Spawned from Central Virginia, SAINT DIABLO is an unmovable force to be reckoned with. Bringing with them a fresh and unique tone of hardcore metal and Latino melodies, the band is set to stun heavy music fans with the release of their new album, entitled Saint Diablo, on July 10, 2012. The new record is the third full-length from the band and is being released through Eclipse Records (Mushroomhead, Scum of the Earth, Bobaflex). Known as a live show powerhouse, the band is ready to push that power to the masses with their biggest record yet. “This new CD, Saint Diablo, is a combined effort of so many wonderful people. We have such an awesome group of investors, supporters, handlers, and producers behind the curtain that I see this CD as just the BEGINING of the future,” states vocalist Tito Quinones. “For example, we have always done bilingual music and blended multi-cultural aspects of rock, metal, and groove; but this time we also did an entirely Spanish version of our lead single Watch Me Kill. We did this to expand our musical horizons, make new fans in countries and cultures that would otherwise have language barriers, and to have fun.”

TeN FoOt GrAvE is an American hard-rock/alternative band formed by brothers Dylan and Wesley Mann in 2008. After many lineup changes—mostly at the bass position—the band has finally found the right chemistry needed to achieve a state of absolute creativity. With Tyler Adkins on the drums, Brett Howard on bass, Wes on lead guitar and backup vocals, and Dylan as designated guitar playing front man, the band is now an efficient music making machine.

In the band’s younger years it found itself writing and performing eight minute originals mixed in with a vast arsenal of cover songs ranging from artists such as The Animals all the way to Staind. The band has since channeled all of its influences into one new unique sound that is Ten Foot Grave. Drawing from Grunge and Post-Grunge influences the band has now crafted a sound composed of smooth melodies, aggressive guitars, and gut-wrenching screams. With Dylan on lead vocals and Wes on backing vocals, the band is able to craft intricate harmonies for every melody.

Never afraid of being labeled as too “soft” or too “heavy” the band’s music takes sharp turns and dips like that of a roller-coaster ride. Since the band formed at such a young age—Dylan was merely fourteen when he started—it has allowed the band’s music to have a very mature composure for musicians that are all under the age of twenty-two. Ten Foot Grave is definitely a force to be reckoned with and the voice of a new generation. The band will not rest until it has left its mark on this world and the next!

Transcend The Fallen, melodic-metal quintet from Nashville, TN, certainly lives up to the "transcend" part of their name. No genre seems capable of containing them, which is refreshing since it also means no genre is capable of restricting them as they transcend the barriers between. Their sounds evokes what can only be described as evolution, keeping and blending all the best elements of metal, hard rock, alternative, emo, screamo, and even pop, and then simply discarding all the inferior aspects, culminating in what the band affectionately refers to as "pretty metal." The guys (and gal) have stated repeatedly in interviews that they're looking to bring an entirely new incarnation of rock music to both Music City and the world, and if Nashville is any indication, they are well on their way to making good on that promise. Musically, the group definitely brings the heaviness, but their focus seems to be on the melodic side of things, which is never absent even in the heaviest parts of any given song. One good listen to their debut offering, the full-length "Between Perception And Regret", will make it clear that this is not your typical metal band. The guitars weave in and out of patterned leads, driving rhythms, and yes, even guitar solos, with ease and grace, never leaving you feeling jarred by the changes. Guitarist Stephen Lewis combines classical technique with a hard rock feel, and the result is satisfying, to say the least. Meanwhile, Jason Garrie hammers out memorable rhythm parts with an intensity that would seem his very life depends on the next chord change. Bassist Martha Ramos consistently shows that this is not another case of "having a girl bassist just because she's a girl." Bass lines drive the backbone of every song, with just enough innovation to keep you interested, while never losing the solid force that keeps you in the groove. Drummer Phillip Garner is some otherworldly force behind his kit, and there is no question his creative playing style and unwavering timing will be what other drummers hear and aspire to. Finally, vocalist Matthew Bess is, quite frankly, something you have to see and hear for yourself. His vocal style covers the spectrum, flowing like water from soft, heartfelt pleadings into anguish-riddled screams. His emotional lyrics coupled with the passionate vocals make it impossible not to feel what he's singing, and the experience is powerful and personal. Overall, Transcend The Fallen is difficult to describe, but the "pretty metal" group seems to understand this, as reflected in their existential tagline and perpetual question to each and every one of their fans; "Do you transcend?" Transcend The Fallen Officially Endorses Overture Guitars and Basses, Soultone Cymbals, InTune Guitar Picks, SIT Strings, Mental Case, Big Bends Nut Sauce.
