-Cliff Burton(Metallica) Documentary-
This year I had the pleasure of co-producing The Salvation Kingdom outreach documentary with Connie Burton. Connie is the older sister of Cliff Burton; Metallica's iconic bass player who tragically died on tour with them in 1986.
In this 94 minute movie, Connie shares many previously unreleased stories about her legendary brother. And, she also shares of her Christian faith and Spirit led strength in coping with his death and overcoming personal substance abuse, incarceration, etc.
Praise God that the documentary has already had some grassroots level success in that it has 62,000+ YouTube visits at this time. The hook (if you will) is that Metallica fans are very hungry for any and all band information they can get on the web, and they are especially interested in info about Cliff Burton as he died age age 24 (in the pre cell phone/internet era) and therefore his footage, interviews, quotes, etc. are very limited.
The Youtube comments section was getting kind of out of hand, so I unfortunately had to turn it off. But, before I did, this comment was posted that really blessed my heart:
"this [documentary] definitely opened my eyes, [I am] not a Christian but want to believe and change so badly. life has not turned out how I expected, ive found myself in a very bad place and im trying to change. I thought you had a great message and a very entertaining video. I just dont understand the need for people to complain about the religious aspect, its right in the title. anyways, thank you for this and I wish you all well."
There are literally millions of Metallica fans out there around the globe, and, I think most of them would want to see The Salvation Kingdom movie if they were simply to be made aware of its existence.
'Til the nets are full,
Simon J. Woodstock
Brief text/teaser:
Who was Cliff Burton? What was he like as a child? What were some of his hobbies? Did he have any eccentric habits / behaviors? How often would he practice music? What were his beliefs about God, the spiritual realm, and the devil? How did he feel about satanism? What were some of the unknown influences on his music/lyrics? What did Cliff's sister talk to him about shortly before his death? Would Metallica have been the same had he never joined the band? These questions and many, many more are answered in The Salvation Kingdom, starring Cliff's big sister, Connie Burton.

ark sky has released a full-length album with the addition of some live tracks from their 2012 release - 'Initium'.
Dark Sky has also released a live video that can be purchased.
The lyrics on this release are a mixed bag of christian oriented lyrics along with songs about love, friends, our children, marriage, and chasing dreams.
Founded as a school band in Rottweil/Germany in the early 80ies, DARK SKY was on the international map in the mid 90ies for the first time with the debut album „Believe It“, which had big success in Asia, especially in Malaysia. 2002 was the release of the second album „Edge Of Time“, which brought them on the map in their home country as well. It was followed by „Living & Dying“ and „Empty Faces“, which showed the band from their harder side without losing their trademark melodies.
In 2012 they released „Initium“, a concept album, also produced (like the previous two) from producer Markus Teske (SYMPHONY X, VANDEN PLAS).
Due personal circumstances DARK SKY were not able to tour with this album, but they played a few shows here and there. One of it was as a support in their hometown for the Swedish Superstars EUROPE. This show was filmed and recorded for the first live CD and DVD. The DVD only contains the show, while the CDs is extended with 6 great new studio tracks. One of it is a cover version of the Pia Zadora classic „When the Rain Begins To Fall“
DARK SKY are better than ever and ready to hit the stage again. A tour as Special Guests for Swedish Melodic Rockers TREAT for November 2018 is booked already!

Chaotic Resemblance bangs their way through some struggles that we all deal with on some level. The band ferociously attacks the false perceptions with relentless and thrashing riffs - all without losing their comedic side. The perceived reality and what we are really experiencing are often vastly different. Through the power of the cross and the help of the Holy Spirit we are able to overcome those struggles.

Cover your face - try to shield your eyes

The littered broken stone of those who came before
Who tried but failed – and lost the war
Who came to conquer – but her weapon ignored
Medusa…
She will turn you into stone
But a stronger one sits on the throne
You need only to be still
Trials come and trials go
He will fight your battle foe
Gazing at Medusa
Stare into her eyes – you’re free
Free for all eternity
Gazing at Medusa
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me
When my back’s against the wall
He will make sure I don’t fall
Victory is ours to grasp
So go ahead and gaze
Stare into her eyes ablaze

"Trenches of Rock"...
has been awarded BEST PICTURE at the Hollywood Independent Filmmaker Awards and Festival!
This full-length documentary chronicles the 30-year history of the 'Christian Metal' band BLOODGOOD, who was targeted not only by a mainstream music industry that found their blatant use of faith-based lyrics unfitting with heavy metal, but also by religious extremists who believed their music was the work of the devil - confronted by death threats, picketers and protests throughout their career.
The film marks the directorial debut of filmmaker Paul Michael Bloodgood. Executive produced by Oscar and Grammy winner James Moll (Foo Fighters: Back and Forth).

Hi Everybody! Sorry for the lack of posting but we've had a lot going on. So first off we would like to announce that we have officially changed the band name to better fit the musical direction of the band. The official name is DENY THE FALLEN.. We are very excited about the record which is really beginning to take shape and sounds FANTASTIC!! And also... To go along with the band name announcement we are releasing the video for our debut single MURDER MACHINE!! This video is not for the faint of heart and shouldn't be viewed by children.. It is a very graphic depiction of the abortion crisis in America. PLEASE help us out promoting the video and SHARE_SHARE_SHARE!! Like share every day! Help us share this message and maybe save some lives with this hard hitting video! We are so thrilled that the world finally gets to hear what DENY THE FALLEN sounds like! We'd love your feedback and support.. God Bless! DTF

Essence Of Sorrow Part 1 and Part 2
ERIC CLAYTON AND THE NINE:
‘Five Dutchies and the return of a legend’
an introduction
- LONG READ -
Five years ago Eric Clayton’s life was in turmoil. What’s new, right? Ever since he formed Saviour Machine in 1989, in sunny California, with his brother Jeff, it seems much of his artistic career and his private life has been cursed rather than blessed. The stories about banishment, mismanagement and business relationships gone sour are legion. The man even felt the need to write a book about it cause it was impossible to explain everything anymore in an interview. And yes. There’s also the stories about some album that remains unfinished.
But this time it was serious. In 2004 Eric got diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus, a condition that got worse over the course of some years.
By now we are all familiar with the American healthcare system. You’re not insured, there is no money, we’re gonna pump you full of pills. All kinds of them. The ones that make you feel numb, afraid of everything, weary of contact with anyone. The ones that make you feel dead inside.
This is not a state in which an artist can create. Especially not when you’re dealing with the end of the world every day. Slowly but surely, both Eric’s musical career and his social life burned out. Saviour Machine was dead, his marriage fell apart. With little more on board then some clothes and a baseballbat, Eric Clayton retreated to a trailer in the middle of the Utah dessert, determined not to be found by anyone.
It took a number of years until Eric’s life took a turn, as he found a medicine that turned out beneficial to both his physical and his mental wellbeing. Shortly thereafter came an unexpected invitation to come over to the Netherlands to perform in a series of elaborate, top-cast live performances of The Theatre Equation; the lovechild of Dutch prog-maestro Ayreon whith whom Eric had already done studiowork in 2004, on the highly praised rockopera The Human Equation.
As he had basically said farewell to the music industry, it took some persuasion from the Ayreon camp. But eventually Eric went for it. Thinking this was a good opportunity to make a little money and show his then recently graduated daughter a bit of Europe. But what eventually happened, over the course of two weeks in 2015, was something much greater. Not only did Eric find out, much to his own surprise, he enjoyed delving deep into putting on a grand scale production, singing and playing with people, getting back on a stage to perform every night, proved there was still a little bit of that old beast inside him.
The death of David Bowie, who had always been Eric’s greatest source of inspiration, in January the following year, urged him to pay musical tribute. Reconnected with his brother Jeff, the founding fathers of Saviour Machine set out to see if they still found solace in creating music together. And behold. Instead of doing one song, the collaboration evolved into the Bowie/Decade project for which, over the course of a whole year, they released a Bowie cover every month. The spark that came from this endeavor reached further then the two brothers. By the time they got to working on the third track in the series, all the other members of Saviour Machine had reached out wanting to take part. Creative juices started to flow and by the end of the Bowie-project everyone was eager to start work on new material.
But something else had happened during that faithfull time in the Netherlands. Eric found love. A love that eventually proved so strong, the vocalist decided to permanently relocate to Europe in the summer of 2017.
Inevitably, it dawned on Eric Clayton that there was just one thing missing to make his new, happier life complete: a band to go out on stage with.
Yes, through the wonders of modern technology, Saviour Machine is very much working on a new studio album, to be released whenever it is done. But due to a whole series of circumstances, for now, it is impossible for Saviour Machine to go on the road.
Determined not to let his new found inspiration and eagerness slip, Eric reached out to a couple of close Dutch friends with a simple mission: to go out, rock out and have some fun.
And here we are. Eric Clayton and the Nine are about to embark on a tour that will start on November 3 in the Netherlands and will eventually take them to various festivals and clubs all over Europe. Get ready for a set that’s stuffed with Saviour Machine classics that in many cases haven’t been performed live, by a rockband, in over twenty years, a selection from the Bowie/Decade project and tributes to some other musical heroes.
Eric Clayton is back on stage. Who knows where this will lead.

Affector news: previously unreleased track Maranatha released on iTunes!
Yes we are still here ;) Daniel and I are slowly writing and planning towards a new Affector album. We want to record a new album, with a new touch to the Affector sound. We want to work with a bunch of great musicians to make this album.
But we don’t have a record company anymore to release our new music, so we will do it all ourselves.
For us to be able to make a new album, we need to pay for the musicians, recording, mixing and mastering of the album, as well as design, marketing etc. Unfortunately we haven't earned any money from the sales of our previous album (it all went into the cost of making and marketing the album), so we have no budget for a new album.
But we get a lot of requests for a new album. And that is why we need YOUR help. The first part of our crowdfunding starts TODAY!
We recently released the track Maranatha on iTunes only. A previously unreleased track from the Harmagedon sessions that was never used. It got great performances of Ted Leonard - Official Page, Mike LePond, Alex Argento, Daniel Fries and myself.
Every sale will go into the recording budget for our second album. Do you want to help us with this? Then buy Maranatha for just 99 cents.

Thanks a million and spread the word!

 | From June, 1993 to December, 2015, Luke Easter was the lead vocalist for the band Tourniquet. As part of the band he released ten CDs, four home videos/DVDs, and played numerous shows internationally. This is his first solo project, slated for a late-spring/early summer 2018 release. My name is Luke Easter, and I am a singer and songwriter from the San Francisco Bay Area. I've always loved music, |
especially singing, and I first began singing for an audience in chapel at school as a child. In my late teens I got my first job singing in a local band, and by the age of 22 I was touring the States as the lead vocalist of Tourniquet. Ten CDs, four DVDs, and numerous performances later, I'm finally fulfilling a lifelong goal: releasing a solo project that better represents my musical sensibilities; a more personal project topically and lyrically. Working with my producer, Kris Kanoho (One Groove, NoMasterBacks), and a cool group of very talented friends, I think we've crafted a rock record that builds upon my past accomplishments, but that also firmly establishes me as a solo artist. Up until now, I've given voice to someone else's songs; I've brought to life someone else's musical vision. This new project is the closest I've come to doing something that is truly reflective of me. It's a snapshot of who I am as a singer and songwriter at this point in time, and I can't wait to share with you all.The music is written, the lyrics are written, and the record has been recorded and mixed. The goal all along has been to do as much as possible before looking for outside help, which is where you come in. Releasing music is not an inexpensive undertaking. Having a finished record helps, but there are still things to be done like mastering and replication. These costs quickly add up. Normally in a crowdfunding situation, the artist asks for all the money up front and then records the project, but I've done it a bit differently, specifically by doing all of the recording in advance. Because of this, the risk of the project not being completed is almost nonexistent. In essence, this is less a crowdfunding project than a preorder campaign.
I've put together a number of different packages that hopefully you'll find attractive, and that should work within nearly any budget. All money raised will go toward the completion and release of the record, and toward covering the costs of the campaign rewards/shipping. The plan, depending on successfully raising the necessary funds, is to have the finished product in your hands/inboxes by June. I don't anticipate any delays once the funding goal has been met, but I've learned to never say never. In the event of a delay, I'll make sure you're the first to know.
Finally, in addition to asking for your financial support for this project, I hope you'll help spread the word about this campaign. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, email... help me tell as many people as we can about this project. Help me make this project a reality.
Thanks for your support.

(Waiting on the next up and coming great band )
Johannes Maria Knoll is an Austrian guitar player, composer, author who has worked with hundreds of national and international artists. What would make this 2017 release better? Well, a Vocalist! However there is some sick guitar shredn going on here so if you are in the market for some heavy instrumental work then consider this release by Johannes.

"When Heaven's at Hand"
You're waiting in the blackout
For the band to hit the stage
The moment's finally come for you to vent a little rage
You've bought up all the records
And you've memorized the songs
So take some time to listen
To what's really going on
(Bridge)
I don't need your politics
And I don't need no 666
So reach back in your bag of tricks
And you'll see
(Chorus)
When heaven's at hand
There'll be hell to pay
If evil is your outlet
Then I've got some news for you
'Cause Satan's for the weak of mind
With nothin' better to do
So if inverted crosses
Tend to stimulate your mind
Then I'm afraid your ship has sailed
And left you miles behind
(Bridge)
(Chorus)

In Heaven Lyrics: Eli Prinsen Music: Johnny Bowden and Eli Prinsen Ó2007/2010 Roxx Records As I close my eyes and say goodbye I realize I'm floating high above those by my bed I feel such a peace that the worries of this world that I leave seem never to have existed An angel is my guide as we fly fast towards the light that's approaching at the end of the tunnel It's actually happening my first day of eternity Next stop the pearly gates I can hardly wait (Chorus) To behold this place to see Jesus face There are no words to describe this Thousands of angels sing praise and worship to our king And I cannot wait to join with them In heaven Walking on the streets of gold listening to the stories told ancestors all the way back to Adam First hand accounts of the past, answers to all questions asked and forever to learn No sun needed for light our God is shining bright One days a thousand years no more pain and no more tears (Chorus) In this place we see Jesus face There are no words to describe this Thousands of angels sing praise and worship to our king And here I am singing with them (Solo) (Chorus) In this place we see Jesus face There are no words to describe this Thousands of angels sing praise and worship to our king And here I am singing with them I know we'll meet again I'll be waiting for you when you enter in to the place Jesus prepared for you Can't wait for you to see the things I've just begun to see in heaven
