Appealing to fans of Heavy Metal, Hair Metal and Hard Rock, with the swagger and sleaze of early Aerosmith, the musical darkness of Alice In Chains, mixed with a marriage of old school Rock bands like Iron Maiden, Van Halen and AC/DC, last year Paul Lidel’s Scream Therapy released their self titled debut album on Perris Records, thirteen aggressive and instantly memorable songs from the quartet, led by vocalist/guitarist Lidel, of which the album track, 'Alibi', is one of today's six of the best 'Thursday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further recent and forthcoming releases from Blood Opera, MELØ, Yokophono, Sounds Of New Soma and Atrophy.

Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further recent and forthcoming releases from Octavian Winters, Rachel Sermanni, Barrus, Majic and Brume.
