Released last Friday, ’Songs The Night Sings’ (Track Of The Day) is the second album by The Dark Element featuring vocalist Anette Olzon and Finnish guitarist and songwriter Jani Liimatainen, and takes up where their self-titled 2017 debut left off, with immaculate vocals from Anette and fabulous anthems written by Jani. Ever since word about The Dark Element first got out, fans were frothing with anticipation. And no wonder, considering the talents involved. Anette is widely known for her two hit albums by Nightwish, while Jani has recently been busy in Insomnium and Cain's Offering (alongside Stratovarius singer Timo Kotipelto) but had also made a deep impression on power Metal fans following the twelve years he had spent in Sonata Arctica after co-founding that band.

Two years after their exciting debut 'Heroes In Time', the Swedish Melodic Metal renewers Metalite return with new singer Erica Ohlsson and their AFM debut album 'Biomechanicals'. A richer production, stronger songwriting and an elusive and mysterious aura, distinguishes 'Biomechanicals' from everything you already know about Melodic and Symphonic Metal. Futuristic and glimmering, that differentiates lyrically from the rivalry, Metalite's expert use of electronic elements, influenced by the Trance era of early 21st century, sees sphaeric layers mix with flirring sequences and stoic beats, that fit like a second skin for this massive, melodic and outrageous catchy soundwall.

Riff juggernaut Pist, who released their new album ‘Hailz’ last Friday through APF Records, have shared a guitar play through video for new single ‘If I Was You...’ which is today's Track Of The Day. The Bury, Lancashire, based quartet’s album features seven tracks that see them taking a step away from the Stoner-Doom label they were tagged with. ‘Hailz’ is a record that will grab the attention of fans of Orange Goblin, Kvelertak, Motörhead, Entombed, Uada and Black Breath, making Pist one of the standout bands in the current UK underground heavy scene. Consisting of Dave Rowlands - vocals, John Nicholson - guitars, Mike Collins - bass, & backing vocals Andy Hunt - drums, the band will be touring next year, including London's The Dev on Friday 20th March.

After gaining notoriety across the Alt-Rock scene culminating in their 'Young Beauties and Fools' album winning the 2018 Juno award for Best Rock Album, The Glorious Sons’ incisive new album ‘A War On Everything’ (Video Of The Day) gets a UK release on Friday 6th December. The daring 14-track collection is rife with vulnerability and searing insight into universal truths about anxiety, sadness and isolation in the 21st century, coupled with raw soulful lyrics. Hailing from Kingston, Ontario, the band currently continue on their lengthy European tour following their recent UK leg.

"Act of the night were Cloven Hoof. The veteran NWOBHM 5 piece hailing from the Midlands sound exactly like what they are. Iron Maiden and Judas Priest are both bands that spring to mind. Marshall amps and Gibson LTD guitars, strong wailing vocals, black leather and pentagrams. It's classic yet still fresh. Frontman George Call struts a la Dickinson/Halford in front of hugely powerful sound. It's just a shame that the arena didn't showcase either the sound or the show in it's best light. But a great set well received." Today read the whole of Mother's Hard Rock Hell 13 Day 1 review here from Great Yarmouth on Thursday night, plus check out our initial Photo Gallery here.

Following the release of his new album 'Backroad Symphony', back in May we introduced you to Nashville artist Dee Rock and Dee completes his UK tour in London tonight at Camden's The Dublin Castle. Rock's Lone Star roots run deep, tracing his family from the time of Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie at the Alamo, to today. Both of Dee's parents are music lovers and raised their children on a soundtrack ranging from Motown to Grand Ole Opry, with artists like BB King, Ray Charles, Johnny Cash and The Allman Brothers. All of that great music has shaped Dee Rock's style and sent him down the road he's on. Rock has found success in both sides of the music industry ~ on stage and off ~ from producing artists and song writing for various record companies including Virgin, EMI and Capitol Records, to writing the soundtrack for the Warner Bros. film 'Divas'.
