Paul Dianno, Warhorse








Paul Di’Anno’s Warhorse released a EP entitled “Stop The War” on BraveWords Records. The EP “Stop The War” is in advance of the band’s upcoming full length debut album.

Speaking about the Stop The War EP, Paul Di’Anno said, “I’m looking forward to the digital release of ‘Stop the War’, ‘Warhorse’ and ‘The Doubt Within’ and I hope you like it. By my standards, too much time has passed since the recording of this album and I can’t wait to finally have this record in my hands.”

Warhorse members Hrvoje Madiraca and Ante Pupačić Pupi commented on the Stop The War EP, “Are you ready – Ready to rock? Cause we are ready – Ready to rock! As the song says  ! Enjoy the album, cheers!”

The debut Warhorse album releasing later in 2024 was recorded during 2022 and 2023 in Croatia and the UK. On nine new songs and two fantastic covers, Paul sings like never before and in a way that will surprise and leave all his fans speechless, as well as heavy metal fans in general. Paul will perform with Warhorse all over the world and return the old spirit of heavy metal to where it belongs.

The core of the band and founders are Paul Di’Anno, vocals, Hrvoje Madiraca, guitar and Ante Pupačić Pupi, guitar.

Paul Andrews, a British singer better known by his stage name Paul Di’Anno, his nearly half-century-long career began explosively with Iron Maiden, when with the EP ‘The Soundhouse Tapes’, and the albums ‘Iron Maiden’ and ‘Killers ‘ forever cemented the foundations of heavy metal. With timeless hits like ‘Iron Maiden’, ‘Remember Tomorrow’, ‘Running Free’, ‘Phantom of the Opera’, ‘Killers’, ‘Wratchild’, Murders in the Rue Morgue’, ‘Purgatory’ etc., they influenced numerous musicians and bands and were responsible for the creation or development of many subgenres in metal music.


Paul is known as one of the most productive singers, who has a huge number of albums and other releases behind him, either as a solo artist or a member of bands such as Gogmagog, Di’Anno’s Battlezone, Praying Mantis, Killers, Rockfellas, Architects of Chaoz or Warhorse. In all his incarnations, Paul always knew how to find a way to the fans, with numerous hits, uncompromising singing, which is confirmed by his successful career and furious live shows around the world.

For the last eight years, Paul faced serious health problems that almost ended his career, but thanks to his loyal fans, friends, Iron Maiden and his strong will to overcome the disease, Paul is on a big world tour again, and he recorded a new album with the Paul D’Anno’s Warhorse band, which will be released in mid-2024 for BraveWords Records, a new label, which is also an integral part of one of the most strongest brands in heavy metal music.

This icon of heavy metal with the heart of a punk rock rebel never spared himself in his life, but he always gave everything for music and fans, which is why they have followed him faithfully for almost fifty years.

Warhorse is the original band/project of Paul Di’Anno. The first idea of forming a band arose in December 2021, when Paul and guitarist Hrvoje Madiraca met in Zagreb, Croatia. The formation and naming of this project happened simultaneously with the writing and recording of new songs, which were started immediately after Paul and Hrvoje joined hands and thus formed the band. Warhorse independently released the DVD single ‘Stop the War’ in a limited edition of 666 copies and sold it out in just a few days. This was followed by the fantastic ‘Stop the War’ lyrics video, which delighted fans around the world. The Warhorse project gathered fantastic guest musicians on some songs, and a video will be filmed for almost every song on the album. The core of the band itself is the three ‘horsemen’ Paul Di’Anno – vocals, Hrvoje Madiraca – guitars and Ante Pupačić Pupi – Guitars. Fans at Warhorse live shows can expect a live explosion, musical virtuosos and a top stage attraction. Paul Di’Anno in the stadium edition, would be the most appropriate description. Warhorse is a parallel band to his classic ‘Paul Di’Anno’ line-up and unlike his standard set list, Warhorse concerts will abound with Warhorse songs, with the addition of Iron Maiden classics and special, unexpected covers chosen by Paul Di’Anno.

BraveWords Records have agreed to physical distribution deals with Plastic Head in Europe and MVD in North America.

Shawn “Clown” Crahan do Slipknot divulga nova máscara




Shawn “Clown” Crahan do Slipknot divulga nova máscara
O percurssionista compartilhou uma foto que parece ser uma nova máscara



Shawn “Clown” Crahan, percussionista e membro fundador do Slipknot compartilhou uma foto em suas redes sociais de uma nova máscara com a legenda: “Jurei que não deixaria isso acontecer”. Segundo os fãs, é uma versão que nunca apareceu no palco antes.

A máscara é carnuda e sangrenta e de acordo com alguns fãs, só foi vista antes no Knotfest Museum, embora se pareça muito com a que foi usada por Crahan em uma turnê de 1999.

Quanto ao Slipknot, todos estão na expectativa que a banda anuncie em breve quem será seu novo baterista após a saída repentina de Jay Weinberg. Também espera-se que a banda compartilhe detalhes de seu álbum experimental Look Outside Your Window.

Em entrevista à NME, Corey Taylor falou o que os fãs poderiam esperar do tão discutido projeto: “Eu estava conversando com Clown sobre isso outro dia e ele disse: ‘Uma das razões pelas quais não foi lançado é porque você continua divulgando merdas que entram em conflito com quando eu quero lançá-las!’”

Shawn “Clown” também falou sobre o tema: “Definitivamente chegará no próximo ano. Você tem minha palavra”, ele insistiu. “A arte foi feita. Foi misturado. Foi dominado. Definitivamente será lançado em 2024 e é um ótimo álbum”.

Slipknot no Knotfest Brasil 2024

O Knotfest Brasil anunciou as datas da edição de 2024. O evento acontecerá nos dias 19 e 20 de outubro no Allianz Parque, em São Paulo.

A nova edição conta Slipknot como headliner dos dois dias de festival, com uma apresentação diferente com um set único e imperdível para cada dia.

O lineup completo do festival será divulgado em breve. Os ingressos estão disponíveis no site oficial da Eventim.

HEAVY MUSIC HISTORY: The Division Bell – Pink Floyd




FEATURESHEAVY MUSIC HISTORYPROGRESSIVE ROCK
HEAVY MUSIC HISTORY: The Division Bell – Pink Floyd
March 28, 2024Elliot Leaver


It’s early 1993. On the banks of the River Thames, on a converted grandboat named Astoria, three men convene to write and record their band’s fourteenth album. There are two basic goals – to improve on their previous record and, crucially, to rubber stamp PINK FLOYD‘s place at the top of global rock music. Eight years previously, they were on the brink of dissolution; now, they were reaching an improbable second peak.



When PINK FLOYD bassist and founding member Roger Waters left the prog-rock legends in 1985, citing them as a ‘spent force, creatively’, many presumed that would be the end. But guitarist and vocalist Dave Gilmour wasn’t about to let the band die on the decision of one man and a year later, along with drummer Nick Mason, began to work on the follow up to 1983’s fractious The Final Cut. Waters was outraged, assuming the duo wouldn’t have the necessary qualities to continue, and began legal proceedings saying no music could be released as PINK FLOYD unless he was involved. He dropped the case when EMI Records intervened and whilst the resulting record, A Momentary Lapse Of Reason (1987), was closer in feel to a Gilmour solo record than a PINK FLOYD album, its subsequent success breathed new life into the group: the album broke into the top five of multiple countries and preceded a world tour of sold out arenas and stadiums that culminated in a high-profile performance at the legendary Knebworth House in Hertfordshire.

Perhaps more importantly, though, keyboardist Richard Wright was back. Waters‘ increasingly domineering leadership of the band had forced him out November 1979 with his confidence shattered, but he was offered the chance to tour as one of the backing musicians for PINK FLOYD in support of A Momentary Lapse… and that, once all legal boundaries had been overcome, opened the door for him to come back into the fold. Also critical to the album’s development was Gilmour‘s wife Polly Samson, who had worked wonders in bringing the frontman out of the depression and cocaine addiction he slumped into following his divorce and legal disputes with Waters; although initially just glancing an eye over her husband’s lyrical content, she would eventually end up co-writing nearly the whole album with him.


The title, The Division Bell, was suggested by author Douglas Adams in exchange for a £5,000 charity donation to the Environmental Investigation Agency. Although not a full concept album as such, the theme of communication (or lack thereof) was prevalent across the record and led to many tracks dealing with Gilmour‘s personal demons, whether that be the collapse of his previous marriage and subsequent recovery in Coming Back To Life or the emotional ode to former, estranged band member Syd Barrett in Poles Apart; there was even an attempt to reach out to Waters in Lost For Words. This olive branch was subsequently refused. Instrumental track Marooned would win the 1995 Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental Performance and there was even a cameo from Stephen Hawking on Keep Talking. So moved was Gilmour by the words spoken by the scientist on an advert for BT, he sought – and was granted – permission from the company to use them. But it’s High Hopes, the final track and a beautiful reflection on the band’s early days in Cambridge, that remains the overall highlight; heavy and tender in equal measure, it was the final track written for the album and the last original PINK FLOYD song for nearly two decades.

Released on March 28th, 1994, The Division Bell received mixed reviews – although stronger than its predecessor, many criticised its supposed self-indulgence and suggested the band were just going through the motions. Entertainment Weekly said it was ‘notable primarily for its stomach-churning merger of progressive rock pomposity and New Age noodling’, Rolling Stone said ‘only on What Do You Want From Me does Gilmour sound like he cares’ and, ever the outspoken individual, Roger Waters dismissed it as ‘just rubbish…nonsense from start to end’. Nevertheless, it would top the charts in 21 different countries and go on to sell over seven million copies worldwide, in many places going platinum multiple times over.

PINK FLOYD spent the rest of 1994 touring The Division Bell, a run that would see them, albeit briefly hold the title of the biggest tour ever undertaken, generating a worldwide gross of £150million. Playing a career spanning set that changed from night to night, many of the shows saw the band’s 1973 classic The Dark Side Of The Moon played in full during the second half of the show. The tour finished with a 14-night run at London’s Earls Court where, infamously, a section of the venue collapsed on opening night and had to be rescheduled; the critically acclaimed live CD and video Pulse was recorded on the night of October 20th during this residency.

Despite the overwhelming success of the tour, PINK FLOYD would quietly disband after this show, save for their one-off appearance at Live 8 in 2005, release of final album The Endless River in 2014 and surprise 2022 single Hey Hey, Rise Up!. In that time, views on The Division Bell have warmed considerably – it may never stand up with the likes of The Dark Side Of The Moon or Wish You Were Here (1975), but it’s the jewel of PINK FLOYD‘s twilight years, a layered and dexterous record that continues to impress after all this time.



The Division Bell was originally released on March 28, 1994 via EMI Records.

INTRODUCING: GreenWing

“The name GREENWING was decided a week before the announcement of our very first show as part of a short list we made from all numerous suggestions we had come up with,” confesses bassist Travis Williams. He and drummer Kolton Kimbely make up half of Canadian band GREENWING, named because “our original drummer suggested it because it was his favourite type of parrot! It had a special ring to it, so we ran with it.”



“The band got together in our original three piece core during the COVID lockdowns of 2021 where we we jamming to stay sane. This just felt right and the next thing we knew, GREENWING had formed,” he explains. For those not in the know, GREENWING are a band that would class themselves as ‘heavy indie’.

“We’re a more upbeat sweater song meets PUP with a bit of THE DIRTY NIL‘s chaos!” Travis explains, whereas Kolton describes their sound “to be very pop influenced, with catchy choruses and catchy riffs. But with a heavy rock feel on top that rounds it out.”

The band have developed between their 2022 debut album Late Bloomer and their 2024 sophomore album Eatin’ It. “Our rhythm is tighter, we have more melodic content and our overall energy just feels like a natural step up!” Travis says. He explains that the name Eatin’ It is “after a song on the record of the same name. It’s about feeling a certain way and reacting poorly when being held accountable and then coming to terms with realizing they were correct.”

However, the recording process for this album was very different. “I myself spent most of it five hours north tuning in on skype for production feedback and coming down to do all my bass in a single day. The process still felt very good and proved to us that we can accomplish something like this when obstacles are thrown at us,” he explains. “I would say my hardest song to record this record was Fences. That song has a crazy amount of feel that I really had to lock into!”


Kolton says, “the hardest song to record for me would probably be Better Than Yesterday. It’s one of our more upbeat songs on the album. It has this killer groove to it, and a super heavy breakdown. It definitely took me a few takes to finish the drums!”

But making the album wasn’t all doom and gloom; it was also a lot of fun. Kolton explains that his favourite song to record is called Enough because “it’s one of my favourites off the album, and tracking drums for it was so fun!” Travis also says he enjoyed recording it because “it felt so natural and had zero doubts on any parts.”

It’s both their favourite song for good reason. It is the second single to be released from the band’s sophomore album, and the lyrics tackle the uncertainty that comes with releasing a musician’s second album. It also explores the feelings of fear that come from deviating away from a previously established path that had proven successful in the past. Whilst it is predominantly about music, the themes of the song are universal to everyone, no matter what stage in life they are in.

After supporting the likes of MOM JEANS, THREE DAYS GRACE, REINWOLF and ONE BAD SON, GREENWING have made a name for themselves by gaining a cult following in the touring circuit, and it has influenced their music. “Shortly after our new lineup change, we hit the road and played a good chunk of shows throughout 2023,” Kolton explains. “The chemistry we grew on stage throughout the year transitioned greatly into the studio when we started writing for the new album. The whole writing and recording process flew by quickly as each of us were locked in and knew exactly what was needed. And it was definitely from all the shows we had under our belt together.”

Travis agrees, “I would say touring has influenced our music in a big way. When we write, it’s often not complete till we feel like it has that ‘live energy’ and that’s something I feel touring has really made possible for us. But the Canadian music scene has influenced us in our sound but especially our live show as we pull from the energy that bands like PUP and NOBRO bring to the table.”

Kolton also acknowledges this, explaining that “the Canadian music scene has definitely influenced each of us! One band that comes to mind is THE DIRTY NIL from Ontario. We were fortunate enough to have opened for them last summer. They’re definitely a band we all look up to!”

After releasing the standalone 2023 single, Dark, the band found themselves nominated for various awards in the music industry. They were named Rock Artist of the Year in the same year by Sask Music. When it comes to live shows, GREENWING are one of the best in the music business. “I would describe a GREENWING show to be very hectic, but in the best way possible! We all let loose and have fun, which is our main focus on all our live shows,” Kolton explains. Travis agrees, “our live show is fast paced high energy with a welcoming feeling meant to bring everyone to the party!”

With their powerful songs, infectious live energy, unique sound, and passion for their music, it is clear that GREENWING are something special. With 2024 being the year that the band are going to spend touring, it looks increasingly likely that they will become one of the most beloved new bands of the music scene, and there will be a lot more people attending their parties.

review heavy metal rage



Forty years, and now the 26th album, Afterlifelines, by the German speed/power/prog melodic metal machine. I am a fan of their history, select songs from the ‘80s, more so the Manni Schmidt era (Perfect Man - Missing Link), two guitar attack Black In Mind - Ghosts, and the Smolski albums 2001-2010. Getting you up to speed, the last four albums there has been another new drummer and change in guitarists, twice. That's many albums, and quantity over quality often, too much sameness. With that, how does this new album compare?

This is a double album, Afterlife’s first eleven songs guitar driven written as a trio, Lifelines with an orchestra behind the guitars, drums, and bass, something Rage has done several times during the history. And like lone original member, singer Peavy Wagner in the bio says "some of it may be reminiscent of albums XIII and Lingua Mortis,” which I agree, plus Speak Of The Dead form 2006. With that, first disc kicks off in traditional Rage fashion, rampaging riffs and drums driving the song. Wagner's voice has lost nothing in tone, a tad more edgy like last few albums. They have become heavier since The Devil Strikes Again, and with mixed results.

Like lead off track "End Of Illusions" has a modern breakdown and guttural growl pre solo. But, as always with Rage with speed the important guitar melody still a thread, heard in "Under A Black Crown", and the solo in the catchy rhythm for the title track. "Mortal" has a modern chugging riff, as does "Toxic Waves" with melodic verse breaks. "Waterwar" has chorus riffing pattern style more in the vein of the Smolski era. Gallop and double bass power metal for the chorus to "Justice Will be Mine". These two are my Rage.

GUITAR VIRTUOSO NILI BROSH FEATURED ON NEW INTRO THEME FOR REBOOTED X-MEN '97 ANIMATED SERIES




If you're a comic book nerd, you're likely aware of the relaunched X-Men '97 Animated Series on Disney+. The iconic intro theme - created by composer Ron Wasserman - has been updates and features guitar virtuoso Nili Brosh. She checked in via Instagram to reveal the news:

"I’ve been waiting a long time for today…when I finally get to share with you that I played the classic X-Men theme for @xmen97marvel, now streaming on @disneyplus! I can’t thank @thenewtonbroth3rs enough, for such an unbelievably gorgeous score and for having me!

The idea that I am now somehow part of the legacy of the Saturday Morning Cartoons is beyond me, and even crazier to me to now have credits with Haim Saban and Shuki Levy. I mean, what??? I’m at a loss for words today. So so grateful!”

LIVE REVIEW: Napalm Death






Grindcore veterans NAPALM DEATH have returned to yet another sold out Glasgow live show, this time at Queen Margaret Union. Accompanying them are the live rare experience PIG DESTROYER, the unfathomably heavy doomsters PRIMITIVE MAN and Singaporean grind heroes WORMROT. Such a stacked lineup translates to a queue that snakes down the street. As WORMROT hit the stage a scant 20 minutes after the doors open and the line slithers down at a snail’s pace, this reviewer and so many others entirely miss WORMROT’s set. Frustrating.

The night moves quickly. American sludge doomsters PRIMITIVE MAN commence their show just ten minutes after WORMROT’s end. The trio begins with the eight-minute-long Menacing from their most recent full-length, Immersion. Frontman ELM and bassist JPC shadow each end of the stage and lead the headbanging with an austere presence. They sketch violently nihilistic soundscapes, wielding a suffocating atmosphere. My Will, Victim and Consumption compose the rest of their setlist. Their doom heaviness can shatter diamond mountains, but its deliberately crawling tempos certainly stick out among the other speedy acts tonight. The audience appears to merely tolerate the performance, offering polite applause after each song. There’s definitely an unspoken desire for breakneck moshing anthems. ELM’s black/death/grindcore act VERMIN WOMB would have suited the bill better, but PRIMITIVE MAN played a solidly engaging show.

The venue’s hall turns into a sweatbox before American grindcore soldiers PIG DESTROYER are up. For a band of their pedigree, they rarely play the UK, although they made the 2022 Damnation Festival lineup. It’s safe to say that most of the crowd haven’t witnessed them live, and they are probably a bigger draw than the headliners. The opening notes of Grave Dancer transform the vast majority of the punters into a vortex of flailing human bodies. The pit occupies around two-thirds of the floor; not only is it massive, but it’s also extraordinarily violent and frenetic. Vocalist J.R. Hayes deploys a signature hardcore-inspired shout-growl backed by complex yet savage guitar riffs from Scott Hull. Unlike their genre peers, PIG DESTROYER’s guitar tone isn’t always heavy, leaning closer towards thrash metal at times, and their use of electronics from Alex Cha adds to the disorientation. There’s a solid concentration on groove and alternating tempos, all contributing to the semi-permanent moshpit and tide of crowd surfers.

With song clocking in around a couple of minutes, these grindsters fire out aural shot after shot, which, coupled with the omnipresent pit, feels like getting struck by a semi-automatic firearm. Unsurprisingly, the band draws predominantly from highly lauded albums Prowler In The Yard and Terrifyer. The likes of Cripped Horses, Thumbsucker, The Torture Fields, Deathtripper, Cheerleader Corpses (preceded by the creepy and bizarre Jenifer intro), Scatology Homework, Trojan Whore and many more are ammunition for the record-breaking moshpit. The fans are so hyped to see the band that they could probably play anything and summon a similar response. The band looks entirely energised on stage and genuinely excited to perform, not typical for a band that started in the 90s. All in all, this was a wildly dynamic show of chaos that even NAPALM DEATH would struggle to surpass.

Rating: 9/10 Napalm Death live @ Queen Margaret Union, Glasgow. Photo Credit: Duncan McCall

Back again in Glasgow for the second time in as many years, Birmingham’s NAPALM DEATH explode on stage with the bruising From Enslavement To Obliteration. This classic slab of grindcore has heads banging and fists pumping. Surprisingly, the audience appears reluctant to form a mosh pit, which takes some encouragement. When it does spawn, it’s significantly smaller and less violent than PIG DESTROYER’s swarm, but the band members are just as enthralling as the previous act. Vocalist Barney Greenway possesses more energy than a hyperactive, sugar-addled toddler, constantly working the stage with an authentic, frustrated wilderness about him. The legends of grind pummel the venue with song after song of aural devastation, brief but ultra-punishing. Chunky riffs and thunderous power chords from live guitarist John Cooke are served with feral abandon, underscored by Danny Herrera’s apocalyptic drummings.

With so many albums to their name, the band wisely sticks to their genre-defining earlier tracks and fresher cuts, peppered with the odd mid-discography banger. The likes of If The Truth Be Known, Suffer The Children, You Suffer and Dead proudly represent the old material. Contagion, Backlash Just Because, Amoral and Resentment Always Simmers showcase NAPALM DEATH in their modern incarnation, adeptly weaving death metal and grindcore into tapestries that don’t shy away from criticising our corrupt moral world. Moshers and crowd surfers try their hardest to move attention away from the headliners and onto themselves. One of the craziest parts of the set is when someone clambers up the vertiginous amp stacks to the right of Shane Embury. The man then launches himself into the pit. Hopefully, he avoids any injuries. Napalm Death live @ Queen Margaret Union, Glasgow. Photo Credit: Duncan McCall

Greenway is known for his political stage chatter, although he keeps it quick tonight: “Refugees welcome,” earning hearty acclaim from the crowd. Another message cements the band’s support for human rights, including women’s rights, gay rights, and trans rights, with the applause for the latter being enormous. Is it really a NAPALM DEATH show without a cover of DEAD KENNEDYS’ Nazi Punks Fuck Off? Of course, that makes the set. As the years pass, these grind icons defy age limitations by providing an impassioned, dynamic live experience. There’s a reason they sell out so many shows so often.

Rating: 9/10
