Metaract Announce Worldwide Release Of Debut Single, "CPR (Start Again)"

Metaract is excited to announce the release of their debut single, CPR (Start Again) available worldwide today.

Metaract consists of musicians from established New Zealand rock and metal bands Just One Fix, Static Era (top 10 NZ album), Tadpole (certified double platinum), who have toured with international artists like Disturbed, Korn, Alter Bridge, Megadeth and Evanescence.

CPR (Start Again) combines edge crushing riffs, stomping grooves and hook-laden melodies, paying tribute to all eras of metal. It was recorded and mixed by New Zealand award winning engineer, Dave Rhodes, at Depot Sound Studios and mastered by Sage Audio in the USA.

"CPR (Start Again) is basically about the madness happening in the world. We can either passively watch and do nothing, or actively do something to fix the mistakes of the past," says vocalist Chris Yong.

It is a relevant reminder, especially given world events in recent years.

Metaract is an independent metal band from Auckland, New Zealand with distribution through DRM NZ. CPR (Start Again) is now available through all leading digital music stores and streaming services.

Alessandro Bagagli Announces The Release Of Out In The Nowhere

The last year has been quite a ride for legendary rock band Candlebox. Not only did they come out swinging with the April 2016 release of Disappearing in Airports (Pavement Entertainment), which debuted among the Top 10 of the Top Rock Albums, and netted them the hit single "Vexatious" but they also went on to conquer both the U.S. and Europe with a relentless tour schedule that brought in an entirely new generation of Candlebox fans.

Now, about to embark on the anniversary of their comeback, the band that refuses to slow down has announced that they and Pavement Entertainment have teamed up with Record Store Day 2017 to release Disappearing Live. The first official live Candlebox CD, this seven-song EP was recorded in Long Island, NY from the uber successful Disappearing in Airports tour. And as a special bonus to fans, an exclusive live rendition of the band's multi-platinum hit "Far Behind" has been included.

The EP was recorded and produced by renowned sound engineer Carlos Novais and mixed by Bassist/Engineer/Mixer Adam Kury. Featured on the album are Lead Singer/Guitarist Kevin Martin, Drummer Dave Krusen, who was recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Pearl Jam, Bassist Adam Kury, Lead Guitarist Brian Quinn and Guitarist Island Styles.

In addition to "Far Behind," the EP includes the following tracks:

Vexatious
Supernova
Crazy
I Want It Back
All That We Got
The Bridge

Disappearing Live EP Digi-pack will be available starting April 22 at participating Record Store Day locations. For a list, visit http://www.recordstoreday.com. The EP will then be available on May 22 as a special bundle with a commemorative T-shirt on Pavement Entertainment's web site (http://www.pavementmusic.com) and on all major digital platforms starting in June.

To celebrate the release of Disappearing Live, Candlebox has announced that it will also be releasing its single "Crazy" to Mainstream Rock and Alternative Rock Radio. The follow up to the album's single "Vexatious", Martin describes the track as a song about obsession.

"It's about the position that a lot of people find themselves in at some point in their lives", Martin said. "That place where they want something physical that they necessarily couldn't have but pursue it anyway. It's about that unrelenting desire to always have more than we should."

The release of their new EP and single aren't the only things that will keep Candlebox busy this summer. According to Martin, the band will be performing at some of the largest venues and rock music festivals throughout the U.S.

New Rhythm Del Mundo's EP Reworks When Doves Cry

Artists Project Earth (APE), the charity that campaigns for ocean plastics and climate change awareness is releasing a new EP as a tribute to Prince, covering his worldwide hit, When Doves Cry. The four-track EP featuring APE's Afro-Cuban collective, Rhythms Del Mundo, is available to download from Friday 21st April and features a talented young musician, 16-year-old Jazz Flowers.

American songwriter and producer, and APE founder, Kenny Young produced the EP, the profits of which will go towards APE's Plastic Oceans Campaign and in addition, to Green 4 All; the charity that Prince had secretly contributed to the funding of. "As great admirers of Prince's work we decided to record one of his most famous songs and thought that it would be a fitting tribute to have his favourite environmental charity also benefit from the sales," commented Kenny.

Recorded at Lazy Moon Studios in Oxfordshire, UK, the four-track EP includes three versions of When Doves Cry: a Cuban mix (mixed by Mike McGreal and Kenny Young); a modern African mix (mixed by Mike McGreal and Kenny Young); and a trance EDM mix by ManMadeMan. The fourth track is a new song titled ‘Ocean' which is an Afro Cuba mix, synonymous with the sounds of Rhythms Del Mundo. All the RDM tracks feature Jazz Flowers, an up-and-coming singer from Woodstock, Oxfordshire.

"As a charity we strongly believe in creating a better world through the use of music and arts. So far we have released six albums with our Afro Cuban collective, Rhythms Del Mundo, who have donated all profits to climate change adaptation and mitigation and ocean conservation projects worldwide. Our seventh album, 'Plastic Oceans', is due for release in the summer and features, Ed Sheeran, Bob Dylan, Coldplay, Beyonce, Mumford & Sons among others'" concluded Kenny.

Rhythms Del Mundo is a globally-acclaimed Afro-Cuban collective of musicians who have collaborated with some of the biggest names in music across the world, including Coldplay, Amy Winehouse, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Green Day, The Rolling Stones and many others. Rhythms Del Mundo have released 6 albums selling over 2 million units and many millions of downloads. The sales from the albums have enabled APE to support over 370 climate change and ocean related projects around the world.

MusicDish Review: Rick Denzien Music Video "TSAI"

This original song by recording artist Rick Denzien describes a love story between a boy and a girl in his music video "TSAI". After the boy meets the girl, he quickly falls in love with her, but the girl does not love him back equally, therefore driving him insane. He still loves her anyway. His emotions are reflected through the lyrics like "when I think of you, I try hard not to panic", and "you are a mystery". Denzien's soothing voice has a calming effect although the song depicts a sad romantic story. This song is a perfect representation of a country-style creation with a slight pop touch.

Rick Denzien, President of Slot One Entertainment and co-founder of the All Music Festival. More than 200 songwriters, artists, and bands will be selected to perform at showcase slots during of original music performances and educational workshops on Friday April 21, and Saturday April 22, 2017.

The first annual All Music Festival & Sustainability Conference will kick off on April 21-22, with two afternoons of music business panels, sustainability panels, workshops and clinics, with night time showcases at area restaurants and other venues in historic Ambler, PA, open to the public. The original music of both emerging and established artists, representing many popular genres will be performed on both days of the conference, beginning at 6:30 PM.

Jupiter Grey 'Black Mirrors'

Jupiter Grey looks to turn RnB on its head with his debut single 'Black Mirrors.' The club beats which are omnipresent in modern RnB are absent from this record. Instead listeners are treated to raw, passionate vocals over a beat which uses actual instruments. Jupiter's music does not come from a production line. Rather, it is an authentic expression of his identity as an artist, of his wish to be unique, and of the wide array of influences which have inspired him to create music.

Coming from Jupiter's debut EP 'Wounded Soul' this track offers sonic poetry, giving listeners a chance to understand the singer's emotional contortions as he fought through a difficult period in his life. Everything in this track is authentic. Nothing is exaggerated, nothing is added. 'Black Mirrors' is a genuine expression of Jupiter's feelings, laid bare for the public. Jupiter wants to express exactly who he is through his music. The journey into sound presented by the excellent guitar riff present throughout the song is also a journey into Jupiter's soul. The track was made to not only cross the musical boundaries represented by genre, but also cultural boundaries, as everyone can relate to Jupiter's authentic musical style.

It is never easy differing from the norm. Many artists are unwilling to take risks. However, Jupiter Grey is not many artists. He presents a unique musical version through an excellent track through 'Black Mirrors.' Listeners may be surprised to hear music which may be more closely associated with rock on RnB radio. Yet, they are about to hear Jupiter's music everywhere thanks to this irresistible record. Your favourite radio station will find it incredibly difficult to leave Jupiter's orbit.

Listen to 'Black Mirrors' via Soundcloud and receive a thank you card from your ears - https://soundcloud.com/jupitergreymusic/black-mirror-1-1-ten-eight-seven-mastered/s-wifNj
