7TH HEAVEN

"7TH HEAVEN has been very busy working the new CD... which will probally be
released in Jan or Feb 2002.... we really want to make sure this album is
strong from front to back and really showcases the entire bands talents... we are working on a entire marketing campaign for this CD and think it will
really gain some serious attention..."

"One of our new focuses are in Music Video... we feel that Music Video is a
great way to show people what its like to see 7th heaven perform... we have
been collecting video footage from the past years worth of shows and will
edit some of that into some of the upcoming videos... so if you've been to
one of our shows, look for yourself in our upcoming videos...."

"Speaking of Video's, we have a new video on our website
(www.7thheavenband.com) called 'I Dont Know' ... it's a song that was written  a while ago that talks about world peace... let us know what ya think on our messageboard.... it's not a heavy song, so dont expect that..... also, the new video of 'Gonna Break' will premier on the website early next week, the old one is still up on the site, but check back next week and see the new video.... look for videos for "War Machine", "You Lied" & "Separated" to appear in the next couple months...."

Reviews:
Aug 16 - 2001
"The music of 7TH HEAVEN is unlike anything that you've ever heard, and
everything that you wish music would become. The music fuses electronic, hard rock, and pop melodies together and creates a sound that is as powerful as it is unique. The songwriting is also pretty amazing. The lyrics focus on real life and real emotions, but take the perspective to another level. It's not too often that I get this excited about a band. The music that is
incorporated in this sound rings with plenty of familiarity. Some songs remind me of THE CARS and some remind me of ORGY. Then you have songs that are completely off the scale, kind of like RAMMSTEIN. This is truly a great band with a lot of vision for the future of music. The groove is a little harder than your typical pop / rock, but it does have a ton of potential to take over the mainstream. I believe that this is music that can upset the balance of music. Then again, I could just be a little too into this band. I have to admit, I am definitely a fan. I've never actually been hit by the love at first listen thing, but I definitely am impressed with these guys. Don't take my word for it though, just check them out for yourself. - Michael Allison - THEGLOBALMUSE.COM

VH1
"7TH HEAVEN was offered to play on the VH1 show "Cover Wars". We made a band
decision NOT to play the show since we are pushing forward with our ORIGINAL music... However, there's a possiblity that we may be seen in the near future on MTV, MTV2 or MTV-X - we are shooting a few music videos which we will submit to them. MTV & VH1 have already taken a liking to the band, hopefully they will play the video... we shall see... videos should be done in the next 2 months... Speaking of videos.. we will have one video be a mixture of show we have playing in the last year.. so look for yourself.. you might be in the video..."

CADAVERIA / OPERA IX

Cadaveria and Flegias communicate their separation from OPERA IX. In April 2001 there have been some artistic and personal incomprehensions inside the band, that froze the feeling among the members, annihilating every possibility to continue to create music together. The artistic development of the band was definitely compromised, ideologies inside the group were narrow-minded. For these reasons Cadaveria and Flegias decided to say goodbye to the band and to discharge elsewhere their desire of true music.
While the rest of band preferred to keep the event secret, Cadaveria and Flegias started working on a new musical project and now, after some months of incubation, they are proud to announce the world a new band was founded. The band is called CADAVERIA and features Cadaveria (v), Frank Booth (g), Killer Bob (b), Baron Harkonnen (k), Marçelo Santos (d). The band is now working on compositions and is looking for a label. Check it on www.cadaveria.com

InsideOut Music America is pleased to announce that we they will be releasing the new CD from Germany's SILENT FORCE. The new disc, entitled 'Infatuator', will be available in North American stores on November 27th.   This is the second CD from the band and their first for InsideOut America.   SILENT FORCE features the soaring vox power of ex-ROYAL HUNT vocalist, DC Cooper, and the blazing guitar work of ex-PRIMAL FEAR guitarist, Alex Beyrodt.

'Infatuator' perfectly showcases SILENT FORCE's melodic, power metal sound by way of 12 brand new songs.  The album also features a rousing rendition of the JUDAS PRIEST classic, "All Guns Blazing".  As a special bonus, the disc also contains video which was compiled from footage (both on-stage and off) shot during the band's 2001 European tour.

This release promises to mark a new era for SILENT FORCE.  As singer DC
Cooper states, "This CD has brought the band to full maturity, as musicians, as friends, and as business partners.  When asked about the sound of
'Infatuator' DC added, "I think the fans of the heavier stuff will be
pleased, this is the most aggressive thing I've ever done."
