Their album "Andel na uteku" (Angel on the Run) was released in 1990. It was recorded in Hannover, where both Czech and English version emerged. The frontmen of the group were Ladislav Krizek and Jaroslav Barton who participated in music creation to a great extent. For the album „Andel na uteku“ the group was awarded a Gold Disc. The next Gold Disc was awarded to them for an album called „Krizaci“ (Crusaders). Kreyson was met with great success in Germany and Japan in the 1990s. Lada Krizek (Vocalist) was invited by Running Wild to record two CDs. Ladislav Krizek has been awarded 1 Diamond and 6 Gold Discs,As Founder of KREYSON, the first white (Christian) metal group from the heart of Europe.“Hailing from Czechoslovakia, Kreyson is a professional band, which could hold on its own in the Hollywood circuit or anywhere else,(8 panel fold out digipak) The Czechoslovakian group, KREYSON, was founded by Ladislav Krizek (vocalist) in 1989, and became the first Christian metal group from the heart of Europe. The group released Czech and English versions of their first two releases Andel na Uteku (Angel On the Run - 1990) and the follow up Krizaci (Crusaders - 1991). For these classic releases the group was awarded Gold Records. Both Kreyson albums released in Germany (Flame Trader) and Japan (JVC) in the 1990s. With 20 Years of Kreyson, the band headed back into the studio and re-recorded 10 of their fan favorite classic tunes for their first ever North American release! Recent triumphs from the likes of Saxon, Ross the Boss and Impellitteri further the resurgence for true metal and, on 20 Years, KREYSON proves they can still strike the irons like the 90s never happened! This disc is a full on, fist in the air assault of power chords, polished guitar solos and searing vocal harmonies! In short, this is the type of release that not only gives 80's metal purists a reason to go out and buy new music, but allows the new breed of headbangers to march forward with pride! Let 20 Years serve as an important reminder that the majestic, melodic Classic Metal sound always prevails!!! (Enhanced disc with video of Saleeme) 10 tracksAbove the inscription and logo of KREYSON: there is the Hebrew letter “TAU”, which is the last word for a letter of the Hebrew alphabet and its shape resembles to the cross before the desk with Pilate’s inscription was nailed to it. He letter “TAU” is mentioned in the Old Testament already – when in a difficult time for the people of Israel the prophet Ezekiel accepts a command from God to cross Jerusalem and with the sign of “TAU” to mark foreheads of men who sigh and moan over all the falsities that are committed in it (Ezekiel 9,3-4). Thus, “TAU” is a sign of repentance, humility and turning to God for both an individual and people. Christians soon recognized a sign of the cross in it.(http://www.holymetalrob.com)

Symphonic Slam was mainly about Timo Laine (born in Finland, and moved to America as a child), and his Polyphonic Guitar Synthesizer. The rest of the band was filled out by Drummer John Lowery, and Keyboardist David Stone.Timo had been playing the club circuit for a while, but it wasn't until he relocated to Canada that things began to happen. It was there that Symphonic Slam was discovered by A&M Records. What set them apart was The $10,000 360 Systems Guitar Synthesizer prototype. This led to the release of their 1976 self-titled album.They toured, and played gigs with some of the big names of the time (Rush, The Rolling Stones, and the Village People). Soon they were asked to go to L.A. to work on a new album. Not being interested in this tack, Stone took the opportunity to defect to Rainbow.After the album was completed, A&M wasn't pleased (they wanted disco). Timo took it to Canada, and created his own label on which to release it. It had some modest success, but Laine wasn't interested in going back to L.A. to fight disco once again.Musea's 2001 re-release of the first album inspired Timo to get back on the horse. Apparently he had been working on another album for many years. "Her Fire" is supposed to be released some time in the future. He is also working on an instrumental solo project.You can hear some influences of Styx, Kansas, Wakeman, Emerson, a bit of E.L.O., and even some funk. However, this is not like most of what we consider to be the classic '70s progressive sound. Some of those qualities are woven in, and there are some lovely moments. But make no mistake, this is mid 70's rock and roll at the core. The main point of interest here is really the fact that Laine basically pioneered the synth guitar. It was a very new thing at the time.http://timolainemusic.com/home.html.
Symphonic Slam, PKA Timo Laine.Timo Laine, the groups founder has Become Known As the Father of the Guitar Synthesizer. In addition to being A Master Guitarist, Timo has applied his talents into expanding the Guitar into Guitar Synthesizer Technology. His new CD, Her Fire, reflects the long awaited results. Much earlier in Timo's career, he released an album with A&M Records worldwide. The recording ended up as being the first major guitar Synthesizer Work. The album was called "Symphonic Slam."Timo has performed with acts such as the Rolling Stones, BB King, Tina Turner, Rush, and Chuck Berry, to Name A Few.Today, on the "Her Fire" CD, Les Carlsen, Former lead Singer and Dancer For the Musical "Hair" and more recently, "Bloodgood" sings many of the Lead Vocals. He also fronts the Band In Live performance. Noe Cruz, Timo's Bass man since the early years, performs with an aggressive edge on this work. Noe replaced Jimmy Haslip, during the production of the SSII album in the eighties. Jimmy, since then, went on to form the group Yellow Jackets. Bob Winn plays the Roland V-Drums on "Her Fire". Guest artist include: Mike Meucci, Mark Vaughn, Dennis Brown, and Larry Class.For anyone interested in the older releases, Musea Records acquired the rights from Universal Records, to re-issued the first Symphonic Slam album as a cd in 2002 world wide(http://www.holymetalrob.com/)

BIOGRAPHY:Walk The Sky is a new band that plays old-school melodic hard rock like it was made back in the 80s and they don't follow any trends. I was really surprised how good this album sounded with a bombastic production, truly an album for those that miss the good old days with bands like Dokken and Stryper.Walk The Sky makes no apologies about the kind of music they play. Lightning guitar riffs, bombastic drums, melodic vocal harmonies and driving bass abound on their debut CD. From the opening riff of “Castles in the Sand”, to the brilliant vocal harmonies on the cover of the Touch classic “Don’t You Know What Love Is”, to the fading feedback of “Love Comes Down”, they never let up with the rich guitar tone and catchy melodies.It began as the brainchild of Guitarist Rick Hunter-Martinez from the ashes of Regime and Soldier, ‘80’s bands that Rick felt “the material was just too good to forget about”. With a few gems from his previous bands and many new tunes as well, Rick and Drummer Jeff Lemas began crafting what would become this new CD. They enlisted the help of Rick’s old high school pal and studio virtuoso Tom Young, owner and president of Mohair Productions Studio. Tom says “Come on over guys and let’s make a CD!” Rob Bonstin, fresh from recording the first PRESS CD at Mohair, was then recruited for vocal duties. “I was honored to be involved”. What followed can only be described as magic. After several months of recording at Mohair, Rick and Jeff took on the dubious task of mixing these songs at Final Mix Studios with Don Budd (Strata). World renowned Mastering Engineer, Ken Lee (Queen, U2, Eric Clapton), was then brought in to put the finishing touches on the disc. Heavy, melodic, bluesy and always catchy, Walk The Sky’s music is reminiscent of West Coast commercial hard rock bands of the ‘80’s with a hint of 70’s. Dominant is Rick’s lightning guitar virtuosity in this Guitar-heavy music. Jeff’s Grums as part of the mighty rhythm section are tight and keep the engine running. Dave Scott’s versatile bass playing fits right into the mix and grooves right along with Jeff. Rob Bonstin’s Vocals are in the upper range and are always melodic with lots of harmony in the background. The lyrics are heartfelt and sincere. Hooks abound in the songs and go from heavy, shredding riffs into bluesy grooving with a few moments of clean, slow balladry. Fans of fist-in-the-air anthems and infectious melodies will not bedisappointed.Melodic/Commercial/Heavy/Hard/AOR Rock w/Lightning guitar riffs, bombastic drums, melodic vocal harmonies and driving bass abound is Walk The Sky. Their music is reminiscent of West Coast commercial hard rock bands of the 80’s, with a hint of 70’s.It began as the brainchild of Rick Hunter-Martinez from the ashes of Regime and Soldier, ˜80’s bands that Rick felt “the material was just too good to forget about”. Rick decided some songs needed to be given the full studio treatment and recruited the drum duties of his good friend Jeff Lemas. With a few gems from his previous bands and many new tunes as well, Rick and Jeff began crafting what would become this new CD. They enlisted the help of Rick’s old high school pal and studio virtuoso Tom Young, owner and president of Mohair Productions Studio. California's Walk The Sky is guitar wizard Rick Hunter-Martinez, drummer Jeff Lemas, singer Rob Bonstin and bass player Tom Young-owner/president of Mohair Productions Studio. The new CD is a self titled, financed, and produced piece of old school inspired US Hard Rock/Metal at its best. A lot of praise to the entire WTS camp! WTS's excellent singer Rob is reminiscent of Tom Malicoat(Lethal), Michael Sweet(Stryper) and Steven Patrick(Holy Soldier). Also excellent are the Great Bass lines and stunning drum sections. The guitar duties by Rick Hunter-Martinez gave me thrills.His fretboard racing, flashiness, professionalism, and over the top quality guitar shredding takes my breath away. Walk The Sky's debut album is a wonderful item, and that's a statement coming straight from my heart! Melodic all over in the vein of Lethal, Holy Soldier, Fifth Angel, Stryper, and Sacred Warrior. A bluesy touch brings some variety and that's nice! Walk The Sky's debut is a blend of genius, old school inspired US Hard Rock/Metal music full of brilliant elements. What I've heard is music that hits me real deep. Walk The Sky surprised me right away and deserve a place on top of my favourite US Hard Rock/Metal bands. An independent release with such great talent on board, it's time for some people to open up their eyes and gives these guys a fair chance signing a record deal quickly, i mean real fast. Thumbs in the air for Walk The Sky(http://www.holymetalrob.com)
