Här kommer ytterligare ett av väldigt många projektband skapat av bolaget Frontiers Music. Denna gång handlar det om Killer Kings som till stora delar kretsar kring sångaren Gregory Lynn Hall (101 South) och gitarristen Tristan Avakian (Red Dawn, Queen Extravaganza). På debutalbumet som fått namnet ”Burn For Love” medverkar även Alessandro Del Vecchio (bas, Keyboards) och Nicholas Papapicco (trummor). När det gäller Alessandro Del Vecchio så har han även varit med och mixat och mastrat hela kalaset. Albumets produktion är det inget att klaga på utan den håller hög kvalitet rakt igenom.
Tycker att låtmaterialet är helt ok. Här hittar man till exempel spår som ”Burn For Love” , ”I Will Be Stronger”, ”Higher”, ”Phoenix”, ”Do Or Die”, ”The Pains Of Yesterday” och ”Ain’t No End In Sight”. Men som helhet tycker jag att albumet är ganska ojämt. Men visst har det sina ljuspunkter. Alla som diggar AOR i stil med 101 South och liknande kommer säkerligen ge detta album en chans.
Den 25:e november släpper bolaget Beat Goes on samlingsalbumet ”A’s & B’s (The Sony Years)” med det klassiska bandet Fastway. Plattan kommer att innehålla följande låtar:
1. Easy Livin’ 2. Say What You Will 3. We Become One 4. Crazy Dream 5. Far Far From Home 6. Back In The Game 7. All Fired Up 8. Hurtin’ Me 9. Station 10. Tell Me 11. The Stranger 12.

Det nya projektbandet Krell släpper debutskivan ”Deserts” den 25:e november via bolaget Sneakout Records & Burning Minds Music Group. Så här går att läsa i ett pressmeddelande:
“Deserts” is the result of an intense musical collaboration between the long-established singer and cofounder of Crying Steel, Luca Bonzagni, and Francesco Di Nicola (Danger Zone, Crying Steel, Anims). They have never played in Crying Steel simultaneously: their compositions, created and developed between 2013 and 2018, have given rise to the artistic partnership that then materialized into ”God Is A Witness”, the debut album of the Anims project (released on April 29, 2022 by Sneakout Records). Now, with the project Krell, they both express themselves in their entirety.
For drums, Francesco Di Nicola, producer of the album, has made use of the unquestionable artistic qualities of Paolo Caridi, a musician with countless recording experiences (Reb Beach, Geoff Tate, Michele Luppi) including his current involvement in the American duo Ellefson-Soto.
Krell is the name of the group, but it symbolically represents a precise objective: it’s a way for the artists to communicate in the most up-to-date way, the pure manifestation of classic hard & heavy music that they have both lived and experienced over the years. The lyrics, composed by Luca Bonzagni, transmit emotions, describe sensations, situations and express feelings: elements that have inevitably influenced the singing itself and inspired the title of the album.
The ten tracks were recorded at Pristudio in Bologna, Italy, and have therefore benefited from the long experience of Roberto Priori, who as a sound engineer, as well as an expert musical artist of the rock genre in its broadest sense, has skillfully immortalised the instruments in order to convey the precise intent of each song to the listener.
“Deserts” is set for release on November 25, 2022 via Sneakout Records / Burning Minds Music Group, with worldwide distribution via Plastic Head.
Tracklist:
1. Desert 2. Crushing Your Life 3. Learn Or Burn 4. In The Cold 5. Pride 6. Secrets And Lies 7. Love’s A Flame 8. The River 9. Why I’m Here 10. The Mantis
Line-up:
Luca Bonzagni – Vocals Paolo Caridi – Drums Francesco Di Nicola – Guitar, Bass
