Sterbhaus of Stockholm Sweden who recently signed with Black Lodge will release their follow up to the acclaimed album “Angels for Breakfast …And God for Lunch” on the 29th of May. The album is entitled “New Level of Malevolence” and unveiled is now finally not only the tracklist but also the stunning new artwork - true to the preceding release, courtesy of artist Gyula Havancsák (Annihilator, Destruction, Stratovarius etc).

 

 

       

 

On the 27th of March (today) - the very day Sterbhaus is performing at the Black ´n´ Thrash Inferno festival in Oberhausen/Germany with Endstille, Nargaroth among others the quartet also releases a first digital single for the song “Necrostabbing the Corpsefinder” taken from “New Level of Malevolence”.

Sterbhaus who spent 2013 touring as support for Vader, Melechesh and Shining went on to use most of last year finalizing the preproduction as well as finally recording the album during the autumn. Ronnie Björnström (AEON) did the mixing and the band now gears up for heavy touring again. In October Sterbhaus is confirmed as main support for the second leg of “Serpens of Anima” boasting Anaal Nathrakh and Benighted. More tours, shows and festivals are to be announced.

 

The tracklist for “New Level of Malevolence” is as follows:

  1. Grudgeholder + Hatemonger
  2. El Giftus Satanus
  3. Necrostabbing the Corpsefinder
  4. Bloodbarf
  5. Crossed and Pissed and Devoured
  6. New Level of Malevolence
  7. Baby Jee and the 3 Stalkers
  8. The King of the Red
  9. It Came from the Brain
  10. The Grand Theology

 

“New Level of Malevolence” sees Sterbhaus reinventing themselves once more developing their brand of “Metal Deluxe” - the timeless and honest equivalent of Black/Death/Thrash/Heavy Metal that is neither retro nor modern. For those familiar with Sterbhaus dark and twisted humoristic personality, there is as always a good portion of the bands witful and suspiciously sinister characteristics in both lyrics and music thru out the album.

 

As usual, one can expect a wide array of bizarre videos preceding the album release (in collaboration with filmmaker Martin Strandberg known from Shining videos and documentary, Snowy Shaw DVD, Sabaton). To those unfamiliar with the Sterbhaus back catalogue of videos, this is a good chance to check them out:

Electric Mind Machine is one of the most exciting things to come out of the L.A. garage rock scene in a long time. The collaboration between founding members Kenneth Wessel and Sara Loera has resulted in pure sonic alchemy that is sure to induce a state of rock n’ roll euphoria in all who listen. Sharing an appreciation of the music from the 60s garage, psychedelic, mod and freak beat scenes, they developed their sound; keeping a vintage feel but infusing the energy and excitement of the local Southern California club scene. Vocalist Sara Loera conjures the sultry charisma and power of a modern day Mariska Veres of

the legendary Dutch band the Shocking Blue. Supported by the raw, fuzzed out guitars of Kenneth Wessel they create a unique sound that captures the warm feelings of the past, but still has bite.

 

Electric Mind Machine has recently hit the studio to complete a 10 song full-length album. The first song released, “Electric Mind Machine,” was featured on the Garage Punk Hideout’s compilation “Countdown to a Breakdown.” This song was first played on the Infamous Frankystein Deejay Show on Radiolux in Spain and the UK. A local L.A. radio station KXLU 88.9 fm was the first to preview the upcoming single “Pretty Face.”

 

The full-length LP will also feature a unique version of Status Quo’s hit “Pictures of Matchstick Men”

Past projects include the Beat Killers, The Odd Squad, The Sweet Nothings, Crank Williams and 2012 Coachella Festival performers Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Noted as one of Australia’s most exciting up and comers, Melbourne based King Of The North are a two-piece rock powerhouse like no other. The duo delivers a jaw-dropping live show with a sound many regard as a new frontier for the guitar/ drums rock format.

What creates the massive sound KOTN are known for? The “3 from 1 guitar technique” is the cause of this Wall Of Riff! The idea was pioneered by KOTN singer/guitarist Andrew Higgs, (it makes one guitar sound like 2 guitars and a bass) it sets KOTN’s sound apart from any other two-piece and has since earned Higgsy a listing in the 100th issue of Australian Guitar magazine’s “25 future legends of the guitar”. The hard-hitting Danny Leo, regarded by many as one of the top rock drummers in Oz was a Paiste feature artist at 2013’s Ultimate Drummers Weekend.

The single ‘Wanted’ was the feature soundtrack for the BMW 2 series ad aired on TV, Cinema . The ad has since been Banned by the A.A.S.B (Australian Advertising Standrads Board) for potenially inciting unsafe/ hoon driving.

Getting to their audience is what KOTN do, they set out on a mammoth 31 date headline tour from March – June in 2014. “The Sound The Underground Australian Tour” was a great success with sold out shows and rave reviews. Four support shows for USA’s Monster Magnet were added in April, taking the run to 35 dates. Monster Magnet’s front man Dave Wyndorf said about KOTN “You guys fucking ROCK!”

KOTN have played on numerous festivals and bills in Australia with an eclectic range of genres. Their hard-hitting, in your face performance and catchy, melodic songs seem to win over fans from across the board and ages. Alternative, Mainstream, Metal, Rock, Blues, Stoner Rock and even Folk Festivals have hosted King Of The North.

This hard working duo have won the hearts and minds of many and in the process got to play with some of their hero’s.

“An incredibly hard act to follow” – John Garcia (Kyuss, Unida)

“Fuckin’ Great! Massive sound!” – Jimmy Barnes (Cold Chisel)

“They are seriously good!” – Bob Spencer (Skyhooks / The Angels)

The second single and film clip for 'It's Been Too Long' from Sound The Underground was exclusively premiered at a shows on a 12 date national tour in Sept 2014. The Official It's Been Too Long video filmed live at The Espy (Melbourne, Australia) has now been released. KOTN were touring Australia Oct- Dec 2014 featuring 6 shows supporting Aussie legends The Mark Of Cain and will tour Europe in the Fall 2015.

The bands origins can be traced to Cardiff, Wales, where in 2007 keyboard player Gareth David Noon, original bassist Gareth Vanstone and guitarist Chris Gould were put into contact with Birmingham based singer Tony Mills, whose reputation with other melodic rock acts such as Shy and TNT made him an obvious choice for the band.

With a vast catalogue of demos, the four set about creating a collection of songs for what would become their 2010 debut album "A Touch Of Heaven". The album was produced by Sheena Sear and Mark Stuart, British Producers whose work with Magnum as well as rock icons such as Robert Plant and Phil Lynott is well known. Serpentine subsequently inked deals with German based label AOR Heaven and the Japanese label Marquee/Avalon and the album was released in March of 2010 to much critical acclaim, especially in Japan where the band hit the TOP 30 on the National ROCK chart as well as scoring a 92% review in the rock magazine Burrn!.

In the summer of 2010 work began on the follow-up album, unfortunately in the December of that year, with the band geared up to return to the studio, Mills announced his departure following a heart-attack at a Norway airport but committed to finish the ‘Living & Dying in High Definition’ album with the band. Not resting upon their laurels and with live work in the offing Serpentine quickly moved to recruit Matt Black, a singer working in the rock covers band ‘Six Of The Best’ and who they felt had the stage presence and vocal range to pull off the Mills material live.

Serpentine hit the road with Black in March 2011 first appearing at a showcase in London with Houston, and later as part of a tour with Crashdiet. ‘Living & Dying in High Definition’ was released in September 2011 with sections of the press gushing that the band could well have “delivered the album of their lives”. Festivals dates at Firefest, Hard Rock Hell, Rockfest Madrid, HRH AOR and HEAT Festival in Germany followed as well as tours with Ten, Romeo’s Daughter and FM while Noon and Gould worked up musical ideas for their third album.

After having toured with Gary Hughes of Ten during the summer of 2012, the band met with him several months later in the north-west of England with their management to assess the demos they had amassed over the previous year and to iron out details of a collaboration/producer role for their next record. A year later, and with the material all but finalized, Matt Black left the band citing his will to move in a different direction musically. A few weeks later and after a period of ill health, Gareth Vanstone also bowed out. SERPENTINE quickly moved to recruit Adam Payne - a singer whose talent had come to their attention after hearing his voice on a track with his former band ‘Tidal’ - and prodigiously talented bassist Owen Crawford from ‘Triaxis’. The new look Serpentine entered Gary Hughes’ Doghouse Studio in Blackpool to record their new opus - ‘Circle of Knives’. The band had also lined up Neil Kernon to mix the record, but after a short time working together the sound emerging from the mixes were not what the band had envisaged, and so Sheena Sear who had produced and mixed the bands previous two records stepped in to finalise the mix.

Payne and Crawford made their live debuts with SERPENTINE at Planet Rockstock and a warm up date at EVI in Ebbw Vale in late 2014 and the band are now approaching a release date for their new album ‘Circle of Knives’ on AOR Heaven with live dates in 2015 kicking off with an appearance at this year’s HardRockHell AOR3 Festival in March.

Miss Behaviour - The Biography

The story of Miss Behaviour goes back to 2004. Keyboard player Henrik Sproge and guitarist Erik Heikne were both studying Music Management at the Baltic Business School in Kalmar, Sweden, when the idea of Miss Behaviour first came up. With a great passion for 80's melodic hard rock and AOR, they decided to start the band to express their vision of how a modern rock band, inspired by the great bands of the eighties should sound.

The first Miss Behaviour songs where written in a student apartment in Kalmar in late 2004 and ended up at the 3-song EP Give us the world. Miss Behavior worked –and still do with producer/technician Daniel Gese who had a career as drummer/producer with his 80’s metal/sleaze band Pole Position  in the late 80s/early 90s.

After the debut album Heart of Midwinter was released in 2006, Henrik and Erik decided to recruit the new lead singer Sebastian Roos, a quite well known singer in Sweden, with a lot of touring, TV and radio performances and Eurovision song contest on his CV. The breakthrough came with the Album Last Woman Standing, released in 2011.

In spring 2011 Miss Behaviour competed in Swedish national radio with the song Till we meet again, making the première live performance with the current lineup in front of 400000 radio listeners. Joining forces with former Backyard Babies manager Michael Sundén in 2011 the band hit the roads in the UK. 

Late 2011, after touring the UK with CrashDiet, the album Last Woman Standing won the Melodic.net ”Best AoR album of 2011” readers poll with 23% of the votes, leaving bands like Journey, Robin Beck, Work of Art and more behind. The reviews were fantastic and the album got top scores in important magazines, such as Classic Rock (UK), Sweden Rock Magazine (Sweden) and more.

UK Magazine Classic Rock picked Cynthia as one of the best tracks in 2011, and featured the song on the compilation Classic Rock Buzz. Miss Behaviour returned to the UK on the Smokehead Rocks Tour, playing another 10 dates and finished the tour with a sold out show at O2 Islington Academy in London, Oktober 12th, 2011. In the middle of the song writing and recordings of the new album Michael Sundén tragically passed, in a horrible accident at venue Rock City, Nottingham. This loss took a while to recover from but finally the brand new album Double Agent  was finished and received great feedback in the press last year.

 

Last Woman Standing – Re-Issue

Last Woman Standing (2011) was the band’s breakthrough album. "Cynthia" was selected one of the best songs of 2011 by Classic Rock (Melodic BUZZ CD). The single "Till we meet again" premiered live in Swedish national radio with 200k+ listeners. The video had over 60000 views.

The Bonus material (* tracks 12 & 13): These songs were written in 2011 and recorded in a new session whit the new members Niclas Lindblom (Bass) and Magnus Jacobson (drums). The same line-up that consists today and played two UK-tours back in 2011 and 2012.
