Tony Hatton on bass and Doug's brother Sam on vocals completed the lineup. The band gigged extensively around London but after a few vocalist changes decided to call it a day in the middle of the '90s. Airforce took to the stage once again in 2008, with Chop being the only original member. After several lineup changes, the original band mates finally reunited in 2016, after the release of the retrospective album "Judgement Day". The band released several EPs, a studio album and a live album, and toured regularly in the UK, Europe and across the Atlantic, including some festival appearances and 2 tours supporting Steve Harris' British Lion. https://airforceuk.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/airforcebanduk www.bravewordsrecords.com wwwmetalshop101.com - [Blackie Lawless Interview](https://www.metalshop101.com/blackie-lawless-interview/) - We have absolute heavy metal royalty on the show.

People seem to base their lives around how quickly they can get something and how much of it they can consume before leaving it behind and moving on to the next "instant grat." This is what we've become accustomed to in the 2020s. But instant grat has no soul. It has no longevity. It has no real redeeming qualities. Upcoming Texas based hard rocker CHRISTIAN SHIELDS records music with soul, longevity and most importantly redeeming qualities. Shields may be a bit younger than most of his contemporaries but those contemporaries are also his inspiration. He grew up listening to their music, letting it shape him, both as a person as well as a striving musician. "When I was 11, I saw a video of Kiss performing in Houston, TX on September 2nd 1977,” Shields recalls. “When I saw Paul Stanley jumping around, strumming chords and pointing at the girls, I decided I wanted to do that." SHIELDS released his debut album, 'This is Rock 'N' Roll' in 2020 to regional appraise, playing shows in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and California and winning over everyone he met along the way. The album was done before I had band. “It was just the producer, Kevin Gutierrez, my guitar player Marshall Benson and myself.” In early 2025, Christian went back into the studio ... not to record an album, rather to do one single, "Fall Like Rain," his current release, which brings us back to the "instant grat" situation. Christian explains, “people don't add albums to playlists. They usually add a song or two they like. You also don't need to tour in support of an album anymore. Because of the internet, everything is relevant at all times and not mutually exclusive.” SHIELDS takes the instant grat myth and blows it to pieces. Opening with all the subtlety of an atomic explosion, "Fall Like Rain" tears the roof off in true arena rock fashion all the way through. As for the song, “it's real and an experience we've all had. After it all falls apart we sometimes feel lost and hardened. You pick up the pieces and decide where to go,” The video for "Fall Like Rain" was directed by Tom Flynn and shot in New York City. “We filmed it on a soundstage in Long Island. The video shows flashes of what's it's like to feel that breakup and loss of a relationship. Like walking through purgatory and just wanting to speak to the other person but they are not there.” Rock 'N' Roll is a young man's game and CHRISTIAN SHIELDS is that young man. - [Rob Hussey Of Cyanide Interview](https://www.metalshop101.com/rob-hussey-of-cyanide-interview/) - Cyanide from Las Vegas Brand new album 21 Gun Salute, streaming everywhere October 17th, 2025! Las Vegas’ own Cyanide is here to bring back the glory days of heavy metal. To party like it’s 1989. For fans of Motley Crue, Van Halen, Metallica, Def Leppard, Kiss, Ratt, Judas Priest and Guns ‘N Roses among other legendary heavyweights. Their 11 song debut album Lethal Dose is full of high octane, sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll fueled tracks. From the uptempo opener Bitches to Blame to sleazy album closer Whole ‘Lotta Trouble (dedicated to the legendary Sherri’s Ranch in Pahrump, Nevada), this album brings back the spirit and attitude of classics like Too Fast for Love, High ‘N Dry, Out of the Cellar and Appetite for Destruction. Tracks like Drinkin’, Pump it to Me (featuring John Zito of Count’s 77 on slide guitar), Lookin’ for a Good Time, first single What Comes Around Goes Around and the classic power ballad It’s a Long Road prove this band has what it takes to take 80’s hard rock into the next generation. Cyanide has wowed audiences with its original songs as well as spot on covers like Queen of the Reich, Ten Seconds to Love, and even obscure classics like Kix’s Girl Money, while opening for such legends as Skid Row, Krokus, Stephen Pearcy of Ratt, Steel Panther, Doro Pesch, Grim Reaper, Trixter, Rough Cutt, Enuff Z’Nuff, Bulletboys, Black ‘N Blue, Tuff, Femme Fatale, Cheap Thrill and more. Now in 2025 Cyanide has emerged with a new album called 21 Gun Salute. They recently signed with Kivel Records and the album will debut worldwide on all streaming sites October 17, 2025. You can order the CD now at https://www.kivelrecords.com/store/product/cyanide-21-gun-salute/ Cyanide mastermind Rob Hussey and acclaimed producer Ty Sims have created a timeless hard rock album that has been sorely missing in this world of computerized auto tune drivel. With a powerful new metal edge that keeps their core 80’s hard rock sound while also bringing a fresh new heavier approach, the new Cyanide album is sure to please old and new fans alike. Tracks like Social Media Disease and As the World Burns show a much heavier, deeper, more mature side of the band. The old school glam and sleaze of tracks like Slip N Slide and Get up and Dance will have you standing on your seat with your fists in the air. The ballads Never Let Me Go and cover of the Climax Blues band classic I Love You are truly beautiful pieces of music, with soaring guitars and gorgeous melodies. The first single, 21 Gun Salute, is a deep moving tribute to the troops of the United States of America. A song about unity in a time of division, this song is poised to put Cyanide in the major leagues.

The new band was selected in 1982 by Mike Varney of Shrapnel Records to appear on the label's compilation album U.S. Metal Volume 2. After only two albums, Virgin Steele of 1981 and Guardians of the Flame of 1982, Starr left Virgin Steele in 1983. In 1984, Starr started his solo recording career with the album Out of the Darkness, featuring former Riot vocalist Rhett Forrester, members of The Rods and former Rainbow drummer Gary Driscoll. It was released in Europe by Music for Nations and was picked as one of the best albums of the year by the music magazines Kerrang! and Metal Forces. Starr changed the name of his band to Jack Starr's Burning Starr and between 1984 and 1989 he produced albums, both solo and with the band. The music of those albums was classic American eighties heavy metal, a style between Poison and Metallica. In 1989 the band dissolved and Starr joined short-lived bands like Strider and Smoke Stack Lightning. In the following years, Starr once again assembled a group of musicians for a new incarnation of Burning Starr, which performed at the Magic Circle Festival 2008 and released the album Defiance on Manowar's label Magic Circle Music in 2009. In 2011 they released Land of the Dead with Limb Music. The albums includes ex-Manowar guest musicians Ross the Boss and David Shankle.

Known for his versatile voice and unapologetically raw delivery, Austin has built a reputation across the UK and Europe as an artist who treats every show, big or small, with the same level of dedication and intensity. His commitment to high-energy, show-stopping performances has made him a standout in the metal scene, both as VIP Suite’s former frontman and now as he embarks on a new solo project under The Paul Austin Band. Austin’s new venture showcases the skills, experience, and stage presence that have become his signature, further solidifying his place as a major force in UK music. With The Paul Austin Band, he’s poised to bring his unyielding vision and relentless passion to new audiences, ensuring his performances continue to leave an unforgettable mark. With a number of releases on the way, a new music video, along with a plethora of creative projects The Paul Austin Band will be a name spoken about within the music industry - [The Rising Fall](https://www.metalshop101.com/the-rising-fall/) - KK. Demetri Of The Rising Fall The Rising Fall “Can’t keep us down” is the mantra that newly-formed, original heavy rock group from the Chicago area, The Rising Fall lives by. Formed in 2022, The Rising Fall is comprised of members that have known each other through the years with musical paths that have crossed in one way or the other. Drawing from old-school influences with the likes of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Kate Bush, Iron Maiden and Megadeth, to post 90’s artists such as Deftones, Nine Inch Nails, Evanescence, and Alice in Chains—The Rising Fall writes hook-based melodies that included high powered vocals, thought-provoking lyrics, driving guitar riffs and solos, and a progressive style rhythm section that combines the “old with the new” to make it uniquely their own. -
