Interviews
It’s been a while since I listened to such a special and diverse music work. By blending prog/art rock music with lyrical, epic, symphonic, orchestral, pop, electronic elements… along with the stimulating sci fi concept...the band has created a splendid music art! That’s the reason we tagged it as the Best Album of January in Grande-Rock.com. We contacted the... Read More
It may have taken them 22 whole years to release a new album but Wrathchild are back hungrier and wilder than ever… ready to rock the world… and if they happen to play near you… do not miss them for anything. “StakkAttakkTwo” is a genuine, “raw” glam/sleaze rockin’ album… a must for every rocker that loves beautiful, catchy tunes with attitude. I know it’s been a... Read More
It’s really encouraging for our music to see new bands and young musicians not only releasing good music but also dealing with fantasy epic novels. “Eve Of Corruption” is a really ambitious musical project from a very promising new band. Grande Rock couldn’t miss the chance to contact the drummer and brain of Lorenguard, Brady Sadler, to learn more about the band,... Read More
Arena have released their darkest album to date… after 6 years of absence from the scene. They have also a new singer, Paul Manzi, onboard and their previous bassist John Jowitt is back again. Grande Rock contacted the mastermind/songwriter/keyboardist of the band, Clive Nolan, so as to learn more about the new work of the band, the band’s line-up changes and many... Read More
After 5 years of absence… one of the pioneering gothic rock/metal bands is back with a brand new album. To/Die/For is here… darker, more melancholic and stronger than ever… Grande Rock contacted the mastermind of the band, Jape (vocals, songwriting), and asked him about the years the band was inactive, the present, the future… and some very strange things about music...

Unfortunately Shy’s homonymous album was meant to be the last work of the band. “Shy” is indeed one of the best 3 works of the band ever… not seconds thoughts about it. Grande Rock took the chance and contacted Lee Small, the vocalist, of Shy and talked about the great guitarist/composer Steve Harris (R.I.P.), about the Shy’s last album… and for Lee’s new second solo...

I’ve been waiting for J.R. Blackmore’s new solo album, ‘cause I’m a big fan of his previous works. Jürgen is a fantastic but also underrated guitarist/songwriter that has delivered some great albums so far. Sometimes it’s not only a blessing to be the son of a legendary guitarist… people is making unfair comparisons just for no reason. Let’s hope that this album will... Read More
It’s great to see newcomers in the metal scene that have so much to offer and they love the music that they play with all their heart. Eumeria is a USA/UK band that consists of well-known musicians and admirable new ones, as well. The band after a lot of searching decided to self release its debut album. If you have such a strong musically and lyrically album in your... Read More
Praying Mantis has been around for over 30(!) years now. Formed by brothers Tino and Chris Troy in the mid-70s and although they have been associated with the NWOBHM movement back in the day… they manage to break those musical boundaries and they became one of the best melodic hard rock bands. Thank God they are still “on the run” and making good rockin’ music. I... Read More
Martin Orford is a well known and a well respect musician. He has offered us many great tunes in the past with his ex band IQ and knows generally how to deliver inspired musical landscapes through his music. “The Old Road” is the second and his last (?) solo work… unfortunately Martin has decided to call it quits… the reasons…? Well just read he interview below and... Read More
