Applehead Unleashes Long-Awaited Album: ‘The Light Side of the Apple’

After a three-decade hiatus, Applehead makes a triumphant return with their latest album, ‘The Light Side of the Apple,’ proudly presented by Roxx Records. Roxx Records, an independent label renowned for championing both cherished legacy artists and promising new talents in the rock and metal scene worldwide.

The album ‘Meaning,’ Applehead’s initial offering, recently resurfaced as a limited-edition vinyl/CD through Roxx Records. However, ‘The Light Side of the Apple’ is more than just a nostalgic revival.

Driven by personal struggles and unanswered questions, Greg Minier masterfully guides listeners through a barrage of metal riffs that traverse diverse musical genres, evoking emotional ties reminiscent of rock’s original heyday.

Staying true to the core Applehead ethos, Greg Minier takes charge of vocals and instrumental performances, except for bass lines, gracefully handled by Jaymi ‘Pinkbassman’ Millard (known for his work with Mark Slaughter Band and Slaughter).

As the summer unfolds, Greg Minier prepares with the live band, aiming to grace stages later in the year.

Emerging in 1992 as Greg Minier’s solo project during his tenure with the acclaimed California thrash metal band, the Crucified, Applehead kicked off their journey by opening for the Crucified shows the same year. The debut album ‘Meaning’ was released under the Ocean Records label (with a limited reissue in 2022 by Roxx Records). Greg Minier even gained prominence in the August 1993 edition of Guitar World magazine, featuring a five-page exposé on his guitar expertise and his association with the Crucified.

Mark your calendars for September 1st, 2023, when the new album will hit all streaming platforms, digital outlets, and CD stores. Keep an eye out for the limited vinyl edition, with pre-order options coming your way soon!

The apple tree has matured, bearing more robust branches, and the fruits of these branches are primed to deliver an electrifying rock experience!

Ex Aegis Unveils Debut Album Through “Head West” Lyric Video

EX AEGIS emerges as a dynamic fusion of classic Hard Rock, Power Metal, Progressive Rock, with a touch of Pop for added flavor. Founded in 2019 by close friends and skilled guitarists, Scott Allen and Ryan Bowe, the band’s mission was crystal clear: rekindle the kind of Metal that had been craved since the decline of Rock and Metal in the mid-nineties. Melding influences like Van Halen, Queensryche, King Diamond, and Ozzy Osbourne, alongside their own distinctive styles, Ryan and Scott embarked on creating their inaugural masterpiece.

After an unfortunate pandemic-related delay in 2020, all the puzzle pieces were in place, except one. Enter the powerhouse vocalist, Judith Morgan. Jude possessed the vocal range, passion, and versatile chops to navigate through the twists and turns the duo had crafted. With the thunderous drumming of Alex Bosson and the meticulous production of Tom Frost, the recording and mixing process reached its culmination.

The outcome is now unveiled to the world – a tribute to the glory days of Rock and Metal and a glimpse into the future. A firm declaration that Rock is far from extinct. EX AEGIS introduces an all-encompassing Metal style that doesn’t forsake melody and catchy hooks. They uphold an unwavering focus on songcraft while keeping the instrumental virtuosity that defines remarkable Metal. The music welcomes Hard Rock enthusiasts with open arms, yet retains the intensity and boldness that unmistakably define the band’s Metal identity. The tracks shine with heavy riffs, scorching solos, monumental hooks, and celestial vocals. EX AEGIS emphatically announces that the era of Metal isn’t behind us but ahead. Their debut album release will serve as the first stepping stones, evolving into an unstoppable force that propels Metal back into the mainstream.
