The Flying Aces tour just finished on April, 9th with the gig in Kaufbeuren and turned out to be a great success for all participating bands due to the crowded locations.

ROB ROCK - NEW ALBUM "HOLY HELL"
Fans who danced? oh sorry? of course I meant GOT CRAZY to one or the other new
ROB ROCK tune on the Flying Aces tour, can do this right now at home as well, because the new album "Holy Hell" is in stores since the 4th of April. The ROB ROCK fans can look forward to 10 new songs produced by Roy Z (a.o. JUDAS PRIEST) and mixed by Jacob Hansen who created a real heavy sound for that record.
Order No.: AFM 091-2
AT VANCE - NEW ALBUM "CHAINED"
"INSIDE THE MONSTER TOUR" WITH BRAINSTROM AND MERCENARY
The new AT VANCE album "Chained" is in stores since the 11th of April. The new drummer of AT VANCE will be Mark Cross (former METALIUM, HELLOWEEN).
From the 19th of April, the band will support BRAINSTORM on their ?Inside The Monster tour" which will stop in Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, Slovakia, Hungary, and Switzerland.
SHAAMAN - NEW ALBUM "REASON"
The new SHAAMAN (no spelling mistake, due to legal reasons, the band had to change their name a little) album, entitled ?Reason" is ready to be played in the "repeat" modus of your CD player from May, 17th. There will be nine new SHAAMAN songs on the album as well as a cover version of the SISTERS OF MERCY hit "More". The album sounds a little drier and harder as the debut album, but comes up with lots of great melodies and some South-American folk influences. So watch out for this outstanding and unique Metal record: Fat sound, great melodies, variation and at no time boring.
Order No.: AFM 087-2
DORO PESCH - KERRANG AWARD FOR BEST FEMALE SINGER
A couple of days ago, our sweetheart DORO PESCH was voted as the best female Metal singer by the readers of the Spanish ?KERRANG!" and ?HEAVY ROCK" magazine. The 15th time in a row!!
Other female singers such as Amy Lee (EVANESCENCE) or Tarja Turunen (NIGHTWISH) had to be content with positions two and three. DORO travelled to Saragossa to personally receive the award in front of 4000 spectators. "I was very nervous and excited, even had some teardrops in my eyes, but it was absolutely amazing."
Another top position for DORO: The readers of the German Metal Heart magazine voted DORO as "personality of the year 2004" leaving Lemmy (MOTÖRHEAD) and actor Christopher Lee behind.
Order No.: AFM 085-5 (EP); AFM 085-9 (lim. Digibook); AFM 085-2 (CD); AFM 085-8 (DVD)
SQUEALER - GUS CHAMBERS IS NEW FRONTMAN OF SQUEALER
NEW ALBUM IN THE BEGINNING OF 2006
We just received the following message from the SQUEALER members.
Dear SQUEALER fans, friends und media partners
"First of all, we would like to thank you for the tons of e-mails we received after the tragical death of our friend and singer Andy "Henner" Allendörfer - written by fans and bands we have played with all over the years. It was the sadest moment in the bands history and receiving your condolences was a real good feeling. Even bands we performed with only once or twice on a festival did remember us and sent us a message telling us not to quit the band.
After a couple of band meetings we decided to go on. It would have been senseless to throw all the hard work we did together in a garbage can and quit the band. No doubt that Henner also would have wanted us to continue with the band. So we decided to continue to start the work on our new album which will probably be released in the beginning of 2006.
Gus Chambers (former singer of GRIP INC.) will be the new vocalist of SQUEALER. We know Gus since a couple of years and we think that his way of singing and performing will fit perfectly to the band and to our new song material. Very important is to have a singer which is a full band member of SQUEALER. We don't want to have a "hired gun" in the band which plays in 15 other bands and is more interested in the money than in the music.
Since Eastern, we work with Gus to finish the new SQUEALER material and everyone in the band likes his ideas for the vocal parts very much. Probably, the new record will be the hardest in the bands history, but this was already planned with Henner at the beginning of the song writing process and we will continue the work this way."
A few words from Gus to the SQUEALER fans.
Hello all SQUEALER fans
Just a few words to introduce myself, my name is GUS CHAMBERS and I have been given the great honour and privilege to become the new singer and full time member of SQUEALER , after the crushing news about Andy I know I have some big shoes to fill and I promise all I will do my best to deliver a new kick ass album and rock every one who comes to the live shows , so for now I say goodbye and keep the faith.
cheers
GUS CHAMBERS
We would like to thank everyone who supported us in the last years and we are looking forward to see you again.
