Stratovarius are entering a studio in Helsinki, Finland this to commence recording their 12th album. Says the band in an update: "We are keeping you updated with blogs and podcasts and we try to set up the webcam for you by Tuesday (February 27th) so you can see us actually playing in the studio. Blogs and podcasts you will find at www.stratovarius.com. We don't know when this album "R....... R" will come out at this point, but sure thing is that not this year. Of course we will let you know when we know anything concrete. In the meantime Timo Kotipelto (vocals) and Timo Tolkki (guitar) will be quite busy so you won't get bored. See you in the studio hopefully!"
Winger will shoot footage for a live DVD on March 3rd show in Anaheim, CA at the Galaxy Theatre. The band is currently out on the road in the U.S. supporting their comeback album, IV, their first album in 14 years.
Winger's line-up consists of founding members Kip Winger (bass/vocals), Reb Beach (guitar), Rod Morgenstein (drums), new guitarist John Roth (guitars/vocals) and newcomer Cenk Eroglu (keyboards/vocals).
The former frontman for 80's big-hair Philadelphia rockers, Britny Fox, has a new solo album. Dean Davidson, went on to form Black Eyed Susan, then dabbled in post-grunge before dropping out of sight. Drive My Karma is the title of the new CD just released. It is described as a return to a melodic rock style for Davidson.
Ohio-based band Axemaster have inked a deal with Canadian-based Sol Music Management (Dokken, Sebastian Bach, Sepultura, Lizzy Borden). The band now hope to obtain a deal to record a new CD which will feature a special guest appearance by guitarist Ivan Hurd of the classic metal band Anvil.
