SEVEN WITCHES TO RELEASE CAREER-SPANNING COLLECTION BEST OF THE WITCH OCTOBER 30 THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT

Seven Witches, the acclaimed American heavy metal and power metal band founded in 1998 by guitarist Jack Frost (Savatage, Lizzy Borden, Aldo Nova) and vocalist Bobby Lucas, will release the definitive career-spanning collection Best of the Witch on October 30 through Deko Entertainment.

Known for their powerful blend of traditional heavy metal, power metal, and melodic hard rock, Seven Witches quickly built a loyal following with albums including Second War in Heaven (1999), City of Lost Souls (2000), and Xiled to Infinity and One (2002).

Over the years, the band featured an impressive roster of musicians, including vocalists Wade Black (Crimson Glory), James Rivera (Helstar), and Alan Tecchio (Hades), while Frost remained the band's driving force and sole constant member. Their catalog includes fan favorites such as Passage to the Other Side, Year of the Witch, Call Upon the Wicked, and The Way of the Wicked, securing Seven Witches' place as one of America's most respected power metal acts.

Now, Best of the Witch brings together highlights from across the band's extensive catalog in a collection personally curated by Jack Frost. This definitive 2-CD set has been completely remastered, delivering the power, precision, and intensity of Seven Witches like never before.

As Frost explains:
"I'm thrilled to see this Best Of record being put out by DEKO... 27 years in the making, I'm so proud of every one of these albums and to see my dream turned into reality through the success of Witches. I'm beyond thankful for all the incredible musicians that have been involved with Seven Witches, and I truly hope that everyone enjoys this landmark release as much as I do. It's been an honor to work with everyone over the years and now to have this coming out for the fans who have stuck by me for this long. I'm still pinching myself and can't believe that I'm seeing almost 30 years of my work compiled into one amazing collection."

LED BY VULTURES RELEASES LATEST SINGLE “WAVES“. FULL-LENGTH DEBUT ALBUM TO ARRIVE AUGUST 28TH THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT

Renowned drummer, vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Brian Tichy is stepping into the spotlight with his latest musical venture, Led By Vultures, an explosive new band blending raw intensity, arena-sized hooks, uncompromising musicianship, and a fresh vision for modern hard rock.

Known for his powerhouse performances alongside some of rock’s most legendary artists, Tichy now takes center stage as the driving creative force and frontman behind Led By Vultures. The project marks a bold evolution in his career, fusing crushing riffs, thunderous rhythms, melodic aggression, and emotionally charged songwriting into a sound that is both timeless and urgent.

Drawing inspiration from the spirit of classic hard rock while pushing into fresh sonic territory, Led By Vultures delivers music built on unapologetic energy, powerful storytelling, and the electrifying chemistry that comes from decades of experience at the highest levels of rock performance.

The band's latest single, “Waves,” showcases a more melodic and reflective side of Tichy’s songwriting. As he states, “Waves” is a song I’ve had for a long time. It’s a metaphorical idea about trying to find contentment as we travel through life. I had this “Floydian / Zeppish” chord progression I was messing with on an acoustic guitar tuned to open C. My bud Derek Sherinian who co-wrote and played keyboards on it, heard me messing with it, dug it, and said, “that needs The Pipes of Pan!” He immediately came up with the first flute lines. I answered that with the arpeggiated guitar line and a rotary effect. From there we knew the chorus should get big and anthemic.”

Watch the music video for “Waves” Below:

Tichy continues, “We wrote the bridge for the guitar solo with the intent of taking you on a little majestic trip, away from the repetitive, hypnotic nature of the rest of the song. When I started making the Led By Vultures record, Derek brought Waves up as a contender. I instantly agreed and re-recorded it. It’s nice to have seen this song through! The video was shot at El Matador Beach in Malibu by Keita Hagiwara, who also shot the second Led By Vultures video, “Massivity.” We ended up with an overcast day but I think in the end it worked out.”

The self-titled debut album from Led By Vultures arrives on August 28, 2026, delivering a dynamic collection of songs that capture the grit and fire of rock’s golden era while maintaining a distinctly modern edge. Fans can expect soaring vocals, blistering musicianship, and a relentless sonic attack designed to resonate with both longtime rock devotees and a new generation of listeners.

The album will be available on Limited Edition Purple Vinyl, CD, and digital formats. A special bundle featuring a personally signed 10" x 10" album flat by Brian Tichy will also be available in limited quantities.

ALBERT BOUCHARD'S IMAGINOS IV: RHYME OF THE STARCLOCK ARRIVES SEPTEMBER 25TH, AND THE FIRST SINGLE AND VIDEO, “FOUR WINDS BAR,” ARE AVAILABLE NOW

Albert Bouchard is best known as a founding member of Blue Öyster Cult, whose  original lineup sold millions of albums for Columbia Records and produced such  classics as "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" and the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart-topping  hit "Burnin' for You." Bouchard also contributed songwriting and lead vocals to some of  the band's most beloved tracks, including "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll." 

For decades, Bouchard has shepherded the Imaginos concept through its many  incarnations, transforming the feverish visions of Sandy Pearlman into a sprawling  musical narrative. The acclaimed Imaginos Trilogy brought together songs spanning  decades into a chronological tale of the ever-changing shapeshifter known as Imaginos. 

Now, the story continues with Imaginos IV: Rhyme Of The Starclock, inspired by a  treasure trove of previously undiscovered writings from Pearlman. 

As Bouchard explains: "After Mutant Reformation, I thought I was done with Imaginos. Those who bought the previous three Imaginos records might have thought the same  thing. Then a cache of Sandy Pearlman's writings was discovered when they sold his  house. Out of the thousand or so pages there were at least 28 song lyrics that were  never recorded. Most of those related directly to the Imaginos saga. Over the past 12  months I have recorded more than 20 of those songs. This new record contains 11 of  them, only one of which was known to me before. I am very excited to bring brand-new  material to this epic story." 

Imaginos IV: Rhyme Of The Starclock will be released on September 25th through Deko  Entertainment. The first single, "Four Winds Bar," inspired by a lyric from the Blue  Öyster Cult classic "Astronomy," was written by Joe Bouchard and Sandy Pearlman and  features Blue Coupe. 

Watch the video below: 

The album is available now for pre-order and features an impressive lineup of guest  musicians, including Ross the Boss Friedman, Joe Cerisano, Keith Roth, RJ Ronquillo,  Sandy Hall, Lenny Kaye, and Jack Rigg. 

Pre-order your copy of Imaginos IV: Rhyme Of The Starclock today and secure one of  the limited-edition bundles while supplies last.

Products Include: 
1 Imaginos IV- Rhyme Of The Starclock Swirl Vinyl

OUT TODAY ESCAPE THE HIVE FEATURING VOCALIST MICHAEL THOMAS BECK IS BACK WITH THEIR BRAND NEW ALBUM FIGHT OR FLIGHT OUT NOW WORLDWIDE THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT

Escape The Hive is an original 70s style hard rock band. No tracks. No samples.  Old school style riffs and harmonies. With a sound and fury reminiscent of the arena rock bands of that era. Featuring one time Jake E. Lee vocalist for Red Dragon Cartel, Michael Thomas Beck and Grammy Nominated and guitarist Conrad Varela, drummer Rich Hinshaw & former DL Marble bassist Paul Williams. 

They released their debut “This Is Gonna Sting” in 2023 to critical acclaim. Then hit the road playing with acts like Angel, Burning Witches, Faster Pussycat, Gene Loves Gezabel and many more. Relentlessly touring the US to promote it. One crowd at a time. They amassed 130k views for their single/video, ”I Can See It”. They are now looking forward to the release of their new record Fight or Flight. As Beck states, “This new record is the next evolution for Escape The Hive. A bit heavier, a little bluesier and we can't wait for everyone to hear the new songs. We are SO exited to have our new release out on Deko Entertainment. Thank you to all the members of The Hive who have waited patiently. Hoping you dig it!”. Hinshaw continues, “Hope the passion that went into this new record comes across! It's been a great ride so far. Here's to waking up! And not spilling the wine.”

Fight or Flight has ten blistering new tracks including “Stings Like The Truth” and the first single “Around The Sun”, as Williams states about the new album, “This record means a lot to all of us in various ways. It’s decades in the making if you will. A true collaboration of many styles with the common goal of producing great music, with moving melodies and driving grooves designed to engage the listener and make ‘em ask for more.” Varela continues, “This record is the culmination of 4 lifelong musicians, thousands of miles on the road, and every fan that has supported us along the way coming to fruition. It's angrier, shreddier, and louder than our freshman release, and marks the beginning of a new era for Escape The Hive. We hope you love it just as much (if not more) than we do!”
