State Of Rock , Angels Of Babylon - new album

State Of Rock - A Point Of Destiny (Metal Heaven, 29.01.2010)

Four years after the Frontline’s last studio album, “Circles”, time was ripe for State Of Rock, the new band around Frontline guitarist Robby Böbel. “Hutch” Bauer and Rami Ali, two old Frontline comrades, jumped on board, so the only question left open was who could take the place behind the microphone. That was when label boss Georg Siegl pulled the strings and got in contact with Tony Mills (Shy, TNT). After only three demo songs it was clear that the chemistry between the two songwriters, Robby Böbel and Tony Mills, was great. Their strengths complemented each other and pushed them to new horizons. It turned out instantly that this new band was about to become something special! Their debut album, “A Point Of Destiny”, follows the slogan “75 % Frontline + 25 % Shy = 100 % State Of Rock”, as it combines the qualities of these two classic melodic rock bands: melodic vocals by Tony Mills at the times of Shy classics like “Excess All Areas” plus the unique guitar-licks by Robby Böbel. In September Tony Mills came to Germany to put the final touches on the album. The band used the opportunity and played some showcases in front of a handpicked audience to emphasize that State Of Rock are a real band and not just another project. “A Point Of Destiny” will be released on January 29, 2010 – a date that any melodic rock fan should mark in his calendar.

Angels of Babylon is the new lineup of metal stalwarts featuring former MANOWAR drummer Rhino, Arizona based power-metal vocalist David Fefolt, guitarist Ethan Brosh and former MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson.

“I started compiling these songs many years ago but was patiently waiting for the optimum lineup to record and release an album like this,” says Rhino, “I was introduced to Fefolt, Ellefson and Brosh a couple years back, and they provided the inspiration to forge ahead and complete the album. I think we have something really special for our fans with this new record.”






The band formed in 2008 when drummer Rhino and singer David Fefolt began writing songs for a new album. They met bassist David Ellefson in a recording studio in Phoenix, Arizona. After hearing their material, Ellefson was impressed enough to join forces and create a new vision of heavy metal. Berklee schooled guitar virtuoso Ethan Brosh had just finished completing a solo album when he was asked to become the final piece of the rock-n-roll monolith. They recorded 10 stellar tracks over the next year and a half of blistering, melodic heavy metal. The emphasis was put on huge melodies but with a heavy touch. Hammering guitars, pounding drums, driving bass, and soaring vocals are all the hallmark of Angels of Babylon.

“I think this album will surprise a lot of people due to its classic metal sound but with such majestic arrangements throughout,” says vocalist David Fefolt, “The melodic power on this album is definitely a force to be reckoned with!"

The music runs the gamut between progressive new metal to the roots of classic old school heavy metal with every member of the band at the top of his musical genre.
