GHOST MACHINERY "Arms Of The Strangers" is the second official single from the upcoming new album "Evil Undertow" - official release date: 13th of November 2015

With the Finnish based GHOST MACHINERY we present a new Melodic Hard Rock/Metal band on our sub label Pure Legend Records. Already in 2004 and 2010 they have released two albums. The half of the line-up is also active with the label mates Stargazery.
On the third output „Evil Undertow“ concise keyboards meet up with moony, strong guitar harmonies and a very clear, differentiated sound. Sometimes they exceed the limits to Power Metal in the well-known Stratovarius tradition. But mostly, on 13 tracks Hard Rock influenced by Rainbow, Black Sabbath (Tony Martin era) and Axel Rudi Pell reigns supreme. Also AOR lunatics should give it a listen.

With „Evil Undertow“ GHOST MACHINERY deliver the goods to every hard rockin‘ friend of melodic stuff.

LANFEAR – “The Delusionist” – official single from the upcoming album "The Code Inherited" - official release date: 01st of July 2016 by PURE LEGEND RECORDS 
 
Four years after „This Harmonic Consonance“ the unique LANFEAR come up with their new album „The Code Inherited“. Once again they mix their Metal with lots of power and melody. A monolithic album with an exceptional singer (Nuno Miguel de Barros Fernandes) and sublime songwriting, led by mastermind/guitarist Markus „Ulle“ Ullrich. Outstanding tracks as „Converging Saints“ and „Evidence Based Ignorance“ are in the classical LANFEAR style while the band undoubtedly is also influenced by proggresive and sophisticated genres. Powerful songs as „The Delusionist“ are on an international level and NEVERMORE or COMMUNIC would have loved to present material like that in their harmonic days.

One of the most melodic tracks on the album is „The Opaque Hourglass“. With the piano driven chorus this will surely be a fave amongst the fans. The terrific „Self-Assembled“ starts almost gently until fat guitar riffs blend in and the whole song explodes and becomes very heavy.

As a bonus and just for the fun of it LANFEAR present their very own Bryan Adams song with „Summer of 89“. Sounds like ECLIPSE would play it and the lyrics deal with the times you never experienced, the days before your birth and long before your first f###. Incredible!

THE EMBODIED – “Ravengod” – official single from the upcoming album "Ravengod" - official release date: 15th of July 2016 by PURE LEGEND RECORDS 
 
Back in 2011, THE EMBODIED, from Sweden, released its self-titled debut
album through Pure Legend Records. Now they are back with the brand new title Ravengod.

Here is what the guitarist, Jon Mortensen, had to say regarding this new album:
“THE EMBODIED returns with a second album of fast riffing guitars and
thundering drums. Following the well-received debut album and intensive
touring, the new opus will reveal the band’s potential even more. It’s more of
everything – heavy riffs, melodies and fast-paced drums. These eleven tracks
tell a story only to be found and interpreted by the listener. They express a wide range of influences from all genres of Metal: Power, Death, Heavy and also the Scandinavian Folk music. Stay Metal and be THE EMBODIED!".

LIGHTNING STRIKES  – “Cant Cross The Rainbow” – official single from the album "Lightning Strikes" - official release date: 18th of November 2016 by PURE LEGEND RECORDS

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes! Southern California’s LIGHTNING STRIKES are set to unleash what it is their full-length debut album through PURE LEGEND RECORDS. Originally formed in 1985, LIGHTNING STRIKES were part of the then red hot L.A. metal scene and issued a now highly collectable 7” single, but became a casualty of war when line-up problems beset the band’s first incarnation and let to its early demise.

It would be another quarter century before founding member/drummer Karpis Maksudian decided to pick up the pieces as it were and resurrect the dream. Joined by bassist Cat Tate (SNEW, RED AGAIN), another member of the original LIGHTNING STRIKES line-up, he began working on new material while pulling in a number of A-list players to fulfill his vision. Enter guitarist extraordinaire, Rob Math (LEATHERWOLF, PLAYER) and Brazilian vocalist Nando Fernandes (HANGAR), a recommendation by noted guitarist/producer Roy Z, who became the other two main protagonists in the new LIGHTNING STRIKES. Maksudian also reached out to Derek Sherinian (DREAM THEATER, KISS) to add keyboards and brought in a pair of stellar guest vocalists, Tony Martin of BLACK SABBATH fame, who is heard on ‘Death Valley’ and ‘301 AD Sin of Our Fathers’, as well as Noah, flamboyant frontman for Japanese rockers AVANCHICK, who adds a far Eastern flavor on ‘Kamikaze.’

Mixed by Roy Z (JUDAS PRIEST, BRUCE DICKINSON, HELLOWEEN) and mastered by Maor Appelbaum (HALFORD, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ANVIL), ‘Lightning Strikes’ provides the listener with a formidable old school heavy rock experience, rooted in the vintage sounds of RAINBOW and DEEP PURPLE (the seldom covered ‘Our Lady’ is LIGHTNING STRIKES’ hat tip to the British masters) and classic 80’s power metal with an epic touch as espoused by Martin era BLACK SABBATH.

SADAUK – “Who Is King In Paradise” – official single from the album „A New Dawn“ - official release date: 8th of December 2017 by PURE LEGEND RECORDS

The swedish band SADAUK will be food for the Dark Metal lions!
The heavy vocals from singer Joppe is set in contrast to the smooth melodies which is accompanied by some symphonic voices from Therese.

But SADAUK is not another female fronted symphonic metal band, no. Their sinister metal is like ORPHANED LAND seasoned with flavors from the north and they include some bombastic and epic ingredients like a mixture of MANOWAR and DIMMU BORGIR.

Finally you will be surprised that there are still some interesting bands combining classic metal sounds to a new dimension. So watch out for SADAUK!

LINE-UP:
Joppe Crambert – vocals
Therése Thomsson – female vocals
Daniel Tillberg – bass
Mats Nehl – guitars
Jesper Johansson – guitars, keyboards
Patrik Finnermark – drums

EYNOMIA – “Break Free” – official single from the album „Break free“ - official release date: 26th of January 2018 by PURE LEGEND RECORDS

EYNOMIA is a fantastic band from the USA and "Break free" is probably the best melodic Metal albums in 2017! The musical abilities of the band have a range from FIFTH ANGEL over SYMPHONY X to QUEENSRYCHE. The songs are even more catchy than the ones from the named bands but as powerful and finally the female vocalist Phyllis Rutter is singing on a high-end level!

Coming from Minneapolis besides Phyllis Rutter we have guitarist Chris Bickley (Christine Ohlman Band, Thunderhead), bass-legend Mike LePond (Symphony X, Mike LePond’s Silent Assassins, Heathen's Rage), Jimmy Pitts (Christian Muenzer Band, Fountainhead) on the keys and drummer Gaetano Nicolosi (Ron Keel Band). If you think, in the melodic Metal genre all is said and done, you will be convinced from EYNOMIA that this is definitely not right. Listen to great songs you won't get out of your ears!

"Farewell To The Past" is taken from the actual album "Frozen Time" - release date: November 09, 2012 @ Pure Legend Records - available as CD and digital download
The Swiss power-metal-band PERTNESS is active since 1993 and they have recorded two demos and two studio-albums (both released via Karthago
Records) since then. Especially their debut “Seven Times Eternity” 
(2008) had a lot of positive reviews. We are happy to welcome PERTNESS at Pure Steel Records!
Two years after their second album “From the Beginning to the End” the band presents their next album “Frozen Time”, which features a fat production and lots of innovative ideas. Sometimes the guitars even sound like melodic death-metal, because the sound is rather brutal and powerful. But they still give you the typical power-metal flair. This new CD also offers you harmonic twin-guitars, double-bass drumming and Tom Schluchter’s powerful, rather deep vocals. Some of the songs even contain some folklore-harmonies which are combined very well with the basic power-metal sound (“Cold Wind of Death”, “I Sold my Remorse”, “Lost in Time”). The song “The Star of the County Down” sounds even more like a metallic version of some Irish folk-song.
All fans of innovative and varied metal with traditional influences will be thrilled by this new album!
