POWER PROG is proud to announce the signing the Swedes ARCTIC VOID


ARCTIC VOID signs with POWER PROG.
Details of the upcoming debut album announced and brandnew track
"The Rising" released for streaming

POWER PROG is proud to announce the signing of one of today's hottest newcomer when it comes to modern metal, the Swedes of ARCTIC VOID. The first common goal of this cooperation is the release of their stunning debut album "Entangled" at March 25, 2016 as CD, download card, digital download and as stream.




The history of Gothenburg's ARCTIC VOID has already started a few years ago, however under a different "working title". And already at this early stage and after the first better recordings, Per Stålfors, one of the founding members, entered into close contact with POWER PROG. Label CEO Götz Morgenschweis: "What i heard was really awesome. So I said to Per: Deliever me an entire album of this quality and we will be right there for you!".

Well, it took some time, especially to find the right bandmates to implement this all into practice. But now the wait is over and with a terrific line-up of gifted musicians, the time has come to let the whole thing go through the roof.

What makes this band so special? They come with two main singers (female/male), and especially this vocal duels are constantly a voltage! They combine the typical Gothenburg metal sound style with inimitable melodies and a catchiness that has no equal! And: They do not care about style drawers and delight us with a colorful mix of modern played unique metal. The crucial finishing touches were made through the mixing and mastering by none other than one of the top metal producers in Europe, Fredrik Nordström (At the Gates, Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames, Soilwork, Opeth, Powerwolf ...) who gave the whole thing that special something!. And what else is there to say? ARCTIC VOID is armed and ready and a monster of an album is their most forceful weapon!

EXCLUSIVE Interview with british prog sensation BABYSUN


BABYSUN launched recently the EP titled “One big everything” that contains 6 songs with the influence including Brit Progressive meet Indie alt mood. The digital release is now available on every worldwide webstores, iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Deezer, Google Music, Nokia, Emusic...distribuited by Brit Beat Records
Produced by Vic Bronzini Fulton and Chris McEvoy.
We have talked with the guys about the story of the band, below the interview!

1. Hi guys, tell us when you formed Babysun?
Babysun was formed in 2009

2. Your Ep contains a number of styles, what is the genre of your sound?
We think it’s somewhere in the Alternative genre, maybe Electonic/Ambient Psychedelic Pop...to be honest we’re not really sure, you tell us.

3. What is the source of inspiration for the lyrics? Who writes them?
Vic writes the lyrics and they’re a combination of experiences, observation and personal views on everything from love, to politics.

4. What are the reasons by which you decide to give your band the name "Babysun"?
I liked the idea of something that suggested positivity and hope and that we are all little baby suns with a light to shine. I know, that sounds a bit hippy but hey.


5. Your album will be promoted in international media, what are your expectations?
We are just pleased to have a label who felt the material had a place and that people would like it. We don’t have any major expectations, just hope that the music can reach as many people as possible across the world and that they enjoy it.

6. To promote the record are you planning a live tour?
We would love to do some ‘live’ work as the project has been mainly a studio thing the last few years. Hopefully the EP release can generate enough of a buzz for us to entice a good ‘live’ agent or agents to help us co-ordinate that. So anyone out there who would like to get involved in that please contact us....we are here and ready to go.

7. Have you played in some important festivals?
Yes in the past we have played various festivals in the UK and some smaller events in Europe, we did open the Karel Muse Expo in Cagliari a few years ago too, that was particularly nice to be involved in.

8. I would like to have your own point of view about the poor sales of the CD's, it's causedby the internet? Technological development? or it's changed the mentality of the fans? 
I feel that maybe music isn’t so much of a ‘special’ thing to a lot of young people now as it’s so easily available and instant. Also the trend is for huge playlists of single tracks on personal devices now and not so much about having favourite bands/artists albums and becoming real fans and following that bands career the way I certainly would have done in my younger days...on the other hand the technological developments have given more new artists a platform to expose their music to the world, I believe that is a positive thing.



9. This is your first work for Brit Beat Records, what made you switch to them?
We were excited by the labels enthusiasm for the material and how much they wanted to help us promote the music.

10.Tell us a few funny anecdotes, in the past?
Vic was once quizzed by a rather drunk person at a ‘live’ show ‘How come if musicians were so good at what they did why couldn’t they create another music key like ‘H’ and why hadn’t it been done in all the years? He had no answer.

Steve Saluto presents The Silver Skull Legend


Steve Saluto has given to the music market another rock solid creation from his solo career with "The Silver Skull Legend". The Ep will be available on and only for the digital music market - Jan 10th 2015.

On this Ep, Steve played every instrument following everything from recording to mixing, mastering and production as its a showcase for his new Manne Signature Guitar called "The Silver Skull Legend". Residing in Treviso (Italy), Steve Saluto began playing guitar at the age of fifteen. After taking jazz guitar lessons, he was inspired by the Eddie Van Halen solo in Michael Jackson's "Beat It" to take up playing rock. The guitar whiz has never looked back... The seed was planted and the rest is music history in the making.

In addition to being a talented guitar player and band leader, Steve is an in-demand writer and producer for up-and-coming artists as well as working with legendary musicians alike. As a recording artist, Steve has written and produced 12 solo / band recordings featuring his diverse guitar styles ranging from jazz to rock and playing and recording with musicians such as Buddy Miles, Darryl Jones (Sting/Rolling Stones), Danny Gottlieb (Pat Metheny Group), Jeff Berlin, Doug Wimbish (Living Colours), Brian Tichy (Billy Idol/Foreigner), Richie Kotzen (Poison/Mr Big), Oni Logan (Lynch Mob) just to name a few. And, he also owns a recording studio in San Biagio di Callalta (TV).

"The Silver Skull Legend" feature 4 diverse songs that while the foundations are rock, Saluto isn’t afraid to add colors of R&B, funk and hard-hitting provocative melodic rock too. Starting it off, we have the rousing song "Take Me Home (The Return)" with it's spellbinding lyrics and hypnotic groove. The guitar sounds are bewitching with bawdy guitar riffs, flirtatious hooks and salacious lead solos. "Doing You Again" is a real funky rhythmic number with a touch of R&B stylings. The commanding vibe called "My Wish" is a marching progression full of energizing moments. And at last but not least, we have the velvety smooth "Frozen" with its effortless sound and mesmeric melody. Steve's vocals on this celebrated EP are alluring with his impassioned and provocative story telling lyrics.

"The Silver Skull Legend" is a short but sweet introduction to Steve Saluto’s musical world.

BREAKING CHAIN ex Nwobhm legend LE GRIFFE



NEROCROMO MUSIC and HEART OF STEEL RECORDS are excited to announce the official single of BREAKING CHAIN, outfit Heavy metal band from UK!
The band was founded in Stoke on Trent by Rob Mosely and Paul Ibbs, well known for having played with LE GRIFFE, legendary band of the NWOBHM.

3o Years since the release of the 1st Le Griffe Recordings, and after 2 Failed attempts to re-form the NWOBHM Legendary Band, Paul Ibbs & Rob Moseley Join Forces with Former HeadRush Drummer Tom Bevan - to Deliver a “Powerhouse trio” Intent on Writing New material “taken” from years of Experience in the Music Industry & Life’s Trials & Tribulations in general. 
The “Distinctive” Twin Harmony Guitars Have been Refreshed & Modernised and are about to be Dragged “Screaming for mercy ”, into Modern Day Rock Anthems . 
The Intentions aren’t to be a “Copy” of Le Griffe, but seeing as Rob & Paul were an Integral part of the song writing partnership on the 3 Vinyl Releases in the mid 80’s ( along with the other members of Le Griffe ) then there will Inevitably be a Lot of “Comparison” between Any New material From Breaking Chain & their Former Band .
In Le Griffe’s days, Bands passed Demo’s between Members in Cassette form , But todays Technology advances allow Groups to Record Hi Quality Products which can be shared over the Internet within minuits. Breaking Chain have the Structure , & Now the Skills to do this , as “Drive Studio’s” ( running ProTools 10 ) is the Bands Own
Recording & mixing facility , Run & constantly Updated by the Mad Head Bass Player , where Demo’s of New songs can be recorded & instantly sent to individual Band members.

Breaking Chain were formed in March 2014 , but the story Begins 2 years earlier when a Search through Rob’s Garage Files revealed a Photograph of the 1st Line up of Le Griffe . 
The Black & White picture was scanned, uploaded to Robs Facebook page & a Normal afternoon of family life was begun . Later on that Saturday afternoon Rob Logged back onto facebook , to find Messages about the picture , from All over the world . Fans of Le Griffe from Japan , Brazil , Italy , Portugal got in touch & were asking questions about this Original line up . The extent of
“Interest” in Le Griffe prompted Rob to attempt a reunion , but this was Not to be . A further attempt of a reunion was made by Robs fellow member of No Favors ( Neil Ogden ) , who was playing at that time in NWOBHM band Demon , & also in new Band “Lawless” , as there was an AOR & NWOBHM festival being staged in the Stoke-on-Trent area ,
But Again, This was Not to be .So , out of Disappointment comes a Totally New Band, Full of Passion, Drive & Dedication .
Work started on a track called “Real”, This is a Beginning , This is a Great Start . 
This is EVERYTHING .

Breaking Chain members: 
Paul Ibbs : Guitar
Tom Bevan : Drums
Rob Moseley : Bass Guitar & Vocals

TOTO (L-R) - David Paich (keyboards, vocals) Joseph Williams (lead vocals)
Steve Lukather (guitar, vocals, keyboards) Steve Porcaro (keyboards, synthesizers, vocals)

The new album is a realized vision three plus decades in the making exhibiting world-class musicianship, masterful arrangements, topical lyrical commentary, and melodies that the collective genius of Lukather, Paich, Porcaro, Williams and their assembled band-mates bring to life. TOTO XIV is the band’s first album of new material since 2006’s Falling In Between.  However, the band personally considers the new album to be the true follow-up to TOTO IV, which made the band global superstars.

Keyboardist Steve Porcaro reveals, "This is opposite of going through the motions.  We are treating this like it is Toto V, our follow-up to TOTO IV. We just want to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. Be true to ourselves and make the best music we can.  Entertain people which is what we were put on this Earth for."  Keyboardist David Paich reflects, "I think of TOTO as a unit and a band that carries a responsibility when it goes out there in to the public consciousness. There is so much negativity and darkness that I think you have to be as Quincy Jones puts it, 'beams of light that blast through the darkness'." 

As they began the process of a return the studio, all of the principle long-term members brought their A-game to the table.  Guitarist Steve "Luke" Lukather offers, "When you put us in a room, and everybody brings in their pieces, the next thing you know it all fits together. Everybody's performances are top notch.  We are really bringing our best out, forcing ourselves to make personal best choices, what's best for the music. I'm really excited to hear what people think."  Singer Joseph Williams adds, "We are talking about a band where everybody is a writer, and everybody is a lead singer, and everybody is a player. All involved brought this trio to the table where it could just live on its own." 


Founding bassist David Hungate returns to the fold, about whom Luke simply offers, "No one plays like David Hungate." Drums were performed by Keith Carlock who's commitments to Steely Dan prohibit him from participating in the 2015 World Tour.  Shannon Forest will be behind the kit, who was a part of the band's 2014 North American run. Luke offers, "Shannon is a world class drummer and we are honored to have him back with us."

The sessions were co-produced by CJ Vanston, who Paich looks upon as, "everything a producer is supposed to be and more - a musician’s producer."  Vanston states, "There have never been better musicians on the planet, especially in a band together.  This is an amazing record and I am completely thrilled to be a part of it. This is a dream job for me." 

Porcaro offers an additional thought stating, "I think the band is hit upon a very healthy creative tension for this project.  I'm very excited about it."  For Williams he reflects, "Just imagine being able to stand on stage in front of enormous crowd of people, and you are playing great music with the best musicians in the world, and you look around, and they are some of your best friends in the world.  It's the best feeling any person could have."  For Porcaro he shares, "It is kind of hard to find words of what it means to have a smile on your face to go to work every day and we have the fans to thank for that - so thank you."

The band will hit the ground running with an extensive European headline arena tour with appearances at key festivals. The itinerary begins in Glasgow on May 21, and takes Toto through the UK, France, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Italy, and Belgium. Ticket sales came out of the box with strength, with some appearances selling out within days of on-sale.  A North American tour will follow in the summer of 2015. The band is also in the planning stages for their return to Asia later this year.

The last couple of years have been active, with a seven show sold-out tour of Asia that took them through Nagoya, Osaka, Tokyo, Sendai and Sapporo in April, 2014.  Also that month, the 35th Anniversary Tour - Live In Poland title was released, debuting at #1 in territories across the globe. Last August and September, the band hit the road travelling across North America as co-headliners with Michael McDonald, which when it was all said and done was their most comprehensive tour on the continent in years. 

Historically, few ensembles in the history of recorded music have individually or collectively had a larger imprint on pop culture than the members of TOTO.  As individuals, the band members’ imprint can be heard on an astonishing 5000 albums that together amass a sales history of a HALF A BILLION albums.  Amongst these recordings, NARAS applauded the performances with 225 Grammy nominations. TOTO sold 35 million albums, and today continue to be a worldwide arena draw staging standing room only events across the globe.  They are pop culture, and are one of the few 70s bands that have endured the changing trends and styles, and 35 plus years in to a career enjoy a multi-generational fan base.  It is not an exaggeration to estimate that 95% of the world's population has heard a performance by a member of TOTO. 

Toto also continues to raise awareness for ALS, for their brother and friend, Mike Porcaro, who has been diagnosed with ALS, Lou Gehrig's Disease. The band commits energies towards fundraising for Police and Fire Departments of California and the Fallen Heroes Initiative (http://www.fallenheroes.org/), and help the United Nations in their humanitarian endeavors through music.

ANIMA MUNDI the prog rock from Cuba


The Cuban symphonic prog rock band ANIMA MUNDI came to life in the spring of 1996 due to the union of five friends who studied together to major as teachers of music. The band recorded three demos during these years: “Eterno Cauce” (1997), “Tierra Invisible” (1998) and “Más Allá” (1999). Anima Mundi quickly became an essential name among the alternative Cuban scene after offering the first live shows and appearing on specialized radio broadcastings and by means of a nonstop working, they didn’t take long to become the main progressive rock national band for the surprise and delight of many.

Due to the success achieved in national soil, Anima Mundi began planning its first album in 1999. Two guest musicians showed up when the band was composing the songs for the new record. Both of them played the Galician bagpipes, the Celtic flute and the Tin Whistle. This period was characterized by particularities in the band sonority, very different to what they had been doing, and this new shift continued, later on, as a neo prog symphonic rock with Celtic hints found in the album “Septentrión”, 2001.
In July 2002, Mellow Records from Italy released “Septentrión”. During this year, Anima Mundi had the chance of playing all along the island and giving large and important concerts that increased the band audience to thousands of fans.

In August 2002, Anima Mundi began recording its second album “Jagannath Orbit” which turns the band to its initial sound. Hard years approached marked by difficulties in the album production and leaving of some musicians. Those years were characterized by constant changes in the band line up because of the problem in finding skillful musicians who were prepared to face this music genre. Anima Mundi spent all that time looking for a way to make its album productions totally independent, and participated in few concerts and some national rock festivals, supported by guest musicians on the drums and bass.

After years of work, the band finished the production of its second album, “Jagannath Orbit”, coincident to the arriving and joining of new musicians, in 2007. The album was released in October 2008 by the French label Musea Records. From this moment on, the new recording started being distributed in Europe and the rest of the world. “Jagannath Orbit” had remarkable critics globally. This released marked a favorable turn for the band. 
This same year 2008, Anima Mundi back to the studios for producing its third album called “The Way”. It was released in October 2010 by Musea Record. This album has been the most Anima Mundi successful releasing so far. Well acclaimed world wide “The Way” brings Anima Mundi to the first places of progressive top list 2010.

Is not a secret that Anima Mundi has walked step by step the way to successfully introducing itself among the varied and abundant present day progressive rock scene worldwide. The present line up is shaped by José Manuel Govín on drums, Yarosky Corredera on bass, Carlos Sosa on vocals and the historical leaders and founders Virginia Peraza on keyboards and Roberto Díaz on guitars and vocals. 



Members: Roberto Díaz, Virginia Peraza, Yaroski Corredera, Emmanuel Pirko Farrath, Manuel Govin 
ex-member: Carlos Sosa
