Fear Not (USA) - Fields Of Sorrow - Featured At Music City Digital Media Network! - @thebeast

Fear Not (USA) - Fields Of Sorrow - Featured At Music City Digital Media Network ! check it out here at these links: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0ZFTkmzvkKnyGElYET6u5N https://www.musiccitydigitalmedianetwork.com/artists-bios/fear-not Release Date: July 8, 2022 FFO: Stryper, Bloodgood Location: Los Angeles, CA 2022 is set to be the return of what was one of Christian Rock’s greatest acts of the nineties. This band made their public debut actually being known as Love Life, releasing an album titled “Goodbye Lady Jane” on Blonde Vinyl in 1991. As the band began to progress, they caught the ears of well-established producers John & Dino Elefante, and a new journey was about to begin. Working with the famed producers the band would change their name to Fear Not and release their self-titled album upon the world via Pakaderm Records. The album would garner great reviews and praise from the media and the band would begin playing shows across the US. Unfortunately, as it happens all too often, life got in the way and the band would never actually make it to release a sophomore effort, ultimately disbanding. Fast forward to 2017 and indie label Roxx Records would search the band out and ultimately start to work on a complete redesign and rerelease of that amazing debut album. In 2017, working in conjunction with the band, that debut album would be beautifully remastered with enhanced artwork and reissued in a limited-edition CD format and for the first time ever on limited edition vinyl. As a result of this, those four original members of Fear would Not embark on a brand-new journey and rekindle that band relationship and start to work on brand new music for the first time in almost 35 years. Added to the fold would be an additional vocalist working with the band by the name of Eddie Green, a seasoned touring vocalist, who previously fronted the metal band 'Even The Dogs'. Now as a 5 piece the band would record and release their debut music together as a beautiful new EP titled “For The Wounded Heart”.  Five brand new tunes for the world to enjoy as this band was back and just beginning a new journey of life, music and ministry for a world that much needs it. “For The Wounded Heart” would get many great reviews and accolades which would spark that fire amongst the band and even get them out into the world to play shows again as a 5 piece. It's been over 3 years since that first EP, the world had pretty much come to a stop as we dealt with a worldwide pandemic. While that worldwide downtime was going on these guys were dealing with so much adversity in their personal lives, illness, death of loved ones, and so much more we didn’t think anything more would come to fruition. However, all along that troublesome pathway it inspired the band, and they continued writing new music, recording new music and slowly building a brand new full length release to share with this world. And now 2022 will finally see the release of the much anticipated new full length album from the legendary FEAR NOT.   FEAR NOT are set to embark on a new musical journey with the release of their sophomore full length album entitled “Fields of Sorrow”. “Fields of Sorrow” takes the listener on a heavy and heartfelt journey with the band as they prepare to release this full length album of all new music with meaning.  Tracks that tackle many of the issues we face and deal with today, with the addition of some heavy and emotional music as your soundtrack, “Fields of Sorrow” will definitely be on repeat play for many of us this year as we continue to navigate life through these troubled times. Get ready as we prepare to release the brand new album from FEAR NOT! Today we unveil the brand new cover art and a world premiere lyric video for the second single from the new album. On the heels of the debut single “Struggle” we are very excited to bring you the brand new single which also happens to be the title track of the new album “Fields of Sorrow” we hope you not only enjoy it but request it to be played wherever you listen or stream your music. The new single is on sale now digitally at all your favorite platforms, and has been serviced to radio around the world.

Apoorv Singh Kathait (India) - The Chronicles Of Shredman Singh - Featured & Interviewed By Pete's Rock News And Views ! Check it out here at this link: http://petesrocknewsandviews.com/apoorv-singh-kathait-interview/ Release Date: May 1st, 2022 FFO: Intervals, Plini, The Contortionist Location: New Delhi, India Playing guitar since his teen years and finally releasing original Instrumental Prog Music, the Debut EP of Apoorv Singh Kathait follows the primal emotions felt by a hypothetical being for the first time. 'The Chronicles of Shredman Singh' The EP follows the journey of our titular hero “Shredman Singh” who has discovered a way of communicating with other beings with his guitar. We see as he discovers emotions like - Joy - Being happy with the fact that there is now a way for our hypothetical hero to convey his emotions he is joyous and explores the different types of happiness as the song progresses. Rage - But as he progresses, he realizes that there is a steep learning curve and also sees the other ways people can express themselves. Not being content with himself the rage that follows takes different forms as the song goes on. As he runs out of steam, he starts seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Redemption - While reaching the metaphorical end of the tunnel our hero “Shredman Singh” realizes that even though he is limited with the Guitar being his voice, he still can communicate. The EP is us observing a "sentient being" going through primal emotions of humanity as “IT” starts to become more human and make music along the way.  Shredman Singh can now communicate via guitars and also discovers primal emotions like “ Joy”, “Rage” and “Redemption” Check out this video!
