Black Dreams

5/18/2019

Black Dreams was established in 2015 in Rauma, Finland. There are five members in the band.
BD plays a sort of blues metal and BD is influenced by Black Sabbath, Danzig, Sentenced, Paradise Lost and many more.

Black Dreams releases a new two track single on May 16th 2019.
Black Dreams is a Finnish heavy rock act that has gathered airplay for it's music around the world on underground radio stations for example in Australia, UK and USA.

The band presents their refreshed style with the new single.
Band collaborated with producer Mikko Herranen (Misterer, Misery Inc., Rust, Velcra, Lullacry..) who recorded and mixed the tracks.
Musically the tracks show two sides of a coin.

"Vocalist Kraapo brought some delicious song ideas to the rehearsals. UNDER MY SKIN was quite straight forward and catchy.
We wanted to get some metal aspect to it also so that we wouldn't go into any pop stuff. And I think that we made the trick.
Mikko Herranen put some fairy dust on the production and it was a wrap!"
Jari Rippe Rantanen, the drummer of Black Dreams.

Black Dreams Under My Skin 2 Track Single
1. Under My Skin
2. We Love Dead People
Released May 16TH 2019

"WE LOVE DEAD PEOPLE is a bit heavier and slower track. And that's why it's my personal favourite.
It was more like a raw piece and we did lot more arrangement work with that track than the first one. Beautiful and chaotic piece of art.
And we are pretty much approaching the thing that we have aimed all along. A trip towards deep, beautiful and dark waters has began.
Some Type O Negative or Black Sabbath influences might be spotted.

UNDER MY SKIN is a quite traditional love story about lost love.
WE LOVE DEAD PEOPLE is a tribute to all of those great personalities that left us too soon."
Jari Rippe Rantanen, the drummer of Black Dreams.

NEW SIGNING:
SKID ROW sign Global Deal With Australia's Golden Robot Records! New Music To Be Released Late 2019
The world’s fastest growing independent rock label, Golden Robot Records, continues it’s upward trajectory into 2019. Starting the year off with a bang, the label recently welcomed guitar icons John Sykes and Gilby Clarke to the family as well as Alt Rockers, Trope, and is now thrilled to announce their latest signing!

Golden Robot Records is pleased to welcome hard rock legends Skid Row to their already impressive roster of artists! The band recently signed a worldwide deal with Golden Robot Records, which will see their long anticipated forthcoming new album and first with new frontman ZP Theart released later this year.

'We are beyond excited to announce that we have signed with Golden Robot Records. The label is the perfect balance between old-school way of thinking with digital age sensibilities. We can think of no better company to release our third chapter of United World Rebellion and our first record with ZP.,” says Skid Row bassist, Rachel Bolan.
'We are honored to welcome Skid Row to the GRR family they have always remained true to there fans with authenticity and passion. We are more than excited to Be part of there next chapter and journey with a brand new album’! Mark Alexander-Erber, Golden Robot Entertainment Group Founder and President.

Skid Row burst onto the scene with their iconic self titled debut album in 1988. Fueled with enough punk and metal attitude to take down any band on the West Coast but enough melody to battle them for airplay dominance. Top Ten singles, Gold and Platinum sales in too many countries to count and a #1 album on the Billboard chart! They ruled the world for the next 8 years until an ill advised South American tour in 1996 brought the party to an end. The band was finished, but the core camaraderie never died.
In 2000 Skid Row returned to the big stage. Opening for Kiss, they were reinvigorated. Supercharged underdogs who needed to come out fighting to prove themselves once more. With a new front man the renewed Skid Row played hundreds of shows, with every night being a hard fought battle to win new fans and convince the old ones they still had it. Two albums and two EP's later, the war was won. Skid Row have reestablished their position as one of rocks finest acts with authenticity and the fact they have stayed totally true to themselves and their fans.
With the current musical climate the way it is, Skid Row will continue down the EP path. “The idea really appealed to me,” says Bolan, “especially with the constantly changing musical climate. I like the idea of a steady flow of new music, as opposed to releasing a full-length album then riding it for the next two years.”
Armed with powerhouse vocalist ZP Theart, Skid Row in 2019 is as potent as ever. The twin guitar attack of Dave ’Snake Sabo and Scotti Hill is as legendary as any other classic duo and they are cemented in place by the massive driving force of Rachel Bolan on bass and Rob Hammersmith up the back on drums.

The band are currently in the studio recording the third in their United World Rebellion EP series and it will be released via Golden Robot Records in late 2019.
Skid Row will be playing in Europe throughout June and July appearing on festivals including Bang Your Head and Rockhard in Germany, Download UK, Norway Rock, Sweden Rock and more!

Skid Row are part of an international roster that includes such iconic artists as, guitar legends John Sykes and Gilby Clarke (ex Guns ’n’ Roses), King's X, Little Caesar,
The Lazys, Trope, Hookers & Blow, Guns ’n’ Roses keyboardist Dizzy Reed and the all-star A New Revenge.

Plus, Golden Robot Records boasts an incredible line up of Aussie acts, led by Rose Tattoo, The Superjesus, Misex and featuring Steve Kilbey, Palace Of The King, Jailbirds, Fyre Byrd, The Kids, Destrends, Flickertail and many more. Watch out for more incredible names who will be joining GRR’s international roster in the near future!

Golden Robot Records now own five record labels and have teams in every major market in the world: Sydney, Los Angeles, New York, Hamburg, London, Tokyo and Auckland. With globally experienced music industry veterans heading up key roles in A&R, Management, Marketing and Publicity, Golden Robot Records are able to give their roster maximum exposure and support.
We can't wait to hear what Skid Row and Golden Robot Records bring to the stage in 2019!
