HEAR ‘N NOW
“Let’s Rock The Stage”
Single Review by Iron Mathew

10/10

Hear ‘N Now are an American based heavy metal coalition, featuring the talents of many of the worlds metal and rock artists. The coalitions first single ‘No Road To Ruin’, released in 2020, featured artists such as Steve Grimmett (from Grim Reaper), Patrick Kennison (of Lita Ford), Chris Natalini (from Blood Feast), Ed Mischke (of Veronica “The V” Freeman), and Alex Olivetti (from Threatpoint). These artists came together to bring music and hope back to the forefront while raising awareness for, and thanks to those who have been working countless hours to keep our world healthy and well, during the early days of the unprecedented worldwide pandemic that has changed our way of lives forever.

For the coalitions second single ‘Let’s Rock The Stage’, American based record label RFL Records, has teamed up with the multi artist coalition. This single is focused on raising awareness and support for the Save Our Stages Act – assisting music venues and booking agencies that may be facing financial crisis and/or permanent closure. Once again, Keep It Metal Promotions organised a team of artists from around the United States, and as far away as Australia – artists such as Chris Natalini (of Blood Feast), Stu ‘The Hammer’ Marshall (of Death Dealer), Steve Stine (from Guitar Zoom), Taryn Dorothy (of Starlight), Ed Mischke (of Veronica “The V” Freeman), Brian Ozz (of Blackened Earth), and the band Corners Of Sanctuary.

‘Let’s Rock The Stage’ was written and produced by Mick Michaels (guitarist for Corners Of Sanctuary), and is available digitally through RFL Records. Additional sponsors to the Hear ‘N Now initiative include A Creation Productions, March Baby Media, Wrecking Ball Metal Fest, Cosmick Productions and the Vagabond Entertainment Group which produced the new single’s lyric video.

So what of the new single? ‘Let’s Rock The Stage’ very much follows the sound and style of the first single – a traditional “old school” flavour, with a rabble rousing call to arms chant style chorus “let’s rock the stage, let’s raise our voices, carry wayward on, as the world rejoices, let’s rock the stage, there is no doubt, of the power it holds, it’s what we’re all about”. A powerful message to defiantly state that we’re not gonna be defeated, that we’re gonna survive, and music will return to the stage.

Overall, a great initiative, featuring many stars of the metal and rock world, all coming together for a singular cause.
