http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Starship

Jefferson Starship is an American rock band that was popular in the 1970s and 1980s. Although its origins are complex, it is generally regarded as a spinoff from Jefferson Airplane and evolved from a 1970 science fiction-themed concept album by then-Airplane member Paul Kantner entitled Blows Against the Empire.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Human_League

The Human League are an English electronic music band formed in Sheffield, England in 1977. They achieved popularity after a key change in line-up in the early 1980s and have continued recording and performing with moderate commercial success throughout the 1980s up to the present day.

The only constant band member since 1977 is vocalist and songwriter Philip Oakey. Originally an avant-garde all-male synthesizer-based group, they evolved into a commercially successful synthpop outfit under Oakey's leadership. Since 1987, the band has essentially been a trio of Oakey and long-serving female vocalists Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley (who joined the band in 1980), with various sidemen. The Human League has influenced many electro-pop, other synthpop, and mainstream acts including Madonna, Moby,[1] Pet Shop Boys[2] and Little Boots.[3] They have been sampled and covered by various artists including Utah Saints, Ministry of Sound, Craig David, George Michael, KMFDM, and Robbie Williams.[4]

Since 1978, The Human League have released nine studio albums, 26 singles (including eight UK Top 10 singles with two #1 singles in the U.S./UK) and played over 350 live concerts. The band have sold more than 20 million records worldwide.[citation needed]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page


Soul Asylum is an American alternative rock band that formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1983.[1]

The band originally formed in 1981 under the name Loud Fast Rules, with the original line-up consisting of Dan Murphy, Dave Pirner, Karl Mueller and Pat Morley. The last was replaced by Grant Young in 1984. The band recorded three albums with Twin/Tone Records and two with A&M Records to little commercial success. However, in 1992, they released the double-platinum album Grave Dancers Union, featuring their Grammy Award-winning single "Runaway Train". The band played the Bill Clinton inauguration early the next year. They also scored a platinum record with the album Let Your Dim Light Shine three years later, but it was the last hit album of the band's career. Mueller was diagnosed with cancer in 2004, causing the band to organize a benefit concert on his behalf. Mueller died a year later.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_Seconds_to_Mars

30 Seconds to Mars is an American rock band from Los Angeles, formed in 1998. The band features actor Jared Leto as vocalist, rhythm guitarist and songwriter.
Founded in 1998 by Jared Leto's brother Shannon Leto, 30 Seconds to Mars began as a small family project. Matt Wachter later joined the band as bassist and keyboard player. After working with a number of guitarists (as the band's first two guitarists, Kevin Drake and Solon Bixler, left the band due to issues primarily related to touring), the three auditioned Tomo Miličević to round out the band's roster.
Even though Jared Leto is a Hollywood actor, he prefers not to use this position to promote the band; in fact, he refuses to play at venues if they have used his name to promote the band.

Current Members...
Jared Leto – lead vocals, rhythm guitar.
Shannon Leto – drums, percussion.
Tomo Miličević – lead guitar, violin, keyboards.

I have been into Metal for a very short time compared to most of the avid metal fans I've met, barely a year. I got into it myself, without influence from my parents or friends... this lack of influence from peers made it inevitable that I'd listen to preeminent loved/hated Death metal.

The first group I listened to was Norther, the beloved Melo-happy Finnish Death Metal group of whom some critics considered the perfecter of the music that bands like Children Of Bodom had formerly presided over.

In that time, I have listened to many other such impressive groups, Kalmah, DevilDriver, Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, Amorphis; but what stood out about Massive Slavery, aside from impressive bombastic music that appears to change tempo on a dime in such songs as "Destroy, Rebuild, Repeat", were MS' choice topics, humanistic titles and lyrics, which is, as New Review put it, "extremely refreshing in a scene filled with watered-down “badass” or “dark” lyrics."

The New Review's critique of Massive Slavery's debut album, "Global Enslavement".

"Before reading this review, take a second and search “Rouyn-Noranda QC” on Google Maps. This is the town Massive Slavery are from. It is an 8-hour drive North into the Quebec wilderness from Montreal. I’m pointing this out because the scene in Rouyn is thriving even though bands born there must travel five to eight hours minimum to get to the next population center. This is a plight many Canadian bands face and it is a testament to their tenacity and their drive to create.
On to the album! Massive Slavery deliver a refined version of melodic death metal on steroids that grips you like a vice and beats you into submission. The style is extremely straightforward, but offers up both unrelenting brutality and purely catchy tunes in a way that will make any metal militant stand to attention. The closest comparison to be made would be with Montreal’s Neuraxis, although with less prog and more death metal.

The production on Global Enslavement is absolutely huge. At the helm was Yannick St-Amand, the mastermind behind the aural assault on albums by Beneath the Massacre,Despised Icon, and many more. Needless to say, everything is in place and hits home like an eighteen-wheeler colliding with a moose. (There you go, another Northern Canada reference).

Massive Slavery take the political route with their lyrical topics. “Pull the Plug on Modern Civilization” and “The Denial of Man’s Regression” in particular need no explanation. The album cover, with references to television, violence, religion, the financial system and labor, give the impression that this band is in it for more than just good times. They have something to say, and that is extremely refreshing in a scene filled with watered-down “badass” or “dark” lyrics.

Aside from a few choice breakdowns, the band’s style generally remains melo-death-squared done to near perfection. If you’re into that and have an interest in the political message, do not hesitate to check out Global Enslavement."

Massive Slavery Bio.



The debut album from Canadian death metallers MASSIVE SLAVERY is Global Enslavement and was produced by Yannick St-Amand, who is responsible for producing such acts as Despised Icon, Beneath The Massacre, and Neuraxis. The album was recorded at Northern Studio, Northern Quebec in January, and was mixed and mastered by Pierre Rémillard (Anvil, Kataklysm, Misery Index) at Wild Studio, north of Montreal in February.

"Global Enslavement” will be released on July 26th, through Maple Metal Records, the label launched by John Belrose, producer of Exciter’s “Heavy Metal Maniac”.

MASSIVE SLAVERY hail from the towns of Val d'Or and Rouyn-Noranda, the gold-mining district in Northern Quebec.
The province of Quebec, Canada has traditionally been a hot bed for great metal talent and now MASSIVE SLAVERY can be added to that illustrious list.

Born from a concept conceived by bassist Marc-André Barrette (ex-Paroxysm) and guitarist Joël St-Amant (Descend into Nothingness), Massive Slavery was officially created in the winter of 2009.

Having previously worked with Joel in "Descend into Nothingness", drummer Pierre-Alexandre Mercier (Decrepity) did not hesitate to join the crew. Even if the band were still looking for a frontman, they began to write and work on fresh material.

After a couple of months of hunting around, their search was finally over when vocalist Jonathan St-Pierre landed the role, to round out this new quartet.
His addition to the band gave new dynamics, and a boost of energy to push the band into finalizing the writing of their first album.

The collaboration of this musical assault GLOBAL ENSLAVEMENT, combines a mix of melodic, brutal and technical death metal.

“In these dark times when the future of humanity seems to be put in danger by individualistic and corrupt leaders, four musicians from Canada work on a musical plan aiming to reach the ranks of opposition, already well established in the middle of extreme metal.
Like a wakeup call, their goal is to alert and open the eyes of our society, to reveal the sad and brutal reality, often unseen or denied by man. It’s under this shadow of complete disillusion towards our civilization that MASSIVE SLAVERY emerge from collective ignorance, in order to defend and promote an engaged movement of resistance, fighting against the manipulators of our system.”

A review by Bravewords.com.



Reviewed by : Jason Deaville
Rating : 8.5


The crux of exceptional musical composition is making compromises without being compromised. Making sensible concessions without forfeiting one's creative vision or standing. Not an easy feat when your genre of choice has seen twenty-five years of tremolo picking, progressive sweeping, distortion, shredding, down-tuning, double bass thumping, blast beats, breakdowns, grunting, pig-squealing, shrieking, brutality, and, more often than not, repetitiveness. It could be argued that death metal has completely stagnated, a genre whose writing has been on the proverbial wall for quite some time. It is truly an exercise in personal equanimity when label after label tout their newest signing as "the next big thing" or "like nothing you've ever heard before". Yet, on the rarest of occasions, these oft misused descriptors prove themselves to be true. Such is the case with Quebec's Massive Slavery and their debut album, Global Enslavement. Produced, realized and recorded by Yannick St-Amand (Despised Icon, Neuraxis), the album combines a refreshingly unique mix of melodic, brutal and technical death metal. Songs such as 'Wider We Open Our Eyes' and 'Humanity's Last Hope' utilize hooks à la Kataklysm and In Flames, yet infused with the technically minded structures of Dying Fetus and Beneath The Massacre. Global Enslavement is an album that delivers a quintessential death metal experience, while demonstrating a level of faith in the intelligence and taste of its intended audience that's become all but nonexistent in this genre of cliches and stilted linearity. Bravo.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensiferum

Ensiferum is a Finnish folk metal band from Helsinki. The members of the band label themselves as "heroic folk metal." Since their formation, Ensiferum has released four full-length albums, one EP, one compilation, three singles, and three demo albums.

Ensiferum's music mostly consists of harsh vocals often mixed with clean vocals for choruses and bridges. Metal and folk melodies are played on lead guitar or keyboard, overlaying heavier traditional heavy metal backing rhythms such as the classic gallop rhythm. The band also include fairly frequent use of acoustic guitars, usually at the beginnings of songs. The lyrical themes of their music most often relate to fantastical, archaic, or historic stories, usually with heroic sentiment.

Petri Lindroos – harsh vocals, guitars.
Markus Toivonen – guitars, clean & backing vocals.
Sami Hinkka – bass, clean & backing vocals.
Janne Parviainen – drums.
Emmi Silvennoinen – keyboards, backing vocals.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_Undead

Formation (2005–07)
The band originated in 2005 from a song titled "The Kids" that Jorel Decker (J-Dog) and former member Aron Erlichman (Deuce) posted on the band's MySpace profile to positive reviews, leading them to form the group Hollywood Undead with their friends "Shady" Jeff Philips, George Ragan (Johnny 3 Tears), Jordon Terrell (Charlie Scene), Dylan Alvarez (Funny Man), and Matthew St. Claire (Da Kurlzz). In an interview with Shave magazine, J-Dog explained that when forming the band "Whoever was in the room at the time and played an instrument was in the band."
Swan Songs, Desperate Measures, and record deal (2007–09)
The band only took one year working on their debut album, Swan Songs. The other two years were spent looking for a company that wouldn't try to censor the album. They first signed a record contract with MySpace Records in 2005 but they left the label after the label tried to censor their first album. They then signed a contract with A&M/Octone Records and their first album, Swan Songs was released on September 2, 2008 and reached #22 on the Billboard 200 in its first week of release, selling 21,000 copies; which was later on released in the United Kingdom on May 18, 2009 with two bonus tracks. On June 23, 2009, Hollywood Undead released Swan Songs B-Sides EP through iTunes.
The band released a CD/DVD set entitled Desperate Measures on November 10, 2009. The set includes a CD of previously unreleased six new songs, three of which being cover songs, as well a previously unreleased remix of "Everywhere I Go", and six live recordings of songs from Swan Songs, and a DVD of a full live performance by the band.
Second studio album (2009–present)
Recently, the band has been writing material for their 2nd studio album. On April 1 2010, the band started its own iheartradio station, with horror and thriller tales. In recent interviews, the band has stated intentions to record their second album in summer 2010 and release it in the fall. James Diener, head of the band's record label, confirmed the next album for a fall 2010 release and believes that it will launch the band into more mainstream success, making it a "big next step" for the group. The band has also confirmed that producer Don Gilmore, who also worked on their debut album, has returned to produce the new album.
Featured in media

The song "Undead" is featured in the video games Madden NFL 09 and UFC 2009 Undisputed. The song "Young" is featured as downloadable content for Rock Band 2.

SUN Project was the first and original PsyTrance act who consequently started the concept of combining Rock/Metal influences with Psychadelic Trance productions back in 1995. Since those days this guys don..t go on stage without electric guitars and drums, beside the more typical computerized equipment. Today you can find some more other acts in this scene who started to use this concept for themselves later. S.U.N. Project is one of the few acts which have kept their name alive in the PsyTrance scene over 12 years now!

They released 10 albums on different record labels. These albums are unfortunately sold out completely..But now they are ready for download on I-Tunes and other download portals !

Their insane Live shows, comprising of one heavy metal guitar player who likes to burn his guitar on stage, one drummer and one digital noise maker/mixmaster as well as a few aliens can be seen all over the world and S.U.N. Project is one of the leading acts the Scene has to offer.

The three producers, based in Hamburg, Germany, have always taken their music to new extremes and mixed banging psychedelic Trance with catchy heavy metal riffs, serving up a dish which is second to none and certainly ready to shake the world of Goa Trance.

By the way...If you are interested you can find many SUN Project Videos (good ones and bad ones) at http://www.Youtube.com
