Helion Prime have released their third single and today's Video Of The Day, 'The Gadfly', from the upcoming album, 'Question Everything', due out on Monday 5th October, via their label Saibot Reigns. Based on the Greek philosopher Socrates, the latest single is part of a highly anticipated concept album, with each song revolving around different figures throughout human history that had the courage to question the status quo of their respective worlds/societies. It's been about two years since the band's sophomore release, 'Terror of the Cybernetic Space Monster', and it's the Sacramento Sci-Fi Power Metallers first album with new vocalist Mary Zimmer, who has also accompanied the band on two separate tours of the United States, complemented of course by Jason Ashcraft - rhythm guitars, Chad Anderson - lead guitars, Jeremy Steinhouse - bass and Alex Bosson - drums.

"These two albums constitute CPR’s entire studio output and it’s good to have them available again. If they are well received perhaps it may lead to the reissue on CD of the band’s two live digital albums, ‘Live At Cuesta College’ (1998) and ‘Live At The Wiltern’ (1999).” Today read another one of our great album reviews, as Gary Smith gives you his take here on not just one, but two albums, 'CPR' and 'Just Like Gravity', released by Crosby Pevar Raymond at the end of July, of which the track, 'Morrison', is today's Video Of The Day.

Last Friday Jim Kirkpatrick released his brand new solo album, ‘Ballad of a Prodigal Son’, on US One Records, of which his latest single taken from the album, ‘Ain’t Goin’ Down Alone’, is today's Video Of The Day. Following on from his 2006 debut ‘Changed Priorities’, this new album took some time to assemble, due to Jim’s FMcommitments to touring all over the World, including playing at some of the world’s biggest and most prestigious Rock festivals, and supporting top-flight Rock icons, as well as his recording and touring commitments with some of the UK’s top talent. Having also accumulated over two decades of experience as one of the UK’s most in demand session players, ‘Ballad of a Prodigal Son’ has a very different sound and feel to his debut though. It’s less ‘acoustical’, and indeed Jim has called on a wealth of friends and colleagues in its making, that really showcases where he is today as a guitarist and songwriter.

Norwich’s Apollo Stands demonstrate their unique brand of Metalcore on their politically-charged new track, and today's Video Of The Day, ‘Shitty Zombies’, released yesterday on One Eyed Toad Records. 'Shitty Zombies' was recorded in the band’s own custom studio and was mixed and mastered by producer Tom Joy. "The song is not about the much loved George A. Romero's brain-eating, living dead zombies", states vocalist Ry Haze. "No, it's about the brain dead hoard that ‘run’ the world. They feast on the poor and vulnerable, they attack the ones who stand against them and they cast out the ones who could bring them down. This isn't a song about infecting a person, this is a song about infecting a nation."
