CD/DVD Releases: New Releases From Nightmare Records

Posted on Saturday, February 19 @ 10:00:00 UTC by nightowl

Two new releases are due March 18 from Nightmare Records [although Nightmare's website has these released Feb 15, 2011 -ed.], the first being Clandestine's The Invalid.

Clandestine is a female fronted melodic rock band with a serious emphasis on kick you in the face badatude. Formed in 2006, the band won the title "Best Female Fronted Band" from an LA magazine. Mixed by well known producer Sylvia Massey (Tool, System Of A Down), this band has wickedly infectious melodies and music that crosses many lines in the sand of purist rock, alternative, electronic and metal genres with an extremely impressive, 10 fresh songs equaling a 45 minute slab of hard edged rock that never fails to deliver on all levels.

The band is fronted by singer June Park, who wields a very impressive almost otherworldly and fierce voice. Enigmatic and engaging she is without a doubt, a star on the rise.....

This album has diversity-o-plenty, but even so, has its own sound; the band cannot be summed up easily but once heard will be remembered.

The four-piece is fulfilling the thirst of today's music fans that are in search of a new sound that triggers their ultimate aural pleasure. Clandestine's ultimate goal is combining diverse influences and styles that mark a new generation with an unnamed creation while striving to provide a sonic link from the past to the future.

Clandestine is a truly unique band, combining progressive rock with female fronted metal, a touch of electronic music that enhances the futuristic timbre, and some smooth huge pop melodies. The Invalid is a must for fans of bands as diverse as Evanescence, Dream Theater, Fair To Midland, Rush, Lacuna Coil, Tool and Between The Buried & Me.

What more can you ask for?

The second is Mindflow's With Bare Hands. Mindflow is a Brazilian melodic metal band fusing current active rock with metal showcasing their individual musicianship and mastery of their instruments with a seasoning of progressive tendencies throughout their extremely well produced compositions. Simplified Translation... "Great music with a melodic but heavy edge that cannot be easily described."

Mindflow can be a blistering hardcore band whose music comes at you like a force, to a soft ray of sunshine caressing your face. For the past 6 years, the band has systematically set their career on its path through endless touring throughout their home territories in South America, releasing three self-produced powerful albums, developing and utilizing the grass roots street team mentality to promote themselves and their music and now, finally, capturing the attention of the international music industry.

Appearances at music festivals in the U.S., Europe and Southeast Asia have started to build the band the same sort of loyal following from music fans all over the world, as they already enjoy in South America. Now is their time to go after the success that this talented, smart, hard-working foursome so obviously deserve.
