live album

Thomas Libero’s new album “Songs From the Lockdown II Live” is scheduled for a digital release on all major streaming & download platforms on November 12th, 2021, via Libero Corp.

Berlin-based progressive metal act The Ocean present an unusual live album. One that is a testimony of strange times: their “Phanerozoic” concept album performed live in its entirety at a time when no shows were happening anywhere in the World.

Sometimes the seemingly most surprising idea can also be the most obvious: German-Italian melodic metal act The Unity, consisting of Gamma Ray members Henjo Richter (guitar), Michael Ehré (drums) and bandmates Gianbattista Manenti (vocals), Stef (guitar), Jogi Sweers (bass) and Sascha Onnen (keyboards) are set to release their first live album “The Devil You Know - Live” on November 12th, 2021, via Steamhammer/SPV, their very own reaction to the lockdown, which has still not been fully lifted.

In the 1970s Vardis’ relentless touring of the working mens clubs of Northern England took them to support slots with Hawkwind, Slade, Motörhead and Saxon, emerging with a reputation for a unique heavy rock attack and high energy technical brilliance.

At the peak of the pandemic lockdown last year, Behemoth set the world on fire when they took over an abandoned church in rural Poland, bringing their truly spectacular production for a worldwide streaming event, which was lauded by rock media as one of the very best livestream events to date.

On October 22nd, 2021, Armored Saint will release a new CD/DVD, “Symbol of Salvation Live”, via Metal Blade Records, to celebrate the seminal album’s 30th anniversary.

For a first preview of “Symbol of Salvation Live”, a live video for the title track can be viewed below.

Pre-order the CD/DVD, here, in the following formats:

• digipak-CD/DVD

Doro Pesch of Warlock has revealed the album artwork as well as the track list for her upcoming live masterpiece “Triumph and Agony Live”, which will be released on September 24th, 2021.

The artwork centres on Geoffrey Gillespie’s famous original drawing of the “Warlock” embracing the blonde rock star. 

Germany’s hottest and most entertaining medieval folk rockers, Feuerschwanz, have prevailed against pandemic paralysis and are set to release two recent virtual live highlights under the banner “Die letzte Schlacht” (engl. The Final Battle), via BluRay/DVD/CD on August 6th, 2021, via Napalm Records.

The bundled live offering, including extras like a special Feuerschwanz-branded game of “Bingo” and a tour diary, will be available in limited Wooden Box, Mediabook, LP Gatefold and digital formats.

From the release of the first self-titled album in 2013, Rakta has lived quite a vertiginous rise. In a particularly rare way for a band from the do-it-yourself scene of São Paulo, the band has aroused immediate international attention.

Legendary German thrash metal powerhouse Destruction cements its signing with Napalm Records by smashing an all devastating, neck-breaking “Live Attack” onto the masses! The BluRay/CD live event, including some pre- and after-show bonus content, will be released on August 13th, 2021.

It follows their latest record, “Born to Perish” (#26 GER album charts), recalling a nearly two hour live stream attack the heavy steamroller unleashed in January this year.
