AngelMilk Records

Angelmilk Records is extremely pleased to announce the signing of cult AOR heroes Alias for the long overdue release of their classic never released second studio album, to be titled Never Say Never.
The album’s release comes after Angelmilk’s Andrew McNeice spoke at length with the band’s guitarist Steve DeMarchi and representatives of EMI Canada, who the album was originally recorded for. EMI were so enthused with the idea, they decided to undertake the remastering process from original master tapes themselves and will control the release of the title in North America.
Rights for the world outside North America are with Angelmilk Records and a release across all territories is planned for March. An exact release date will be confirmed this week and announced ASAP – along with Soundbyte previews.In 1990, former members of both Sheriff (“When I’m With You”) & Heart formed Alias and released their self-titled debut album which went on to Platinum sales and chart topping songs including “Haunted Heart”, “Waiting For Love” and “More Than Words Can Say”.
Now after more than 18 years, here it is…the second Alias album…for all the fans who have asked through the years why the band never followed up their highly praised debut release!
Recorded over a five month period in West Orange, New Jersey USA back in 1992, this album has not seen the light of day until now! A few of the songs from these sessions were later re-recorded and appear on vocalist Freddy Curci’s solo debut release Dreamer’s Road, but other then that, the songs originally recorded, have remained in the vaults.
Among the tracks featured are several songs written by James Christian (House Of Lords) and Mark Baker (Signal).
It is fully expected that Alias will support the release of this record with a few select live performances in 2009.

Guitarist Steve DeMarchi states: “Unfortunately for us and many other rock bands at that time .. the Grunge scene exploded and had taken over … Even though the first Alias album was successful…the climate of music had changed almost overnight… Grunge was in … Rock was out. Through the years we always wondered if this album would ever get released…Never Say Never!”
The Band: Freddy Curci – Vocals / Steve DeMarchi – Guitars / Marco Mendoza – Bass / Larry Aberman – Drums / Robert O’Hearn – Keyboards / Dennis DeMarchi – Keyboards.

Angelmilk Records is very pleased to announce the signing of Novak for a new studio album due for release in the first half of 2009.

Novak is none other than Mind’s Eye vocalist Andreas Novak. The debut Novak release Forever Endeavour was released via MTM Music in 2005 and was met with both critical and popular acclaim. The Novak name was last seen on Volume 3 of the MelodicRock.com compilation series – a song called Said And Done.

But there was always unfinished business with the Novak brand and Angelmilk Records approached Andreas with the plan to make a second album and make it even better than the debut.

Andreas Novak says: “I’m really excited about this opportunity. This time we’ll focus on making a more solid rock album, with lots of effort on good melodies instead of equilibristic achievements. You want surplus shredding? I’m sure you’ll find it somewhere, but not on this album. We have a bunch of high quality rock songs in store, and anyone who’s disappointed with the purchase will get a full refund from me personally!

We’ll lock ourselves up in the studio now, and won’t get out ’til February. Until then, Novakation.”

Andrew McNeice says: “The debut Novak release was something special. Classy melodic rock, but with that additional extra spark that put it apart from many other albums and I’ve always anticipated where Andreas could take that sound. The exclusive track used on MRCD3 proved to me that Novak is a special brand of music and I am very proud to add this release to our roster for 2009.”

The album will once again feature Mind’s Eye drummer and producer Daniel Flores and will be released on Angelmilk Records in 2009.
