Sneakout Records & Burning Minds Music Group are glad to announce the details of ‘Like A Snake‘, official debut album of Italian hard rockers, X-Plicit. Founded by guitar-player Andrea Lanza after the great feedbacks received with his first studio project, Skill In Veins (which saw a line-up of respected musicians including the likes of Alessandro Del Vecchio, Nik Mazzucconi, Francesco Jovino & Gabriele Gozzi), and influenced by the likes of Guns N’ Roses, Skid Row, Aerosmith and Badlands, X-Plicit shows the quality and tight musicianship of a smart four-members combo. The band is completed by Sa Talarico (Aeternal Seprium) on bass, Giorgio Annoni (Longobardeath, Homerun) on drums, and frontman Simone Zuccarini (Generation On Dope, Razzle Dazzle, Norimberga, Torque, The Wetdogs).

Andrea Lanza quotes: “I’m very excited about this album. We can’t wait to finally present to fans the music included in ‘Like A Snake‘, which is perfect to be played live by this line-up of great friends. The deal with Burning Minds Music Group can be then considered the icing on the cake: I love the passion and knowledge shown by them for this kind of music, it’s cool to be part of this brilliant rock ‘n’ roll family“.

‘Like A Snake‘ is set for release on May 24, 2019 via Sneakout Records / Burning Minds Music Group, and is available also a special Ltd.

Rock Temple, the international mail order dedicated to rock and metal music fans, in collaboration with Burning Minds Music Group & Burning Minds Music Agency, is proud to announce the second official edition of the Rock Temple Festival. After a first successful edition in 2018, which saw cult Canadian AORsters Boulevard playing in Italy for the first time in history, the staff of the event worked very hard to offer another night to remember to all the fans of the great melodic rock music! The event will take place at Dedolor Music Headquarter – Rovellasca (CO – ITALY).

For the first time in Italy as solo artist, Toby Hitchcock will headline the event with a great setlist, composed by songs taken from his acclaimed two solo albums, plus few selected hits coming directly from the Pride Of Lions and Survivor‘s discography. Toby will be backed by Italy’s rock sensation Wheels Of Fire, and two additional backing vocalists: Marcello Spera (Alchemy) and Maryan. But the surprises aren’t over, because keyboards’ maestro Alessandro Del Vecchio will join the band on stage to complete a top class line-up.

Co-headliners of the event, 91 Suite are one of the most popular melodic rock bands from Spain. After two cult AOR albums released in the early 2000’s, the combo recently reunited with the original line-up to start the making of their third long awaited studio work. For the first time in Italy ever, the band will present their amazing songs in what is going to be a fantastic night for all the melodic rock’s supporters.

Already at the service of Mr. “Top Vocalist” Toby Hitchcock in this very special night, Wheels Of Fire will perform also a charming set of songs to celebrate the release of their awaited third album, ‘Begin Again“‘(mixed & mastered by renowned sound engineer Roberto Priori, and coming in June on Art Of Melody Music). The new tunes will be performed live for the first time ever.

Italian AOR masters Lionville don’t need any introduction to the international melodic rock audience. Mastermind Stefano Lionetti will carry the lead vocals duties on this selected acoustic gig, offering to the audience a great journey throughout the three acclaimed Lionville‘s studio album.

Last but not least, Italian newcomer Dale Sanders will perform live some of the songs extracted from his official debut album ‘Handle With Care‘, recently released on Freemood. Produced by Mario Percudani, the album features Hungryheart‘s members Josh Zighetti, Stefano Scola and Paolo Botteschi (plus Mario himself) as very special guests.

Sneakout Records & Burning Minds Music Group are glad to announce the signing of Italian classic rockers, The Sticky Fingers Ltd., for the release of their brand new album ‘Point Of View‘. The rock band from Vignola (Modena, Italy) was formed back in 1996 by guitarist Lorenzo Mocali with the name of Sticky Fingers, in order to create a power trio focused on 70’s–era blues rock. Their sound, heavily influenced by The Rolling Stones, Faces, Humble Pie, Beatles, Cream and Lynyrd Skynyrd amongst others, is characterized by a hybrid of blues, hard-rock and psychedelic rock. They extensively toured all over Emilia Romagna and Northern Italy, and after some self-produced demos the group reassembled and changed the name in The Sticky Fingers Ltd. in 2013, exactly one year before of releasing their first full-length album via Logic Il Logic Records.

Afterwards, in the two following years, The Sticky Fingers Ltd. improved their live activity performing some shows for the first time around Europe, including the 2016 appearance at the ‘Masters Of Rock Festival‘ in Czech Republic. In 2017 the revamped line-up composed by Lorenzo (Vocals & Guitar), Jaypee (Bass), Flash (Drums) & Jesus (Guitar & Backing Vocals) started to work on the songs for the second official album, which took one year to be finally completed. “Point Of View” shows a more mature and refined sound, perfect to be proposed on the live side. The album is set for release on October 19, 2018 via Sneakout Records / Burning Minds Music Group. More info about cover artwork and final tracklist will follow in the forthcoming weeks.

Line-up:

Lorenzo: Vocals & Guitar

Jesus: Guitar & Backing Vocals

Jaypee: Bass

Flash: Drums
