of the greatest artists living. And he did our previous covers."

He continues: "My idea for this one was to show this hall and these huge statues of these kings - who, of course, are us - and trying to tie in the last album cover with these creatures who are drawn into this room with our ANTHRAX 'A.' This one, you'll see those creatures in this hall kind of trying to reach up at these kings. We tried to tie in the last two album covers with this album cover. And when you see it, it's beautiful. It's grandiose. It just has this beautiful look to it. And, yeah, it's gonna be a great album cover."
View: ANTHRAX - For All Kings Artwork (OFFICIAL TRAILER)

 
''For All Kings' represents one of the best ANTHRAX records with Joey Belladonna on lead vocals. Twisted and complicated riffs, warped drumming, powerful vocals and a lot of raging guitar solo describes perfectly their excellent health status. A must have.' METALITALIA.COM
 
''For All Kings' is the album any ANTHRAX fan would have wanted after Among the Living. Fierce, Catchy, fast and focused' ROLLING STONE (IT)
 
''For All Kings' is a punch in the face! Vicious guitars, growling bass, explosive drums, powerful vocals... ANTHRAX to the top and beyond!' GUITAR CLUB (IT)

 
Many more details to come!
