VALLENFYRE Announces First Live Show

We promised you that VALLENFYRE is not a one-off studio project, and we are now proud to announce their first ever live show! VALLENFYRE’s stage debut will take place at the Tavastia Club in Helsinki, Finland on February 2nd, 2012. Gregor Mackintosh (vocals and lead guitar) comments, “I have a long and happy history with Helsinki. From the Lepakko club 20 years ago, right up to the present day, it has always been one of my favourite places to be. I have many fond memories and have made many great friends over the years. It is for this reason I decided that the very first live performance by my new band VALLENFYRE should be in Helsinki. We have just released our debut album ‘A Fragile King’ through Century Media and anyone who likes their Death/Doom stirred in with some Crust should come down and see us.” Continue reading “VALLENFYRE Announces First Live Show”

UFO: New Studio Album “Seven Deadly” To Be Released In February 2012

Nothing would be easier for British rock legends UFO than to rest on their laurels. The band could easily release the occasional best-of album to earn a few additional royalties and be content with looking back at their exceptionally glorious past. And it certainly wouldn’t be a problem for UFO to sell out tours on the strength of their legendary name. But idleness or indeed a musical standstill have always been out of the question for Phil Mogg, Paul Raymond, Andy Parker, and Vinnie Moore. These in equal measures experienced and ambitious musicians are interested in the present, their love of creativity and the active continuation of their celebrated band history. And now we can look forward to Seven Deadly, the band’s latest studio album which combines present and future with UFO‘s greatest fortes. Mogg, Raymond, Parker and Moore are set to release 10 brand-new songs on SPV/Steamhammer February 28th in North America.  Continue reading “UFO: New Studio Album “Seven Deadly” To Be Released In February 2012″
