We at Nightmare in an effort to expidite getting promos out for review and to radio stations now offers a new digital service. we don't have all of our releases up as yet, but will have very soon. Please see the message below:
Dear media partner,
with this mail we would like to introduce the launch of our new digital music promotion & service tool CONNECTING MUSIC. We take advantage of the new possibilities and chances of the digital technology and we offer free EPKs (Electronic Press Kits) including watermarked mp3 files, high resolution cover artwork and press pictures.
You belong to a group of selected people to receive promotional copies in advance to the official release date. We know that some of you still prefer getting physical promo copies but due to the fact that there are people selling promo copies on the internet, second hand shops or to illegal download shops long before the official release dates, lots of labels switch to the digital promotion to avoid the loss of sales!
Still, we will not completely give up sending out physical albums as we usually have a certain quantity of hard copies for media partners who feed us with reviews, stories, airplay, etc. Music business is tough these days so all we wish is a successful hand-in-hand co-operation!
Please visit www.connecting-music.eu to get more information about our service and fill in the registration form to get your login files to the download portal.

TAZ TAYLOR BAND - Straight Up / release: 27.03.2009
The new TAZ TAYLOR BAND album is delivering high profile hard rock / classic rock and is featuring Keith Slack ( Steelhouse Lane , MSG) on lead vocals. Birmingham born Hard Rock guitarist TAZ TAYLOR debuted with the solo album 'Caffeine Racer', recorded with drummer Calvin Lakin at Blitz Recording Studios in San Diego in the spring of 2004. Subsequently, Taylor forged THE TAZ TAYLOR BAND, signing to Escape Music for the 2006 album 'Welcome To America'. These sessions included lead vocals from the high profile figure of ex-RAINBOW, ALCATRAZZ and MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP singer GRAHAM BONNET alongside bassist Dirk Krause, keyboard player Bob Miller and drummer Don Allevato. So how do you follow on from Graham? Enter Keith Slack a vocalist and frontman that has already proved his worth with solo recordings and from his time with MSG and Steelhouse Lane (with Mike Slamer). So how does he compare, well Keith has an uncanny rasp in his vocals that bears a resemblance to Graham but he sounds really fresh and his style suits the fearsome riffs and licks that Taz turns out with apparent ease .

SHENANIGANZ - Open Your Eyes Or Cover Your Head / release: 03.04.2009
Put your furniture in the garage, mask all sharp edges and bring the dog to the neighbours! This band has knocked every head and shook every hip yet! Shenaniganz let the 70s rockheroes sound in a newer way. The underground sensation thrills a wide audience range. The barely bold rockheads get hair to their shoulders again The young and the young at heart love their energetic attitude! Their sound is described best with the words of their song we are the underground: Drumkit hits you like a fist in your mouth! Guitarstrings, ringing like theyd never let you down! Bass so fat it makes you squat on the ground! F**k all the mainstream We are the underground. Thats how you imagine rocknroll, thats the way it has to be and this is how the insider tip converts numerous concertgoers. With an unbelievable presence on stage and an apparently never-ending stamina the Shenaniganz rock it like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and Jet but cant basically be compared. From catchy hooklines over refrains to scream along or unexpected brakes and fast speedchanges to melody-loaded guitarparts and guitarsolos comes everything what the listenes can ask for.
MELY - Portrait Of A Porcelain Doll / release: 03.04.2009
Mely are back with their 4th full length studio-album! The new album Portrait of a porcelain doll was produced by Mely and Mario Lochert. It has all what a modern highclass dark rock/metal album needs, powerful, progressive and melodic riffing, an overall dark ambient without losing focus on pretty ass-kicking hooklines. Thats what Mely stand for and work hard for. A must have for each Dark Rock/Metal Fan!
69 CHAMBERS War Of The Inside / release: 24.04.2009
The debut album War On The Inside" from the rock-/metal-trio "69 Chambers" with frontwoman Nina Treml on guitar and vocals, bass player Maddy Madarasz and drummer Michi Brugger, was produced by Tommy Vetterli (Coroner, Kreator). Its a high-quality production with a powerful sound, heavy dropped guitars and unique vocals that sing unusual yet catchy melodies. The musical influences seem clear, but you cant really compare "69 Chambers" with any other band.
EMERGENCY GATE Rewake / release: 23.01.2009
This is German Melodic Death Metal at its best, This cd has it all, powerfull guitars, fantastic solos, vocals from hell and the bass and drums are very tight with each other. if you like great melodic death metal this is your cd to get NOW. Heavy riffs and melodical refrains build a masterpiece. In the south of europe Emergency Gate is titeled German In Flames or German Killswitch Engage. Recommended if you like In Flames, Sentenced, Children of Bodom, Killswitch Engage, Sentenced. With the amount of energy, freshness and spirit that these talented young musicians put into their music, it's only a matter of time before Emergency Gate get their big break.
IVANHOE - Lifeline / release: 26.09.2008
The music will speak for itself - and the world should come to know of it!
By 2008, Ivanhoe have turned into substantially more than the "German answer to Dream Theater. This is how the band was hailed by many magazines in the 1990s. Ivanhoe's sophisticated and tantalizing songwriting helps them create a unique universe of sound. After decades of making music together, Ivanhoe have dug to the depths of their souls to come up with fascinating and surprising musical moments and melodies, touching the heart of any real music enthusiast.
On their latest and greatest album so far, the six musicians have distilled all their musical influences into a diverse range of songs and styles - from remarkably straight to experimental crossover. Every Metalhead will find their pick in there, regardless of whether they favour the likes of Iron Maiden, Metallica, Queensryche or Dream Theater. Invaluable!
Thanks for your attention and hope for a successful co-operation!
Kindest regards,
Sebastian Eder
