Editorial June it left with another sad loss for the world rock. It is in this occasion of Vinnie Paul, funder and drummer of Pantera & Hellyeah. Vinnie was 54 years old when in a sudden way he left the world of the alive ones to incorporate to the Olympus of the Rockers. Their death leaves other enormous hole for the world rock and another place difficult to replace. R.I.P VINNIE!! But good everything is not sad. Also for the scene Cuban rockera one comes good news. Finally after many years without an own place for the Cuban rock which served as diffusion platform and promotion of the rock bands in Cuba toward the world, this July 1st will be available for the whole world the new place of the rock in Cuba: the new Cuba Metal. As many Cuban rockeros it will remember during years Juan Raúl Salarrabia it maintained with enough difficulty the old one Cuba-Metal where could be modernized on the most novel in the Cuban rock. There we could find from biographies of bands, until reviews of disks and of festivals that take place for all the long and wide of this immense island. But for diverse reasons Juan Raúl decided to close this place and with that a great hole in the panorama Cuban rockero. But after several years a group of fanatic of the rock, in which include myself, decides re make the one Cuba Metal now under a new design visual and new benefits, what will be well received without doubts as much for the bands as for all the lovers of the rock in Cuba as well as for followers of other countries. Although the place will come out officially next Sunday 1ro of Julio the same one it has already had great acceptance in the social nets as well as you visit in the official page, this is thanks to a reduced group of people who it only want to put the rock very on high in Cuba, so much it stops ourselves as for the whole world. But I don't tell them more. If they want to see the place and to discharge the whole available content because starting from Julio 1st will already be available at world level. This without doubts is a small great step to take the scene Cuban rockera forward but that it constitutes a very important step. As always I tell them that they wait that they enjoy the content of this edition of summer of Metal for your Veins, the magazine 100% Cuban dedicated completely to the rock.

Hey Doug! How are you? I’m doing well thank you!! Let´s talk about with rock music?
your
childhood. What was
your
first
contact
Mostly on the radio I heard Deep Purple and JIMI Hendrix. They had hits at the time on the radio. Also I have two sisters and both of them had record players and some rock records. My older sister Jennifer had Jeff Beck and my younger sister had Kiss. My fave was Jeff Beck Blow By Blow. Then I heard Led Zeppelin 2. That was awesome. Why did you choose the guitar as your favorite musical instrument? I don’t know. I just loved it. I loved the sound and the creativity that it gave me. What are your main influences? Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Hendrix, Gary Moore, Blackmore, Iommi, Edward Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Stevie Ray Vaughn etc.. In 2002 you entered to Whitesnake until 2014. How represented for you being in the band for 12 años? It was an amazing time for me and very much thanks to Ronnie James Dio. We made a record and toured a lot in 2002. I loved working with Ronnie but then
David Coverdale asked me to tour for a few months... David and I made some great times from the beginning. Finally we wrote a lot of music that we were very proud of. The final song we write together was “Forevermore”. What caused that you left the band in014? I had to focus my attention on my son in 2014 and I really needed time to be with him. He was 4 and I missed so much early time with him. It was time for me to move on. I helped David get started with the Purple record and was excited about it. But in the end kids are more important. In 2015 you joined Glenn Hughes to tour Europe. In which countries do you play? It was two short tours. One was in South America for 3 weeks that included Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay. Then in the fall we went to Britain, France, and a few other spots in Europe and Ireland. At beginning of 2016 you joined The Dead Daisies as the new guitarist. How did this come about? How do you feel about being part of the band? It came about as Richard Fortus returned to Gn’R and recommended me to the guys. Also, I worked with Marko in WS in 2004 and we were friends. Brian Tichy was also in WS. John Corabi and I grew up in Philadelphia and I knew him for years. They were all friends and I thought it was a kick ass band! It was a good challenge to jump right in and write a record from the first day together. I thought we did very well. It was great for me to be back in a real band. April 6th “Burn It Down”, was released, the new record of the band and in my opinion one of the best CD from the band. What do you think about this new CD? How was it received by the fans and, what were the reviews from the press like? We had achieved some good success with “Make Some Noise” (2017), so there was a little pressure but once we got together we immediately got the chemistry for the new record. We wanted to make a fresh sound with 70s feel and vibe. So far we have had a strong start as the record was well received and has charted well in many countries including Top 40 in the US. We still have much promotion and touring to do now.
Let´s change now… How’s life for Doug outside of music? I mean family and hobbies? What Doug like to do when is not rocking? My son Ryder is going to be 9 in a couple months and I have a 2 year old daughter called Ruby. They keep me very busy when I’m not in the studio or on the road. I’m married to a great girl Danni and we have fun with the kids. I practice a lot of sport with my son. He is very interested in soccer and other sport. About the band. Can we say to The Dead Daisies this year in Cuba? We are ready whenever we get invited. I’ve never been in Cuba and I would love to visit and play there. It would be an honor! I’ve been to so many great places and I heard Cuba is amazing!! Well Doug, this is all. Thanks for your time and all the best for you and the band! Before we finish, is there something that you would like to say to the Cuba public and in general people that love rock music. Thank you for your passion and support for Rock n Roll! Cuba has a big influence in the world and I think it will get greater. Thank you and hope to see you soon! Warm regards Doug

THE DEAD DAISIES - “DEAD AND GONE” - OR ARE THEY?? “Burn It Down is a five-alarm fire, a strong contender for Album of the Year.” - Brave Words Magazine THE DEAD DAISIES are releasing a new single and music video this Friday, June 22nd for “DEAD AND GONE”, one of the crowd favorites off their latest, chart-topping album “BURN IT DOWN”. The video combines classic performance elements intertwined with appearances from the Undead, which were created, filmed and edited by legendary horror visionary Tony Valenzuela (Black Box TV, Villisca). During the last run of shows in Europe and when in Berlin, the band filmed the performance sequences at Black Box Music (Rammstein, 30 Seconds To Mars, Linkin Park, Marilyn Manson) with the zombie footage being shot, so to speak, in Los Angeles at the mythical Daisyland studios. The video premiered globally on Planet Rock UK on Friday June 22nd at 10 am BST. This also marks the official kick-off to the band’s new “Daisyland” platform, which invites everyone from around the world to be a part of the band’s journey. From day one, The Dead Daisies wanted to provide all lovers of rock music with a place to hang out, have a blast and enjoy the vibe without being ripped off for the experience. “Daisyland” is that place!!! Singer John Corabi about “Dead And Gone”: “Dead And Gone is one of those tracks that must be played LOUD!!! It’s got a great groove, and it’s basically about living life, (responsibly) having fun, and not letting ANYBODY judge you for wanting to have a great time!!!!” The previous single “RISE UP” is still climbing the US-Active Rock Charts and being used extensively in NASCAR promotional campaigns across the USA. The band are about to embark on their 2nd Japanese headline tour followed by a stint of European headline shows and festivals with KISS, Joe Satriani, The Scorpions and Guns n Roses. August sees the band return to North America for a month long run with long-time mate and current Gn’R keyboard player Dizzy Reed and his Hookers & Blow. The album “BURN IT DOWN” has entered the charts around the world! Led by a #6 in the US Billboard Heat seekers Chart, a #10 in the prestigious German Media Control Charts, #12 in the US Hard Music Charts, #14 in the UK Sales Charts, #15 in both Switzerland and Austria as well as numerous other chart entries around the world, the album very much delivered on the promise of “Burning down everything in its path”! At radio, the single “Rise Up” has been added to massive playlists worldwide. The track is climbing the US-airplay charts (currently #35 at Active Rock), is on huge stations in Germany, Italy, France, Sweden and Spain as well as UK’s Planet Rock Radio adding both the single and the teaser track “Resurrected” to their A-Playlist. The Dead Daisies are: Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio), John Corabi (Mötley Crüe, The Scream), Marco Mendoza (Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy), Deen Castronovo (Bad English, Journey) and David Lowy (Red Phoenix, Mink). Rock is indeed alive and well!!! Look the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T1NzkCHKEg&feature=youtu.be
Evil Hunter fruit of the union of several members of grateful rockers bands of Spain is born. With a recently fulfilled year they have just thrown their homonymous album which has already received great acceptance among the Spanish public and I believe that with reason. This album is pure Heavy Metal Cañero and it will leave all the lovers of this gender with a good flavor to rock in the mouth. Taking advantage of the exit of this musical work decided to contact them and here it goes them this sole right through their vocalist Damián Chicano. By: Alejandro Pérez.
Hello boys! How are you? Hello that such, us to it collides. Thank you for your time and interest in the band. Let us begin with the principle. How is the idea born of creating the band? Evil Hunter is born as band in June of 2017; I have jousted now for one year. My name is José (Rubio) and he commented me that he had several ideas and topics, recorded together with Sure Gustavo and that it would be brilliant that works some melodies on them to see that it could leave. He and me, we had already worked previously in some demo. The case, is that the guitars and rhythmic base, I found incredible and I could make some melodies, to me to seem, very cañeras, so the topics left natural form, as much voice melodies as the letters. In some weeks we already had the whole practically compound disk, so already we had topics and it lacked to finish to form the band, so we look for a bassoonist and a second guitar, with the intention that overalls contributes positive energy to assure the direction and the continuity of the band, besides to be good musicians and to fit in the band. And we finally gave in the nail with Alberto Garrido and Victor Duran, that not alone they fit but rather they have also given Evil Hunter the sound that we were looking for. What bands would they mention as your main influences? Because this question is complex, since each one of us has some very different influences. For example, José is very off Accept and Scorpions, Gus is very of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Jethro Tull, King Krimson, Alberto is more than Maiden, Manowar, Helloween, Blind Guardian, Skizoo, Saratoga, Medina
Azahara…. to Victor a lot of Metallica has influenced him, Megadeth, Dream Theater, Opeth, Soilwork or Mr. Big, and I am much more Hard rockero, ro Guns and Roses, Whitesnake, Aerosmith, although I love the Heavy and Power Metal, Iron Maiden, Helloween, etc. How are their actually members? Evil Hunter is: José Rubio to guitars (Ex(Ex WarCry, Guitar of Jose Andrea Uroboros, Nova Era...) Damián Chicano to voice (Chicanos, Aerosruiz) Gustavo Segura to drum (Nova Era, Ex-Vargas Blues band…) Victor Durán to guitars (Ex-Lords (Ex of Black, Nightfear y otros) Alberto Garrido to bass (Alien Rockin’ Explosion, Ex-Black Ex Hat) Let us talk about their most recent homonymous album and that it left to the market at the beginning of year. How was it the edition process and recording? It can seem complex, since the batteries were recorded in Madrid, the guitars and bass in Orense and d the voices in Tarragona, but the certain thing is that the recording was a quite simple process, because although it seems lie. José Rubio already has many charts like producer; composer and musician, so once the hints of the whole band were, for me it was simple to record from my study in Tarragona and to send the hints so that everything fit. If the CD has that force and heat, having recorded this way, imagine what will be the second album of the band, all in the study…. That will burn!!! How many songs bring it and in what inspired to compose the same? same The truth is that when making the voice melodies, and the letters, there the weight relapses enough of my side, and there is taking care a lot of the details, the force, the intensity, etc. AND as for thematic, we are always inspired by our experiences, and in the day by day, but overalls, of to give us and to give the public that force and desires of fighting, of surviving and of confronting all the daily battles, each one his. Our topics are that dose that gives us force to continue ahead in a jungle of the life. We are the hunters of the wrong, we are Evil Hunter. Tracklist: 1. Evil Hunter - Surf the waves 2. Evil Hunter - Evil Hunter 3. Evil Hunter - Heartbeat 4. Evil Hunter - Hot Leather 5. Evil Hunter - Hold me tight
6. Evil Hunter - Go 7. Evil Hunter - By your side 8. Evil Hunter - Open up your eyes
Any promotional video? We have until now two videos of the two first tracks of the CD: Evil Hunter - Surf The waves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i8cGmtTDaU Evil Hunter - Evil Hunter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIazGWHfmN4 How has all related with the promotion and diffusion of the CD? The truth is that at the moment, we are happy with Fighter Records, since so much the distribution, promotion and CD diffusion is being at international level, so, like I say, contentment are a little. It has had good reception on the part of the specialized means and public in general? Because what is public didn't stop of receiving messages through our mail and of Facebook requesting disks, signed overalls, and as for the means, the critics of the disk could not be better. From several means of United States, Canada, South America, Europe or Australia have ended up us to name like one of the best albums premiere in the history of the rock, others that it is of the best disks in the year, etc. so skin hen with each review. They are all in our facebook page, there are some 10 or 12, so you can take a look and to be similar of having astonished that us. Where can one obtain this CD at the moment? You can find the CD here: Listen and buy our digital First CD here: http://fighter-records.bandcamp.com/ Physical copy here in Fighter Records: http://shop.xtreemmusic.com/ It got me the attention that you signed contract with the noted one for the launching of this CD wift Fighter Records, which is selected by several bands of the rock panorama of Spain. What advantages does it offer this record label to the groups of rock of Spain so that they decide to sign contract with them? S Sincerely, Fighter Records offers the experience and the master, giving an example, of a good brewer artisan. They know the musical scenario, the keys, the business, and their pros and their contras. For us, Fighter from the minute one has shown us a blind trust in the band and it has bet for us putting the necessary means so that the disk was in the street and it arrived to everybody, so, that, together with the comments of other partners and friends of other bands that are also with Fighter, made us bet for them. Inside little the festivals of summer rock will begin in Spain and of sure you will participate in some. What plans do you have the band for next months? Do you rotate presentations, etc?
The truth is that when leaving the CD April of 2018, 10 most of festivals they had the closed poster, besides although we all come from previous bands, more or less well-known, the one publishes exactly it has begun to hear of us and to know the songs and the band, so it has plundered us exactly. But the good news is that from autumn until autumn, we hope not to get off the scenario, and to begin a presentation tour that if everything goes well, it will take us to different rooms of all Spain and of other countries. For sure in our company of Booking and Management (Izkar) they will be amusing with us everything 2019! ;) Good boys, this is everything.

“El V4lor del T13empo” "The V4lor of the T13empo is titled the most recent Cd of the Spanish band Otra Cara. Taking advantage that they are in a rest after several presentations I decided to contact them so that they comment us on this new work and on other aspects of the band, everything in words of Javi (guitarist). By: Alejandro Pérez. Hello boys! How are you? Hello that such, a pleasure to talk with you… I have understood that the band is believed at the beginning of the 2000 by what you already take 18 years on the scenarios of the rock. How would you value these almost 20 years for the trajectory of the band? Good there we continue, fighting to make us a hole in the rocker world, we continue with the same desires and illusion and we believe that soon the recompense arrived. During every year the members of the band the same ones have been or have you suffered changes in the alignment? The truth that there has not been a lot of change for the time that takes the band in asset, but if, they have passed some, now we can say that we have a group with OTRA CARA How are the actually members? Sito to voice, Javier and Raúl Medina to guitars, Pablo Steiner to drum and Francisco Carella to drum. Let us talk about their most recent titled CD “El V4lor del T13empo”. How was it the edition process and recording?
It was all very flowing one, we had the topics enough structured, and with Pablo Domínguez our producer, everything was simpler. How many songs brings and that the same ones go? It are 10 tracks, it speak of lived experiences, real..., with those that any person could be identified. How made the artwork of the CD? The work belongs to Mónica Cornejo, with which we already work in our previous disk. She has taken care of many the details when working the new design and she has given a lot of personality to the final result. What message did you want to transmit with the cover of this work? Taking into account the title of the CD, we wanted to recreate the fight that we take day by day against the step of the time and as we allow it to go, when we should make some decision. It is necessary to think and to act quickly, immediately, always taking the best road. Any official video? We made “Ser Real” as our first video clip. How has all the related with the promotion and diffusion of this CD? To work with a company like Warner Music gives you more opportunity to give to know your work. How has the same one been received as much for the public as for the specialized press? Because the truth is that we are very happy with the welcome that is having our new disk so much in the direct ones that we offer like in the specialized critics, this gives you force and energy to continue believing in that we make. Does everybody who wants to acquire this work where it can make it? Physically here in Spain one can acquire through the Fnac and The English Cut, also in our page web: www.otracararock.com, also, through the digital platforms: iTunes, Spotify and Deezer In the 2012 you decide to make a version of the song “A golpes contra el calendario” of the grateful Alejandro Sanz. Why being you a rock band decided makes totally a far away topic of its work line? Although our influences come from the rock, there are groups and artists outside of this panorama to those that admire, and one of them is Alejandro Sanz, he is one of the best musicians and composers that he has given our country and for us it was an authentic pleasure to make a version of one of their topics.
How view was it this version fundamentally for those that don't follow the rock? Surprisingly for us it had very good acceptance, ance, mainly for Alejandro Sanz unconditional fans. Changing topic. Inside little the festivals of summer rock will begin in Spain and of sure you will participate in some. What plans does it have the band for next months? Do you rotate presentations, etc?

Dies Vinnie Paul, founder and drummer of Pantera & Hellyeah. The musician of Dallas was considered a teacher in the touch of the drummer with double pedal.
Vinnie Paul, founder and drummer of Pantera, with 54 years, it has died for causes that at the moment they have not been revealed, as it has communicated the family through an official statement in Facebook, in the one that doesn't offer more details. Vinnie Paul whose true name was Vincent Paul Abbott, became famous for the power of its touch of double drummer that ended up giving commercial name to a type of battery pedal. At the moment he stayed active with the group Hellyeah. "Vincent Paul Abbott alias Vinnie Paul has died. Paul is known better by his work as drummer in the bands Panther and Hellyeah. There are not more available details at this time. The family asks him to respect its privacy during this time”, the official statement prays. The form of playing of Paul, born March 11 1964 in Dallas (Texas, EE UU), he has left print in the North American metal, so much for their work in Panther or Damageplan, like for their concerts with Hellyeah, formed by former members of several groups, as Kyle Sanders or Christian Brady. La vida de Paul estuvo marcada por su hermano Dimebag Barrell Abbott, with who founded Damageplan and Panther. But this guitarist also of Panther it was murdered December 8 2004 by a fan that accused him of having been the causing of the separation of the band. The murderer was called Nathan Gale and he hit him 15 shots. The siblings were children of Jerry Abbott, country composer. Although unknown outside of the circuit of lovers of the thrash, Panther -a quartet cultivated among disks of Black Sabbath and Judas Priest - it dispatched during their 13 years of acme seven million copies in United States and a lightly inferior quantity in the rest of the world. The first formation of Panther you car published the disks and era a comparatively slight band, very concerned for the image. The singer's entrance Phil Anselmo supposed a look change and a hardening that he gave his fruits when they jumped to a big company. Panther maintained that brutal line, without accusing receipt of the arrival of the grunge and successive tendencies. The crudeness of their sound and the blind fury of its letters locked them in its market, where they had enough public to place Far Beyond driven, its disk of 1995, in the number one of United States in its first week, although the favorite work of the nucleus hard of followers it was the previous , Vulgar Display of Power.
