To say that December is already proving to be one that is loaded with information would be an understatement. Sure we are heading towards the closing of 2017, but bands are tossing out their 2018 plans out like crazy. This is a very good thing and if you’ve enjoyed the band Fozzy that is led by Chris Jericho then this will rock your senses too. Take a look at the press, the poster and the proposed dates. I’ll close out with additional editorial as well. Here we go.

The Press Release:
FOZZY, the active rock band led by Chris Jericho, will continue to rock their fans across America on their Judas Rising Tour with newly added tour dates in 2018. Set to launch February 28 in New Orleans, LA, the 25-date trek will take the band (Jericho: vocals, Rich Ward: guitars, vocals, Frank Fontsere: drums, Billy Grey: guitars and Paul DiLeo: bass) from east to west, including stops in Los Angeles on March 10 and New York City on April 5, before bringing them back across the country through the spring. Through Fire, Santa Cruz and Dark Star Choir will round out the bill for the night of rock headlined by FOZZY. Tickets for these newly announced dates (see below for list) go on sale to the public Friday, December 8.

“I’m stoked to do this extensive tour of the States now that ‘Judas,’ the song, is a Top 5 rock radio hit and Judas, the album, has gone top 40!” says Chris Jericho. “Fozzy is bigger than we’ve ever been, which means bigger production, bigger songs and bigger lighted jackets! So we can’t wait to rock your literal socks off starting in February!! JUDAS IS RISING!”

“I started playing guitar because of how deeply powerful the experience of going to concerts was for me,” Rich Ward adds. “With a hit single and a new album pushing Fozzy to new heights, I can’t wait to get back on the road in America to capture the power that only live music can create. Make sure to bring a helmet and your dancing shoes when Fozzy rolls through your town.”

The upcoming dates come on the heels of the October release of the band’s seventh album, JUDAS (Century Media), which Loudwire named as one of the top 25 albums of 2017, saying the band has continued “honing their craft and steadily improving. JUDAS is their most polished and fully realized album, and should be their most successful, as well.”

“Adrenaline Mob” by Adrenaline Mob

Artist: Adrenaline Mob
Title: “Adrenaline Mob”
Label: Independent Artist
Release Date: 8/9/2011
Genre: Heavy Metal
Rating: 4/5

Before we begin this little overview of the debut offering by Adrenaline Mob it’s important that you let go of any preconceived notions about its content based on the group’s membership roster. I lay this out in the open because when you look at their names on paper with Russell Allen (Symphony X), Mike Portnoy (former of Dream Theater) and Rich Ward (Stuck Mojo/Fozzy) you might be expecting some kind of stratospheric tour de force project and this is NOT that kind of band my friends. What it is to me is a type of Groove Metal band with a bit of an homage to the Traditional side and perhaps even a touch of Nu-Metal to it. Sadly I fear that I have just made some Progressive fans faint, but oh well. That cannot be helped since this will not be something up their alley at all. This is however the kind of music that more of your modern day Metal head is looking into because it is absolutely heavy from beginning to end and has sufficient enough flare to get the fists pumping and dare I say the adrenaline levels rising. It begins with “Psychosane” and we immediately can note the different register that Allen is singing in. There is solid drumming put out by Portnoy and I expected this much but do not look for intricate nuance and instead indulge yourself in the steady pounding. Joining Ward on lead guitar is Mike Orlando who might still be something of an unknown to many people who listen to Metal but I believe his participation in this group will change that. A solid track but I do tend to agree with those who say Mike P. should stick to the drums instead of taking a chance on the microphone solo. I was not all that keen on his vocal input in the tune while at the same time I loved the big chorus vibe we got in a few sections.
