Warrior: US Metal Legend Back On Track!
Yesss! They are back and ready to rock your world again!
Formed in 1982, Warrior soon started to make a name for themselves in the local clubs with their futuristic brand of European influenced heavy metal.
«Fighting For The Earth» was released in 1985 and though not a huge commercial success, the album became an instant favorite among underground metal heads.
Fueled by internal turmoil and record company problems, Warrior split up in early 1987, with vocalist Parramore McCarty briefly fronting Rough Cutt in place of the Quiet Riot bound Paul Shortino.
In 2008, Floyd once again reunited with original vocalist Parramore McCarty. As of 2009, Warrior have markedly stepped up their live profile, playing their first European show in over a decade at the prestigious «Bang Your Head!!!» festival in Germany as well making an appearance at «Rocklahoma 2009». Warrior is currently completing their fifth studio album for release in summer 2010 followed by tour dates (tba).
Line-up: Parramore McCarty, vocals; Joe Floyd, guitars; AC Alexander, guitars; Rob Farr, bass; Dave DuCey, drums
Mace: 20 Years... And Counting
Mace is as straight ahead and hard-hitting a rock and roll band as you could wish.
In the era of Duran Duran and Wham, Mace, with influences like Thin Lizzy, the Scorpions, Bad Company, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest and Lynyrd Skynyrd, gave its Swiss audiences a needed break from idiot-pop, and long before Nirvana came along to lead the hard-rock revival.

The Force: The Rough Side Of The Blues
«Remember the days when sex was safe and music was dangerous»
Back in 2002 british guitarist Mark Elliot and german drummer Hanns Haurein who both live in Switzerland, meet up with the Swiss Bassist Beat Schaub. Result: «70s style hardrock with blues-roots. Sounds as if Muddy Waters was f***ed by Jimmy Page in AC/DC's tourbus with Phil Lynott and Joe Bonamassa watching through the window.» (Source: CD Baby USA)
