Release
Date: 22nd May 2026 FATAL VISION IS: With special guests: Christine Corless, who appears on several tracks in powerful duet performances with Fatal Vision singer Simon Marwood. Produced By Marwood,
Montant, and JK Northrup, Promotions and Marketing by Elio Bordi: Scream For Existence screamforexistence.com Track List: Canadian melodic rock band Fatal Vision return with their brand new studio album Four Sides To Every Story, scheduled for release on May 22, 2026 via Escape Music. The album represents the band’s most ambitious and cinematic work to date, combining powerful Melodic Rock songwriting with a narrative-driven visual concept that has become a hallmark of the band’s recent releases. Building on the momentum of their acclaimed album Three Times Lucky, Fatal Vision continue to expand their artistic vision with a record that explores the emotional complexity of relationships, heartbreak, and redemption. The album title reflects the idea that every story can be seen from different perspectives, an approach that shapes both the musical and visual storytelling behind the project. The record features fourteen songs, each accompanied by its own music video, forming the fourth season of Fatal Vision’s ongoing cinematic video series. Together, the videos tell the continuing story of a young woman’s journey after heartbreak, with the same actors portraying the same characters throughout the saga of love lost and found. Musically, Four Sides To Every Story stays firmly rooted in the timeless melodic rock tradition that defines Fatal Vision, drawing inspiration from classic acts such as Survivor, Bad English, Heart, Van Halen, Journey, and Asia, while also introducing fresh sonic elements. Several songs explore more progressive arrangements, featuring time changes and contrasting sections that expand the band’s musical palette without losing their signature sense of melody and emotional impact. The album features an impressive lineup of guest musicians and collaborators from across the international melodic rock scene, including: Songwriting duties are primarily handled by Simon Marwood and Juan Miguel Gomez Montant, with additional collaborators including Alessandro Del Vecchio, Michael Shotton, and members of Boulevard. For the first time in the band’s history, bassist Andrew Burns and drummer Alex Wickham also contribute as songwriters on two tracks. The album also includes “Turn Around”, Fatal Vision’s first-ever single, which has already surpassed 150,000 streams and now appears on an album for the first time. Production of Four Sides To Every Story was handled by Marwood, Montant, and JK Northrup, with mixing by JK Northrup and legendary producer Ron Nevison, known for his work with artists such as Heart, Survivor, and Europe. Mike Shotton oversaw lead vocal production, while Alessandro Del Vecchio handled backing vocal production, contributing to the album’s rich layered harmonies and powerful vocal arrangements.

Date: 22nd May 2026 Teaze Is: Track listing: Produced by Charlie
Lambrick Guests: TEAZE are from Windsor, Canada. There was something almost un-Canadian about the evangelical fervour that TEAZE displayed. Brian Danter sang ‘til it hurt. Mark Bradac and Chuck Price invented slam dancing (and that was while playing their guitars). Mike Kozak, who never let his drum kit get in the way of self-expression, regularly went screaming off the stage to be closer to his audience. It was three or four shows in one and nobody had a label for it. The first TEAZE album was recorded in 1976 at a facility near Toronto called The Grange. The band thought they were taping demos, but an LP called “TEAZE” was released. It ultimately went on to sell more copies in Sweden than Canada. After that, TEAZE was signed by Aquarius Records and the band moved to Montreal. In late 1977 they made an album called “ON THE LOOSE” with producer George Lagios. They began to gain a following and the next album marked a night of firsts. It was the first show outside of Canada. It was their first outing as a concert headliner. It was their first live album, “TOUR OF JAPAN.” The band was growing in popularity. A deal was signed with Capitol in the U.S. At last, TEAZE would be on sale “up North” in Detroit. “ONE NIGHT STANDS” needed to be a great album. It was, it was TEAZE’s finest work. The performance was passionate. The music was powerful. The lyrics were lucid and clever. Producer Myles Goodwyn helped the band weave together all of their disparate elements. “ONE NIGHT STANDS” included the band’s most memorable songs, “HEARTLESS WORLD” and “YOUNG AND RECKLESS”. TEAZE’s fifth and final album, “BODY SHOTS” was a strong effort but at some point, between their first and last recording the members of TEAZE had lost their brashness. The fourth LP indicated that their best might not be good enough. Getting released from their U.S. deal proved to be a decisive blow and the band fragmented within six months of the release of “BODY SHOTS.” Perhaps TEAZE was ahead of its time. It could be they were misunderstood. The five albums back then constitute a legacy. As it turns out the Legacy is far from over… Over time the various band members went their own ways but then a get together at a local restaurant would end with everyone on board to attempt the most unlikely 39-year reunion. So there was a TEAZE RESURRECTION show at Windsor’s Walkerville Theatre. The theatre, filled with family, friends and fans from across Canada, enjoyed the first TEAZE show since 1980. This led to another live show and subsequent CD release “Live at Liege” and this fantastic recording was released on Escape in 2025 (ESM403). So, what next? – A new studio Teaze album!! It’s 2026, 50 years after the debut… and they have recorded an album that proves these Canadians are far from done..it’s like they have never been away! Classic riffs and memorable hooks, it’s a dream come true… and time to “Rev your Engines” !!

Band: Side A: Side C: * Bonus Tracks Produced
by Gary Hughes and Mike Stone Wow, where does the time go? 30 years ago today was a fantastic year for British AOR/Melodic Rock as it saw the release of the debut Ten album (followed 6 months later by ‘Name Of The Rose’). Not only did the album receive rave reviews world-wide but went on to sell 60,000 copies in Japan alone; the Japanese certainly know and appreciate great Hard Rock music! What few people realise is that originally, the Ten project was simply a Gary Hughes solo project that was the follow up to Now & Then Records’ first ever release, Gary Hughes’ self-titled solo debut. The idea was to record two releases: an album of rockers and an album of ballads. However, after bringing in ex-Dare musicians Vinny Burns (guitar), Greg Morgan (drums) and Nick ‘Shelley’ Shelton (bass) to complete the recordings, it soon became apparent that something magical was happening. So, after both albums were completed and after a meeting between all parties, it was decided to mix the recordings together and release TWO band albums, 6 months apart. Thus, Ten was born. Knowing this salient fact, it becomes slightly amusing reading all those opinions saying that Ten became harder on their 2nd release, ‘The Name of the Rose’. So on the 30th anniversary of that truly astounding debut, we can now announce its release on vinyl for the very first time.

Release
Date: 24th April 2026 Track list: 1 Kingmaker 3:38 The Band: Hans Dalzon (Lead Vocals) Produced by M.ill.ion Mixed and mastered by Martin Kronlund
M.ILL.ION - THE BIOGRAPHY They've been called “ the perfect mix of hard rock, AOR and rock`n roll”, their reunion and 30:th anniversary in 2021 was a success. Now in 2026 the Swedish rockers return with the brand new album LEGEND! Produced by the band and mixed by Martin Kronlund the album contains nine melodic hard hitters. Having signed with established label Escape and the management of Dave Tedder, Head First Entertainment, this very inspired band is more than ready to rock! Background Formed In 1989 the original band released their debut “No.1” in 1992. A cult melodic rock album that was mixed in the legendary PUK Studio in Denmark. The debut reached the top 30 in Japan and got great reviews all over. Following their debut the more experimental “We Ourselves & Us” and the very rocking album “Electric” were released. Again – great receptions! All three albums with Hans Dalzon (then Johansson) behind the microphone. In 2000 the band was rebuilt and led by bassist B.J Laneby M.ILL.ION did four more albums “Detonator”, “Kingsize”, “Thrill of the Chase” and “Sane & Insanity” all the way up to 2014. Then M.ILL.ION was put on hold The four original members then reunited in 2020 ahead of M.ILL.ION´s 30:th anniversary. The band released the reunion album “BACK ON TRACK” which included four brand new songs and remixes and remasters from their back catalogue material. Great reception from the media all over, to quote Fireworks Magazine as one example :”An extremely strong melodic rock album! Welcome back M.ILL.ION!” Adding to that, and of course the most important things: the fans' reactions, a totally sold out reunion show followed by very successful touring and gigs with their friends in Magnum and Alien. All led to where we are today. A classic band on fire is back with a brand new album! The whole M.ILL.ION-journey up til now includes album charting, music placed on EA-Games, headlining their own European tours as well as opening for legends like Michael Schenker Group, Magnum, Nazareth and the original members of Saxon. Sweden Rock Festival (SWE), Skogsröjet (SWE), Stockholm Rock Out (SWE), Firefest (U.K ), Rock Over Munich (GERMANY) och Hard Rock Hell (SPAIN) are just some examples of all the festivals M.ILL.ION have rocked.

Release date: 24th April, 2026 TRACK LISTING 1. The Light 8:37
THE BAND Executive producers: Bruce Mee & Khalil Turk Born in Aldershot on 11 September 1947, Catley's family moved to the Tile Cross area of Birmingham when he was young. He went on to attend the nearby Central Grammar School for Boys (Birmingham) and left to start an apprenticeship at the GPO before deciding on a musical career shortly after meeting similarly minded individuals at college. Whilst at college he joined several bands, such as The Smokestacks (Jeff Clark-guitar, Ron Savage-guitar, Derek Danks-bass & Brian Worrell-drums, Life and Clearwater). His first professional band was when he joined local outfit The Capitol Systems. The initial line-up was Bob Catley (vocals) Paul Sargent (guitar) Paul Whitehouse (bass), Dave Bailey (keyboards) and Bob Moore (drums). Shortly afterward they changed their name to Paradox, inspired by a science-fiction novel. A one-off deal was arranged with Mercury after Paradox had come to the attention of Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt. The tracks were "Ever Since I Can Remember", backed with "Goodbye Mary". In addition, they recorded "Mary Colinto" and "Somebody Save Me". All of these songs were written by Dave Morgan. Paradox played festivals in the Netherlands and Italy before splitting up upon their return to the UK in 1970. Formed in 1972, Magnum throughout the next 16 years consisted mainly of Bob Catley on vocals and Tony Clarkin on guitar. Magnum began as the house band at Birmingham's famous Rum Runner night club (later the home of Duran Duran). They began to develop their own style by playing Clarkin's songs at a residency at The Railway Inn, in Birmingham's Curzon Street, in 1976. Joining Clarkin and Catley were drummer Kex Gorin and bassist Dave Morgan (later a member of ELO). Their most notable success during these early years was the Jeff Glixman produced Chase The Dragon (1982) which reached No. 17 in the UK, and included several songs that would be mainstays of the band's live set, notably "Soldier of the Line", "Sacred Hour" and "The Spirit". Their breakthrough album came in 1985 with On a Storyteller's Night which featured the single "Just Like an Arrow". This success continued in the following years with the Roger Taylor (Queen) produced Vigilante in 1986, the top 5 album Wings of Heaven in 1988, and the Keith Olsen produced Goodnight L.A. reaching No. 9 in the UK album charts in 1990. Subsequently, Clarkin decided to maintain a tighter control, and after their initial mainstream success, the band lost their major label backing and returned to a more personal level of production. This finally found the band splitting and the formation of Hard Rain in 1995, which saw Clarkin pursue a more Pop orientated direction with a band that included Sue McCloskey on lead vocals. This new direction didn't sit well with Catley, and after a headline performance at The Gods in the late 90s, a conversation with Bruce Mee of Now & Then Records saw Catley agree with a decision which eventually led to his debut solo album, 'The Tower'. This release was completely written by Gary Hughes of Ten, with the writing completely decided to be in the vein of classic Magnum. The album itself was recorded by various members of Ten, including the amazing Vinny Burns (Dare) on guitar. On release, the many positive reviews concluded that the release of 'The Tower' had succeeded beyond its wildest imagination... ..and Bob Catley's solo career had been launched with amazing success!! After the great success of 'The Tower', Bob and Gary got together again for the follow-up - 'Legends '. While not a full-blown concept album, each track was written about legendary figures from literature, mythology and real-life. Where else would one see songs about Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe standing should to shoulder with tales of Dracula, the Phantom of the Opera, Medusa and the Hydra amongst others. It was during the tour to support 'Legends' that Bob played at the renowned Lokerse Festival in Belgium, using members from Native Cain, along with Paul Hodson (Hard Rain/Ten) on keyboards, as his backing band. With a set consisting of tracks from his first two solo albums, as well as a fair amount of Magnum classics, this was a show to go down is history - and the fervent crowd certainly added to the spectacle!! The release is on both CD and also double vinyl, adorned with artwork by the legendary Rodney Matthews. As a fitting end to our collection of Bob Catley albums, this is one release that fans of Magnum, and quality Melodic Rock, should certainly add to their collection
