It's great to finally see the Hitman Blues Band's first song appear - I've already downloaded it. The only thing it's missing is the keys. It'd be aweoms if you wait to put their other songs up until RBN 2.0 so we can get some keys - the organ is an essential part of these blues songs, and it'd be awesome to be able to learn and play these songs!

A veteran New York blues player, Russell "Hitman" Alexander has performed at clubs and venues ranging from after-hours dives in the Alphabet City section of Manhattan (back when even the police wouldn't get out of their squad cars) and late night bars in Harlem, to the Royal Ball for the Prince of Malta and the Quad centennial Ball for the Prince of Spain.
He has had three successful tours of the U.K. (2004, 2005, and 2006), and one in Europe (summer of 2008), playing at numerous clubs and festivals. This included the Great British R&B Festival at Colne, the Eel Pie Club, The Limelight Theater, the BluesExpress Festival in Luxembourg, and many others.
Hitman says “Over the last twenty five years, I’ve been fortunate to have played with or opposite great musicians, on more stages, and with more great acts than I could ever hope for." This includes Johnny Copeland, Lavette Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, The Coasters, The Ink Spots, and Whitney Houston


Formed in 1986, The Hitman Blues Band played all over the New York metro area before moving on to the UK, Europe, and the rest of the US Eastern Seaboard. While the personnel have changed over the years due to touring demands (except for Russell "Hitman" Alexander), the line-up has always been top notch players with the fire and experience needed to lift up the audience. With four critically acclaimed CDs and extremely successful UK and European tours, The Hitman Blues Band is ready to expand into new markets throughout the US and the rest of the world.

Combining metal with trance and synth, they are viewed by many as an innovative band. Their sound can be described as a mixture of melodic death metal and trance music.

In 2007 the band entered the Radio global unsigned band awards, winning the "Symphonic rock or Metal" category, and selected by Judges to receive the "Supreme Silver" award (4th overall in the contest).[1] The following year the band won the Kerrang!/MCN Unsigned Live competition .[2] In August 2008, Silent Descent were featured in metal and alternative music magazine Metal Hammer who proclaimed them "...the trance metal juggernaught the world has been waiting for." In September 2009 Silent Descent sold out the Camden Underworld along with Alestorm.

The band performed at the Bloodstock Open Air music festival on 17 August 2008[3] and headlined Thursday night's Boardie Takeover at Download festival in 2009[4] and 2010.

Silent Descent have released two examples of new music due to be released officially in mid-2010; Psychotic Euphoric[5] and Bring-In-Sanity[6].

Kataklysm -- Numb and Intoxocated

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrezT42-UQs

[I]

So here we are today with tours in over 19 countries around the world, TV appearances expanding in 11 years of existence of blood & sweat, Kataklysm are back to prove that aging brings experience that make great leaders, Kataklysm are at the top of they're form and have evolved into a powerhouse that will crush all ! A new chapter is born.. a new era in extreme music.. be prepared for Kataklysm's deadly grip!! )

Kataklysm have long been known for their perfectly crafted, intensely catchy and anthemic songs and their pummeling live shows. But on Heaven's Venom, the vitriol and aggression contained takes things to another dimension. Their catchy riffs remain intact and their talent is undeniable, but this is the kind of album that turns casual fans into diehard, bloodthirsty maniacs!

Happy Thanksgiving from ASP

New band in testing from us

Decrepit Birth was formed in 2001 by Matt Sotelo - guitars, Bill Robinson - vocals, and Derek Boyer bass. Originally the intention was to play devastating, brutal, technical death metal, mixed with influences from the early 1990 Florida death metal scene. Since Matt and Derek had at one time both played in Southern California band, DEPRECATED, it was easy for the two of them to begin collaborating on material for the first full length Decrepit Birth album And Time Begins.

Decrepit Birth was able to catch the attention of Nuclear Blast Records, which was a label the band really wanted to work with for years. After negations, they happily signed on with Nuclear Blast in Spring of 2008. The band is currently touring in support of the new album and is also writing new music, which can only be described as an evolved version of what we did on Diminishing Between Worlds.
