Classic Rock icon Adrian Vandenberg returns with his Vandenberg’s MoonKings and their brand new official video for ‘What Doesn’t Kill You’ (today's Video Of The Day) taken from their recently released album ‘MKII’ on Mascot Records. Four years after Adrian Vandenberg made a spectacular comeback with Vandenberg’s MoonKings, the four-piece manage to create a perfect blend of vintage seventies and Heavy rock. Adrian Vandenberg shines as a bonafide guitar virtuoso, while the rest of the band deliver a powerhouse performance. You can also catch them on tour next year at London's Underworld in Camden on Saturday 17th February.

Today's Blues On The Marsh Track Of The Day, originally broadcast on Friday night, features a a chat and music from Kaz Hawkins, plus music from Ghalia and Mama's Boys, Willie May, Supersonic Blues Machine (pictured), JD McPherson, Jarekus Singleton, Dirty Dave Osti, Lex and Joe, Naomi Shelton and The Gospel Queens, Texas Johnny Brown, Basson Laubscher and The Violent Free Peace.

‘The New Reality’ (today's Video Of The Day) is the third and final chapter in the musical trilogy from iconic Metal vocalist Geoff Tate. Due to be released on Friday 1st December, it comes just over a year after the release of the second chapter, entitled ‘Resurrection’, and two since the first, ‘The Key’. Operation: Mindcrime is a creative platform that continues in the spirit of the historic Queensrÿche album of the same name, spawning concepts as grand as the music, and intertwining the intensity of Tate’s iconic past with his former band and the provocative, progressive mindset that has made him one of music's most resolute forces and frontmen. Tate is joined by a cast of musicians - Kelly Gray, John Moyer, Simon Wright, Scott Mercado, Scott Moughton, Brian Tichy and Mike Ferguson, whose talent and resumés speak volumes for the quality of musicianship on display here.

"Jones' opening drums heralded 'Pressure Valve', the first song on the album, again with great guitar work from Black accompanied by haunting vocals from Turner - critical comparisons to any early Elkie Brooks totally understandable. However, after the hard paced rocker 'Healing Hand' with excellent vocal jousting harmonies between Black and Turner - they saved their best for last - with Zep's 'Since I've Been Loving You' - which was awesome." That was part of our take on Born Healer at BluesRockFest in September 2016 and the band return to London's iconic 100 Club this coming Tuesday supporting Big Gil Gilson & Blues Dynamite (featuring Del Bromham no less) and Crow Black Chicken.

"With Marguerita flitting off an on the stage during instrumental interludes - a theme throughout a great set - the next three songs were from the aforementioned 'Given The Impossible' - namely 'A Gentle Warrior' - a delightful fusion of Alexandriou's vocal and Minn's keyboards complemented by some great fret work from Warren, Minn's beautiful piano instrumental on the Emerson sounding 'Letterboxing' and then the superb much heavier and climatic 'Dinosaurs'." That was part of our recent Progtoberfest 2 gig review and the good news is that two of the bands that played that day - The Far Meadow (pictured and Track Of The Day) and The Gift - are playing Prog for Peace with Konchordat and The Room at The Iron Horse, 122 Station Road ,Sidcup DA15 7AB today at 4pm.

Empyre have recently released their version of 'My Immortal' (Video Of The Day) by Evanescence. The four-piece perform intense, atmospheric Rock, with a dark and introspective edge to their writing.

Having carved out a vibrant online presence, a strong fan base, an intense sound, coupled with a live show that has fans transfixed with their ferocious musicianship and a captivating lead vocal, Empyre are clearly on an near vertical upwards trajectory.
