"Waterwheel" by Aoeria (Hard Rock Artist from New Nork)

2010-04-19T17:01:00.001-07:00

Aoeria and their album "Waterwheel" spin a collection of heavy, gritty, yet straightforward collection of Alternative Rock songs. The opener, "Apocrypha" begins with an exotic explosion of drums and guitars before mellowing down to follow a steady bass line with strong and solid vocals. "Wonder" is more of a relaxed song, at least at first, as it focuses on guitar riffs and reflective vocals before sonic excitement takes over. In "Imminent" we find enlivened drums and guitars keeping up a quick pace in a real rocker of a song. This album is one that harks back to the days when Alternative music was filled with fervent guitars and powerful drumming, while still having its own completely unique feel to it. Fans of Smashing Pumpkins material and similar music should check out Aoeria's "Waterwheel."

"LIGHT IT UP" by LIBERTY N' JUSTICE (Classic Rock Artist from United Kingdom)

2010-04-18T19:19:00.001-07:00

Liberty N' Justice has a new album, and it is called "Light It Up." This album, unlike their previous, is a studio project with the talents of songwriter/lead-singer Justin Murr featuring guest artists on nearly every song, in an album loaded with 80's metal music that have subtle Christian undertones. "Treading On Serpents" is a pulsating heavy rock song with soaring lyrics as Murr implores his listeners to "come walk with me and tread on serpents!" "Best Time You Never Had" is a gritty hard-rock song, with grisly guitar sounds and intensely thumping drums leading the way. For "Greed" we hear how Murr can belt out powerful lyrics and do it well, in this tenacious song about the evils of greed. This album is created for those who love the sound and attitude of metal rock from the 1980's, and for those who can appreciate a Christian message as well. Musically, if you are a fan of Bon Jovi or Def Leppard then this is an album you would be thoroughly pleased with.

"Six Feet Down" by Myrah (Hard Rock Artist from Sweden)

2010-03-30T18:29:00.001-07:00

The Swedish hardcore Metal/Punk group Myrah and their recent album, "Six Feet Down," is a collection of hard hitting songs with an overall hefty and dense sound that also contains subtle expressive dynamics. "The Cold" is a fierce number with an intense double-bass drum holding the beat as escalating guitars wail, yet the lyrics remain comprehensible and somewhat reserved. The title track, "Six Feet Down," is an impressive number that begins with a strong and solid vocalist and accompanying piano before climaxing into a thumping rock song with string highlights and bellowing guitars. "Oceans of Time" is a number that contemplates some of life's darker issues in a song that is both unhurried yet aggressive while the instruments give way to the mysterious tonality. This is an album in which true hardcore Metal/Punk music is being played, yet with more introspective and perceptible messages and lyrics. Fans of Iron Maiden and older Metallica would do themselves a favor by listening to Myrah's "Six Feet Down."

"World Domination" by Fatal Smile (Hard Rock Artist from Sweden)

2009-12-03T19:41:00.001-08:00

Fatal Smile's latest album goes by the title of "World Domination." It is a continuation of this Swedish hard rocker's tradition of in-your-face music; and is mixed by Michael Wagener, who has worked with the likes of Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, and Mötley Crüe. In "No Tomorrow" Fatal Smile starts off slowly, building a gritty-momentum, before detonating into guitar-led mayhem. "S.o.b." is a song in which the tempo always stays high, with chunking guitars and chorus lyrics that are simply aimed at getting one pumped up. For "Eve of War" they supply more of a toe-tapping beat, still replete with the screeching guitars, but with more of a focus on methodically grooving alongside the intensity. "World Domination" is an album made fully in the Metal/Hard Rock mentality. If you are a fan of music like that of Metallica or Whitesnake, then this album, "World Domination" by Fatal Smile might be right up your alley.

"Nightmares" by Morphine Killer (Hard Rock Artist from Los Angeles, California(CA))

2009-11-14T17:11:00.001-08:00

"Nightmares" is a haunting and dark metal album from Morphine Killer. Belle Roko leads this heavy metal music with sweet, melodic vocals and right behind her are the guttural growls you would expect from a Goth metal outfit like this. The song, "Pride Comes Before A Fall" shows off both Roko's exceptional singing abilities and the intense screams of Eski. Check out "Clutching Defeat" for a particularly fast-moving and energetic track complemented by the strong guitars and solid drum beats. Adding to the vocal talents, the guitars thrash with a fury of power chord mayhem that is loaded with vengeful hooks and riffs. Morphine Killer may have settled into something with a unique style on their album, "Nightmares" that could gather a large audience, so keep your eyes open and get your copy soon.

2009-11-11T19:21:00.001-08:00

On "Angelface" the new CD from Chapter ll feat. Natalie Chandra, the rock comes fast and furious as blasts of roaring guitars punctuate swirls of synthesizer in an all-out attack of goth-influenced and hook-filled hard rock. Singer-songwriter Chandra brings a Pat Benatar-like vocal power to this 12-song collection, matching the intensity of her singing to larger-than-life anthems as well as moving power ballads.

With its nod to Northern European influenced Black Metal, Chapter ll feat. Natalie Chandra's "Angelface" CD is tailor-made for fans of Evanescence, Lacuna Coil and other theatrically-oriented bands who deliver epics of darkness and shadow like there's no tomorrow.

2009-07-23T13:32:00.001-07:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Rock Child with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Ten "

Rock Child's CD "Ten" is embedded with guitar-driven, hard core rock and roll. Reaching well beyond these roots, this group captures an edgy hard rock style using driving, distorted rock guitar riffs overlaid with melodic vocals. This is definitely a turn-up-the-volume classic rock CD with an edgy, raw sound. The album takes you on a journey of happiness and sorrow fused with poetic lyrics. "When the Sun is Coming Down" is a great example of this as the music is mysterious in tonality adding to the obscurity on this track. A powerful guitar intro leads us into the track "An Anticipation" leaving the listener wanting to hear more. If you're a fan of classic hard rock bands such as Black Sabbath then "Ten" is an album well worth checking out.

"Lunatic Binge" by CrimsonFaced (Hard Rock Artist from Pennsylvania(PA))

2009-04-07T14:52:00.001-07:00

If Trent Reznor and Scott Weiland ever decided to make an album together, the result would most likely sound something like "Lunatic Binge" the recently released CD by CrimsonFaced. Although there are some obvious underlying classic rock tones, the album above all sounds more like a NIN record. The opening track alone, "Pretty People," screams of that genre and pretty much set up the theme of the entire record. Mike E.T. The Alien (yes- that is his name) delivers Stone Temple Pilot style vocals throughout the disc, as you can hear on "Lost Innocense." Even the guitars have that DeLeo brothers tone to them. If you own STP's "Purple" record, then you will surely want to hear "Lunatic Binge."

RadioIndy is pleased to present Eloah with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Ode to Brother Horn"

2009-01-18T20:03:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Eloah with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Ode to Brother Horn"

"Ode to Brother Horn" is a great new age/progressive album from Austrian musician Eloah fueled by poetic lyrics and excellent guitar and piano work. This is an inspired album, a grouping of songs from the early '90s that Eloah presented to his then-mentor Jörg Horner (Brother Horn) whose memory this album is dedicated to. Eloah's arrangements are truly exceptional, ranging from new age tracks with flute and saxophone to beautiful piano ballads to outstanding acoustic and electric rock compositions to riff-driven hard rock. Eloah's vocal performance has variety to it, but it is ever-haunting, whether he sings in his natural deep bass or in a quiet near-whisper. "Ode to Brother Horn" is well-produced, and the entire album sounds clean and professional. "Paradise Lost" features some great acoustic work, a nice drum beat, and a chilling vocal performance. "You Have Never Been Mine" has a great arrangement that begins with a nice acoustic guitar and drum progression, and is then matched by electric guitar and piano. "The Human Legacy" has a more progressive hard rock sound with heavy guitar riffs, a nice beat, and haunting vocals. Eloah has put together an album that would make Brother Horn proud, filled with skillful arrangements and poetic lyrics. Fans of new age and progressive rock should definitely pick this one up.

"Azumuth" by Azumuth (Hard Rock Artist from Victoria, Australia)

2008-12-11T16:10:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Azumuth with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Azumuth"

"Azumuth" is the self-titled full-length debut from Australian hard rock/alt-metal band Azumuth. Azumuth is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Aidan Dickens, whose soaring vocals and vocal diversity fuel the entire album and well-complement the heavy backing arrangements. The great guitar and drum work and varying methods of creating ambience combined with Dickens' diverse and all-out vocals sounds like a combination of Thursday, Thrice, System of a Down, and Faith No More. Dickens' lyrics are intelligent and meaningful, the songs melodic, and the choruses extremely catchy and memorable, since Dickens never fails to let it all out on the choruses. "Azumuth" is well-produced, sounds polished, and is ready for alternative radio play. "Ends of the Earth" is a mood-setting track with a nice arrangement, great lyrics, and group vocals with an overall sound similar to Thursday. "Disarray" is a great System of a Down-esque track with heavy drums, heavier distortion, and quick lyrical delivery from Dickens. "Azumuth" is a great full-length debut from Aidan Dickens and Azumuth and is as worthy of breaking through to the mainstream as the groups that clearly influenced them. Fans of hard rock and alt-metal should definitely pick this one up.-Chris & the RadioIndy.com Review Team

"Degenerator - EP" by Azumuth (Hard Rock Artist from Victoria, Australia)

2008-12-11T16:00:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present Azumuth with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Degenerator - EP"

"Degenerator - EP" by Azumuth is an excellent hard rock album which features multiple creative takes on their song "Degenerator." This compilation is recommended for fans of Faith No More, Evanescence, and early System of a Down. Azumuth's powerful hard rock vocals are belted out to the heavens on this album. "Degenerator (Voodoo Doll Mix)" is an interesting electronic/techno remix of the single which is similar to some of the heavier tracks by New World Order, Chemical Brothers, and at times even a little like Linkin Park. The EP is an interesting experiment in production and its effect on the overall sound, mood and genre of a song. Furthermore, the EP shows that a well-written song, with a nice build to a powerful and memorable chorus, can work well in many different subgenres. Be sure to check this one out if you are a fan of hard rock songs with a catchy chorus.-Heidi

2008-12-10T19:00:00.001-08:00

RadioIndy is pleased to present JETA GROVE with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Faint Young Sun Paradox"

"Faint Young Sun Paradox" by Jeta Grove is a New Jersey based hard rock band that prides itself on it's huge sound courtesy of crunchy guitars and a booming rhythm section. The first thing you notice is that they sound great. The album was recorded, mixed and mastered to perfection. It really pays tribute to the bands meticulous sound and unique arrangements. The guitar harmonies are the other great aspect to the sound, as they are layered very well. If that is not enough, the band is very tight and the lead vocalist has a great rock voice. Highlights are the opener "Skywarped", with it's fantastic and eerily delightful guitar progressions and overall haunting sound. "Revolution" features a driving guitar riff, a passionate vocal performance and great vocal harmony in the chorus. "One Of These Day" wraps things up with an ominous piano line, and evolves into a rocker of epic proportions. If you are a fan of progressive bands with a huge sound, check these guys out.-Ross

“Violate Propriety" by Freedom (Hard Rock Artist from California(CA))

2008-08-17T17:09:00.001-07:00

Of all the great stories of how albums are made, Freedom's debut hard rock album, "Violate Propriety," must be among them. Freedom was just a regular guy going through a regular divorce when he was set up for a crime that landed him innocent, and in prison for seven and a half years. While in prison, he picked up guitar and played for a band of inmates. He learned the excellent production techniques that he used on this album, as well as how to play all of the instruments heard on the album. Freedom's sound has been hailed as modern vintage rock, since it derives from '80s metal with shredding guitars and authoritative grunts reminiscent of Metallica and Mötley Crüe. The other facet to the sound is a Pink Floyd-influenced psychedelic acoustic. Combine that with modern hard rock and modern lyrics, and there you have it. The lyrics on "Violate Propriety" are biting, thoughtful, and intellectual as Freedom sings about heartbreak, failure of the institution of marriage, and celebrating life for what it is. "Allison Wonderland" is a song about the"It" girl with great rhyming, storytelling lyrics with the memorable chorus, "You wanna, I wanna, we wanna Allison Wonderland." "Threading the Needle" is an instrumental track that shows Freedom's musical capabilities as he shreds on the guitar and delivers a great backing arrangement. "Violate Propriety" is a great, intelligent hard rock album with a great story. Fans of modernized '80s metal and true-to-life lyricism, give Freedom a chance.

"Uncensored” by Whiskysam (Hard Rock Artist from North Dakota(ND))

2008-08-06T15:05:00.001-07:00

Whiskysam's "Uncensored" is a riff-driven hard rock album that will truly make your head bang like it was 1986. This album boasts an amazing twenty-three tracks of non-stop, action-packed North Dakota rock & roll. The album, although mostly hard rock, has some unique experimental tracks; "Kiss," for instance, has aspects of many genres, including techno and trance. The album also has some slower ballad songs such as the heartfelt confession of true love in "You." "Sexy" is another standout track, with a true-to-their-roots hard rock riff, a blistering guitar solo, and some synth in the background. "Uncensored" uses great production techniques, including vocal effects and synth backgrounds to fatten up the already extremely heavy sound, while maintaining the rawness of the vocals and arrangements. Overall, "Uncensored" is a great pickup with a solid collection of songs from an up-and-coming band that everyone should take notice of. Great for fans of Creed, Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, and hard rock in general.

"New Wine” by Realign (Hard Rock Artist from Illinois(IL))

2008-07-20T13:40:00.001-07:00

"New Wine" is a progressive Christian hard rock album from Realign, a tight band with a cutting edge sound. The listener is immediately pulled in by Realign's awesome driving guitar sound that, combined with energetic yet sensitive vocals and a killer rhythm section, is a recipe for a winner. Realign has a great rock sound, with an overall vocal and musical performance similar to Rush, Incubus, and Christian hard rock band Chevelle. The production quality of "New Wine" is fantastic, mixed to really bring everything forward and electrify your ear drums. The quality of sound can also be attributed to a well-layered sound created by polished musicians. Highlights include the title track, "New Wine," which opens the album musically and establishes the spiritual and driven sound of the album. "Lapse in Judgement" opens with a haunting piano line and atmospheric synths, then erupts into a rocker. "Far From Yesterday" features a hot guitar riff, cool changes, and intricate drum work. With "New Wine," Realign has bridged the gap between secular and non-secular music with a great mainstream rock sound and Christianity-inspired lyrics. If you enjoy highly dynamic hard rock with a big sound and powerful vocals, check out Realign.

2008-06-29T08:59:00.001-07:00

"Never Cancel the Stage!" by Two Ton Shoe is a funk rock album with elements of dance and club brought to you by a talented group of musicians. The first thing you notice about these guys is that they have a sound that is truly their own.

"Swig" by Swig (Hard Rock Artist from California(CA))

2008-06-19T19:27:00.001-07:00

This self-titled EP from California bay area rockers "Swig" is a chug from a can of straight-up rock and roll, with a few sips of more sensitive tracks mixed in. Booze, drugs and rock is the name of the game with most of the tracks on the CD. You get big, crunchy guitar riffs, thick rolling rhythms, and true rock vocals on the classic rock tracks. That's the recipe, plain and simple. The influence of 70's and 80's rock is very apparent in their sound on most of the tracks. There's no trickery involved in the rock tracks, just straight up rock n' roll. At the same time, on some of the tracks, the band turns the amps down for ballads that feature female vocals, which add a nice variety to the tracks. This CD is a good rock package that sticks to its roots. Highlights include the opener "Whisky Babe," an excellent kickoff song, with a killer riff and a pumping rhythm section. "Home" breaks it down into a slower tempo and features female vocals. "What Matters the Most" uses an interesting production effect to transition from a car radio sound to a rockin' ballad with gentle female vocals. "Make Me Beg" closes things out nicely with raunchy slide guitar and a punchy rhythm. If you enjoy classic rock, you will enjoy this CD.

2008-05-10T12:51:00.000-07:00

“The Gadfly” by Michael Burgin (Hard Rock artist from North Carolina(NC))

2008-02-13T08:29:00.001-08:00

"The Gadfly" by Michael Burgin delivers an eclectic and highly experimental brand of rock. The lyrically weighty "Chapter 13" represents a strong acoustic effort infused with fervent emotion and very effective vocals as it tackles the issue of death and meaning. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of this CD is its very purposeful, nostalgic, political, and unrefined lyrics. "Oh, Holy Television" is another stand-out track that demonstrates this with lyrics that are relevant and spiced with a nice dose of cynicism. Overall, this CD offers songs that are for the thinking-person, songs that exude warmth through minimal production, and most importantly, songs that defy the boundaries of traditional rock and enters the creative realm of experimentation.
