Melodic Revolution Records is proud to announce that they have just struck a multi-album deal with the Christian AOR/Prog band Time Horizon. The ensemble gained international attention with their debut release “Living Water” (2011) and caught the attention of Nick Katona at Melodic Revolution Records. Time Horizon has spent the last four years writing and recording “Transitions”, their follow-up to the highly praised debut album by both critics and fans alike. The band had also gone thru some personal changes during the writing and recording process, thus the meaning behind the name of the new album. Time Horizon released their debut album “Living Water” via their own label Angelic Noise and dedicating the first run of 1000 CDs to help people in third world countries by raising funds for clean water. One of the bands founders keyboardist Ralph Otteson chose to partner with Living Water International, hence the name of the first album. Time Horizon continues to be committed to helping the thirsty around the world. The band knew they were capable of more and desired to raise the bar on the new album, so they brought in Billy Sherwood (Yes, Circa, World Trade) to help in production and mixing the songs. Sherwood wanted to see the production all the way through the mastering phase, so he brought it to Grammy nominated mastering engineer, Maor Appelbaum. Ralph also brought in some very special friends to guest on the new album, namely Billy Sherwood, Tony Kaye (Yes, Circa, Detective), Jake Livgren (Proto-Kaw), David Wallimann (Glass Hammer), as well as some others. Line-up: Ralph Otteson (keyboards, vocals), Allen White (basses), Dave Miller (el. & ac. guitars); with: Billy Sherwood (guitars), Tony Kaye (Hammond organ), Jake Livgren (vocals), David Wallimann (el. & ac. guitars), Lang Bliss (drums), Michael Mullen (violin).

Melodic Revolution Records is proud to announce that they have just struck a multi-project deal with Solo Artist Kristoffer Gildenlow, a veteran musician, who started off his professional music career in 1995 with the Swedish Prog-Metal band Pain Of Salvation and was an active recording and touring member until his departure in 2006. After leaving POS Gildenlow became a highly sought after recording and touring session musician, working with international bands and artists such as Neal Morse, Lana Lane, Rocket Scientists and Damian Wilson among others. In 2011 Gildenlow felt it was time to spread his wings and begin work on his first solo album "Rust", which would be released on vinyl in 2012, followed by the CD in 2013. Not one to sit, still Gildenlow continues his session work while working on his second solo album, which again will be a concept album, to be released in 2016. Gildenlow will also be performing live on November 21, 2015, at Parktheater Alphen aan den Rijn, where he will be performing music from his debut release “Rust”, as well as songs from his upcoming new album, which will be recorded and released on DVD.

Frontiers Records
(Italy) / October 25, 2015

Frontiers Records presents “The Grand Design”, the new album by Khymera. While the Khymera project started out as an alliance between Italian producer and musician Daniele Liverani and Kansas singer Steve Walsh, it actually developed into a regular musical project when bassist Dennis Ward came into the picture. While known as a bassist, Dennis always sings background vocals with his bands, so it was quite interesting for many fans to hear his voice taking the lead on the Khymera albums “A New Promise” and “The Greatest Wonder”. While the project went on hiatus for some time, it was a natural choice for Dennis to grab the reins and take complete control (both on the songwriting and on the production side) of the new album, “The Grand Design”, which comes 7 years after the release of “The Greatest Wonder”. Musically, the new album very much follows along the logical progression of the musical path that was started a few years ago. “The Grand Design” is a strong, extremely melodic release, which showcases the fantastic vocal abilities of Dennis and highlights his great skills as a songwriter and producer. Khymera still offers one of the most shining examples of what great European melodic Hard Rock is all about: crystal clear production, soaring vocals, killer musicianship and songwriting that reminds fans of the heydays of the genre when bands like Giuffria and Icon ruled the airwaves. Release Date: December 4, 2015.

Inverse Records
(Finland) / October 25, 2015

Inverse Records releases the new/second Standing Ovation album, "Gravity Beats Nuclear", on November 27, 2015. The album title refers to the creation of all life – Gravity. Without this, no stars would have ever been born, and hence no life either. Although the album deals with powerful themes of life, the familiar trademark of twisted humor is once again included with a pinch of science fiction. The musical extremes are widened further and once more, it’s a roller-coaster ride which you hop on blindfolded not knowing what surprises there will be around corner. And last but not least has the coating been decorated by much richer melody frosting.
