# Emmeciesse Music Publishing and Heart Of Steel Records are very pleased announce the comeback of one of the 80's legendary metal heroes...DARK AGES !

After some year spent in forging the band's sound, they recorded the first album, "Saturnalia" in

After the LP (and cassette version) was published, a hiatus followed, ending in 1996 with a new line

Many musicians changed in those years, and this prevented the band from writing new original material.

In 2008 the members consolidated, so it was time to lay down a new project: a concept named

"Teumman" is a concept album which stems from the tradition of the classic rock operas, but is set in

a long distant past (the characters' names are taken from ancient assyrian culture) and blends metal,

In "Teumman", the term "opera" is taken very seriously: the characters are well defined and so vivid you can feel them suffer, scream, bleed, the locations are an important part of the story, everything is in line with the melodramatic tradition of the nineteenth century. And this is what we call a true Rock Opera.

The CD in stores in May 2011 and at the same time the mp3 files to the best web-stores worldwide!

# Heart Of Steel Records is happy to announce the signing of Power Metal band, SCALA MERCALLI, for their new album, called “Border Wild”.
The style of the band, coming from Fermo–Ascoli Piceno (Italy), and active in the Heavy Metal scene since 1992, is a solid US Power Metal, influenced by names like Megadeth, Iced Earth, Overkill and, of course, Iron Maiden.
“Border Wild” is their second full length album, after the debut “12th Level” of 2005, and it shows a band really tight & powerful, with technical guitar-parts and vocals that have been already described as an “unique mix between Dave Mustaine and Geddy Lee of Rush-fame”.

Release-date: March 13, 2009.

# Heart Of Steel Records is very pleased to announce the release on CD (for the very first time!) of Glam/Street Hard Rockers LAROXX debut-album, originally out, only on cassette, during 1992.
The foursome from Padova, Italy, was back then featuring bass-player Simon Dredo (now with The LoveCrave) and top singer Kelly Grey.
The album was originally recorded for a release in USA and Japan thru a major-label, and a promotional tour in the States (prior of the announced release) was set up, with gigs played at famous “Troubador”, “Foundation Forum” and “F.M. Station” in L.A.
Unfortunately things went bad, as the label supposed to release the album suddenly dropped the offer, so the band found itself with a great (and expensive!) album in its hands without a label ready to release it.
The album has a pure Party-Glam-Street Rock sound, close to US bands like Poison, Pretty Boy Floyd and Motley Crue.
The Cd will come out, as usual, with a de-luxe full colour 16 pages booklet, including pics, memorabilia, full lyrics, and a biography of the band, plus a fully remastered sound from the original master-tapes.
“Laroxx” is due for a release worldwide late spring 2009.

# Heart Of Steel Records is proud to announce the signing of US Metal band MISTRUST for the reissue on CD (for the very first time!) of their debut (and only) album, “Spin The World”, originally out in 1986.

The sound of the album is a powerful US Hard Rock with an US Metal edge, kind a mix of Stryper, early Slaughter and Vicious Rumors.

The Cd will come out, as usual, with a de-luxe full colour 16 pages booklet, including pics, memorabilia, lyrics, flyers, and a biography of the band, plus a fully remastered sound from the original master-tapes with two additional bonus tracks.

# Heart Of Steel Records is excited to announce the signing of Swedish Hard-rockers GRIFFEN for the debut-album, currently in the recording-status.
Griffen has received many great reviews from leading Hard-Rock magazines and webzines worldwide for their two previous demo-recordings.
The band’s line-up includes Tomi Peltonen - Guitars and Kristian Huotari – Drums (both also members of the now reformed TORCH) as well as Stefan Törnblom – Guitars, Jörgen Söderberg - Lead Vox and Harri Tuovila – Bass.
GRIFFEN sound is influenced by some classic names of the genre such as Rainbow, Whitesnake and R.J.Dio, and it’s not too far from the music-offer that artists like Jorn Lande and Jeff Scott Soto brought to the melodic Rock fans during these last years.
As Nicky Baldrian of the world-famous “Fireworks UK” magazine writes: “Overall, Sweden gives us yet another chuncky melodic rock outfit in Griffen, who are not afraid to explore their styles. The debut album I predict will be a monster!”
The release of the CD, not yet titled, is now scheduled for June 2009.

Another jewel of pure unadulterated Power Metal coming from Italy!

# Heart Of Steel Records is very excited to announce the signing a two-albums deal with Arthur Falcone, acclaimed as “one of the BEST guitarists coming out of Italy” by Japanese, U.S. and German press.
His previous musical experiences feature Hard-Rock bands like HALLOWEEN, DEVILS CLAWS, FOXY LADY and LAROXX.
The new cooperation will bring the first fruits with the release of Falcone’s brand new studio-album called “The Genesis Of The Prophecy”.
The album has been recorded with Falcone’s own band STARGAZER and the helping hand of some special-guests like first class-singers Goran Edman (Yngwie Malmsteen, etc) and Titta Tani (DGM, Daemonia, etc), plus well-known musicians like Mystheria on keyboards and Manuel Staropoli (Rhapsody of Fire) on flute.
“The Genesis Of The Prophecy” is a great Melodic Power/Neo-Classic Metal album, with a style that might be described as a mix among early Yngwie Malmsteen’s Rising Force, Symphony X and Stratovarius, and it will contain 11 songs (including 3 instrumentals).
As usual for all of our releases, the Cd will have a full-color 16 pages booklet.
Licenses in countries like Japan, USA and Far East are actually in negotiations.
An official release-date will be set up really soon.

# Heart Of Steel Records proudly announces the signing of Aussie rockers FALLEN SILVER for the release of their debut-album in late January/early February 2009.
The Sydney, Australia-natives five guys play Classic Hard-Rock full of kick-arse riffs, a fat rhythm section and some dirty still very melodic vocals, not too far from the “classics” Ac/Dc, Rose Tattoo and Black Crowes, with the energy of their country-mates Airbourne.
The result is 11 raw & loud Rock bluesy songs that make “Blood In Blue Eyes” one of the most exciting debut albums of these last months!

# HEART OF STEEL RECORDS is very proud to announce the signing of NWOBHM legendary

band BURNER for the release on CD of their very first album in 28 years!!!

The group formed back in 1980 and they released up to now two 7” singles (“Savage Killer”/”Lay Down Your Arms”, and “Hammer Of The Gods”/”Time Is On My Side”/”Old Enough To Know Better”), that will be also included in our CD Version as bonus-tracks!

The album, called “Resurrection”, has been recorded between 2006 and 2008 and it contains songs written in a time-period spanning from 1984 to 2007, but sounding in a pure traditional ‘80s NWOBHM style (with a sound that might recall bands like BLITZKRIEG and DIAMOND HEAD).

The Cd will contain 15 songs (10 songs + the 5 bonus-tracks taken from the above-mentioned singles) for a total running-time of about 65 minutes, and will feature a full colour 16 pages booklet with pics, liner notes, all the lyrics and more.
Release-date : late January 2009.

Their style is very personal, combining powerful riffs and double-bass songs structures, in

the melodic Power Metal style, with catchy vocal harmonies (close to the classic Melodic Hard Rock)

Their lyrics deal basically with the egyptian culture and the history in general.
