Melbourne, Australia’s Progressive Metal ensemble, Teramaze, first release for The Mascot Label Group - ‘Her Halo’ hits music stores today! Teramaze was originally formed during lead guitarist/producer Dean Wells teenage years. The band put out a couple albums in the early years, but it wasn’t until the release of ‘Anhedonia’ in 2012 that Wells felt the modern version of Teramaze actually began. That third album was met with critical acclaim, as was the follow up of 2014’s ‘Esoteric Symbolism’, which saw the quartet making a bolder statement and taking no prisoners to flex their musical muscle even further. Now with new vocalist Nathan Peachey, Teramaze have arrived with their cinematic ‘Her Halo’ - a new beginning that not only brings about more potential, but promise as well. The vid for the first single off ‘Her Halo’ - ‘Out of Subconscious’ - is today's Track Of The Day!

We were deighted to hear from former WRC Award winner Clare Free (pictured at the Colour House Theatre, Merton, in 2011) who is expecting a baby just before Christmas! Of course this means time off from the road for Clare and gives her the time to work on some new music! Anyway, her new single 'Sniper Fire' here is now out now and available from all major download sites. It blends samples, loops, hip hop drum beats and programed sounds with live guitars and vocals. Clare added "I have wanted to make music like this for a long time and now I have had the chance to do so and personally I love it." For any feedback or to contact Clare, please visit her website here.

"If Sambora’s departure offered any chances for the remaining band members to reconnect or reinvent themselves, they have been squarely ignored. JBJ, for example, could have revisited the confessionalism of his 1997 solo album, Destination Anywhere’. Keyboard player David Bryan – the composer behind Broadway musical ‘Memphis’ – might finally have been given a moment to shine. They could have tried, well, something new. Instead, ‘Burning Bridges’ is the sound of a band at its least inspired – many of these tunes are cast-offs from old sessions, dusted off and, presumably, spitefully overdubbed with new guitar parts (no credits are included)."
