Outloud release their third album “Let’s Get Serious” through AOR Heaven on 26th May. The band can trace its roots back to Athens in 2004, though their first album “We’ll Rock You To Hell and Back Again” wasn’t released until 2009. Like most bands, there have been a series of line-up changes but Bob Katsionis (guitars and keyboards) and Chandler Mogel (vocals) have remained at the core throughout. Katsionis is probably best known as a member of Greek band Firewind, whilst Mogel from the USA is an exceptional singer who has appeared in a number of bands including Talon.

Absolva release their second studio album “Anthems to the Dead” on Rocksector Records on 5th May. This follows the release of the live album and DVD “Beyond Live” last year. Their debut album “Flames of Justice” from 2012 has received a fair bit of play on the NI Rocks Shows and we’ve already featured tracks from the new album, so you can expect to hear more on future shows! It’s been said that the second album can be the most difficult for a band, but Absolva have definitely delivered the goods with “Anthems to the Dead”.
