Bio:
Already being talked about are the powerful quintet named Tainted Nation. Assembled firstly in his head by Pete Newdeck, it wasn't too long before this aspiration became a stark reality. Drummer of Eden's Curse - Pete had been busily writing and demoing material with friend and also Lionsheart Guitarist Ian Nash, putting together an album of powerful commercial yet modern heavy material. The twist being that this time Newdeck had sung. This material was given an overwhelming thumbs up by friends and music media collegues to the point where Newdeck and Nash wanted this to take a further route. Having bonded a friendship on the Stratovarius/Firewind/Eden's Curse tour with Firewind powerhouse drummer Mark Cross, who also worked with the Scorpions, Helloween a.o. Newdeck quickly approached his first choice Cross - Mark wanted in without question. He was overwhelmed by the identity of the music along with his surprise of Newdeck's vocal ability and talents.Pontus Egberg - former bassist of The Swedish sensations The Poodles, now in King Diamond, was also enthused by the fresh sound and what this band had to offer. Again he wanted in and soon after with the addition of a fifth member on second guitar, with Joel Peters this formidable line up was complete. The band announced the line up in 2010, with their intentions to complete recording as soon as possible.The debut album F.E.A.R. was released on January 25,2013 and gained great interest within the media. Having already given interviews to media and radio stations. Recorded in Athens, Stockholm and Tewkesbury England, produced by Pete Newdeck and mixed by none other than Dennis Ward, who's list of stunning album mixes and production is endless and widely talked about.Say's Pete: 'I feel lucky to have had such jaw dropping contributions to this album-by everyone involved . It has grown into something that we, as a band are extremely proud of'.Press are already alikening the identity to Sixx A.M., Shinedown, Bullet For My Valentine along with many past and classic influences, with a strong commercial vane running right through the middle. The band's aspirations are to get out live and start the talking!! "We wanna show everybody what this band's got in store and why we believe so much in Tainted Nation' says Cross.Tainted Nation played shows on Festivals and eight headline dates in Spain in 2014 supporting their first album and two Video clips of the song "Loser" and "Dare You", which were released in February and December 2013.At present Tainted Nation are busy touring across the UK and recording their second album, no release date has been set yet, but is expected sometime in 2015.
Abum:
TAINTED NATION is Hard Rock band hailing from the both the UK and Sweden consisting of rather well known musicians from the Rock / Metal worlds: Pete Newdeck (EDEN'S CURSE, GRIM REAPER, KILLERS, Steve Grimmett), Pontus Egberg (THE POODLES, LIONS SHARE, ZAN CLAN), Ian Nash (Steve Grimmett, LIONHEART) and the skin man Mark Cross (FIREWIND, OUTLOUD, HELLOWEEN, KINGDOM COME). Their music is a deliverance of Hard Rock mixed with power and modernized echoes. Just recently they unleashed their debut via Massacre Records, “F.E.A.R.”.“Dare You” opened the gates with power riffs driven by elements of modern mixing with a fine melodic voice pattern of Pete Newdeck at the helm. The chorus is totally brilliant. “You Still Hang Around” followed former's lead yet with a spectacular guitar solo hammering in the style of THE POODLES. There were a few electronic add-ons that reminded of the cover of the Industrial DOPE to the 80s hit “You Spin Me Round”. “Loser” will make your heyday, pure power with a melodic edge with a smashing chorus. Worth to listen is also “Who’s Watching You”, a fast paced Heavy Metal attack while “Your Only Friend” continues ramming forward with a memorable chorus planted and executed with modern techniques and a grand wall of sound. “Don’t Forget Where You Came From” bites the flesh with low tuned guitars along with an atmosphere inspired by a mixture of QUEEN and AMARANTHE. There are also a few fresh ideas and sounds of keys with plenty of power in the vein of PINK CREAM 69. “Never Promised You Anything” shares the sensations of the THE POODLES. Energetic chorus & fantastic guitars of the “Haunted” reminded me the melodies of OZZY OSBOURNE's latest hit, “Let Me Hear You Scream”. “Don’t Tell Me” seemed a bit different, still straightforward but also way progressed and complex than the rest of them, a great guitar solo on top of a wonderful rhythm section. “What Are You Waiting For” is your average modern Heavy Metal onslaught, pretty nice, well played and a showcase of the members' musical experience. I also found rudiments of HELLOWEEN, NICKELBACK and EDGUY.I'm totally surprised by album of TAINTED NATION. The production is in a high level, and the material shows plenty of character. I'm sure that everyone who is a fan of Hard Rock, with bits of melodic, yet tough, Heavy Metal would like to take on this album. Sincerely, this is a must.
