SUBSTRATUM Stratosphere CD DIVE167 Available 3/23/2018 https://tribunalrecords.bandcamp.com/album/stratosphere OVERVIEW:
Seattle, WA's traditional metal warriors SUBSTRATUM have amassed an impressive discography since forming in December of 2013. The onslaught began with a three-song demo in the summer of 2016, followed by a self-titled debut album on Swords & Chains Records. The spring of 2017 saw the release of the three-song Rough Rider demo—a split 10" with Skelator on its heels that summer. Around that same time, both of the group's demos were picked up by Divebomb Records for inclusion on Vol. 4 of their burgeoning Masters of Metal compilation series, which brings us to the present... Making the most of minor delays in the release of their scorching sophomore full-length, Permission to Rock, SUBSTRATUM's current lineup of vocalist Amy Lee Carlson, Jonny Haynes and Max Nazaryan on guitars, Matthew Vogan on bass, and drummer Eric Smith wasted no time in immediately unleashing a brand new release entitlted, Stratosphere. The six-song, 35-minute CD—featuring a cover song originally performed by NWOBHM obscurities Satanic Rites—will see the light through Divebomb Records in March, complete with an eight-page booklet featuring cover art by Starhammer Industries. With the fist-raising dual-guitar acrobatics and attitude of true metal legends fused with the hard-charging aggression of thrash—sure to elicit headbanging support from fans of Bullet, Chastain, Hellion, and Zed Yago, among others—SUBSTRATUM is primed to prove to the dedicated legions once again that classic heavy metal lives on! FOR FANS OF: CHASTAIN, BULLET, ZED YAGO & HELLION TRACK LIST: 1. Night Sweats 2. To Tame The Burning Blade 3. Sun Rider 4. Cast My Spell 5. Deadly Will 6. Lost Shores

BUGZY Center Of Attraction CD DIVE161 Available 3/23/2018 EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW TRACK AT WIMPSANDPOSERS.COM http://www.wimpsandposers.com/exclusive-new-audio-from-upcoming-bugzy-collections/ BOOTCAMP SERIES #38 DECLASSIFIED INFORMATION: BUGZY's roots date back to late-1983, when 19-year-old guitarist/vocalist William "Bugsy" Boyer, keyboard player Franki Gorgo, and drummer Bob Kimmel crossed paths as members of a full-time, internationally touring cover band called Pentagon. By 1985, Bob and Franki had struck out to create their own original material, and Bugsy—initially still a member of Pentagon—would join their sessions as his schedule allowed. By 1988, the three had officially joined forces and fleshed out a lineup to begin performing live—"BUGZY" being the simple result of needing a name for their first gig Within a year, a short-lived production deal with producer Tony Bongiovi led the group to record a few tracks in NYC's historic Power Station studio; and in 1990, a production/management deal with L.A. record producer John Ryan (Santana, etc.) resulted in three years of nonstop work on new material with assorted session musicians. Into the mid-'90s, with the help of hit record producer Chris Lord-Alge, BUGZY was courted by no less than three major labels—RCA, Polygram, and EMI—but the trio's decade of hard work would shockingly fail to yield the release of one single piece of music until the summer of 2017, when Divebomb Records finally rescued 17 songs for BUGZY's debut CD: Plan B. The hard-hitting and rock-based Plan B made its mark and sold well—well enough, in fact, that Divebomb Records has decided to delve further into the BUGZY catalog to release two more CDs. This particular collection, Center of Attraction, contains 18 more diverse songs from the BUGZY backlog—culled mostly from very early material on into the band's middle period of songwriting. Sure to delight listeners of rock royalty such as Bad English, Night Ranger, and Survivor, the collection also boasts a 12-page booklet featuring band-penned liner notes and archival ephemera. For the fans, by the fans!
