ATTACK OF LIFE: THE BANG TANGO MOVIE returns in a newly restored HD and 4K edition, celebrating the documentary's 10th anniversary. Released for free online in 2016 in standard definition, the film quickly gained a cult following for its raw, unfiltered look at the rise, struggles, and enduring legacy of Bang Tango—one of the most misunderstood bands to emerge from the late '80s hard rock scene. Staying true to its original spirit, the upgraded version is once again being released free on YouTube.
The life and career of pioneering heavy metal frontman PAUL DI'ANNO - the powerhouse voice heard on Iron Maiden's early albums, will be celebrated in the forthcoming documentary DI'ANNO: IRON MAIDEN'S LOST SINGER to be released by Cleopatra Entertainment this summer. Director Wes Orshoski captures the late singer riding an emotional rollercoaster toward the end of his life. Featuring appearances by James Hetfield (Metallica), Gene Simmons (KISS), Maiden's Steve Harris and members of Exodus, Slayer, Megadeth, Overkill and Sepultura. One of icons of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s, London-born Di'Anno helped launch Iron Maiden around the world, appearing on two of the most foundational metal albums ever released: Iron Maiden's 1980 self-titled debut and the celebrated follow-up, Killers, released in 1981.
Guitar legend STEVE VAI has offered a first look at his signature PIA Gold Flame model guitar. Vai: "Jack Butler had a head cutting duel with Midas and won. Welcome the new and extraordinary David Bonvillain Ibanez gold flame PIA. And she's a beauty. Special shout out here to the most extraordinary David Bonvillain for his absolutely brilliant imaginings and artistic techniques. And deep appreciation to Ibanez for being so excellent and consistent." "The Gold Flame - from the Bonvillain Studio comes the next spark of inspiration. After trying several variations of colors, the gold on black hit with the hardest punch. Hand applied and burnished 24k gold leaf enhanced with freehand pinstipping - a lot of work goes into the finish, and it shows. Vai calls it the Gold Flame.
