ASIAN TYPHOON "X.Y.Z.-A wings"
IN STORES MARCH 18TH!
CAT NMR-372
UPC 734923004820

As the founding vocalist of LOUDNESS, Minoru Niihara is well-known as one of Japan’s top heavy metal exports. Through tours with the likes of AC/DC and Motley Crue, LOUDNESS stood out from the metal masses with unforgettable MTV hits like "Crazy Nights" and "Let It Go." Niihara left the band in the late 1980s to pursue a new sound, eventually winding up in X.Y.Z.->A with legendary Japanese guitarist Fumihiko Kitsutaka.

Re-titled "Asian Typhoon" for the North American market, Niihara and Kitsutaka are joined in X.Y.Z.->A by virtuoso bassist Tatsuhiko Wasada and acclaimed drummer/producer Funky Sueyoshi. The quartet formed in 1999 and has since put out 6 albums, 6 singles, and 2 DVDs. Featuring heavy-hitters like "Heavy Road" and For Whom The Bell Tolls," WINGS is the band’s first North American release. WINGS shows the band at its heaviest yet also its most melodic with Kitsutaka’s shredding still on full display.

In addition to his work with Kitsutaka and crew, Niihara recently released "Ashes To Glory" -- his first solo album -- as produced by Wynn Davis of Guns N’ Roses fame. He also re-joined LOUDNESS, who in 2006 did their first U.S. tour in more than 15 years. Although it would be impossible to predict the future, one can only assume that Minoru Niihara will continue to sing his trademark high-pitched wails for many years to come.

1) Heavy Road
2) A Man Has Captured the Sun
3) I love Rock and Roll Life
4) Screamers
5) I am Addicted to You

WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE!




SIX MINUTE CENTURY - "Time Capsules" (Features Don Lafon - guitarist of KRUCIBLE)
STREET DATE -MARCH 18TH
NMR-362 / 734923004929


Six Minute Century is a power/prog metal band from Houston, Texas. Formed in the summer of 2004, the band has become one of the top power/prog metal bands in the area. Lead by guitarist Don LaFon (Krucible, Mystic Cross, Logan), the band, which also features John Sample on bass and Darren Davis (Outworld) on drums, fuses a mixture of power/prog metal with the groove of more southern style metal. Add to the band the soaring vocal melodies of Chuck Williams and you get a musical sound in the vein of Savatage / Dio / Kamelot, with the vocal style of Fates Warning / Dream Theater / TNT. While all members of Six Minute Century are technically proficient, the band does not fit the category of a band that tries to impress with how many notes they can play. Rather Six Minute Century prefers to write songs with melody, hooks, passion and groove that will appeal to a wider audience than many of today’s progressive metal bands. Chuck Williams writes many lyrics about historical events to accompany Don LaFon’s musical orchestrations. Six Minute Century’s debut release, “Time Capsules”, brings the listener into such events as The Iraq War, The Oklahoma City bombing, and the life of the legendary Martin Luther King Jr., as well as other non historical stories. “Time Capsules” is set for a Spring release on Nightmare Records.
