ENIAWAR have released their 2nd album (as of December 1st). The band from Croatia consists of Marin Tramontana (guitars, music ), and Katarina Tramontana (vocals, and lyrics), as well as Hugo Ribeiro (drums). Another World is a 10 track set of hard rock, with great vocals, and a cool set of fresh sounding rockers. Love the overall sound and production on this album! I’m just getting in to this, but it is easily likeable right away. Check out the 3 videos I’ve included below, as well as the links below!
DOKKEN’s latest album Heaven Comes Down features the eye-catching cover art created by the band’s bass player Chris McCarvill. Chris has also designed the cover for the band’s 2012 album Broken Bones, as well as his other band Maxx Explosion. In our exchange below Chris details the album’s artwork, as well as his other art and covers he’s designed (also see links below).
You are known more so as a musician, and member of Dokken, but can you tell me a bit about your art work, how you got in to that, and what you do as far as professionally and as hobby/interest in it?
I’ve been a professional graphic artist for 30 years, mainly in screenprinting. I now co-own a screenprinting company, Savin Rock Printing. I’ve always been interested in art; my dad and younger brother are great artists, and my mother was pretty good too. I’m not trained or schooled; I just like it.
You’re credited with the cover art on the new (and previous) Dokken album. Can you tell how the album cover idea / inspiration for Heaven Comes Down came about? was the cover your idea / design, and/or input and suggestions from other bandmembers?
I had visited Don’s house in Beverly Hills in 2016 when we were playing the Whiskey, and he had an Asian wooden griffin statue that caught my attention. He said that was the first piece of art he had bought when the band had started making money. It’s not restored, it looks very old and it’s quite large. Dokken cover art features a phoenix sometimes and this piece seemed to just fit, it’s the right style, its heavy metal looking, but also artistic and classy. I’d mentioned to Don that the griffin was my vote for an album cover more than once.
That said, it’s in a very static, boring, standing position which is not exciting for an album cover. I looked at a lot of pictures of mainly lions jumping and based the dynamics on that but used the head, features, and details of the griffin.
Is there a story behind the cover in terms of a meaning relating to Dokken or any of the songs?
It’s more of a symbol of Don and how he rises in the face of many difficulties.
What all did you do on the Heaven Comes Down cover (as you are not the only one credited)? And can you explain a bit of how it was done (technique used, drawing?, computer?, lay out, etc…)
This started as a good old pencil sketch. I did 2 sketches. Don thought the first one was too skinny, so version 2 was more muscular. I decided to make most of the griffon vector, or object based, meaning I could move elements around as I figured there would be many changes – and there were. Illustrating it this way allowed me to move and re-proportion things without having to completely redraw, and I could use the objects as masks in photoshop, like how an airbrush artist uses stencils. So, I sketched it, did a lot of color work, then Hiro (I think he works with Silver Lining – our record label) did better hands than mine, and a couple other details. He also did an entirely different griffon, in different colors, but we ended up going with mine. I had thought the art was approved, Don liked it, and we were sent a final version that had been photoshopped with different colors and different backgrounds. I thought it looked great, though I don’t know who did that final coloring/layering. So, this cover was a bit of a group effort.
You’ve done a few other album covers, any you wish to touch on (or elaborate on a bit) and were particularly happy with?
I’m never super happy with my own work. Out of the few I’ve done I probably like the Maxx Explosion records. I’m sure you’ll see the Hugh Syme influence. I’ve never pursued art the way I’ve pursued music. I think I’m ok at it, but I’m definitely not in the same category as my influences.
Were you a fan of album covers growing up? any favorite album cover artists and a perhaps top 5-10 list of favorite album covers?
Oh yeah. Growing up for me was pre-internet, so album covers felt like a window into the world of the band. I liked Hugh Syme’s covers a lot, I had the Whitesnake 1987 album. I constantly wondered what the brass logo icon was or if it did something, like was it some sort of portal, or lock, or gateway? Hugh’s concrete and marble textures always gave the music a sort of classy mystery. His concepts are usually breathtaking as well (look at Dream Theater’s Distance Over Time). I love Doug Johnson’s Judas Priest covers (Screaming for Vengeance / Defenders of the Faith / Turbo). They have a glossy, stylized, almost surreal look that’s instantly recognizable. Hipgnosis also did great stuff like Black Sabbath’s Technical Ecstasy cover, Storm Thorgurson’s Pink Floyd Division Bell, Muse’s Absolution. I also like Mark Norton’s work with the Rolling Stones very much. Roger Dean’s fantasy landscapes always captured my imagination too.
As for the new Dokken album, any favorite songs and ones you look forward to playing live?
We haven’t played much of the record live yet, so I’m not super sure, but I like Just Like a Rose, Fugitive, and Gypsy. I’m not sure that we’ll ever do it, but I love the song, Santa Fe. Having known Don for a little while now I know he writes very sincerely and that one is so him.
Helsinki’s SATAN’S FALL has an outstanding new album out – Destination Destruction(SPV/Steamhammer). Check out my review elsewhere on this site, but if you’re in to SAXON, HELLOWEEN, or JUDAS PRIEST’s later albums – I highly recommend checking this album out. In tis following interview guitarist – Tomi Mäenpää answers my questions about the band’s forming, the making of and songs on Destination Destruction, and the band’s upcoming plans.
Enjoy the read, check out the new album, and links below!
Can you tell me a bit about the band’s beginnings, the band name choice, and up through the changes that happened since the band’s previous album?
Satan’s Fall started almost by accident and I’ve often laughed that this is a band that was never supposed to be a band. The band started when we played together with another founding member, i.e. our former guitarist Kride. We didn’t intend to start a band, just to drink beer and play the guitar together, but when riffs and melodies started to emerge, we started asking more people to join us. At that point, when we were looking for other guys to join the band, Satan’s Cross was chosen as the name. The name was meant to be attention-grabbing and maybe a little infuriating. At the same time, when we recorded the first ‘Seven Nights’ demo, some Mexican band managed to grab the name for themselves. Kride and I then thought about a new name and ended up with the name Satan’s Fall. We didn’t think of any Mercyful Fate connection at the time, even though everyone knows they have a song of the same name. Satan was thrown out of heaven because he started to rebel, and heavy metal has a similar rebellion against authority figures.
When did writing and recording begin for the new album? And what sort of direction or new ideas were decided upon for this new line-up and album?
I composed the first song ‘Lead the Way’ as soon as Final Day came out, so it was 2021. Then I did ‘Dark Star’ and Lassi (ex-guitarist) did ‘Garden of Fire’. With the demos of those songs, we approached record companies, which then led to a recording contract with Steamhammer. After that, it was a bit quieter, because Ville (ex-drummer) decided to leave the band, as a result of which Lassi also left. We got new and current guitarist Ville Koskinen in the band immediately when Lassi announced his departure, but I had to look for a drummer for several months until I found Arttu. Basically, we don’t think that now we have to make this or that type of song, but they are created purely by playing and feeling. Personally, I at least want to try different approaches to music, as I did with the song ‘Dark Star’. I tried to see what kind of song you could build on one rhythm guitar riff. After all, everything else is built on top of that one rhythm track. I think it worked out well.
How do Satan’s Fall songs come together? Who writes them musically & lyrically, and what inspires musical & lyrical ideas?
Me and Ville, i.e. the guitarists, mainly wrote the music for the new album and Miika then does the lyrics and vocal arrangements. Anything can be a source of inspiration, and it often is. Less often, I’m personally inspired by listening to old heavy metal to make my own music. I do notice which bands do that, because then they all sound exactly the same. Most of the time, things seem to arise by themselves and subconsciously. I don’t really know how to describe it any better, since I don’t really have any answer. Miika’s lyrics are very much about the downfall of humanity.
Destination Destruction has an excellent sound, great production. Can you talk a bit about how happy you are with how things turned out?
We are satisfied with how the album sounds, but of course some things could have been done differently, but I guess everyone thinks the same way about their albums. Our former guitarist Lassi was again responsible for recording, mixing and producing. Of course we also shouted out our ideas and how we wanted certain things to sound. The main thing is not to start repeating the same things we have already done.
You guys have an awesome 2 guitar heavy sound? Any 2 guitar bands you like to look up to or like to be compared to?
At this point, I’m not interested in comparing ourselves to anyone else or whether we’re being compared to another band. Totally irrelevant to us.
Can you talk a bit about some of the new songs – any antidotes or stories behind tracks like Afterglow, No Gods No Masters, Lead The Way…? Any that stand out for you guys personally?
Each song has it’s own story and you can read it in the lyrics. The listener can then draw their own conclusions about the theme of the song’s lyrics. A song like ‘No Gods, No Masters’ is a pretty clear statement based on the name alone. Or what do you think? My favorite is ‘Afterglow’, but I like all the songs on the album, because each song has its own place on the album.
I really like the last track ‘Dark Star”, a powerful track musically and vocally. I gotta say (if this doesn’t seem odd) the guitar solo (and faint keyboards!?) kinda reminds me of Neil Young’s ‘Like A Hurricane’. Love it.
I do not know. Neil Young has nothing to do with this song, but people hear things in their own way. Dark Star was the second song I wrote for the new album. I wanted to try out what kind of song I could compose based on just one rhythm guitar riff. So the song has only one rhythm riff and everything else is built on top of it. We got a nice little extra spice to it with the synths and Ville plays a brilliant and atmospheric solo guitar at the end.
Interesting couple of cover songs as bonus tracks! Especially the Power Ranger theme, which is instantly recognizable here (my older kids watched this show way back). How did this idea even come up to record it?
The record company wanted two bonus songs for the CD version, so we selected a couple of our favorites. I personally don’t care for the bonus tracks on the album because they spoil the overall feel. There’s nothing worse than listening to a great album set and then after the last song a bonus song starts playing. At worst, they are some old shitty quality live or rehearsal tracks.
Can you guys tell me a bit about the album’s cover-art — who created it, how much input and ideas or suggestions did you put forth?
The cover art was created by Dan Goldsworthy, who has done covers for Accept and Gloryhammer, among others. The idea was ours, but the execution was then completely in the hands of the artist. We didn’t like the first draft, but then Dan nailed it perfectly with this second version that ended up on the cover. In the picture, people are walking towards the light, even though they are walking into a human slaughterhouse.
What have been some of the live highlights for the band over last few years – favorite festivals, bills you were on, opening slots, bands you’ve shared stage with and got to meet?
Perhaps the best gig memory is when we played the 2017 Headbangers Open Air in Germany to a big crowd that was very involved throughout the gig. Good memories are also when we played a couple of times with Manilla Road (R.I.P. Mark Shelton) and warmed up Pentagram and Satan.
We also warmed up Primordial with a couple of gigs in Finland. After those gigs came the first member change, when singer Markus, drummer Tommi and Kride left the band after the second gig.
What is coming up for you guys in the near future? Any major festival announcements or tours?
We are trying to build a European tour for next spring, but the situation seems pretty impossible at the moment, because Venues don’t respond to e-mails or offer ridiculous deals where the artist pays for everything from sound technicians to drinks. We have a few festival gigs coming up, but no major festival shows. Heavy metal is not of much interest to big festival organizers these days, and it is unlikely that there will ever be a change.
There is a great hard rock & metal scene in Finland, can you give us a few bands or albums you guys would recommend to check out from there?
All Stratovarius material from 1989-2000, Children of Bodom’s first three records and Tarot’s first two records.
I enjoyed SPIRIT ADRIFT’s previous album, 20 Centuries Gone (2022), which included a number of covers), and Ghost Of The Gallows, this metal trio from Austin, Texas takes it up a notch. Based around songwriting, and vocals of Nate Garrett, who also handles bass, rhythm guitar and a few other things here, Spirit Adrift also features the lead guitar work of Tom Draper, and drums by Mike Arelanno, Ghost Of The Gallows is a classic modern day metal release. A lot to dig in to here, 8 solid tracks, all different enough and interesting enough to warrant many returns to find something more to like. Favorites include “Hanged Man’s Revenge”, the ballad “These Two Hands”, and the album’s epic title track which closes this. *Check out the press info and links below.
With Ghost At The Gallows,bandleader Nate Garrett has delivered Spirit Adrift’s most fully realized work to date; a record that confidently stands at the crossroads of heavy metal at its most epic and elemental and hard rock at its most honest and heartfelt.
The road lead to the album was nothing short of massive undertaking. Garrett has been weaving the sonic tapestry of Spirit Adrift since 2015, marking his own personal growth from doom metal and his much-documented sobriety to today’s sonic triumph with Ghost At The Gallows. The album intricately pulls together every element of Garrett’s riff-mongering musical mastery to arrive at a conclusion and start a new chapter for Spirit Adrift.
British rock icons MAGNUM share “Blue Tango”, the first single from their upcoming studio album, ‘Here Comes the Rain’, out January 12th, 2024 via Steamhammer / SPV (Pre-OrderHERE) . The track is accompanied by a new lyric video.
Tony Clarkin had this to say about “Blue Tango,” : “Apart from MAGNUM’s typical trademarks, ‘Here Comes The Rain’ also holds a number of thoroughly pleasant surprises in store, such as ‘Blue Tango’, which is a real riff-rock number that makes you want to move your feet.”
There are few great bands on our planet that can be infallibly identified within the first few bars of one of their songs. With unique melodic skill, tasteful instrumentation, an amazing balance of depth and catchiness, and, of course, that charismatic voice: MAGNUM are Magnum!
The same can be said of their latest studio album ‘Here Comes The Rain’, which will be released via CD + DVD, double vinyl LP, as a box set and for digital download, proving once again that classic rock music could hardly sound more atmospheric.
The album’s highly inspired artwork is once more designed by the great Rodney Matthews, who has already created a number of MAGNUM sleeves to support the band’s atmospherically dense music. Says Tony Clarkin: “The back cover features a kind of avian battalion in attack mode, which I think is a great allegory!”
Apart from MAGNUM’s typical trademarks, ‘Here Comes The Rain’ also holds a number of thoroughly pleasant surprises. First single, “Blue Tango”, is a catchy, guitar rock groover while “The Seventh Darkness”, is filled with awesome brass sections courtesy of guest musicians Chris ‘BeeBe’ Aldridge (saxophone) and Nick Dewhurst (trumpet), which lend the song brilliance and shape.
There is no doubt about it: ‘Here Comes The Rain’ sees the MAGNUM line-up consisting of Catley, Clarkin, keyboardist Rick Benton, bassist Dennis Ward and drummer Lee Morris, once again succeed in creating an outstanding, colorful, varied and inspired new studio album. “Everyone played their part without me dictating anything,” Clarkin enthuses, “everyone just instinctively played what their inspiration told them.”
Legendary rock guitarist Steve Hackett will release his new studio album ‘The Circus And The Nightwhale’ on 16th February 2024, via InsideOut Music. A rite-of-passage concept album with a young character called Travla at the centre of it, ‘The Circus And The Nightwhale’s’ 13 tracks have an autobiographical angle for the musician who says about his 30th solo release: “I love this album. It says the things I’ve been wanting to say for a very long time.”
‘The Circus And The Nightwhale’ is Steve’s first new music in over two years. It follows the beautiful acoustic LP ‘Under A Mediterranean Sky’ from January 2021 – which rose to No 2 in the UK Classical chart – and, in September of that year, his metallic masterpiece Surrender Of Silence, which hit the UK Top 40. His 2023 live album, ‘Foxtrot At Fifty + Hackett Highlights: Live in Brighton’, reached No 2 in the Rock & Metal Chart. Steve’s new LP promises ballads, blues, blistering progressive rock… and healthy measures of theatre and fantasia.
Recorded between tours in 2022 and 2023 at Siren studio in the UK – with guest parts beamed in from Sweden, Austria, the US, Azerbaijan and Denmark, the line-up for ‘The Circus And The Nightwhale’ includes some familiar faces alongside Steve on electric and acoustic guitars, 12-string, mandolin, harmonica, percussion, bass and vocals. Roger King (keyboards, programming and orchestral arrangements), Rob Townsend (sax), Jonas Reingold (bass), Nad Sylvan (vocals), Craig Blundell (drums) and Amanda Lehmann on vocals. Nick D’Virgilio and Hugo Degenhardt return as guests on the drumstool, engineer extraordinaire Benedict Fenner appears on keyboards and Malik Mansurov is back with the tar. Finally, Steve’s brother John Hackett is present once more on flute.
The new album will be available to pre-order from the 1st December 2023 on several different formats, including a Limited CD+Blu-ray mediabook (including 5.1 Surround Sound & 24bit high resolution stereo mixes), Standard CD Jewelcase, Gatefold 180g Vinyl LP & as Digital Album. All feature the stunning cover painting by Denise Marsh.

Steve is currently on tour in North America, continuing his ‘Foxtrot At Fifty + Hackett Highlights’ run. Next year he will tour the world extensively, including a brand-new UK tour under the name ‘Genesis Greats, Lamb Highlights & Solo’, and that will see him return to the legendary Royal Albert Hall.

KILLINGTON PIT consists of singer Terry LeRoi (Granny 4 Barrel), bassist Chuck Garric (Alice Cooper, Beasto Blanco), as well as guitarist Troy Mclawhorn and drummer Will Hunt (both of Evanescence) . The new band’s first single release was a cover of the 1983 Accept classic, “Balls to the Wall,” and they have a new single – a rendition of the Rainbow classic, “Kill the King”. This features guest guitarists Stef Burns (Alice Cooper, Y&T, Huey Lewis & The News) and Jeff Blando (Slaughter, LynchMob). *Chck out the videos and links below the band’s info and comments…
Terry LeRoi says, “Recording “Kill The King” was an incredible experience! We were fortunate enough to have 2 insanely talented special guests on this recording; Stef Burns and Jeff Blando! It really was a privilege working with everyone on this! I’ve always been a huge fan of the Blackmore/Dio “Rainbow” era and paying tribute to that band and those musicians is a true honor. “Kill The King” is a legendary track and was one of our first choices as we were assembling our collection of songs for the Killington Pit covers album. I had read some past articles where Ronnie explained the song was inspired by the game of chess. That inspired us to create a video that we hope Ronnie would’ve loved and the fans of Rainbow will truly enjoy!”
Stef Burns – “Kill The King is killer!! It was super fun blasting out that classic Rainbow track with great players such as Will Hunt, Blando, and my Alice Cooper brother Chuck Garric! Terry sings his butt off! Of course I’m a longtime Blackmore fan so that made it extra fun.”
Jeff Blando – “What a blast it was rocking out with all these great and talented musicians. My partner in crime, William Hunt on drums, Power Vocals from Terry LeRoi, Wild Man Chuck Garric on bass and I’ve always wanted to jam with the Incredible Stef Burns on guitars. Getting to pay homage to one of my all-time favorite vocalist, Mr. Ronnie James Dio was an incredible fun and rocking experience. I hope everyone digs this track as much as I had fun being a part of it. ROCK ON!!!!”
Will Hunt – “I had a blast tracking this classic Rainbow tune Kill The King with the fellas. It was a great opportunity personally for me to pay homage to the legendary Cozy Powell who was taken from us way too soon. I wanted to copy a lot of what he did because it was so perfect for the song while adding some of my own flavor to it. I think the end result is pretty bombastic.”
Chuck Garric – “It’s an honor to pay homage to my mentor and my friend!…..To the King “Ronnie James Dio”
LeRoi adds – “Over the coming months we will be releasing our full length covers album with accompanying videos. 2024 will see us playing select shows worldwide and releasing original Killington Pit music. We’re looking forward to sharing this with all of the fans!”
Destination Destruction is SATAN’S FALL’s 2nd album. This band from Finland delivers a heavy, 2-guitar, 8 song killer album. Full of big riffs, memorable melodic rockers, and anthems, and just a powerful sound with the production & mix. The first 2 singles “Lead The Way” & “Afterglow” were cool, but favorites here gotta be “Monster’s Ball” with it’s soft guitar built up intro before the band comes in, delivering a great melodic rocker (as light as it gets here), “No Gods, No Masters” with interesting little guitar intro (reminiscent of Saxon’s “Crusader”), before the band kicks in to a faster rocker, there’s a spoken word bit which I presume tells part of the story, and the last track is perhaps the best one here – “Dark Star”, some of this (guitar solo/melody) remind me of Neil Young’s “Like A Hurricane”, but dig this track. These guys even recorded a couple of covers as bonus tracks – one being a theme to a German TV show, and the other being the ‘Power Rangers’ TV show theme! Prior to 2020’s Final Day album, Satan’s Fall had released a few singles & EPs since 2016 – one of which included a decent metalized take of Kenny Loggins’ hit “Danger Zone”!
This is my favorite metal album lately, no bum tracks to skip over, a great listen all the eway through. Recommended to fans of Saxon, Helloween, Grave Digger, and and latter day Judas Priest. Looking forward to getting the actually LP.
HARD ROCKERS SVEN GALI RETURN WITH EXPLOSIVE COMEBACK ALBUM BOMBS & BATTLE SCARS RELEASED IN CANADA
SVEN GALI’s trademark blend of heavy riffs, gritty vocals, and anthemic melodies span decades. Cutting their teeth in the bar circuit of Southern Ontario, Canada in the late 80’s, SVEN GALI’s live show was a full on circus of sex, drugs and rock n’ roll.
Emerging with a record deal with BMG, SVEN GALI released their debut self-titled release in 1992. From the first chord of “Under The Influence” SVEN GALI made their mark. Follow up singles “Tie Dyed Skies” and “In My Garden” paved the way for the ballad number 6 CanCon song of 1993 that also went Top 10 nationwide, “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore.” As the album went Gold, SVEN GALI won the MuchMusic Best Metal Video Award in 1993 for “Under The Influence” and was nominated for two Junos. With a worldwide release, SVEN GALI toured with the likes of Def Leppard, Foreigner and April Wine.
SVEN GALI’s follow-up, Inwire, was partly recorded in in Seattle with producer Kelly Gray and saw the band take on a more alternative experimental tone. The band broke up soon after the album’s release and played sporadic shows before solidifying a new lineup with original members Dave Wanless (vocals), Andy Frank (guitar) and TT (bass) bringing in guitarist Sean Williamson and drummer Dan Fila from former BMG labelmates Varga.
SVEN GALI’s new release Bombs & Battlescars through Canadian label, Music In Motion Ent, combines the best of both SVEN GALI eras. The album contains five new originals. “One Gun” is a relentless driver that sets the battlefield ablaze with its blistering guitar work and commanding vocals. The massive groove of “Coming Home” and fierce anthem “Monster” showcase Sven Gali’s unapologetic attitude while the sonic prowess of “Life Inside” stands side by side with any current alternative metal peers. Closer “Nothing New” showcases the melodic side of the band with a catchy acoustic groove.
Bombs & Battlescars also brings the band full circle with a cover of Triumph’s “Spellbound.” Recorded at Toronto’s Metalworks studio where many of SVEN GALI’s early songs were recorded and demoed, acclaimed Coney Hatch frontman Andy Curran produced the track bringing the song into the modern age. Triumph drummer Gil Moore also appears in the video. The album is filled out with three remastered unreleased tracks from the band’s 90’s recording vault.
Bombs & Battlescars is out now, for both physical and streaming. Videos for “One Gun” and “Monster” are presently available online. The band’s third single, “Coming Home,” is set to coincide with the international release of Bombs & Battlescars on Feb 02, 2024. This date will also feature the debut of “Coming Home” mixed in Dolby Atmos (courtesy of Iguana Studios in Toronto ON) along with a new video for the single.
Bombs & Battle scars on CD and limited edition army green vinyl are available through retail. Signed CDs and LPs are available through their web store. *Watch for the Record Store Day release of Sven Gali’s 1992 debut on marble purple vinyl on November 24!
*Go to Svengali.ca for social media links, videos, merchandise and shows.
Celebrating 50 years since he joined DEEP PURPLE, David Coverdale (& Whitesnake) have reissued their 2015 album ‘The Purple Album‘ (remastered), as a special Gold edition (That was followed by the 2017 ‘The Purple Tour‘ album…hmm, wow). Not sure that I need this album again, but this track – “You Fool No One” sounds particularly good, with a cool collage of Whitesnake clips together making up the video. The song is updated, and much heavier than the original Deep Purple classic from Burn. Rhino’s 2CD + blu-ray version of this includes a pile of extra takes, and interesting bits like Coverdale’s Deep Purple Audition tape, which is likely most worthwhile to pick up.
Check out the video below. Incidentally, Glenn Hughes has been playing one on his current tour celebrating Deep Purple classics as well. See track-listing and links below.
