The Great Wall (2016)

MelodicRock Records further expands its international roster with the signing of hot Norwegian newcomers Outlasted. MRR released the debut Outlasted album ‘Into The Night’ in in two configurations – the regular edition and a limited Special Edition featuring 2 exclusive bonus tracks. The album is produced by guitarist Terje Fløyli and expertly mastered by Harry Hess. One of the new breed of Scandinavian rock bands, Outlasted picks up the mantle of classic rock and wears it with distinction. The song feature a solid, punchy rhythm section, soaring vocals, and beautifully textured arrangements—in short, melodic rock at its finest.

Mamma Non Piangere was a relatively unknown RIO band heading from Italy in the late 70's, and released two albums during their short-lived career. They formed in Milan around 1978 by guitarist/violinist Lorenzo Leddi, who also was the only member to be featured on both of their albums. They disbanded shortly after the release of their second album, which was recorded live shortly after the release of their debut album and had a completely different line-up other than Leddi's presence. The reason why they disbanded are temporarly unknown. Musically, they are heavily reminiscent of bands such as Henry Cow, Gruppo D'alternativa, Stormy Six and other bands notable from the RIO genre, spiced with their own unique twist which implies their sense of unique, unusal and eclectic instrumentation, songwriting and arrangements.
