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

ETHAN BROSH TOUR CONFIRMED SUPPORTING RED DRAGON CARTEL AND JAKE E. LEE

Guitarist Ethan Brosh is widely considered one of the most promising instrumentalists on the scene, as evidenced by his latest album, 'Live the Dream.' And now, he is set to open for guitar legend Jake E. Lee's band, Red Dragon Cartel, on a nearly month-long tour of North America, kicking off on December 2nd in New York City and wrapping up on December 20th in Baltimore. "I feel both honored and privileged to once again take my band on tour with one of my all time favorite guitar players, Jake E. Lee!," says Brosh about the upcoming trek. "Jake's playing, writing and overall style have been an influence and an inspiration since the very beginning stages of my guitar playing. We've all been waiting many years to see Jake back on the scene so I feel lucky to be a small part of it on this upcoming tour. I can't wait to be back out there seeing my fans again and doing what I love to do most!" Mixed by Max Norman (Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth) and featuring the talents of world-class bassist Dave Ellefson, as well as the mastering expertise of Bob Ludwig (Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden), 'Live the Dream' is Brosh's most exciting and ambitious project to date. And the album cover painting by Joe Petagno (Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd) is also sure to turn heads. Issued by Carmine Appice's label Rocker Records LLC, "Live the Dream" is available for purchase via these links: iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/live-the-dream/id816347755 Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Live-Dream-Ethan-Brosh/dp/B00HZMRX0Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393806359&sr=8-1&keywords=ethan+brosh The buzz continues to build for guitar hero Ethan Brosh, and it will undoubtedly only grow stronger now that a brand new video has been filmed for one of the many standout tracks from his latest album, 'Live the Dream,' titled "Space Invaders.” The clip puts Brosh's impressive six-string skills front and center, which can be viewed in the link below. As Brosh himself explains, "A music video is something that has to go hand in hand with the music that it's associated with. It is part of the art as a whole. It is the image that will stay in the minds of the listeners for as long as they listen to that particular musical piece. When I have a music video done, I take the process almost as seriously as I take my music. A lot of time, energy and attention to detail gets into play when we shoot or edit a video." And Brosh has nothing but praise for the video's director, Seth C. Brown. "This video was made by Seth C. Brown who can turn any rushed, impossible to shoot scene with bad lighting into a beautiful work of art! I'm very proud of the new video for 'Space Invaders,' and can't wait to make more videos for this record!” Space Invaders video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfYp4VdBzk4 Downward Spiral video (featuring George Lynch) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9ZsC_dgS8U CONFIRMED TOUR DATES WITH ETHAN BROSH SUPPORTING RED DRAGON CARTEL: Dec 2 Webster Hall NY, NY Dec 3 Dobbs Philadelphia, PA Dec 5 Mexicali Live Teaneck, NJ Dec 6 The Chance Poughkeepsie, NY [with Burning Heat] Dec 7 1150 Oak Bar Cranston, RI [with Burning Heat] Dec 9 Rockstarz Cheektowaga, NY Dec 10 The Garrison Toronto, ON Dec 12 Token Lounge Detroit, MI Dec 13 Reggie's Chicago, IL Dec 14 TBA Dec 16 Dayton, OH Dec 17 Agora Theater Ckeveland, OH Dec 19 Altar Bar Pittsburgh, PA Dec 20 Fish Head Cantina Baltimore, MD FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT: www.ethanbrosh.com

Raven Launch Kickstarter, Set to Release Cover Album

NWOBHM thrash godfathers RAVEN have launched a Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign to fund the recording of their next studio album "ExtermiNation".  The band has recorded a full-length cover album entitled "Party Killers" that is being offered as an exclusive Kickstarter reward for backers.  "Party Killers" is available on CD and 12" vinyl.  The band is also offering exclusive t-shirts, patches, and a 7" vinyl single via the campaign, which runs through November 28th.

The trio has been in heavy pre-production for the upcoming original studio album "ExtermiNation" due in early 2015.  Somehow amid the writing and rehearsal process, the band also found time and energy to record the cover album.  Further details will be released in the coming days, but it has been revealed that the track-listing will include covers of "Ogre Battle"(Queen) and "In For the Kill"(Budgie). 

Vocalist and bassist John Gallagher comments on the album: "We were writing for the new album at a cool studio in Richmond, VA, and in the middle of jamming asked the engineer there if we could record a few cover tunes just for the hell of it.  The sounds were so good we decided to do something we'd been threatening for many years: "Party Killers" - a collection of cover tunes guaranteed to deafen yer neighbors!! It's basically a peek into the little red 45rpm singles box we used to have at home...songs and bands that were very influential to us as kids, but given the Raven overhaul! I think it gives a nice insight to our roots and will be an excellent companion to the new album!"

RAVEN is currently on tour in the United States with support act NIGHT DEMON.
