> SISTER SIN
A tie-in has been announced with Victory Records to enable Metal Heaven to release the new album by stunning Swedish female fronted aggro-rock band Sister Sin.
Released on July 26th, True Sounds Of The Underground sees the Swedes, who spent all of last year touring with the likes of Arch Enemy and Motörhead, becoming a venomous live act into the bargain, refining their unique blend of early 80´s heavy metal and punk aggro-rock into an even more hard hitting, determined machine.
An injection of new blood and attitude has seen Sister Sin earning a spot on the video game Rock Band, but True Sound Of The Underground picks up right where debut Switchblade Serenades left off and charismatic front woman Liv adds: “Our music is not some kind of backward looking, retro bullshit; this is a serious testament to the raucous spirit of true heavy metal and Rock n’ Roll. We’re here to raise hell…get into it!” Rock on!!
The album contains the first single 'Outrage' and the fast paced title track 'Sound Of The Underground' as well as the tribute song 'Beat ‘Em Down', which is dedicated to the late, great Gothenburg boxing champ Ingemar "Ingo" Johansson.
True Sound Of The Underground was produced and mixed by Henrik Edenhed (Dead By April, Lambretta) and recorded at the legendary EMI Studios in Stockholm.
Track list: 1. Sound Of The Underground, 2. Outrage, 3. Better Than Them, 4. 24/7, 5. Heading For Hell, 6. I Stand Alone, 7. Built To Last, 8. The Devil I Know, 9. Times Aren’t A-Changing, 10. Nailbiter, 11. Beat ‘Em Down

> BLACK MANALISHI WANT TO TOUR!
Black Manalishi’s self financed, self-produced new album,Trailblazer, has been going down a storm and they are now looking for live appearances throughout the rest of this year.
Can you help 'em? You can hear the band at http://www.blackmanalishi.com/ or http://www.myspace.com/blackmanalishi
Recorded on a shoe-string budget in less than two weeks, the album captures the full, powerful sound of Black Manalishi with all its rawness, balls and feeling intact!
The band are attracting these type of quotes from the media...
“Unequivocally, Trailblazer is a MONSTER!!”
“Old School Power Rock. Stunning"
"The North's best rock/blues band...Led Zep for the 21st Century."
Since the album was finished the band have managed to reach new musical heights with the addition of the new rhythm section Lee and Sean. Their skills and power take the album up a notch when played live and will have a major impact on taking the band’s sound to an even greater level on their next album.
Black Manalishi have now firmly established themselves as one of the bands to see in the UK at the moment. Taking influence from ‘70's hard rockers, the band combine free-wheelin’ musical improvisation, delicately crafted song writing, and an immense wall of sound. Live, they are truly a band to be witnessed and fully deserve the accolades they have recently received. Based in the North West, the band has recently rocked venues across the country and now has a loyal, wide fan base, including an international contingent!
Having now recorded 4 albums, the band have had the experience to hone down their sound to its bare essentials - hard and heavy bluesy rock 'n’ roll, in what the critics are describing as their best album to date.
