Send Me A Sign (Acoustic)

Myland - Light Of A New Day - [2011]

Second album by Myland “Light Of A New Day” is another example of the high quality of melodic rock that seems to be flooding out of Italy these days, For this album singer Guido Priori has replaced by Franco Campanella, who has a slightly high pitched vocal style but with a throaty rasp on top, good Melodic Rock album but i miss a majestic song like "One Step Closer".

Reckless Love - Hot - [Single 2011]

"Hot" is the new single from the upcoming 2nd album (not yet titled) by finninsh rockers Reckless Love. It’s indeed a "hot" melodic rocker with a rippin’ guitar solo.¡ Enjoy !

Hot

WarCry - Alfa - [2011]

WarCry´s new album, a return to the roots of his early records, Melodic Power Metal with great melodies, catchy choruses, strong vocal work by Victor Garcia and with a new and amazing keyboardist, special mention to the songs "Cobarde", "Ardo Por Dentro" and "Libre Como El Viento" a really true highlights.

Cobarde

The Poodles - Performocracy - [2011]

On ‘Performocracy’, The Poodles are shamelessly exploiting their influences from the late eighties/early nineties initial wave of ‘Scandi Rock’, synonymous with big hooks, big choruses and delightful harmonies, This album has such an addictive energy that it doesn’t take long before the listener is beat in to submission.

Wisdom - Judas - [2011]

Second studio album from the Hungarian band, a good album, which surprised me, and also has the collaboration of one of the greatest vocalist ever, Mats Leven (Yngwie Malmsteen, Therion, At Vance). Wisdom was formed in fall 2001 to bring back the glory days when the attitude of the musicians and the compositions were the main thing. The music contains elements combined from Heavy and Power Metal with great rhythmns and strong melodies. Today it is almost impossible to come up with new ideas but it is possible to create something extraordinary. That's what you can say the new album. !.

Eden´s Curse - Trinity - [2011]

Eden's Curse is one of those bands that blurs the line between melodic hard rock and heavy metal, this band has found their groove and they're firing on all cylinders. The songs are impressive and entertaining, and the production, thanks to Dennis Ward, is phenomenal. Fans of all things heavy and melodic should jump on Eden's Curse's Trinity for with. The guitar work may be worth the price of the CD alone. Very recommended.

Aspera - Ripples - [2010]

First Apera album (Now called Above Symmetry), An indication of style or comparison is due here so here we go again; Pain of Salvation, Evergrey and Symphony X with the playfulness of Dream Theater added, usually i don´t like Prog bands because are so boring to me but these guys are amazing, the sound is clear and powerful, the melodies are catchy and the singer do a great job. A listen is definitely required here people

Remorse

Halestorm - ReAnimate - [Ep 2011]

New Ep from Lizzy Hale and company, with six covers from Skid Row, The beatles, Heart, Lady Gaga, Guns & Roses and Temple Of The Dogs. Hard Rock to the bone with the awesome voice of Lizzy Hale. ReAniMate is a treasure trove of top-notch hard rock

All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You (Heart Cover)

AOR Soundtracks - Over The Top - [1987]

Over the top is such an emotionally film, The music that runs throughout the entire movie just adds to the effect. good songs filled with 80´s feeling. Performed by Sammy Hagar, Frank Stallone, Kenny Loggins, Eddie Money and Giorgio Moroder among others.

Robin Zander - In This Country -

Hibria - Blind Ride - [2011]

¡ New Hibria´s Kick Ass Album !, Musically, this is the same Hibria I know and love from the past two albums, destroyer Power Heavy Metal to the bone, The riffs are energetic and memorable, the solos shreddy and over-the-top. The singer, awesome, The melodies and choruses are catchy, and the band is technically proficient. It’s pure 80′s metal, fun and enjoyable. Don´t miss this album.

Power Quest - Blood Alliance - [2011]

After another three year recording absence, Power Quest return with Blood Alliance and, excepting founding member Steve Williams, a whole new crew for this album. Perhaps the most notable new addition is that of journeyman vocalist Chitral “Chity” Somapala (Firewind, Civilization One, Red Circuit). direct melodic metal with a strong groove buffeted by an infectious melody and sealed with dynamic solos and a rich harmonious vocal arrangement, Power Quest succeeds against the modern trends of harshness and hardcore. Solid stuff and well recommended!
