19.10.2009 MANDRAGORA SCREAM
|
|
| | New album "Volturna"
The New Album “VOLTURNA”
Volturna is the natural evolution of the sound by the well know italian band Mandragora Scream. This evolution started after the very first releases and reached the top of songwriting, at least up top now, with "Madhouse". This fact is confirmed by the performance of the sales and moreover by the appreciation shown by critics and public, which brought the single "Dark Lantern" to be one of the most clicked songs in the web.
With "Volturna", Mandragora Scream once more show a different aspect as a very strong industrial component accompanies the new melodies created by Terry Horn, without loosing the basic characteristic of the band that is to say the vampire//gothic influence, thanks to some classical inserts played by unusual instruments as harpsichord and to the superb vocal performance by Morgan Lacroix who strongly marks as usual the Mandragora Scream style.
The album is made by 16 songs, 13 new releases, 2 covers and one intro. The two covers are "Bang bang" written by Sonny Bono for his wife Cher and " Fade to Grey", a real masterpiece from the 80s by Visage.
"Heartbound Eve" sees the cooperation of the Spanish maestro Julio Alves Olivares Merino.
The firstt single from "Volturna" is "Breaking Down" which is also accompained by a videoclip which will be released at the same time of the album on the web and on the European Rock Tvs.
The European tour together with Christian Death and 69 Eyes will give the possibility to listen to "Volturna" live in about 30 dates.
"Volturna" is an album in which great melodies and fantastic lyrics are present. This will certainly be a basic album in the global Gothic Metal scene, a small jem ready to explode in your stereos or, as Morgan Lacroix would probably say, ready to explode in your nightmares..

MASSACRE RECORDS SIGNS KITTIE
NEW ALBUM, IN THE BLACK, TO BE RELEASED ON October 23, 2009
Massacre Records announces the addition of Canada’s KITTIE to its roster for Europe, licensed from E1 Music. Under this deal, KITTIE will release three albums for the label.
KITTIE (Morgan Lander—vocals and guitar, Mercedes Lander—drums, Tara McLeod—guitar, and Ivy Vujic—bass guitar) has released four studio albums during its career which have sold collectively over 1,250,000 copies. The band’s new album, IN THE BLACK, is slated for release in Europe on October 23rd, 2009. Some new songs on the album are “Cut Throat, “Sorrow I Know” and “My Plague.”
KITTIE vocalist Morgan Lander says, “We are totally thrilled and honored to be working with Massacre Records. We have been hard at work for the past few months perfecting our latest musical offering and are pleased with the final result of IN THE BLACK. It is everything that Kittie is supposed to be: heavy, fast, brash and nasty, yet at times introspective, feminine and emotional. One thing it is not, however, is compromising of the sound and style that we have come to be known for. This s*** is HEAVY! Our new label pairing with E1/Massacre will actualize the vision that we have held constant over the years for the band."
Currently the band is working on Fall tour plans and will be shooting two videos during the month of July.

| | New album
Inmoria started in April 2008 by former Tad Morose drummer Dan Eriksson.
He was away from the music scene for about 10 years when he suddenly felt the need to start writing music again. So he bought studio equipment and built his own studio in his house in Bollnäs, Sweden.
At first, Dan played all the instruments by himself but he soon realized that what he needed was a full line up. So he called up his long time friend Christer “Krunt” Andersson, guitarist in Tad Morose, and asked him to come and listen to some of the songs that he had written.
Christer liked what he heard and Dan asked him if he was interested in joining the project, and he was.
Peter Morén (Tad Morose, Steel Attack) was asked by "Krunt" to join the project to play drums. And they brought in Tommi Karppanen (Tad Morose, God Awful Machine) to take care of the bass. Discussions about a singer took place and they soon asked Charles "Chulle" Rytkönen (Morgana Lefay) to come and try out some vocals. The result was exceptional and he was also asked to join the project and then the line up was complete.
Then Dan sat down and started to come up with a name for the band. He is a great fan of Lord Of The Rings and he started to analyze the movies. Then, when he heard the actors talking about the dwarfs mine “Moria” he knew that that would be a perfect name. And he then added “In” and the circle was complete. The atmospheres in the mines in the movies are so dark and brooding and that is a reflection of Inmorias music.
After they had uploaded some of the tracks on their MySpace website, the response was phenomenal and they were overloaded with emails from all over the world. After a while they signed a deal with German based record company Massacre Records. And the world now awaits their debut album.
