Bleed The Hunger Klassik Hard Rock Band Of Neil Turbin And Jonas Hornqvist Release New Song

Bleed The Hunger – Brand new hard rockin’ klassik rock band from Neil Turbin (DeathRiders, Onslaught, x-Anthrax) - Vocals and Jonas Hornqvist (Treasure Land, Calilio) - Guitar (http://soundcloud.com/bleed-the-hunger) -- releases brand new song “Hard Rockin’ Machine” at http://reverbnation.com/bleedthehunger. Neil is replacing Sy Keeler (whose son has been stricken with severe illness) on Onslaught Thrash Invasion Tour 2014 US, Canada, Brazil, Chile.  Bleed The Hunger will resume recording their debut album after completion of the Onslaught Artillery VX36 Tour. Bleed The Hunger was formed in early 2014, with two friends, Jonas Hornqvist and Neil Turbin, both songwriters and musicians, who have been collaborating and writing together for ten years. Jonas and Neil started writing some dynamic new songs that didn't quite fit into the mold of Jonas' progressive metal band, Treasure Land, or the speed and power that would fit into DeathRiders.  After just completing his third master guitar instruction book, http://www.melbay.com/Products/30405BCD/soloing-techniques-for-electric-guitar.aspx and a movie soundtrack, Jonas sent some rough song sketches and demos. When Neil heard them, he was very inspired to record these super melodic hard rock songs.   "We are working on completing the rest of the songs on the album and are more than halfway there, already.  What we have is inspired melodic Klassik Hard Rock that comes from our hard rockin' roots." - Neil Turbin http://www.facebook.com/bleedthehunger http://bleedthehunger.com

Recently noted, Onslaught vocalist Sy Keeler will sit out the US/ Canada Tour due to his son’s health issues, Neil Turbin known for his vocal work on the Anthrax album ”Fistful of Metal” will fill in for Sy during this tour.

ONSLAUGHT’S SY KEELER TO SIT OUT US/CANADA/SOUTH AMERICA TOUR – EX ANTHRAX LEGEND NEIL TURBIN STEPS INTO THE BREECH..!

Onslaught vocalist Sy Keeler will sit out the bands upcoming ‘THRASH INVSION TOUR’ of the US / Canada / South America, featuring ‘ONSLAUGHT / ARTILLERY / VX36 due to health issues with his son.

Sy Keeler comments:

I know you are going to be disappointed with my decision as am I, but I sincerely hope you can understand our situation.

My reason for this is the ongoing health issues with my son who has been suffering with a debilitating illness for some time, he is still on a downward path with no sign of any recovery on the horizon, therefore to be away for 2 months will put a lot of pressure on the family and increased anxiety on my son. We also have regular visits to specialists coming up during the next 6 months.

Therefore at this time I am having to think of my family first and sadly I am unable to be away in the Americas for the duration intended..

Onslaught guitarist Nige Rockett adds:

We’re extremely gutted that Sy cannot make this tour and of course we wish Sy’s family all the best in this difficult time, we are positive things will improve in the very near future and look forward to having Sy with us back real soon..

It was a really tough decision for us to make also, but Sy was very supportive that we take out a replacement vocalist to make this tour happen.

So much work had already been carried out by our management / booking agents / promoters behind the scenes it would have been unfair to let our team down, the other bands down and most importantly not to let our fans down.

On a positive note, It’s gonna be awesome to have Neil Turbin on board for the tour, for me he’s always been one of the best Thrash Metal vocalists out there no question, his work on the ‘Anthrax album ‘Fistful of Metal’ was simply amazing and I believe he’s one of the only guys in the genre who could step into Sy’s shoes. I think It brings a unique edge to this tour and I’m sure the fans will really dig what they hear..!!

Neil Turbin (DeathRiders, Ex-Anthrax) And Jonas Hornqvist (Treasure Land) Form Klassic Hard Rock Band, Bleed The Hunger

July 7, 2014 - Los Angeles, CA. -- DeathRiders vocalist and original Anthrax vocalist, Neil Turbin has announced his musical partnership with Treasure Land guitarist, Jonas Hornqvist.  Under the name, Bleed The Hunger, they have begun recording songs for their debut release.  Listen at http://soundcloud.com/bleed-the-hunger. Bleed The Hunger was formed in early 2014, when two friends, Jonas Hornqvist and Neil Turbin, both songwriters and musicians, who have been collaborating and writing together for ten years, started writing some dynamic, new songs, that didn't quite fit into the mold of Jonas' progressive metal band, Treasure Land or the speed and power that would fit into DeathRiders.  After just completing his third master guitar instruction book http://www.melbay.com/Products/30405BCD/soloing-techniques-for-electric-guitar.aspx and a movie soundtrack for an independent film, Jonas sent some rough song sketches and demos to Neil. When Neil heard them, he was very inspired, and said to Jonas, "This is super, melodic hard rock.  Let's record them all." "The songwriting chemistry between Jonas and I has evolved to be very intuitive, cohesive and dynamic, while still maintaining the melodic detail of our sound signature, no matter what style of song," said Turbin.  "The musical chemistry is strong, and is always fun, exciting and challenging--what new, even better song we will come up with next.  Staying true within the realm of what we do best, we are completing more songs as we speak, for an album, and we have already recorded enough for an EP.  What we have, is inspired, melodic Klassik Hard Rock, that comes from our hard-rockin' roots."                                                                         Jonas grew up listening to bands like KISS, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Gary Moore and Neil grew up going to NYC hard rock concerts in 1980 with Vendetta, Mayday, Starz, Twisted Sister, Riot as well as listening in the 1970’s to Free, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Motorhead, KISS, Scorpions, UFO, Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, Aerosmith, Jimi Hendrix, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Montrose, Boston, Kansas, and Foreigner.   "We thought long and hard about coming up with a name that was original and speaks for itself about the music and vibe.  I can't tell you how many were shot down for months, and gave us some good laughs.  We hope you like the tunes as much as we were passionate about making them.  Horns Up!  \m/(><)\m/ " --Jonas & Neil http://www.facebook.com/bleedthehunger http://bleedthehunger.com
