Recap: Rockstar Mayhem Festival 2011

Posted on 17-Aug-11 01:08

The fourth annual Rockstar Mayhem Festival started the tour in San Bernardino, California at the San Manuel amphitheater. The location is well known for bringing the summer desert heat, dusty mosh pits, and bon fires at night. Sponsored by Jagermeister and Rockstar energy drink, the festival attracts thousands of people from across the country to see some of their favorite bands. This year Disturbed, Megadeth, Godsmack, Machine Head, In Flames, Hatebreed, and Trivium were performing on the main stage. On the two second stages that were placed side by side was the Jagermeister stage that had a rotating appearance of bands for the tour, on the San Bernardino stop the band Nihilist kicked things off bringing the energy to warm things up and get people awake. Along with Unearth, Kingdom of Sorrow, and Red Fang playing later in the day on the stage, the Revolver stage featured Suicide Silence, All Shall Perish, and Straight Line Stitch who created some of the best pits while the Metal Mulisha motor cross bikes flew through the air performing stunts to the band's music as they played.

Rockstar Mayhem Festival is a great way to see some of your favorite bands perform live, discover some new bands by exploring the grounds, buy some great merchandise then get it signed at the many different booths after the bands are done performing, and making some new friends that share the same passion that you do for music.

The heart and soul of Rockstar Mayhem festival, the fans!

Straight Line Stitch was performing songs from their new album entitled "Flight of our Lives" and lead singer Alexis was signing items for fans at the Revolver tent after their performance.

Suicide Silence gave fans the opportunity to get the unreleased CD "The Black Crown", both the regular and deluxe editions at the show and walked away with them signed.

Here is a sample track entitled “Your Creations”

 

09-Your Creations by SuicideSilence

For more information about Suicide Silence go to their website http://www.suicidesilence.net/ and make sure to purchase their new album.

Roadrunner record's Trivium kept the crowd alive with great fan interaction and an unforgettable performance.

Usually after the second stage is done everyone slowly migrates to the bathrooms, refills on food and drinks, and then gets ready for the main performances of the night.

Godsmack had an amazing performance with great classic songs, guitar solos, and the dueling drums session. Sully Erna even took some time out from the performance to interact with the crowd and let some things off of his chest that were bothering him on the first stop of the tour.

Disturbed has been in the industry for over thirteen years and still is an evolving band that can perform just as well in the studio as they can on stage in front of thousands of people.

Dethklok’s virtual band performances featured in the Adult Swim animated program Metalocalypse and on stage as a real band put on a great overall show that will have the crowd wanting more. The dark lighting on stage allowed the videography that was on the screens to promote the animations and storytelling that was happening.

We all will patiently wait for the announcement of dates and bands that will be participating in the 2012 Rockstar Mayhem Festival. Thank you everyone involved who made all the shows possible and for hospitality to allow us to be a part of it. See everyone next year.

amAya Spa – a Special Blend of Deep Meditation Music

Posted on 15-Aug-11 14:09
Ambient | Meditation | New Age | Spa

"amAya" in sanskrit means “The end of illusion” Peace, love and joy is the true state of being, everything else is an illusion. amAya is the fruition and collaboration of a deep and long friendship that has been tested to the hilt - where the journey has been extremely turbulent for both halves...

Niraj Naik and Dr Mrigank Mishra formed amAya in 2004 and it has now evolved into a creative outlet for their spiritually awakening music, sounds and meditations. From their own professional and personal experiences they have developed a great empathy for helping people who are long term sufferers of stress. They now produce music that takes the listener from the low energies of anger, frustration, tension, anxiety and depression to the higher energies of joy, peace and love for all.

Their second album "amAya Spa" are the sounds that resonate from the new amAya health spa located in the heart of the magical island of Langkawi, Malaysia. This is where the exquisite spa named after the band uses amAya's special blend of deep meditation music to provide novel sound therapy sessions for their clients in a setting that can only be described as paradise. The new album features 10 of their most uplifting meditation tracks featuring soothing soundscapes, intricate electronics, vocals and hypnotic guitars.

amAya Spa has four focus tracks for radio programming consideration; (1) Forgiveness, (2) Hydrascension, (3) Soul Space, and (4) The Island Sings, all available for you to tune into here. Enjoy!

Logical Drift remixes “Rain Queen of the Negev”

Posted on 27-Jul-11 22:37
Music Genre: New Age | World | Ambient | Meditation | Spa

Over the years, John Matarazzo of Logical Drift has worked on major records, and performed with popular acts (Blood Sweat & Tears, Bob Dylan, Ike & Tina Turner, Sly & The Family Stone, etc.) where he was then led to work on more conscious and spiritually driven projects helping to create pioneering recordings of ambient and electronica music (John Zorn, Jah Wobble, Mick Harris and Buckethead).

From the days of experimenting with psychological compositions and electronic music elements instituted by Karl Heinz Stockhausen and Pierre Boulez, Logical Drift remixes their newest single “Rain Queen of the Negev” with electronica/dance production, merging their talents within this genre with psychological dreamscapes and aural environments designed to evoke spiritual responses from the listener that may heighten the listener’s overall growth in spirituality.

Synthesizing sounds in acoustic laboratories, Matarazzo was able to develop a palette of unique and emotionally resonant sounds from simple sine wave generators overlaying harmonic spectrums and resonating filters that infused evocative and sensual aural landscapes and alternative worlds.

Combining his knowledge of ancient spiritual systems, psychoacoustics and aural imaging, he composed soundscapes that heighten the listeners’ sense of wellness and tranquility; stimulating the Chakra portals, thereby carrying the listener on a journey toward greater awareness and aliveness. His aim is to author music that will provide an important map for our wholeness and transformation, both personally and globally by opening the Chakra paths to enlightenment and integration.

You can download the “Rain Queen of the Negev” album version, along with the soothing sound of “Judean Desert” for free here.
