EXXPLORER - Vengeance Rides An Angry Horse

[Pavlos]

You are awesome.

I know.

[Sgt. Kuntz]

Wow, i didn't expect a song as good as "As The Crow Fly". Really, really promising and the vocals are superb!

The guitar and drum sound could be a bit more 80s sounding though.

Thanks for the previews and best luck with your album! EXXPLORER = amazing band!

Thank you so much, we really appreciate your kind words. Hopefully you will feel the same about the rest of the record. We are never going away from the sound of Symphonies of Steel or Recipe for Power again. We love Pure Power Metal, and that's what we write and play the best. Metal on and greetings from Exxplorer

The samples convince completely. At last an 80's band that knows their roots. Sounds to me as the album of the year could come out of the Exxplorer camp. And that is simply a big surprise after all those years of waiting....

Edit1: Hab´mal den Thread ins HM Universum gezaubert & den Titel geändert

Edit2: Finde den Song gar nicht mal so schlecht

Total unlogische "Produktion", aber der Song als Song ist echt gut! Sehr schön!

Ja, die Produktion ist echt komisch, aber das Lied ist super.
Den anderen Titel fand Ich dagegen etwas lahm.

Ahhhhhh. Please understand. The production is only DEMO right now. Not the correct sound, mixing or mastering yet. Maybe it's a mistake, but we have been very excited to share the new songs.

You´re absolutely right!!

I was already surprised by the KIT-Gig. And the new songs sound very promising, too. Hope, that some vocal-harmonies will be corrected (some sound a little disharmonic), but for a demo-production all in all it sounds well yet.
Great!

[Boris the Enforcer]

Great Song! This seems to go back to the roots and will not be another ColdBlackUgly.
I am really looking forward to the release of the album.

[Fred Exxplorer Axe]

Thank you for that. Yes, we wanted to go back to the roots of Exxplorer. We are not TRYING to write a certain way anymore, like we did on that CD. Now we are writing songs that EXXPLORER likes, instead of worrying about what record companies or radio stations think, and thinking about how the music has changed. We feel that honesty will come through in the music. This CD/Album will be NOTHING like the third CD.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

EXXPLORER REUNITES AND SIGNS TO RAGE ON STAGE MANAGEMENT.

Exxplorer was formed during the height of the 80’s metal scene in New Jersey. The band has been regarded as one of the most original heavy metal bands of that era. Their first Album, Symphonies of Steel, has been recognized for well over twenty years as one of the most innovative and influential heavy metal albums of all time. The album topped the charts in several countries for overall import sales and appeared at the top of hundreds of radio play lists throughout Europe, and in many of what were still then considered communist countries. Meanwhile the band continued to create momentum generated from their European success.

The band's second album, “A Recipe for Power”, was released in 1994. Although a period of time had passed between the first and second albums, the fans loved the new album for its blend of 80's progressive power metal, with a 90's edge, demonstrating their longevity as a band as the demand for music changed. Exxplorer continued on with their success and in 1997 was noticed by Atlantic Records producer Bruce Buchanan, who decided to work with the band on their 3rd album, “Cold Black Ugly”.

Exxplorer recently reunited with four of 1994’s original line up and in April 2009, they were invited to perform at the Keep it True Metal Festival in Germany. What happened next was beyond belief; a massive gathering of fans that have waited for years came out to show their loyalty and see this band live once again. This show of support gave Exxplorer an immediate invitation back to Germany to perform at the Headbangers Open Air Fest in July 2009 and again went over amazingly.

The overwhelming response has created huge demand for a new Exxplorer release and subsequent return dates to Europe are now in the works. The new Exxplorer album is due to be released in the spring of 2011. The band decided to seek the professional help of Frank James, of Rage On Stage Management. "We’re looking to pair Exxplorer up with another power metal band of the 90’s," says James. This bill should bring even more fans out of the woodwork throughout Europe.

A tour is being planned for late summer, 2011.
