LYNAM - Half Way To Hell
If you were ever to cross paths with Jacob Bunton, lead singer of Lynam and not know him, one glance at those steel-blue eyes and black spiked hair would send an alert to walk a little bit farther away--but that impression of him couldn’t be anything further from the truth. This southern gentleman says ‘please, thank you, ma’am’ and that AlabamaTED NUGENT - No Ammo Required
Walking into the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas for the SHOT Show was like NAMM for guns! SHOT (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Tradeshow) is where Screamer Magazine caught up with Uncle Ted after an amazing invitation to walk the show with him. Weaving in and out and up and down the aisles, a line has formed at theDELTA DEEP - The Perfect Shade of Blue
They say that every hue mixed together creates the color black. If each song was a tint, then we'd find that its artists, Delta Deep, blend together to create the perfect shade of cobalt blue; which is raw, primal and organically extracted from the Earth. Their perfect combination of rock, rhythm, soul and blues indelibly draws us into a pictureThe Metal Cowboy Rides On
When Ron Keel was in his late teens he packed up his guitar and moved from Texas to Nashville in search of a break in the rough and tumble world of the music industry. Though he was one of a very few rock musicians prowling Music Row in 1980 in leathers and long hair, it didn't take long before heZAKK WYLDE & BLACK LABEL SOCIETY - Catacombs Of The Black Vatican
If anyone would have told Jeffrey Phillip Wielandt that he’d grow up to be revered as one of the great rock n’ roll “Guitar Gods,” one of only three guitarists known to the public as “Ozzy’s axe-men,” have his signature guitar become known as "The Grail"; his infamous bulls eye-painted Gibson Les Paul custom, circle the globe on tour numerousAMERICAN HITMEN - Veterans On An Insane Journey
From the battlefields of Fallujah, Iraq to America’s Got Talent, Utah-based band American Hitmen have had quite a unique journey in the music business. If you haven’t heard of them already, you surely will soon. When have you heard of a band that actually formed in a war zone on the other side of the world, had the opportunity toTHE SPIN - Just Want To Spread The Love
Scandinavia has a natural ability to produce hook-laden rock music and heavy metal. Therefore, it isn’t a real surprise that Screamer Magazine has stumbled across another act from that part of the world that is creating a buzz in melodic rock circles. The Spin started out by announcing their arrival under the guise of Sencelled, and then relatively recently changedVISTA CHINO – Through Disputes, Peace Can Be Found
From the subtle and sombre ashes of Kyuss came a new band called Vista Chino which has turned some heads during the last couple of years. As former vocalist John Garcia, bass player Nick Oliveri and drummer Brant Bjork initially hoped to pay tribute to Kyuss by playing live and sharing the music with hungry fans, things took a darkerJIZZY PEARL - Putting Love/Hate To Bed
Love/Hate rose to fame in the early ‘90s with vocalist Jizzy Pearl at the helm.

Reviews
Even Keel: Life on the Streets of Rock & Roll by Ron Keel
I invite you to take this journey with me, one page at a time. This is a story about a working class kid who became a rock star- an outcast and misfit that grew up trying to figure out the same shit as everybody else: who the hell am I, what’s life all about and what am I gonna doDEEP PURPLE - NOW What?! [Gold Edition]
The progressive nature of Now What's opening track A Simple Song suggests this album is a return to form. Interestingly, both of the first two tracks here make references to time. Perhaps they are aware the sands are running out? This is the British rock legends 19th studio album since offering up Shades of Deep Purple back in 1968. TheEMPERORS AND ELEPHANTS - Devil In The Lake
This debut album from the Chicago-based cruisers is a solid and remarkable surprise. With top quality production values, Devil in the Lake presents one slice after another of modern hard rock. If you’re partial to bands like Shinedown, Seether and Alice in Chains, then you’ll find similarities running through this excellent release. Seeing how other bands of this ilk climbJIZZY PEARL - Crucified
What began as a release from early 90’s band Love/Hate, perhaps best known for their tunes, Blackout in the Red Room and Wasted in America, has, at the final hour, become a solo release by former frontman Jizzy Pearl. Due to the threat of some legal ramifications, Pearl decided to go a slightly different route with the release of Crucified,CHROME DIVISION - Infernal Rock Eternal
Welcome to the world of “Doomsday Rock n’ Roll” according to this Scandinavian juggernaut! This quintet is proud to announce to the globe that they are ready to unleash their fourth studio album, and it packs quite a punch. Guitars are cranked up loud with a smooth edge to their presence as a vocal delivery not too far removed fromTHE VINTAGE CARAVAN - Voyage
You may have browsed a recent issue of Screamer Magazine and stumbled across an article about three young Icelandic individuals who found a sound that they adored. Their influences ranged from a group of bands and artists that roamed around and performed before they were even a hormonal attraction in their respective parent’s biological make-up! So what if that is68-75 - Stay On The Ride
Complete with a confident swagger and a grip on their no-holds-barred rock sound, 68-75 have taken the next step in their evolution with Stay On The Ride. This nine track debut album follows on the footsteps of two extended players that captured a band finding their feet and reveling in their classic rock influences. The production was raw and dirtySUICIDAL ANGELS - Divide and Conquer
Sophocles was one of three ancient Greek tragedians who was known for his development of drama, while reducing the importance of chorus and plot during his plays. This parallel is quite befitting when listening to Suicidal Angel's album Divide and Conquer, who also hail from Greece. While most typical thrash metal bands assault the listener with homogenized albums where everyTHE VANTAGE - This Time Now
Every now and then you come across a band that may not stop the globe from doing something earth shattering like turning on its axis, but your world comes to a grinding halt; you just stop and listen. And for a brief few moments the only sound you hear is that of the song, which really did stop you dead in yourLITA FORD - LIVE at The Whisky 01/09/14
There are concerts, and then there are concerts. The concerts are the ones you talk about for years, when you witness something special that in all likelihood will never be duplicated. Lita Ford’s concert at the Whisky in Hollywood was one of those rare events. The Whisky is holding a series of concerts in commemoration of their 50th anniversary. TheFemme Fatale - LIVE In Las Vegas
Best known for their 80’s live performances, rock sirens Femme Fatale have toured all over the world, but up to this point had never played Las Vegas. That opportunity finally came when they played at Count's Vamp'd. Femme Fatale formed in 1987 in Albuquerque, New Mexico and later moved to Los Angeles to further their career.
