A sensational tour package will hit European venues in November as two of Century Media’s finest rock acts, DEAD LORD and ‘77, have been confirmed to support Canadian rocker Danko Jones and play additional shows in between the dates on top.
Swedish rockers DEAD LORD are excited about this chance to continue touring in support of the much acclaimed “Heads Held High” album, which was released in August, stating: “Seeing how we just did an awesome tour together with Audrey Horne and Dead City Ruins, we just can’t seem to keep ourselves off the roads. That’s why we’re proud to announce that we’ll be hitting Europe again soon, this time as support for Danko Jones, together with our label mates ‘77! The days when we’re not with Mr. Jones, we’ll be ripping it up on our own together with them ‘77-boys! See you there!”
Also, for Spain’s ‘77 this tour is a great opportunity as the quartet will release its brand-new album, “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us”, on October 30, 2015. ‘77 about the forthcoming live plans: “We are extremely happy to announce that we will be sharing the stage with our old friends DEAD LORD, one of the few contemporary rock and roll bands we truly love, and Danko Jones! Touring with him was an all-time dream we had in ‘77, simply because his garage rock is great and his shows are even greater! For those who think rock is dead: come and see the whole package and you’ll be convinced it is alive and kicking!”

Swedish death metal rulers GRAVE have finished the recording for their eagerly awaited new album, “Out Of Respect For The Dead”. Three years have passed since the release of GRAVE’s last opus, the highly praised “Endless Procession Of Souls”, that was followed by a European headlining tour together with Sonne Adam, the release of the vinyl-only “Morbid Ascent” EP and another tour together with their labelmates Entombed A.D. Since autumn 2014 GRAVE have constantly been working on the follow-up album of “EPOS”. Now “Out Of Respect For The Dead” is finally done. And it turned out to be one of the angriest and most evil albums of the band’s career. Check out the brand new track “Redeemed Through Hate” and judge by yourself:
“Out Of Respect For The Dead” will be released through Century Media Records in October. More news to be revealed soon.
Founded by the Valeta brothers, ’77 (pronounced Seventy Seven) reflects the ideology and musical concept of the Seventies, an era they artistically and aesthetically feel comfortable with and truly at home. Over the past years ’77 didn’t just make a name for themselves with their studio recordings, but particularly with their high energy live shows that secured them countless European tours with the likes of diverse bands such as Bullet or Audrey Horne.
Since playing live is one of their fortes ’77 are happy to announce supporting Michael Schenker’s Temple of Rock on selected shows of their upcoming tour in the fall.
The tour perfectly matches the release of ’77’s upcoming album “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us” that is due to be released October 30th, 2015. “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us” was produced by Jaime Gomez Arellano who has worked diverse artists such as Paradise Lost, Ghost, Ulver or Cathedral. You figure this might sound too have for fans of real Rock’n’Roll? Wait until you get to hear the first track and you’ll be turned into a real believer that this was a match made in Rock’n’Roll heaven!

“666 Weeks Beyond Eternity” / Re-Release of the classic “Eternity” Album
2014 saw FREEDOM CALL heavily playing on the “Light over the Beyond” Tour, which the guys surrounding Frontman Chris Bay and guitar player Lars Rettkowitz kicked off in the US, just to keep it going on an European Trek! The Band demonstrated their extraordinary positive approach to life and the subtle spirit of their Album “Beyond”!
With the return of founding member, bassist Ilker Ersin and the addition of “Drum Wizard” Ramy Ali, an unstoppable force has been created, which is, without any doubt, the strongest line-up in FREEDOM CALLs History.
After the release of their very strong “Beyond” album in 2014, which was a direct hit into any Power Metal Fans heart and surely brought the guys back to their roots, the Band is already back in full steam in 2015.
To show their nearly ceaseless motivation and their outstanding strong team spirit, FREEDOM CALL declare a very unusual, but very “hellish” anniversary: “666 weeks since the genesis of Eternity”. This occasion, will see the re-release of their 2002 landmark Album “Eternity”, in a very special 2 CD digipak edition with tons of bonus material, including the brandnew hymn “666 Weeks Beyond Eternity”!
There will be some serious feasting on an exclusive tour, which will see FREEDOM CALL perform only songs from the “Eternity” record……
“Eternity-666 Weeks Beyond Eternity”” will be released in Scandinavia on April 22nd, in Germany on April 24th, in Europe on April 27th and in the USA on April 28th as a 2 CD digipak version and download through SPV/Steamhammer.
“Falling Home”, the critically acclaimed acoustic album by Swedish progressive rock innovators Pain of Salvation, was recently released domestically in North America as well via InsideOutMusic and now the band is proud to debut the new promotional video clip for the album’s title track.
Check out the atmospheric clip for “Falling Home”, which was shot in Iceland by director Hilmir Berg Ragnarsson and produced by Hilmir Berg Ragnarsson and Soley Astudottir, via the InsideOutMusic YouTube channel here: http://youtu.be/aGILlGzW1Jc
Pain of Salvation’s Daniel Gildenlöw commented as follows:
“I started last year with four months in the hospital, battling flesh eating bacteria, and somehow managed to bounce back to see myself playing Vegas dressed in a rabbit suit. That considered, it felt perfect to end the year knee deep in snow on Iceland, shooting a video for “Falling Home” in a blizzard, with a dead coyote draping my freezing shoulders. I mean, who would have guessed a few years back that the latter would actually turn out to be one of the more normal situations of my 2014? :)
I loved every minute on Iceland, and my all-in personality could not have asked for more. When we were not pushing through the snow outside, we’d sit hours on hours in a cold basement of an old power plant, singing the song over and over again with numbing hands and feet, while the Reykjavik sun was setting outside the heavy concrete walls. Damn, we threw ourselves into this video, whole-heartedly and passionately, and I think anyone watching it will feel that.
Huge thanks to everyone who helped out with this video, but most of all to Hilmir and Sóley!”
“Falling Home” is a very special acoustic release, which contains reimagined versions of favourite catalogue-songs, two cover versions (“Holy Diver” by Dio and “Perfect Day” by Lou Reed) and a brand new song (The title track, “Falling Home”). Next to the Jewel Case CD and the Digital Download formats, “Falling Home” is also available in Europe as limited edition Digipak CD with expanded artwork and two bonustracks and also as limited Gatefold LP version on 180gr. vinyl (On black vinyl, but also 200x copies on white vinyl exclusively from the IOM Webshop).
Order “Falling Home” from the InsideOut Shop as physical formats here:
Since we already did the revisiting of the Ecliptica on record, we couldn’t resist to try this live as well. This is the first time in the history of Sonata Arctica that we will perform an entire album front to back, in a live setting. We think it’s only fitting that it’s our debut that gets this treatment since it started the whole thing. These shows will be very special and a once in a lifetime thing, so don’t miss out on this.
We are looking forward to this challenge and the whole band is really excited about these unique nights. See you all out there!!!

This is a one time thing only, don’t miss it.
As special guest we will bring Freedom Call, who will celebrate the 10th anniversary of their ‘Eternity’ album and play a special set around that album.
