Renowned rock band The Dead Daisies and Blackstar Amplification, leading manufacturer of guitar amplifiers, proudly announce their new partnership. Band members Doug Aldrich, Michael Devin and David Lowy look forward to being powered by Blackstar Amps for all their live shows. This exciting venture coincides with the recent announcement of their highly anticipated upcoming 2023 world tour supporting the release of their “Best Of” Album.

"We're incredibly excited to be working with The Dead Daisies and helping power their sound across the globe. They're an incredibly exciting band composed of world-class musicians, making this partnership a natural fit," says James Evans, Product Category Manager at Blackstar Amps. The band members are equally thrilled about the amplifiers, with iconic Rock guitarist extraordinaire Doug Aldrich expressing his enthusiasm, stating: “Everyone knows the range is extremely strong but it’s not until you play them yourself that you know how badass they are. It’s all in the feel. The HTStage 100 in particular is an all-round beast of an amp! It can cover basically anything from buttery clean tones to the ballsiest sound you have ever heard.”

Michael Devin (of Whitesnake fame) joins The Dead Daisies for the first time and embarks on this new musical chapter. Michael chose Blackstar Amplification's Unity Elite range of bass amplifiers to fuel his performances. Michael states: "Blackstar amps pack a mean punch... lots of tonal options for a bassist in a rock band!" His endorsement of Blackstar Amplification is a testament to the brand's exceptional quality and versatility, perfectly complementing his dynamic style and musical vision. The Dead Daisies guitarist, David Lowy had this to say: “I’m really loving Blackstar, its tone is big, fat, and round...rock like it’s supposed to sound”.

Fans will have the opportunity to witness A Decade Of Rock and electrifying performances, with the incomparable front man John Corabi returning to the fold with band mates Doug, David, Brian and Michael. Powered by their new Blackstar Amps, The Daisies head out on a tour across America, Canada, Japan, and Europe from August this year.

American Hard Rock band Artifas was formed in 2011 in Jackson, TN by lead guitarist Cody Criswell and lead vocalist Scottie Somerville. In the months following, the two founders of the group would immediately recruit an assortment of hometown musicians and begin looking to record their debut EP. After having a long and ugly encounter that resulted in the theft of all the bands funds and receiving no album in return, the original incarnation of the group would spend 2012-2013 doing several independent tours and writing music. After debuting with their EP Enemy Inside in 2013 and doing numerous regional/national tours in support of it, the band replaced former members with guitarist Mikey Miller, bassist Anthony Mattox, and drummer Jared Wainscott.

With almost two years of touring with the new lineup under their belts, Artifas inked themselves a record deal and hit the studio to make their first full length album. The 2015 release of the title track, “Inhuman,” would bring the band some commercial success, reaching # 32 on Billboard’s Active Rock chart and sending the band on the road in support of their new album. The band landed tours with established artists like Theory of a Deadman, Shamans Harvest, Pop Evil, Saint Asonia, Aranda, and others. The follow up single from that record, “Blood 4 Blood”, would later get picked up by the World Series of Fighting and subsequently land a feature in the UFC movie “Fight Valley”. The band parted ways with their record label in 2016, and remained on tour throughout the US for most of the following year, also traveling internationally for the first time with the likes of Papa Roach, Hoobastank, P.O.D., Trapt, and Sick Puppies to play for our American Troops.

Multiple tour cycles later, Artifas found themselves back in the studio making new music. The band worked with multiple writers and producers throughout the entirety of 2018, but would ultimately only find themselves frustrated with the recordings that resulted. After a soul search within the group, Artifas elected to embrace their own vision and write/produce their next album independently, free from the creative overreach of outside influence.

After two years of writing, recording, and mixing, Artifas has completed the new album, and plans to unleash it upon the world. With catchy guitar riffs, dizzying drums, and soaring melodies, Reflections will send you on an emotional journey, exploring the band’s semi-prog, radio rock sound while diving deeper into the human complex with lyrics centered around self awareness and the bands own struggles with mental health. The goal for the creation of this album was to make a record that met the band’s expectations and you can rest assured they held nothing back. Mixed and Mastered by Forrester Savell (Twelve Foot Ninja, Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus), Reflections promises to wow you with musical prowess, all the while delivering Artifas’ important message on unity, inspiration, and the sempiternal battle between dark and light.
