Currently preparing new songs for the follow-up to their well received 2021 self-titled debut album, Italian Metallers ScreaMachine released a new EP entitled ‘Borderline' via Frontiers Music Srl, earlier this month, featuring four songs: an acoustic version of previous single ‘The Metal Monster’ featuring Michele Guaitoli (Visions Of Atlantis, Temperance) on guest vocals, a new recording of ‘Mistress Of Disaster’ with new guitarist Edoardo Taddei, a live rendition of their cover of Judas Priest classic ‘Leather Rebel’, plus a gloriously fast and loud title track, which is also one of today's six of the best 'Friday Rocks!" Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further new and recent releases from Madman's Lullaby, Apate, Graveshadow, Dvne and Born In Ruin.

Known for their long, imagery songs, as well as their energetic live shows, today's lyric Video Of The Day of 'King', is taken from Finnish Progressive Metallers Fireproven's farewell album, 'Epilogue', that's due to be released next Friday 27th May. At the beginning of this year, the band consisting of Sanna Solanterä - lead singer, Janne Väätämöinen - guitar and backing vocals, Juha Väätämöinen - bass and vocals, Ilari Hannula - keyboards and Nuutti Hannula - drums, announced that after this album they will be disbanded, with all shows cancelled. Their first album, 'Future Diary', not only got great scores in multiple reviews, but also saw the International Music Video Contest award their music video, 'Shine', with best director of photography. Indeed, the band have prided themselves on their technical abilities and musical versatility, breaking boundaries with their unique sound.

Best known as front man and founding member of Canada's Juno award winning supergroup, Prism, Al Harlow delivered ten powerful new originals on his latest album,' Al Harlow - NOW!', that was released on Valentine's Day, with contributions from a who’s who of Canadian talent, such as the thunderous radio Rock opener, 'Let It Go', featuring a stinging lead guitar from guest star Sean Kelly of Nelly Furtado, which is also one of today's six of the best 'Thursday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further new and recent releases from The Beast Of England, Ecorse Creek Orchestra, Rebel Priest, London Plane and One From The North.

"It’s high octane, frenetically powerful stuff that gets the pulses racing from track one, an outstanding cover of Sam and Dave’s 'Hold On (I’m comin’)' that epitomises their sound, displaying an urgent New Wave style high energy with full on guitar riffing and power chords abounding." That was part of our take on The Bad Day Blues Band album, 'Table By the Wall', released in February last year, so when we recently got a tweet from the guys asking, "Hey heard the new track yet? It kicks ass…", how could we resist featuring 'When The Cage Comes Down', taken from their new album, 'The Bad Day', out next month, as today's Video Of The Day, plus plugging their album launch party at Camden's The Black Heart in London (pictured) on Friday 15th July.

Formed in 2015 in Greensboro, North Carolina, Old Heavy Hands forge a compelling brand of heartfelt Southern Rock informed as much by the Muscle Shoals tradition as the DIY Punk Rock of their youth, and not only have they just recorded their latest album, 'Small Fires', but they have also launched a Pilsner beer of the same name, to coincide with the release of their first single from the album, 'Runaround', a product of incredible suffering, which is also one of today's six of the best 'Wednesday Rocks!'
