Demonic Resurrection Reveal New Album Details

noreply@blogger.com (NAKTALA METAL PALLY) — Fri, 02 May 2014 00:23:00 +0000

Indian metal veterans Demonic Resurrection have announced the release of their 4th full-length album titled 'The Demon King'. The album is due for release worldwide on Candlelight Records and on Universal Music in India.

Release dates:

India: 13th July

UK & Europe: 14th July

USA: 15th July

"We have always played around with unnamed forces of darkness in the past. With this release, we felt the need for an evil overlord to take the reigns and bring in the apocalypse. A savage and unstoppable force such as this had to be a definitive and commanding figure, which is why we came up with The Demon King." said Mephisto (Keyboards) explaining the album title.

Demonstealer further commented "This album has been 4 years in the making and we're more than excited to release it. We're also extremely happy to renew our deal with Candlelight Records who will put out the album worldwide and also our new relationship with Universal Music who will release the album in India."

The band's last album 'The Return To Darkness' was released in 2010 on Candlelight Records worldwide and Demonstealer Records in India.

Demonic Resurrection to perform at Wacken
Open Air and Les-Fest

Indian Metal band Demonic Resurrection will be performing at the Wacken Open Air 2014 in northern Germany, which will take place from 31 July to 2 August. The festival, in its 25th year, is the biggest open air heavy metal festival in the world and is already sold out.

Sahil ‘Demonstealer' Makhija, vocalist and rhythm guitarist with Demonic Resurrection, spoke about how the band got in touch with the festival. "We as a band have been approaching festivals for a long time now, which is the logical step for any band of our level. Two years ago, Wacken started the Metal Battle in India, where the winning band played the battle of the bands at Wacken. The promoter of that show started the Bangalore Open Air in India, which we performed at in 2013. There, we met some of the people from WOA. I guess that probably helped us is some way, and also helped them put a face to the band that they have been receiving mails from; and then, obviously, seeing us live as well," explained Makhija.

The 14 year-old band plans on heading to Europe early and will begin with Scotland where, they will perform at the Les-Fest in Glasgow on 17 June. Following that, they will be doing a run of shows across UK and Europe, and will end their Euro-tour with Wacken.

“Where Did All The Rock Stars Go?” - Ozzy Osbourne

noreply@blogger.com (NAKTALA METAL PALLY) — Thu, 01 May 2014 07:46:00 +0000

Ozzy Osbourne is clueless as to who will 'carry the flag' for rock stars from now on.

The 65-year-old musician was the frontman of legendary band Black Sabbath and has also had a successful solo career. Having now left his wild days behind, Ozzy admits he's concerned about who can take over his reputation.

"That might be a very true statement," he commented to Kerrang! magazine when asked if he thinks music is suffering from a lack of rock stars. "I honestly don't know who's going to carry the flag in the future, but I wish someone would hurry up. None of us are getting any younger, you know."

Ozzy also named one of his idols in the
music industry. Insisting someone must be an 'extrovert' to be considered a rock star, he explained why he looks up to one particular musician. "David Bowie comes to mind. He's always original with his image and music. Nowadays, I have a problem telling who's in the band and who's in the crew ... no one looks like a rock star!" Ozzy mused.

The raven-haired singer landed the 23rd spot in Kerrang!'s 50 Greatest Rockstars In The World Today. Asked why he thinks he made the list this year, Ozzy believes his band helped him gain the title.

"[Why?] Probably because I'm Ozzy Osbourne!" he quipped. "But the past year, with the success of Sabbath's 13 album and the world tour, probably didn't hurt."

Lastly, Ozzy revealed he never dreamed of becoming such a big name in music, revealing he thought he'd end up a plumber.

Scorpions drummer jailed for insulting Islam in Dubai

noreply@blogger.com (NAKTALA METAL PALLY) — Wed, 30 Apr 2014 07:34:00 +0000

Rocker James Kottak has been jailed in Dubai for insulting Islam.

According to The National newspaper, the Scorpions drummer will spend a month behind bars in the United Arab Emirates after he was convicted on Tuesday morning.

Kottak was arrested after reportedly raising his middle finger, flashing his backside at passengers and being under the influence of alcohol while in transit at Dubai airport on April 3.

He was en route from Russia to Bahrain for a Scorpions gig. He failed to make it to the 5 April concert.

According to The Gulf News, Kottak admitted to drinking but denied the other charges.

Police reports suggest the drummer verbally attacked passengers, calling them "non-educated Muslims", before dropping his trousers and flashing his middle finger at them.

In court, the rocker told prosecutors, "I don't remember saying these words and I did not flash my middle finger... There is no way that I would say such a phrase about Muslims, whether I was drunk or not... I confess to drinking alcohol but I refuse the other two charges, I did not do them."

He also denied taking down his trousers, adding, "This is not true. I just lifted my shirt up to show the tattoo on my back."

In addition to his jail sentence, Kottak was fined 2,000 dirhams for drinking alcohol without a licence.

He has been in custody since his arrest and this time will be deducted from his sentence.

Kottak has been a member of the Scorpions since 1996.

The Scorpions' manager didn't respond to requests for comment. Kottak's local lawyer couldn't immediately be reached.

JUDAS PRIEST 'Redeemer Of Souls' Title Track Streaming

noreply@blogger.com (NAKTALA METAL PALLY) — Tue, 29 Apr 2014 02:22:00 +0000

The "Redeemer Of Souls" title track can be streamed in the YouTube clip below. The song is available for purchase via iTunes and other digital service providers too.

JUDAS PRIEST guitarist Glenn Tipton said that fans should not expect wild experimentation. "Sometimes in the past we may have come under fire for being too adventurous musically – so we have listened," he said. "From start to finish, 'Redeemer Of Souls' is 18 songs of pure classic PRIEST metal."

Speaking to Artisan News at last month's VIP listening party for the Ronnie James Dio tribute album "This Is Your Life" and awards gala at the Avalon in Hollywood, California, JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford stated about the band's new CD: "The record is finished; it's absolutely finished as of today." He added: "It's a relief. It's a relief because whenever PRIEST makes an album, like any band, you put your heart and soul into it; it is that typical 'blood, sweat and tears.' It's not an easy thing to do 40 years later. But PRIEST has always been up for the challenge of that, and it's one of things that we love to do more than anything else as we move on through our metal years. So this is a great time for PRIEST: 40th anniversary, a brand new record. Life couldn't be better."

In a 2013 interview with Billboard.com, Halford described the new PRIEST CD's sound as "hard. It's heavy. It's something we think our PRIEST fans will be thrilled with. We know we have a reputation to maintain, and we know we have to deliver something really strong and solid. The album is going to be full of all the great things you love about JUDAS PRIEST — I don't think I can say anything more than that without being hung, drawn and quartered."

Speaking to VH1 Radio Network's Dave Basner, Halford said about what fans can expect from JUDAS PRIEST's next LP: "We felt it was very important to follow up [2008's] 'Nostradamus', the last release, and that was a concept experiment and it was a real success for us and the fans loved it, but I think our fans and ourselves as a band, we want to get back to the side of PRIEST that we haven't heard for a few years and reemphasize and remake those big, heavy metal statements again."

PRIEST's next album will mark the band's first release with Richie Faulkner, most recently guitarist in the backing band for Lauren Harris (daughter of IRON MAIDEN bassist Steve Harris).

Faulkner joined PRIEST as the replacement for original PRIEST guitarist Kenneth "K.K." Downing, who announced his retirement from the band in April 2011.

Asked how it has been collaborating on new music with Faulkner, Halford told Guitar World in a 2012 interview: "Really, really strong. Exciting. He's riffing and saying, 'Robby, I'm thinking of this and this and this.' It's really exciting to have that kind of energy, because you feed off of it."

He added: "[Richie] went through the ritual on [the 'Epitaph'] tour, did great work on stage, the fans embraced him, so it's now time to see what we're capable of, the writing trio of Glenn [Tipton] and Richie and myself."

Regarding whether technology has changed JUDAS PRIEST's songwriting process at all, Halford said: "It's dangerous to walk around with a flash drive on a bunch of keys. [Laughs] To a great extent, it doesn't really change. The technology is amazing in terms of the advantages it brings to music now, some of it good, some of it very bad. It's all about discipline and self-belief, determination, wanting to do the best you can do and not accepting anything that's below par. We've always had that attitude in PRIEST. We've always felt really strongly about any track that goes out for our fans. We're still doing it like we always have: firing up the riffs and finding a vocal melody to go with it, me going into me wonderful world of the Roget's Thesaurus and trying to come up with a new lyric and a new idea. And that's what we've been doing for four decades."

34 years of Heaven And Hell (Sabbath)

noreply@blogger.com (NAKTALA METAL PALLY) — Sat, 26 Apr 2014 01:00:00 +0000

Black Sabbath's ninth studio album 'Heaven And Hell' just completed 34 years. The band was going through a bad phase then. Ozzy Osbourne was just replaced and Iommi was contemplating another band (not Sabbath continuation), Bill Ward was on his way out of the band.

Heaven and Hell became the third Sabbath studio album to attain Silver Certification (Nov, 1980), it attained Gold Certification in April 1982. Remains the only Black Sabbath studio album to be thus certified.

NMP salutes the legendary band and this milestone album!

Heavy metal 'a comfort for the bright child'

noreply@blogger.com (NAKTALA METAL PALLY) — Wed, 28 Aug 2013 07:23:00 +0000

Intelligent teenagers often listen to heavy metal music to cope with the pressures associated with being talented, according to research.

The results of a study of more than 1,000 of the brightest five per cent of young people will come as relief to parents whose offspring, usually long-haired, are devotees of Iron Maiden, AC/DC and their musical descendants.

Researchers found that, far from being a sign of delinquency and poor academic ability, many adolescent "metalheads" are extremely bright and often use the music to help them deal with the stresses and strains of being gifted social outsiders.

Stuart Cadwallader, a psychologist at the University of Warwick, will present the findings at the British Psychological Society conference in York today.

He said: "There is a perception of gifted and talented students as being into classical music and spending a lot of time reading. I think that is an inaccurate stereotype. There is literature that links heavy metal to poor academic performance and delinquency but we found a group that contradicts that.

"We are looking at a group with lower than average self-esteem that does not feel quite as well adjusted. They feel more stressed out and turn to heavy metal as a way of relieving that stress.

"Participants said they appreciated the complex and sometimes political themes of heavy metal music more than perhaps the average pop song. It has a tendency to worry adults a bit but I think it is just a cathartic thing. It does not indicate problems."

The researchers surveyed 1,057 members of the National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth - a body whose 120,000 student members are within the top five per cent academically in the 11-19 age range.

Asked for their favourite type of music, 39 per cent said rock, 18 per cent R&B and 14 per cent pop. Six per cent said heavy metal and a third rated it in their top five genres.

The heavy metal fans in the study had lower self-esteem and more difficulties in family relationships and friendships.

Mr Cadwallader then held an online discussion involving 19 members of the academy, 17 of whom were heavy metal fans. They spoke of listening to bands including System of a Down, Slipknot, Tool, Dragon Force, Forward Russia and In Flames when they were in a bad mood and using it to work off frustrations and anger.

One student said: "It helps me with stress. It's the general thrashiness of it. You can't really jump your anger into the floor and listen to your music at the same time with other types of music."

Mr Cadwallader added: "Perhaps gifted people experience more pressure than their peers and use the music to purge this negativity."

Dan Silver, assistant editor of the music magazine NME who has worked for Kerrang! and Metal Hammer, said: "Many themes of heavy metal are about alienation. If you have these kinds of feelings there is a lot you can get out of the music and the community of fans who are into it."

A bit about NMP Vol II Artists

noreply@blogger.com (NAKTALA METAL PALLY) — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 21:11:00 +0000

We are back with the second volume and this time it boasts of the very popular international acts like Tesseract (UK), Madsic (USA), My Fair Lady (Brazil) and Antagonist AD (NZ) alongside popular Indian bands like IIIrd Sovereign, Infected, Flashflood and popular heavy metal Bengali act Kripa.

Tesseract (UK) boasts of appearances at Bloodstock, Hammerfest, Caos Emergente in Portugal and the recent Hellfire 2 festival at the Birmingham NEC arena. They have two songs in the album – ‘Deception Concealing Fate’ and ‘Lament’. The track ‘Lament’ was featured on Metal Hammer’s November 2009 issue cover CD. It is a sneak peak to their much awaited album which gets released in 2011.

Madsic (Florida, USA) features in the album with their widely appreciated track ‘Distance of Hate’. In 2006, their song Distance of Hate appeared on the Sonic Onslaught Vol. 2 Compilation CD along with bands such as Soil, Mushroomhead, Powerman 5000, Vanilla Ice, and Sworn Enemy. Also in 2006, they received endorsement through Switch music out of Los Angeles.

In 2007, they began getting radio station recognition with airplay and an interview on Metalkast Radio out of Minnesota and Raven’s Eggs and Kegs show out of Colorado. They were also interviewed online through Hollywood Music TV in Canada.

In 2008, an online contest called Metal Cage Fight 2008 done by MetalEvolution.net, decided by fan votes, was won by Madsic and they were dubbed by the station “Masters of Metal 2008”.

2008 also found Madsic on the main stage on the first year of the Kryptonite Metalfest at Tobacco Road in Miami, one of America’s oldest and most historic venues.

In 2009, Madsic performed at Lollapalooza’s Locofest South 2009 with such great bands as Mudvayne, Nonpoint, and Hed PE

Recently, the video for Distance Of Hate, which has been 1 on MySpace Charts for all Unsigned Metal bands in the world for three months now, is climbing the charts on the listing for ALL METAL BANDS (SIGNED INCLUDED) topping out at 18 so far.

Antagonist A.D (NZ) is a very popular act from New Zealand who has played in many prestigious concerts in Australia, USA, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. They have shared the main stage with Rage Against The Machine in Auckland’s Bid Day Out ’08.

The album was launched at The Basement on 10th October by Mr. Vikramjit Banerjee of Krosswindz.

It has been a phenomenal response to our debut compilation album and we are extremely grateful to each and everyone who has shown their support. Our aim is to promote underground and original stuffs by bridging the gap between the artists and the listeners. The goal would never have been achieved without the immense support from everyone.

Though EVERY SINGLE copy of the album have been distributed, we realize that there are many more enthusiasts who have not been able to grab the album.

Now download 'NMP Vol I' officially from our DOWNLOADS section. Please spread the word and keep supporting underground music.

You taught me to Stand Up and Shout

noreply@blogger.com (NAKTALA METAL PALLY) — Wed, 19 May 2010 18:34:00 +0000

Savo from RIKTERSKALE remembers the LEGEND RONNIE JAMES DIO

The hope of a rainbow in the dark will continue to rule my heart, as I mourn the loss of one of my biggest idols. You were a star amongst the stars....RIP Dadu.
I was so excited when I heard that Dadu was planning to come up with another Heaven and Hell and Dio record later this year. He was battling stomach cancer but he was confident of winning over it. But I guess someone needed him more than his fans did...bon voyage Dadu.
For the Bangla Rock lovers, many would vouch that how their icon Roopam da taught them to show the \m/ (devil's horn) when a rock show was on, without knowing that it was Dadu who first taught the world what Devil's horn was.

Many of Dadu's fans all around the world would remember him as the iconic singer of Rainbow and later on Black Sabbath. But to me he was one with whom nothing would go wrong when he was on stage. Night after night whose voice would never flinch an inch even if he would start from a high A. His voice would never loose an iota of power even when he sung the highest of notes. I will always remain in awe when I watch his pitch perfect live performances and his incredible stage presence. My near and dear ones would know that I am a Maiden person but few would actually know that to me Dadu was of a different league. I cannot describe the feeling when I first rehearsed 'Rainbow in the Dark' with Rikterskale. It was a dream come true.

Thank you Ronnie James Dio (Dadu) for teaching me and thousands like me how to rock n roll...

You've got desire
So let it out
You've got the fire
Stand up and shout-shout

Proper mosh etiquette - Mind your manners

noreply@blogger.com (NAKTALA METAL PALLY) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 20:10:00 +0000

A recent study by the American Music Recreation Foundation suggested moshing is the top contributor of bruises to the upper torso region of concert goers. While the study is in fact a fallacy, and no one in their right mind cares to do a study on the ill effects of moshing, I wouldn’t necessarily disregard the physical pains of moshing. Being an aficionado of the Lucha Libre, I’ve seen the resemblance between the tired faces of the rudos leaving the ring and those of moshers leaving the pit. In order to prevent being swallowed in the abyss of cheap black vinyl and sweat, I’ve put together, through the means of careful observation and half-assed assumptions, a few rules on proper mosh etiquette for all music fans to follow. First, concert goers must at all times remain alert for a mosh formation. A mosh pit initially begins with innocuous shoves from one individual to another, progressively growing in force and strength, ultimately leading to the participation of many in what can be deemed a carnal practice, traditionally in the form of a pit.
As a general rule, both men and woman should be allowed to enter the pit at their own discretion. Women need to be especially on-guard as they have been known to lose both teeth and articles of clothing within its parameters.

Once in the pit, participants must access the movement of the moshing. That is, if people are pushing in a clockwise motion, participants should follow. If the flow is moving from outer to inner circle, do the same.
Don’t attempt to go against the flow of the pit. Salmon do this against the tide to lay eggs, and then die. Learn from the salmon.

Once in the pit, men can get over-heated and eventually wreak a stench so foul even Europeans would protest. In consideration for the fellow music patrons, deodorant should be a priority before leaving home. Also, any shirt removal should be left to emaciated musicians.The activities in the pit should always remain energetic and lively. While it is important to maintain the integrity of the pit, all should be aware that injuries may occur. Therefore, those attendees scared or angry the pit is forming within their space should take heed and move away. The collective within the pit should comply by the unwritten rules of: 1) no targeted rushes towards specific individuals, 2) man-down assistance, and 3) no intentional attempts to inflict pain. Lastly, those wishing to crowd surf within the pit must also comply with weight and height restrictions. A 6’1¨ 310 lb. man should keep both feet on the floor. That cracking sound might just be someone’s neck. Women of that size should also do the same, for many more reasons not to be discussed. Further, surf is a metaphorical term. There is no actual swimming in the pit, so there is no need to kick. Kicking may lead to someone’s Chuck Taylors hanging from the singer’s mic stand, compliments of other fellow moshers. As for the surrounding observers, those typified by their crossed arms and slightly bobbing heads so as to disguise any hint of actually enjoying themselves, they must learn to coexist with the pit. Keep all ice in the cup and find a good spot to watch the show. Moshers may bump into observers, but no offense should be taken. However, moshers should take caution when getting to the nucleus of the pit so as to avoid knocking innocent victims over. More importantly, this will deter any stray alcohol from hitting the floor, a true travesty. Ultimately, it is the courageous few observers who form the wall of the pit. It’s not exactly Berlin united, but it’s a nice partnership. Everyone should be allowed to enjoy themselves at a show and unfortunately, there is only so much beer to go around, so it’s up to concert goers to make it lively and entertaining in their own way. The coexistence of the rowdy mosher and the laid back observer creates an interesting dynamic. With the addition of good performers and good music, it will be memorable show that doesn’t include three stitches above the eye.
