On January 8, 2016 the 5th studio album by Cloudscape entitled ”Voice of Reason” will be released worldwide. The band describes the album to be another step forward but, also flirting with their early albums musically. The songs are a nice blend between straight forward, hard-hitting metal songs to more progressive and majestic tracks. ”Voice of Reason” was mixed and produced by Anders ”Theo” Theander at RoastingHouse Studios. The artwork was once again created by Mattias Norén (www.progart.com)

Cloudscape was formed in 2001 and they released their self-titled debut album in 2005. Over the years Cloudscape have played live at many well respected metal festivals all over Europe and built a great reputation of being an impressive live act. In early 2014 Cloudscape played a 3.5 weeks long European tour, visiting 17 cities which turned out to become a great, well-earned success for the Swedish group.

The songwriting for the 5th album entitled Voice Of Reason started in 2013. This time the band wanted to create songs that flirts a bit with their earlier albums but, at the same time entering new territories musically within the melodic metal genre. For the first time in the bands discography the band have a title track…Voice Of Reason. It’s a song in the more progressive vein with lots of dynamic, atmospheric moments mixed with crunchy and heavy parts…a song that resembles what Cloudscape have been and is about musically. Voice Of Reason was mixed and mastered at the RoastingHouse Studio One by producer & engineer Anders ”Theo” Theander. Voice Of Reason was released in Europe on January 8, 2016 via Swedish metal label Dead End Exit Records (a division of RoastingHouse Music).

Von seinen Pop-Wurzeln mit The Outlaws und vielen Studioaufnahmen in den Sechzigern über den packenden Hardrock mit Deep Purple und Rainbow in den Siebzigern und Achtzigern bis zum Mittelalter-Rock mit Blackmore’s Night hat Blackmore bewiesen, dass er ein (Gitarren-) Meister aller Klassen ist. „The Ritchie Blackmore Story” erzählt zum ersten Mal die ganze Geschichte seiner bemerkenswerten Karriere, mit Videoclips unter anderem von „Smoke On The Water”, „Highway Star”, „Since You’ve Been Gone”, „Wring That Neck”, „Space Truckin’”, „All Night Long”, „Long Live Rock‘n’Roll”, „Hush”, „Black Night”, „Child In Time”, „Mistreated”, „Burn”, „Man On The Silver Mountain”, „I Surrender”, „Perfect Strangers”, „Play Minstrel Play”, „Renaissance Faire” oder „Fires At Midnight”.

The new Swedish classic hard rock band MAJOR INSTINCT is the brainchild of M.ILL.IONfounder, main songwriter and bass guitarist B.J Laneby. After 25 years, seven highly critically acclaimed albums with six figures sales and international touring, he decided to put M.ILL.ION to rest and start something new. This decision came after B.J became very ill and actually nearly died at the end of their last UK-tour (June/July 2014). Several months of intensive care both in the UK and in Sweden followed and once conscious and recovering, he had a lot of time to think. Said and done, the best musicians and the coolest guys available in Sweden were picked and in late December 2014 MAJOR INSTINCT was formed in Gothenburg. A BAND, not a project! The line-up soon was completed with Stefano Marchesini (lead vocals, ex HUMAN RACE), Magnus Mild (guitars), Johan Häll (drums, ex- M.ILL.ION) and 22-year old newcomer Gabriel Glamheden (Hammond & keys).

The songwriting took place in the first part of 2015 and carries on the vibe of bands like Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, KISS and Deep Purple. The major part of the lyrics, all written by B.J Laneby, reflects on the rollercoaster ride called life. A couple of rough recordings were sent out to some contacts in the business and very soon there were offers on the table. In May 2015, the band decided to go with Metal Heaven and MAJOR INSTINCT signed a deal with them for Europe.

With a deal and a budget in place, July 2015 was spent in the Rabbit Hole Studios in Gothenburg Sweden. Guitarist Magnus Mild was the engineer, Victor Olsson took care of the mix and Martin Kronlund of JM Studio mastered the album.

“High Five”, a straight catchy rock´n roll song with a positive message was chosen as the first single and a video clip: "We can do it together!" Be it the team, the band or the couple. The release date for both was on September 30^th, 2015. The video for this track was directed by the video producer & photographer, the talented Mr Alex Kristoffersson.

“Roots & Wings” is the name of the album which finally will see the light of day on AOR Heaven on November 27^th, 2015. On the same day the band will make their first live appearance at the launch party/release at Musikens Hus, in Gothenburg Sweden.
