Making their debut in 2015, the (mostly) European metal band Level 10 features a few familiar faces. While not quite stepping up to the true supergroup mantle, with its coming together of members from Symphony X, Masterplan, Primal Fear and Sinner, the band includes personnel that should be more than familiar to hard rock fans.

Cancer Bats announce dates for 2015 tour
Hardcore punk/metalcore band Cancer Bats have confirmed a huge run of dates for a 2015 tour. Stretching from March until May, the Canadian band will visit various countries with Until She Sleeps and Exalt. All confirmed dates are listed below.
Corrosion of Conformity: UK tour dates
Following the return of vocalist/guitarist Pepper Keenan, Corrosion of Conformity went back into the studio. A new album is due at some point this year.
Before that, the band return to the UK for a short run of dates in March:
March 07 Manchester, UK Academy 2
March 08 Glasgow, UK Garage
March 09 Nottingham, UK Rescue Rooms
March 11 Bristol, UK Bierkeller
March 12 Colchester, UK Arts Centre
March 13 London, UK Electric Ballroom
The band’s last studio album, ‘IX’, was released in 2014.
Yngwie Malmsteen box set imminent
February 2015 sees the release of ‘Now Your Ships Are Burned’, a four CD anthology of work recorded by Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen. The set covers his years with Polydor Records from 1984-1990.
The set will be a domestic budget priced reissue of the previously Japanese only collection which included the first six albums. Like similar sets from Saxon (‘The Carrere Years’) and Tangerine Dream (‘The Virgin Years’), the length of the albums is such that six releases can easily be condensed into a 4CD package.
Volume 4: Black Earth (A Real Gone Sampler)
It’s become somewhat of a tradition at Real Gone to round up tunes we’ve enjoyed throughout the year and then share them in the hope of opening some new ears for independent bands. 2014 is no different – in fact, this year, we’ve got two samplers together!
This first instalment is a testament to the amount of great metal that’s passed through Real Gone Towers during 2014.
Ten tracks, fifty six minutes, riffs aplenty. Crank the volume and enjoy!
