...Money Never Sleeps this January; Voodoo Circle, Places Of Power album also set for release

Blistering Records is pleased to announce the world-wide signing of Covered Call, the Swedish melodic hard rock band who want to reach out and connect with rock fans when their North American debut Money Never Sleeps is released on January 27th, 2009 (end of March in Europe).

The band - which features established members of the Swedish music scene, including founding member/drummer Ronny Svanstr?mer and Thomas Vikstr?m (ex-Candlemass, Therion) - recorded and mixed Money Never Sleeps at Studio Fredman by Fredrik Nordstr?m (In Flames, HammerFall, Dimmu Borgir) and Henrik Udd.

Covered Call are an essential band in these times of middle-of-the-road rock and plastic pop bands, a band that currently may not be playing stadium-size shows like the veteran rock acts of the 80s that they drew inspiration from (Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Aerosmith and AC/DC), but they play like they do, thanks in part to their attitude and the melodic hooks used to reel fans in. And that says a lot!



Tracklisting for Money Never Sleeps:

1. All Because Of Me
2. Til' The End
3. Shine
4. Never Again
5. Anything You Want
6. I Wanna Be Free
7. Nothing At All
8. Money Never Sleeps
9. What About Us
10. Let's Make it Real

Lineup:

Ronny Svanstr?mer - Drums
Thomas Vikstr?m - Lead Vocals
Joel Carlsson - Guitar, Vocals
Thomas Thulin - Bass
Morgan Rosenquist - Guitar

In other news, Blistering Records are also ready to unleash two other truly unique melodic hard rock releases on January 27th, 2009.

The two albums -- Voodoo Circle's Alex Beyrodt's VooDoo Circle and Places Of Powers' Now Is The Hour -- are different creatively, yet joined by their masterful display of melodic hard rock and attitude.

Voodoo Circle is the brainchild of guitarist extraordinaire, Alex Beyrodt. Alex is best know as the driving force behind the acclaimed German melodic metal bands, Slient Force and Sinner, as well as being the touring guitarist of Primal Fear. Alex's incredible compositional and instrumental skills have secured his place as a true guitar hero and has earned him great respect among his fans and peers around the world. Alex decided to step out and form VooDoo Circle to unlock the chains of constraint that came with his previous bands, and so that he could pay respect and homage to his two great influences: Deep Purple and Rainbow. Behind Alex' ominous presence, VooDoo Circle also features band members David Readman (Pink Cream 69), Matt Sinner (Sinner, Primal Fear) and Mel Gaynor (Gary Moore, Brian May). It also features guest appearances by Doogie White (Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen) and Rudy Sarzo (Ozzie, Dio, Whitesnake)

Though the name Places Of Power may be new to most people, the individual musical accomplishments of its two founding members are highly respected indeed. Bruce Turgon and Philip Bardowell both possess musical pedigrees of the highest calibre, having worked with the likes of such notables as Foreigner, Lou Gramm and Peter Criss (Kiss) Now Is The Hour is a pairing of two superb artists who are no strangers to quality hard rock music. It is a collaboration between two-like minds who share enthusiasm for, and dedication to their craft. For the listener, it is a jewel of a record that features stellar production and songwriting in a way that only seasoned professionals can. Produced by Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Angra, Krokus).
