_ Red Cat Records is very proud to announce the brand new partnership with Acid Brains and the incoming release of their fourth full length “Maybe” in  September 2012. The album was recorded at  by Gherardo Monti and Giacomo Luporini, mixed by Gherardo Monti (Larione10-Fi, Decibel Recording studio) and mastered by Tommy Bianchi (Marlene Kuntz, Piero Pelù) at White Sound Mastering studio (Firenze, Italy).

The new album “Maybe” moves between rock, grunge, the stoner, punk and alternative in general, but willing to try a more modern sound, "different," and of being influenced by more and more contamination (from post punk / metal to dark, brit from the noise to "pop"): the intention is to "entertain" the listener and to reverse some cliché by now fed up a bit 'all!

REGION:
COUNTRY: ITALY
GENRE: METALCORE / HARDCORE

This is a new initiative set out by the Global Metal Apocalypse team in attempt to exploit and promote fresh underground unsigned talent to the masses. Every so often (possibly weekly) an unsigned band will be plucked out of the abyss and showcased, and so for this week it is Shake Well Before from Italy.
_Shake Well Before is a Metalcore / Hardcore band from Italy which formed in 2008. The project started with the recording of their first 3-track promo. With the video "This Butterfly Is A Dragon" the word of this Italian stallion was soon spread. After a few important concerts (sharing the stage with bands like Adept, Hand To Hand, Hopes Die Last, Post Offense, More Than A Thousand, The Dead Lay Waiting and many more) the quintet won a regional contest as the "best young band" in 2009. In the same year the band went on to record their very first self-produced EP called "Rational Painkillers Pills" during a trip in Munich,Germany and all 500 copies were sold.

Through a few line-up changes the band changed their style as well and had a rebirth. The first serious single "Watching Jersey Shore" has been out since october 2011 was recorded by Marco Mantovani (Hopes Die Last) as a taster to the EP. The EP called "Goliath" was recorded at the Fusix Studio by Andrea Fusini, well-known to the Italian music scene and released on March 2012. "Insomnia" was the first single taken of the EP with a video directed by Andrea Larosa on youtube which can be viewed here. Right now the band is promoting "Goliath" and working on brand new stuff!

_ After building a huge underground fan base with their self-titled debut, Athlantis' new record shows greater strength. Besides the sensational vocals by Jack Spider and high class guitar skills from Pier Gonella, it's their very own melodic, but still powerful style that makes duplicity.

The album was produced by Pier Gonella himself at the Studio Music Art, in Rapalla (Italy), famous for albums like "Mastercastle" or "Odyssea".

After a few years' break, the Italians are back with a vendetta and complete new line up, with drummer Enry Sydoz and singer Jack Spider.  

"M.W.N.D." is a labyrinth full of power, melody, emotions and slick heaviness. Fans of bands like Labyrinth, Shadows Of Steel, Vision Divine, Helloween or Gamma Ray will enjoy it.

Limited IceWarrior Edition with exclusive bonus track!

A&R "Worm" stated:

"no bla bla bla at this time...We wanted and chased a band like this worldwide, for a long time. Now we found it and I am not sure it's just a case that we found it in Norway. Angerman are what we
really wanted to sign in terms of music quality, target and sound to demonstrate that we are not only an extreme label but we can work with productions that could fit the mass market and wider audience. Listen to the demo I got and understand why I signed them...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18WPaMXz6Hg&feature=youtu.be Also, after a day and night together I understood that these guys are true and I really loved the way they are. No frills this time, just Angerman and a dream come true, thank you Norway, once again!!!"
